OBJECTIVE:To study the pathogenic organism of sepsis in children with tumor and its drug sensitivity for references of clinical medication.METHODS:The drug sensitivity of hemoculture samples of children with neoplastic hema-tologic disorder was detected by paper disk method.RESULTS:Of the total109pathogenic bacteria isolated from hemoculture samples,60(55.0%)were gram-positive(G + )bacteria,47(43.1%)were gram-negative(G - )bacteria and2(1.8%)were fungi.Vancomycin,teicoplanin and aminoglycosides were more sensitive to G + bacteria,while carbopenems and cefoperazone/sulbactam were more sensitive to G - bacteria.CONCLUSIONS:In treating sepsis in children with tumor,the choice of drugs should be based on the drug sensitivity test,the possibility of G + and G - bacteria infections should be considered in empiric treatment and the possibility of mycotic infection should also be considered after long-term administration of antibacterials.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and clinic antibiotics usage in children′s hospital and provide basis for reasonable use of antibiotics. METHODS K-B disk agar diffusion method was adopted to detect drug susceptibility in vitro.Chi-square test was used to analyze the data. RESULTS Among all the pathogenic bacteria the proportion of Gram-negative bacteria was 67.1%,the first five predominant species were Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumonii,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus/baumannii,accounted for 21%,16%,6.3%,6.0% and 6.0%,respectively.Piperacillin,cefuroxime and cefotaxime showed resemble curves of time-antimicrobial resistance. CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens in children′s hospital.Resistance rates of most bacteria against the second and the third generation cephalosporins have increased markedly.Obvious mutiple-antimicrobial resistance exists among antibiotics with resemble structures and antimicrobial mechanisms.The trend of change in antibiotics′ resistance is parallel with that of the drug′s quantity used.Rotative principles may be applied to the usage of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of clinical pharmacists in the treatment of critical patients at perinatal stage. METHODS:During the treatment process of 4 critical patients at perinatal stage,according to the patients'special pathophysiolog-ic status (such as urea cycle disorder,dyslipidemia,severe infection,can not recover circulating blood volume rapidly,etc.), weighing the order of priority,based on relevant guidelines and literatures,clinical pharmacists provided individual medication ad-vices in respects of drug selection,medication timing,treatment course,drug combination and dosage adjustment,such as using cefuroxime,reduced glutathione,ursodesoxycholic acid,etc.,stopping drugs timely or adjusting antibiotics therapy plan. They al-so provided pharmaceutical care as lab index determination and ADR monitoring. RESULTS:Physicians adopted clinical pharma-cists'advices,and then 4 critical patients were all recovered. CONCLUSIONS:During the treatment course of critical patients at perinatal stage,clinical pharmacists should select safe and effective drugs as much as possible and adjust therapy plan in time ac-cording to clinical symptoms. When the security runs counter to effectiveness,clinical pharmacists should fully weigh the advantag-es and disadvantages and guarantee the maximum safety of pregnant or delivery women and fetuses.

The fall risk was evaluated with Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (Chinese version) in 426 elderly hypertensive patients (hypertensive group) and 436 elderly people without hypertension (control group) from rural communities in Zhejiang Quzhou areas.The fall risk scores were compared between hypertensive group and control group ; and also between patients with history of falls and those without falls.The results showed that the average score was 8.62 ± 2.15 in hypertensive group and 9.35 ± 1.35 in control group (P ＜ 0.01).The average score was 6.94 ± 1.85 in hypertensive patients with history of falls (n =112) and 9.22 ± 1.42 in without history of falls (n =314) (P ＜0.01).Our study suggests that there is a higher fall risk in elderly hypertensive patients than in elderly people without hypertension; and fall risk assessment with Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (Chinese version) can be used for prediction of fall for the elderly people in rural community.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of platinum-based chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Clinical data of forty-one elderly patients (≥70 years) with advanced NSCLC who were treated by platinum-based chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 41 patients, 18 (43.9%) patientswere treated with vinorelbine, 9 (22.0%) patients with gemcitabine, 7 (17.1%) patients with paclitaxel and docetaxel respectively. The overall response rate was 19.5%. The median time to progression (MTTP) was 5.8 months, and 1-year survival rate was 65.8% with a median survival time (MST) of 14.2 months. No significant statistical differences were found among the four regimens. The major side effect was bone marrow suppression. Three patients withdrew chemotherapy after one cycle due to grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression. There was no death associated with chemotherapy. Conclusions The platinum-based combined chemotherapy is effective and well-tolerated in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.
