    Objective To understand the current status of cleaning and disinfection of flexible endoscopes in medical institutions in Shaanxi Province, so as to standardize the reprocessing procedures. Methods An on-site investigation was conducted across 42 medical institutions in the province to document the types of disinfectants used and the methods of cleaning and disinfection. Endoscopes reprocessed with different disinfectants and final rinse water were sampled on-site, and the results were statistically analyzed after culturing and colony counting. Results A total of 230 endoscopes from 42 medical institutions in 8 cities were monitored, with an overall qualification rate of 95.65%. This included 112 gastroscopes (94.6% qualified), 93 colonoscopes (96.8% qualified), and 25 bronchoscopes (96.0% qualified). Among the samples, 187 were from tertiary hospitals (95.7% qualified) and 43 from secondary hospitals (95.3% qualified). No statistically significant difference was observed in the qualification rates among the five disinfectants tested: ortho-phthalaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid, chlorine-based compounds, and electrolyzed oxidizing water (χ2=1.152, P >0.05). The highest qualification rate was observed for the combined manual and automated cleaning method (100%), while the lowest was for fully automated cleaning only (84.6%), with the difference being statistically significant (χ2=7.323, P <0.05). A total of 56 samples of final rinse water were collected, showing a qualification rate of only 62.5%, with severely elevated microbial counts. The qualification rates for final rinse water from tertiary and secondary hospitals were 61.9% and 64.3%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (χ2=0.025, P >0.05). Conclusion While the monitoring results indicate a high qualification rate for endoscope disinfection in Shaanxi Province, the low qualification rate of final rinse water highlights the need to strengthen process evaluation of endoscope reprocessing in addition to disinfection efficacy assessment.

    Objective To investigate the current situation regarding the reprocessing of loaners and implants in hospital Central Sterile Supply Departments(CSSD) across hospitals in China and to provide scientific basis for the implementation of industry standards. Methods A structured questionnaire was administered to 1 688 hospitals to investigate the management system construction, informatization level and current reprocessing status of loaners and implants in their CSSDs. Results 82.29% had fully realized centralized management, 99.23% had established the management system for loaners and implants, while 63.57% included these items in their information management systems. Specialized positions with relatively fixed personnel were set up in 68.54% of hospitals, and 64.45% could deliver loaners and implants to the CSSD before 15:00 on the day prior to surgery. Suppliers provided timely instructions for cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization in 66.05% of those cases. Lists including all loaners and implants were provided by 57.17% of suppliers.59.30% of CSSDs conducted the first sterilization effectiveness tests. However, 21.74% of CSSDs did not meet the requirements specified in the instructions. 88.86% of Postoperative loaners were returned to suppliers after CSSD reprocessing.The implementation rates of information management, specialized position settings, and sterilization effectiveness tests in tertiary hospitals were significantly higher than those in secondary hospitals (P<0.05). Conclusion Central management of loaners and implants is prevalent in Chinese CSSDs. However, there are still shortcomings in information construction and the implementation of specialized positions, as well as problems such as insufficient cooperation from suppliers and non-standard sterilization operations. These issues need to be optimized from aspects such as system implementation, supplier management, and sterilization technology monitoring to ensure medical quality and surgical safety.

    Objective To evaluate the disinfection efficacy of plasma air disinfection machines in the dynamic hospital environment and to analyze the correlation between airborne colony counts and bioaerosol concentration along with influencing factors. Methods The natural sedimentation method and aerosol monitors were employed to measure airborne bacterial colony counts and aerosol concentrations in two groups of hospital wards—one equipped with plasma air disinfection devices and the other without. A multivariate linear regression analysis and correlation analysis were conducted to examine the relationship between airborne bacterial colony counts and aerosol concentrations in the experimental and control groups. Results After disinfection, the airborne colony count in the test group (2.66 ± 0.74) cfu/(plate · 5 min) was significantly lower than that in the control group (4.74 ± 2.59) cfu/(plate · 5 min) (P< 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between airborne colony counts and the total bioaerosol concentration (r= 0.170, P< 0.05), with a significant association specifically with particles≥2.5 µm in diameter (P< 0.001). Factors such as window ventilation, use of other respiratory medical devices, total number of people in the ward, and toilet usage showed statistically significant effects on airborne colony counts (P< 0.05). Room temperature, mask-wearing rate in the ward, and toilet usage might influence the concentration of bioaerosols in the air (P< 0.05). Conclusion The application of a plasma air disinfector under dynamic hospital operating conditions demonstrates certain disinfection efficacy. Routine monitoring of aerosol concentration, particularly bioaerosol concentration, is beneficial for assessing the transmission risk of airborne pathogenic microorganisms.

    Objective To investigate the current status of the establishment and risk points of negative pressure isolation wards in selected hospitals nationwide, and to provide a reference basis for improving the hospital infection control and management system. Methods A survey was conducted in hospitals of different levels and types in 7 regions of China, to investigate the number of negative pressure isolation wards established, the setting of buffer rooms, pressure difference monitoring, and high efficiency particulate air filter maintenance, etc. Results 131 of the 340 surveyed hospitals (38.53%) had negative pressure isolation wards. Among the hospitals with negative pressure isolation wards, 114 hospitals had fully equipped buffer rooms, and 9 had partial ones. Among the hospitals with buffer rooms, 104 hospitals (84.55%) conducted differential pressure monitoring between all buffer rooms and wards, 89 hospitals (72.36%) had differential pressure monitoring between all buffer rooms and corridors. Among the 17 hospitals with negative pressure isolation wards without buffer rooms, 11 carried out differential pressure monitoring between all wards and corridors, and the pressure difference values basically met the requirements. Among the 131 hospitals with negative pressure isolation wards, only 76 hospitals (58.02%) met the requirements of buffer rooms establishment, pressure difference monitoring and qualified pressure difference values simultaneously; 66 (50.38%) performed air disinfection with ultraviolet lamps in the negative pressure isolation wards. Conclusion Obvious deficiencies exist in the buffer room configuration, standardization of pressure difference monitoring, and maintenance management of negative pressure isolation wards in some hospitals in China, and the overall compliance rate needs to be improved.

    Objective To explore the occupational exposure status of staff in central sterile supply department (CSSD), analyze its relationship with risk perception and protective behavior, and to evaluate the effect of systematic intervention strategies. Methods Convenient sampling was used to select 302 CSSD staff from 5 comprehensive hospitals in Beijing from March 2024 to March 2025 as the research subjects. A survey was conducted using general information questionnaires, occupational exposure risk perception scales, and occupational protection knowledge, attitude, and behavior questionnaires. Combined with occupational exposure registration data from January 2022 to January 2024 in the hospital infection real-time monitoring system, single factor analysis, multiple factor logistic regression, and path analysis methods were used to explore the influencing factors of occupational exposure and implement corresponding intervention measures. Results The occupational exposure rate of CSSD staff was 27.8% (84/302). Correlation analysis showed that occupational exposure frequency was significantly negatively correlated with the total score of risk perception (r=-0.612, P<0.001) and protective behavior (r=-0.423, P<0.001), while there was a significant positive correlation between risk perception and protective behavior (r=0.588, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the total scores of risk perception, protective behavior, occupational protection training, and work experience were significant protective factors for occupational exposure (OR>1, P<0.05). The analysis of the mediating effect suggested that occupational exposure not only directly reduced the level of protective behavior, but also indirectly affected protective behavior by reducing risk perception. Risk perception played a partial mediating role between the two, with the mediating effect accounting for 40.6% of the total effect. After intervention, both groups showed significant improvements in risk perception, protective behavior, and satisfaction scores compared to before intervention, with the intervention group showing a more significant increase (P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence of occupational exposure among CSSD workers in this region is relatively high, and the level of risk perception and protective behavior is closely related to occupational exposure. By systematically intervening to enhance risk perception, protective behavior can be effectively improved, occupational exposure risks can be reduced, and it has value for promotion and application.

    Objective To observe the influence of different material carriers on the disinfection effect of hydrogen peroxide, and to provide reference for the implementation and evaluation of disinfection effects of hydrogen peroxide on different disinfection objects in practical applications. Methods The carrier immersion quantitative bactericidal test method was used to test the killing effect of hydrogen peroxide on the contaminated microorganisms on the carriers of different materials. Results Using 10 g/L hydrogen peroxide disinfectant to soak three types of carriers contaminated with Escherichia coli, the disinfection effects on cloth sheets and stainless steel sheets were better than that on filter paper sheets (P<0.05); Using 30 g/L hydrogen peroxide disinfectant to soak three types of carriers contaminated with Candida albicans, the disinfection effect on cloth was better than that on stainless steel sheets and filter paper sheets (P<0.05); Using 30 g/L hydrogen peroxide disinfectant to soak three types of carriers contaminated with spores of Bacillus subtilis var. niger for 2 h, the disinfection effect of the stainless steel group was better than that of the cloth group and filter paper group (P<0.05); Using 30 g/L hydrogen peroxide disinfectant to spray three types of carriers contaminated with Escherichia coli, the disinfection effect on stainless steel sheets was better than that of cloth sheets and filter paper sheets (P<0.01); Using 60 g/L hydrogen peroxide disinfectant to spray three types of carriers contaminated with Candida albicans and Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores, the disinfection effect on stainless steel sheets was overall better than that of cloth sheets and filter paper sheets (P<0.01). Conclusion Different material carriers have an impact on the disinfection effect of hydrogen peroxide, and different disinfection methods also have an impact on the disinfection effect of different material carriers. When formulating disinfection plans, implementing disinfection processes, and evaluating disinfection effect, it is necessary to consider the impact of disinfection object materials and disinfection methods on disinfection effect.

    Objective To evaluate the protective efficacy of commonly used medical protective equipment against pulsed ultraviolet light at (20±0.5) Hz. Methods According to the method of Threshold Values and Biological Contact Index (2021 Edition),the test protective equipment was placed over the light-receiving surface of the detection probe. The ultraviolet irradiance was measured at distances of 20, 50 and 100 cm from the pulsed ultraviolet disinfection device, and the effective irradiance and the maximum safe exposure time were calculated. Results At distances of 20, 50 and 100 cm from the pulsed ultraviolet disinfection device, four types of white coats can completely block pulsed ultraviolet light. At a distance of 20 cm from the pulsed ultraviolet disinfection device, the penetration rates of pulsed ultraviolet light through protective suits and isolation gowns were 1.25% and 3.75%, respectively. None of the seven key protective items can completely block pulsed ultraviolet light. At a distance of 50 cm from the pulsed ultraviolet disinfection device, N95 masks, disposable medical gloves, and curtains could completely blockpulsed ultraviolet light. At a distance of 100 cm from the pulsed ultraviolet disinfection device, N95 masks, surgical masks, boot covers, disposable medical gloves, and curtains could completely block pulsed ultraviolet light. Conclusion In practical applications, protective equipment can be correctly selected based on the penetration rate and the longest exposure time of pulsed ultraviolet light for different materials.

    Objective To investigate the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide spray, peracetic acid spray, and ultraviolet (UV) germicidal lamp irradiation in removing nucleic acids from MS2 bacteriophage-contaminated aerosols. Methods Bacteriophage aerosols (1010 PFU/mL) were sprayed at 100 mL into each of five 60 m3 laboratory chambers. Disinfection was performed by spraying with 30 g/L hydrogen peroxide, 5 g/L peracetic acid, or by irradiation using 60, 90, and 120 W UV germicidal lamps. The copy number of the MS2 bacteriophage lysis protein gene was quantified via quantitative RT-PCR to compare the nucleic acid clearance efficacy of the different disinfection methods. Results The average copy numbers of the MS2 gene in the 30 g/L hydrogen peroxide group and the 5 g/L peracetic acid group were lower than that in the positive control group, measuring 1.49×109, 9.85×107 and 8.14×1011, respectively (F=217.396, P < 0.05). The 120 W UV lamp demonstrated the best nucleic acid clearance efficacy, with an average copy number of 7.26×108, which was significantly lower than the control group's 8.14×1011 (F=217.396, P < 0.05). The 120 W UV lamp achieved a nucleic acid clearance rate of 99.91%, higher than that of the 60 W and 90 W lamps, although residual nucleic acids were still detected. Conclusion Hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, and UV germicidal lamps exhibit a certain degree of efficacy in removing nucleic acids from highly concentrated aerosol contamination, but cannot achieve complete clearance.

    Objective In order to grasp the current situation and existing problems of medical waste management in various small medical institutions. Methods A questionnaire-based survey was conducted to evaluate medical waste management practices across 31 small medical institutions in 16 districts and counties of Chongqing Municipality. The study aimed to identify the predominant challenges in the current management system and propose strategic recommendations for its enhancement. Results Small medical institutions produced less waste, mainly infectious waste. The waste production coefficient of village clinics and general clinics were 0.03 kg/ people, respectively. The waste production coefficient of specialist clinics and community health stations was 0.16 kg/ people and 0.11 kg/ people. Medical waste disposal fees of small medical institutions are mainly monthly or annual fees, among which village clinics are mainly handed over to superior medical institutions for centralized disposal. Conclusion The common problem in the management of medical waste in various types of small medical institutions is mainly the delayed collection and transportation of medical waste. In addition, there are serious problems with non-standard storage facilities for medical waste, non-standard classification of medical waste, and non-standard disinfection of medical wastewater in village clinics, general clinics, and specialist clinics. It is suggested to formulate guidelines for standardized management of medical waste in small medical institutions, strengthen training on medical waste management in small medical institutions, strengthen supervision and inspection, improve the collection, transportation and disposal capacity of medical waste, and reduce the risk of medical waste disposal in small medical institutions.

    Objective To study the disinfection effect of compound plant essential oil disinfectant, and to conduct an in-depth analysis of its bactericidal performance and influencing factors. Methods The suspension quantitative bactericidal experiment was used to observe the bactericidal effect of the compound plant essential oil disinfectant, and the effects of temperature, pH, and organic matter on disinfection were determined. Results The plant essential oil compound disinfectant, when diluted at a ratio of 1︰30 and allowed to act for 10 minutes, achieved an average log reduction value of >5.00 against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of more than 25% calf serum in the bacterial suspension significantly reduced the bactericidal efficacy. Variations in temperature and pH also had a notable impact on the bactericidal effect.Within the temperature range of 10℃ to 40℃, the bactericidal efficacy increased with rising temperature. In the pH range of 4.5 to 8.5, the bactericidal effect enhanced as the pH increased. Conclusion The compound plant essential oil disinfectant has good germicidal efficacy. However, organic disturbance, temperature and pH have obvious influence on the bactericidal effect of plant essential oil compound disinfectant.

    Objective To evaluate and investigate the applicability of filtration efficiency indicators in medical mask standards, so as to provide a reference for the revision of these standards. Methods Data on particulate filtration efficiency (PFE) and bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) from 153 batches of medical surgical masks collected from an institution between 2020 and 2023 were analyzed. A segmentation method was used to examine patterns of BFE and PFE values across different ranges, and Pearson correlation analysis was applied to study the relationship between the two indicators. Results A positive correlation was observed between BFE and PFE in medical surgical masks(R=0.806). When PFE exceeded 80%, all masks demonstrated a BFE of≥95%. For masks with PFE between 30% and 79%, approximately 38% achieved a BFE of 95% or higher. In cases where PFE was below 30%, all BFE test results were less than 95%. Conclusion In emergency inspections and rapid screening, PFE testing can be used to evaluate the quality of medical masks. It is recommended that the Disposable Medical Mask standard include testing for bacterial filtration efficiency.

    Objective To investigate the current status of phacoemulsification handle reprocessing in domestic hospitals, and to identify major issues in the reprocessing procedure, so as to provide scientific evidence for improving the quality of phacoemulsification handle reprocessing. Methods A Delphi method was used to construct a survey questionnaire, and three rounds of expert consultation were conducted to form the final version of the questionnaire. Using stratified sampling, 64 hospitals were selected from 18 provinces (cities) in six major geographical regions of China, and a questionnaire survey was conducted on the current status of phacoemulsification handle reprocessing in these hospitals. Results 11 hospitals (17.19%) did not preprocess the ultrasonic emulsification handpiece; 19 hospitals (29.69%) and 12 hospitals (18.75%) chose tap water and saline solution as preprocessing fluids, respectively. Only Twenty-nine hospitals disassembled the ultrasonic emulsification handpiece before cleaning as required; thirty-nine hospitals (60.94%) used cleaning agents; and only forty-one hospitals (64.06%) used purified water or distilled water throughout the entire cleaning process. Twelve hospitals (18.75%) did not disinfect the ultrasonic emulsification handpiece. Only thirty-four hospitals (53.13%) used a pressure air gun during the drying process. And only eight hospitals (12.50%) placed the ultrasonic emulsification handpiece lumen vertically in the sterilizer during the sterilization process. Conclusion There are many irregularities in the reprocessing procedures of ultrasonic emulsification handpieces in domestic hospitals. Relevant management departments should take improvement measures based on the identified issues to reduce the risk of infection in intraocular surgery.

    Objective To analyze the drug resistance characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates from the intensive care unit (ICU) versus non-ICU settings, and to investigate the relationship between the carriage of qac genes and susceptibility to commonly used clinical disinfectants. Methods PCR was used to detect carbapenem resistance-related genes and disinfectant resistance-related genes in 86 clinical CRAB isolates. The drug resistance rates to antimicrobial agents, as well as the positive rates of antimicrobial resistance genes and disinfectant resistance genes, were compared between ICU and non-ICU isolates. Results Among the 86 CRAB isolates, the number of strains resistant to tigecycline was the lowest (n=7). The resistance rate to tigecycline in ICU-derived CRAB isolates was 12.28%, while non-ICU isolates were sensitive to tigecycline. The MIC value of benzalkonium bromide against ICU-derived CRAB isolates was significantly higher than that against non-ICU isolates (P < 0.05). The blaOXA-23 gene was carried by 97.67% of the CRAB isolates, while 47.67% and 25.58% of the isolates carried the qac∆E1 and qacE genes, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the positive rates of the qac∆E1 and qacE genes between ICU and non-ICU isolates (P > 0.05). The MIC values of benzalkonium bromide and chlorhexidine gluconate for qacE-positive strains were significantly higher than those for qacE-negative strains (P< 0.05). Conclusion CRAB isolates from the hospital ICU setting exhibits higher resistance to both antimicrobial agents and disinfectants compared to non-ICU isolates. Areas with qacE-positive CRAB strains should consider using higher concentrations of disinfectants.

    Objective To determine the disinfection-related optical characteristics of 222 nm KrCl excimer lamp produced by different manufacturers to evaluate their practical application efficacy. Methods Four 222 nm KrCl excimer lamps from different brands were selected. Spectra of both unfiltered light sources and filtered light sources were measured, along with irradiance levels recorded every 0.5 h during operation durations ≤8 h. Spectral peak shifts, stray bands, and half-bandwidths were compared, and the impact of filters on light source irradiance was analyzed. Results All four unfiltered sources exhibited a minor peak in the 250-260 nm band and noise bands in the 230-240 nm range. Irradiance showed significant variation within the initial 0.5 h, followed by slight increases or decreases over extended operation, with a maximum decline of ≤10%. After filtering, the irradiance loss rate for the four light sources ranged from 30% to 54%. Light source A showed no significant irradiance decay after filtering. Light sources B and C exhibited initial decay within the first 0.5 h but maintained relatively stable irradiance thereafter. Light source D demonstrated a lower decay rate than the unfiltered source during the first 3 h of operation, followed by a rapid decline thereafter. Conclusion When selecting a 222 nm ultraviolet excimer light source for disinfection, products equipped with filters capable of removing stray bands should be prioritized. Additionally, the operating time should be adjusted to minimize light source irradiance loss and ensure disinfection efficacy.
