    Objective To study the residual of ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol in medical devices. Methods Thirteen kinds of polymer materials commonly used in medical devices were sterilized, and ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol residues were tested by gas chromatography without analysis.After 3, 5 and 7 days of analysis, the effects of ethylene oxide residue and resolution rate, as well as the effects of extraction temperature, time and chloride ion concentration on the detection of 2-chloroethanol were detected. Results No 2-chloroethanol was detected in any of the 13 materials after sterilization. Acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer (ABS), polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride ethylene oxide residues were 632.27, 577.66 and 524.53 μg/g, respectively, while silicone rubber and fluoroplastics had fewer residues of 5.34 and 72.73 μg/g, respectively. There was a significant difference in the resolution rate of different materials, and the resolution rate of fluoroplastics and polyetheramide block copolymers was the fastest, with 100.00% and 98.34%, respectively. The concentration of chloride ions had an effect on the detection of 2-chloroethanol. Conclusion Medical device companies should conduct specific analysis of the selected materials at the beginning of product design, and reduce ethylene oxide residues by controlling sterilization and analysis conditions if necessary, while the control of 2-chloroethanol residues may not be necessary.

    Objective To study the disinfection effect and influencing factors of a photocatalytic disinfection machine on the air and surface of objects in an mist chamber under experimental conditions. Methods Air disinfection simulation field experiments and carrier quantitative killing test methods were used to observe the disinfection effect of a certain photocatalytic disinfection machine on laboratory air, fabric, and flat carrier. The method of comparing the number of bacterial colonies in each group using plate staining was used to explore whether there are disinfection factors produced in the air. Results The main disinfection factor of this photocatalytic disinfection machine was titanium dioxide, supplemented by metals such as rhodium and silver as photocatalysts. Under broad-spectrum ultraviolet irradiation and circulating wind conditions, the killing rate of Staphylococcus albus in air reached over 99.90% after 30 min of disinfection. Increasing the circulating air volume to 2 h, resulted in a 38.36% killing rate of Staphylococcus aureus on the fabric, but did not achieve the disinfection effect. The killing rates of Staphylococcus aureus on the agar plate after 4, 6, and 8 h of disinfection were 93.17%, 95.36%, and 97.06%, respectively. Conclusion The photocatalytic disinfection machine has a good disinfection effect on air in aerosol chamber, and the disinfection efficiency is positively correlated with the circulating air volume.

    Objective To observe the bacteriostasis potency of 13 individual antimicrobial agents and 6 compound liquids against Burkholderia cepacia. Methods The tube suspension method was used to monitor the survival of Burkholderia cepacia in various individual antimicrobial agents and compound liquids. Results Among the 13 commonly used individidual antimicrobial agents, a 2.0% solution of 1, 2-hexanediol and a 0.08% dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride incubating for 0.5 h, 0.15% methylparaben inccubating for 24 h, and 0.10% ethylparaben incubating for 1 h, the killing log value for Burkholderia cepacia decreased by ≥5.0, and the killing log values of other individual components were ≤ 3.0 after incubationg for 28 d. The number of bacteria in the test system of 0.15% ethylparaben, 0.08% and 0.12% cetylpyridine chloride could still increase when the number of bacteria in the system < 10 cfu/mL. The bacteriostasis efficacy of 0.05% caprylhydroxamic acid + 0.15% p-hydroxyacetophenone and 0.13% dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride + 0.06% cetylpyridine chloride did not meet the ISO 11930 “Evaluation of the antimicrobial protection of a cosmetic product”requirements, and the bacteriostasis efficacy of the other four compounds met the requirements. Conclusion The bacteriostasis potency of individual antimicrobial agents against Burkholderia cepacia can be enhanced by specific compounding.

    Objective To observe the effect of time and temperature on the concentration of available chlorine in a certain 84 disinfectant during storage. Methods The iodine assay was used to detect the changes of available chlorine concentration of a commercial 84 disinfectant after 12 weeks at 4, 10, 20, 30 and 37℃. The degradation rate was calculated and the high fitting curve of the disinfectant was plotted. Results After 12 weeks storage at 4, 10, 20, 30 and 37℃, the available chlorine concentrations of 84 disinfectant with initial available chlorine content of 72.31 g/L decreased to 59.90, 58.13, 55.60, 45.72 and 38.63 g/L, respectively. The degradation rates of available chlorine were 17.16%, 19.61%, 23.10%, 36.77% and 49.34%, respectively. The degradation rate of available chlorine in the first 5 weeks was significantly higher than that in the last 7 weeks at 5 storage temperatures. When the storage temperature was below 30℃, the available chlorine content was stable after 5 weeks. Conclusion The higher the temperature, the faster decrease of the effective chlorine concentration. At low concentration, decrease rate is relative slow, and the disinfectant is more stable.

    Objective To explore the distribution of pathogens and risk factors of neonatal hospital infections. Methods A retrospective survey was conducted on 1 569 newborns in the neonatal ward of a certain hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. Hospital clinical medical records and pathogen isolation and identification results of blood, sputum and umbilical secretions were collected, and the univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify the risk factors for nosocomial infection in newborns. Results The incidence rate of nosocomial infection was 4.91%, mainly respiratory tract (50.65%), followed by urinary tract infection. A total of 85 pathogenic strains were detected in 77 children with nosocomial infection, mainly Gram-negative bacteria(60.2%), among which Escherichia coli had the highest proportion (47.05%). The proportion of Staphylococcus hemolyticus in Gram positive bacteria was the highest (9.41%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gestational age < 37 weeks, having three or more underlying diseases, hospital stay of≥7 d, amniotic fluid contamination, mechanical ventilation, feeding intolerance, mechanical ventilation and feeding intolerance were independent risk factors for neonatal nosocomial infection. Conclusions Neonatal nosocomial infection is mainly respiratory tract infection, and pathogenic bacteria are common with Gram-negative bacteria. Effective prevention and control measures should be taken especially for high risk factors to reduce the nosocomial infection rate.

    Objective To evaluate the effect of intensive terminal disinfection on nosocomial infection of multi-drug resistant orgamisms (MDRO). Methods The data from 2017 to 2019 were retrospectively investigated as the pre-intervention group, and the data from 2020 to 2021 were prospectively monitored as the post-intervention group. The discovery rate, bacteria composition ratio, and detection rate of MDRO nosocomial infection before and after intervention were compared. Results On the basis of routine disinfection in a primary intensive care unit (ICU)medical area, vaporized hydrogen peroxide technology was used to strengthen the terminal disinfection. The discovery rate of MDRO nosocomial infection after intervention was 1.84%, which was lower than 2.83% before intervention(P<0.05). After the intervention, the constituent ratio of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) and carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens (CRSM) and the detection rate of nosocomial infection decreased (P<0.05). The detection rate of nosocomial infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) did not increase statistically, but the constituent ratio increased (P<0.05).Conclusion Intensive terminal disinfection can reduce nosocomial infections caused by MDRO, but we need to pay attention to nosocomial infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), especially CRKP.

    Objective To observe the disinfection effects of a LED ultraviolet disinfection cabinet on different types of object surfaces, so as to provide a reference for the application of LED ultraviolet disinfection technology. Methods Using a carrier quantitative bactericidal test method, the LED ultraviolet disinfection cabinet was set to irradiate for 10 s and 120 s. The bactericidal effects on various carriers under different irradiation doses were observed. Results Irradiation for 10 s resulted in a log reduction of >3.00 for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli on filter paper and part of stainless steel plates contaminated with TSB. Similarly, the log reduction values for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli on glass slides, plastic sheets, and filter paper contaminated with 3%BSA were also >3.00. Irradiation for 120 s led to a log reduction of >3.00 for Bacillus cereus var. mycoides on filter paper contaminated with TSB, and a log reduction >3.00 for Candida albicans on glass slides and filter paper. For slides, plastic sheets, and filter paper contaminated with 3%BSA, Bacillus cereus var. mycoides also had a log reduction >3.00, and Candida albicans on glass, stainless steel, plastic sheets, and filter paper had log reductions >3.00. Conclusion LED ultraviolet light can achieve good disinfection effects on microorganisms on filter paper, with carrier types and organic contaminants significantly influencing its efficacy. Appropriate disinfection programs should be selected based on the material, cleanliness, and potential pathogens of the items to be disinfected.

    Objective To explore the effect of different mouthwashes on the bacterial count in the air of oral clinics during ultrasonic cleaning and the acceptance of mouthwashes by patients. Methods A total of 56 patients treated with ultrasonic cleaning were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the order of entry into the study, namely hydrogen peroxide group, chlorhexidine group, hypochloric acid water group, and control group, with 14 cases in each group. Patients were required to rinse with 40 mL of 1.50% hydrogen peroxide, 0.12% chlorhexidine, 100 mg/L hypochloric acid water, and sterile water for at least 1 min before ultrasonic cleaning. Before treatment, during treatment, and at 0 and 10 min after treatment, air samples were collected by natural sedimentation on a blood agar plate for 5 min, bacteria were cultured and the total number of colonies was counted, and bacterial species identification was performed. The patient's acceptance of the four mouthwashes was investigated through a questionnaire survey. Results After treatment with hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, and hypochloric acid water, the total number of bacterial colonies in the air reached its maximum at 0 min. After 10 min of treatment, the total number of bacterial colonies in the air of all three groups decreased to 4 cfu/dish, with Staphylococcus pidermidis being the highest proportion. The hypochloric acid water received the highest acceptance. Conclusion Rinsing with 100 mg/L hypochloric acid water for 1 minute before ultrasonic cleaning can reduce the total number of bacterial colonies in the air of oral clinics, and has a higher acceptance.
