The emergency surgical infection management checklist of hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Zhejiang, China.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic broke out in 2019, it is highly contagious, and the infection rate among medical staff is high. The management of infection prevention and control during emergency surgery of COVID-19 patients has been outlined and the perioperative infection management checklist for emergency surgery of COVID-19 patients has been summarized and validated. There have been 13 emergency surgeries performed on COVID-19 patients at our hospital during this time.

An interventional implementation project: hand hygiene improvement.

Background: Good hand hygiene is the most effective basic measure for preventing hospital-acquired infections. This research project, which originated from a project report on improving hand hygiene at a general hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, aimed to investigate the effectiveness of hand hygiene improvement among the hospital staff.

Methods: Since 2017, a hand hygiene improvement project involving the staff of a 2,500-bed general teaching hospital in Zhejiang, China, has been carried out.

Evaluation of disinfection procedures in a designated hospital for COVID-19.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 has spread globally and been a public health emergency worldwide. It is important to reduce the risk of healthcare associated infections among the healthcare workers and patients. This study aimed to investigate the contamination of environment in isolation wards and sewage, and assess the quality of routine disinfection procedures in our hospital.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection of hospital isolation wards hygiene monitoring during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak in a Chinese hospital.

Objectives: The aim of this paper was to monitor the presence of SARS-Cov-2 among hospital environment surfaces, sewage, and personal protective equipment (PPE) of staffs in isolation wards in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, China.

Methods: Surfaces of objects were routinely wiped with 1000mg/L chlorine containing disinfectant. Air and sewage disinfection was proceeded routinely and strictly.

Clinical prediction score for superficial surgical site infections: Real-life data from a retrospective single-centre analysis of 812 hepatectomies.

Superficial surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the most common postoperative complications of hepatectomy for liver cancer. The objective of this study is to clarify the risk factors and determine a clinical prediction score for SSIs after partial hepatectomy for malignant tumour. A total of 812 consecutive patients were enrolled who underwent partial hepatectomy for liver malignant tumour from January 2017 to December 2017.

Exposure to a 50-Hz magnetic field induced ceramide generation in cultured cells.

Purpose To investigate the effects of a 50-Hz magnetic field (MF) exposure on ceramide metabolism, as well as the cascade downstream signaling pathways in human amniotic (FL) cells. Materials and methods FL cells were exposed to MF at 0.4 mT for different durations (from 5-60 min).
