ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for hospital infection in the medical physical examination center of a newly opened hospital, and to explore its prevention and control measures. MethodsBetween April and December 2012, we analyzed the risk factors for hospital infection in the physical examination center of a new hospital. A series of hospital infection prevention and control measures such as carrying out education and training of medical personnel, strengthening the prevention of needle stick injuries, implementing strict disinfection and sterilization, improving environmental hygiene, and implementing medical waste management, were developed. ResultsMedical staff's knowledge of disinfection and sterilization was improved; hand hygiene compliance was increased; hospital environmental hygiene was promoted, and medical waste was properly sorted out. ConclusionTaking reasonable measures for infection prevention and control can increase medical staff's awareness of hospital infection prevention and control, improve their practices of infection control and prevent hospital infections from occurring eventually.

MethodsThe data from 741 checkup clients were randomly sampled by questionnaire in checkup center in May, 2013, including 360 males and 381 females aged from 24 to 69 with an average of 43.5±11.2. ResultsThere were 668 valid questionnaires, with an effective rate of 90.1%. In these 326 males and 342 females, 589 (88.2%) had the consciousness of health management, 79 (11.8%) had no consciousness of health management; the health management services needs included:consultation offered by experts of examination report (556, 83.2%), health promotion plan (379, 56.7%), medical follow-up (301, 45.1%), green channel (280, 41.9%), health knowledge message (276, 41.3%) and lecture on health knowledge (200, 29.9%). The demand for health management differed in sex, age and checkup format(P<0.05), not in chronic disease conditions (P>0.05); the requirement for lecture differed in age and occupation(P<0.05); the requirement for health promotion plan differed in economic condition(P<0.05); the requirement for message and green channel differed in age and checkup pattern(P<0.05). ConclusionThe checkup residents' have high requirements for the health management and differ in health management services.
ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence rate of gynecologic diseases and its character of age distribution of women in Chengdu, China. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed gynecologic examination reports of women who underwent physical examination from December 2011 to November 2012. ResultsThis study included 23 389 women; the overall detection rate of cervix erosion was 20.98%. The detection rate of cervix erosion of women aged from 20 (included) to 30 was 44.81%, ranking first. The overall rate of abnormal cervical cytology was 0.93%, and the rate of women aged 41 to 50 was 1.20%, ranking first. The overall detection rate of uterine myoma, uterine adenomyosis, and ovarian tumor was 11.12%, 1.33%, and 3.60%, respectively. Fourty-one to 50 was the peak age of uterine myoma, uterine adenomyosis, and ovarian tumor; the detection rate was 19.95%, 2.46%, and 4.76%, respectively. The difference was significant in different age (P<0.05). ConclusionThe detection rate of gynecological common disease is high in childbearing aged women. Women aged 41-50 is the high-risk population of gynecological common disease.
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in health check-up population of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2011 to 2012 and to discuss the relationship between SCH and metabolic syndrome (MS). MethodsThose who received thyroid function tests and health examination in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2011 to 2012 were enrolled in the study. The data of medical history, blood pressure, height, weight, thyroid function, TG, HDL-C, FPG were collected. All data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 software. ResultsA total of 11 976 persons (7 488 male and 4 488 female) received thyroid function tests. There were 1 820 persons (884 males and 936 females, 15.20%) who suffered from SCH. The SCH prevalence was significantly higher in females (20.86%) than that in males (11.81%) (P < 0.01). The people over 60 years old had the highest SCH prevalence. There were 1 145 persons (1 005 males and 140 females) suffered from MS among all 11 976 persons. The MS prevalence was significantly higher in males (13.42%) than that in females (3.12%) (P < 0.01). The SCH prevalence of the MS group was higher, which in the health group was lower (P < 0.01). The TSH level in the MS group was higher, while it was lower in the health group. ConclusionThe prevalence of SCH is higher in health check-up population; and SCH apparently increases the risk of morbidity of MS.
