Objective To investigate the infection prevention effect of prophylactic use of antibiotics for cancer inpatients with leukocyte count ≤ 1 × 109/L.Then to provide the basis for rational use of antibiotics.Methods It was retrospectively surveyed that the infection situation and prophylactic usage of antibiotics in the 426 cancer inpatients with leukocyte count ≤ 1 × 109/L caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Results In the 426 inpatients,the infection rates of patients with and without prophylactic use of antibiotics were 11.0% and 20.9% respectively.The difference was statistically significant (x2 =6.815,P =0.009).The leukocyte count median values of patients with and without infection were 0.73 × 109/L and 0.77 × 109/L respectively.The difference had no statistical significance(Z =-1.257,P =0.209).The main infection sites were lower respiratory tract,upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract with infection rates of 48%,12% and 11%,respectively.The top five pathogens were Klebsiella pneumonia,Enterobacter cloacae,Escherichia coli,Enterobacter aerogenes and Staphylococcus aureus.The most use of antibiotics were cephalosporin.Conclusion When the leukocyte counts of cancer inpatients are less than or equal to 1 × 109/L induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy,reasonable prophylactic use of antibiotics can reduce hospital infection rates.

Objective:Based on the survey of qualitative and quantitative on rural doctors in 6 provinces and cities in China , this paper aimed to compare the present situation of construction of rural doctors under the new health care reform and explore the impact of the new health care reform as well as to propose some suggestions . Methods:Based on the survey of questionnaire and in -depth interviews on rural doctors in 6 provinces and cities in China .Results:The problems existed for rural doctors in China such as insufficient number of personnel , ag-ing, lack of young rural doctors supplement , low level the requirements and situation of professionalism , etc.Con-clusion:It should accelerate the process of the cultivation of rural doctors , promote the education level of rural doc-tors, gradually ease the current situation of the rural doctor shortage .

Retinoblastoma (RB), the most common primary intraocular malignancy in infants and young children, poses a serious threat to visual function and the life of children when systemic metastasis occurs. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a recently discovered class of non-coding RNA that mainly functions as competitive endogenous RNA by regulating gene expression through competing with microRNA. circRNA can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, regulating various biological processes in RB cells, such as proliferation, migration, apoptosis, autophagy, and drug resistance, thereby providing new therapeutic targets for RB. In addition, the differential expression of circRNA in tumor tissues or exosomes is expected to be a potential biomarker for RB. Further studies and explorations are still needed for the functions and regulatory mechanisms of circRNA in RB to reveal their precise roles in organisms and potential clinical applications.
