    Objective To evaluate the dynamic disinfection efficacy of a 222 nm ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer on high-frequency contact surfaces and airborne bacteria in a respiratory intensive care unit (RICU). Methods Seven isolated rooms within the RICU of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang, China, were selected. Rooms were assigned to either a control group (Room 2, 4, 6) receiving routine cleaning and ventilation, or an intervention group (Room 1, 3, 5, 7) receiving additional disinfection using a 222 nm UV sterilizer. Environmental samples were collected continuously for 3 days, with air and surface samples taken every 2 hours from 8:00 to 16:00 daily, totaling 1 050 samples. Bacterial colony counts and detection rates of Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) were measured. Results The intervention group showed significantly lower mean colony counts on both surfaces and in air samples compared to the control group (P<0.05). Surface bacterial load was reduced from (161.63±464.17) cfu/cm2 to (54.64±220.59) cfu/cm2, while airborne bacterial load decreased from (215.14±303.88) cfu/m2 to (150.65±106.52) cfu/m2. The detection rates of AB and KP also decreased significantly in both surface and air samples. Conclusion The 222 nm ultraviolet sterilizer demonstrates significant disinfecting efficacy in the RICU environment. It effectively reduces microbial contamination on surfaces and in the air.

    Objective To investigate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of antimicrobial peptide RP557 and its mechanism, and to evaluate its safety. Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of RP557 against various clinical isolates was determined using the microdilution broth method. The bactericidal mechanism of RP557 against Gram-negative bacteria was analyzed through time-kill assays, biofilm inhibition, outer and inner membrane disruption, and ion leakage detection. The safety of RP557 at the animal level was assessed through histopathological examination and hepatic and renal function tests. Results MIC values of RP557 were≤32 µg/mL against multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent Gram-negative and Gram-positive clinical isolates. Biofilm formation could be completely inhibited at 1×MIC. Treatment with 2×MIC induced a 1.5-fold increase in outer membrane disruption, 10-fold increase in inner membrane damage, and significant Na+/K+ leakage. No significant differences in hepatic/renal function indices or lung histopathology scores were observed in mice after 400 µg/mL aerosol exposure compared to controls. Conclusion RP557 induces bacterial death through a dual-membrane disruption mechanism. At certain exposure doses, it shows no toxic side effects, highlighting its potential as a novel bactericidal agent.

    Objective To explore the application value of sterilization parameter detection in the maintenance of pulsating vacuum pressure steam sterilizer. Methods The sterilization parameters were detected by the indicators and the temperature and pressure detector, and the indication function of these parameters in maintenance of the pulsating vacuum pressure steam sterilizer was observed and analyzed. Results Only one of the five pulsating vacuum pressure steam sterilizers passed the test, and four failed, including excessive balance time, maintenance time and temperature uniformity, as well as PCD and B-D test results. The balance time of one sterilizer was too long (147 s), the maintenance time was too short (65 s), and the monitoring results of type 6 PCD and B-D pack were unqualified. After several maintenance, the sterilization parameters were not up to standard. However, after the replacement of the inlet and exhaust solenoid valves, the sterilization parameters were significantly improved, the balance time was shortened (49 s), the maintenance time was extended (207 s), and the monitoring results of PCD and B-D packages were qualified. Conclusion The sterilization parameters can effectively determine the fault maintenance of the sterilizer, and can be used as the basis for judging the maintenance effect.
