Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a kind of life support technology that can replace lung and heart function, is widely used in critical respiratory and circulatory exhaustion. Because of the serious diseases and the use of interventional catheters, patients receiving ECMO life support are often administrated with broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, which increase the risk of fungal infection. Fungal infection during ECMO can increase mortality. How to effectively control fungal infection is a thorny problem faced by clinicians. During the treatment of ECMO, the patient's physiological status, ECMO oxygenation membrane, circulation pipeline and other factors may change the pharmacokinetic profiles of antifungal drugs, thereby affect the clinical efficacy of drugs. This artical reviews the pharmacokinetic characteristics of antifungal drugs during ECMO support, in order to provide references for clinical antifungal treatment.

The patients' age, gender, occupation, residence, season, cause of injury, Rüedi-Allg?wer classification, and AO classification were analyzed.Results:A total of 234 inpatients with tibial pilon fracture were collected, including 179 males and 55 females, with a ratio of male to female of 3.3∶ 1. The prevalence age ranged from 41 to 50 years in male patients (31.3%, 56/179) and from 51 to 60 years in female patients (25.5%, 14/55). In the 234 patients, farmers (101 cases, 43.2%), rural area (166 cases, 70.9%) and spring season (77 cases, 32.9%) accounted for a higher proportion. The proportions of high-altitude falling (41.0%, 96/234) and high-energy injury (61.5%, 144/234) were the highest. Of the 234 patients by the Rüedi-Allg?wer classification, 23 (9.8%) had type Ⅰ fracture, 90 (38.5%) type Ⅱ fracture, and 121 (51.7%) type Ⅲ fracture, with type Ⅲ fracture prevalent in males (58.1%, 104/179) and type Ⅱ fracture prevalent in females (16.4%, 9/55). Of the 234 patients by the AO classification, 131 (56.0%) had type 43B fracture and 103 (44.0%) type 43C fracture, with a higher proportion of type 43B fractures in women (67.3%, 37/55) than in men (52.5%, 94/179). In type 43B fractures, type 43B3 (43.5%, 57/131) and type 43B3.3 (75.4%, 43/57) were the most common; in type 43C fractures, type 43C3 (74.8%, 77/103) and type 43C3.3 (51.9%, 40/77) were the most common.Conclusions:In the recent 4 years in The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, pilon fractures increased year by year and occurred more frequently in spring.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of 5 regimens of colistin sulfate for common Gram-negative bacilli infection based on pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) theory and Monte Carlo simulation. METHODS Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) data of colistin sulfate against Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae in 2023 were collected from the China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System. Monte Carlo simulation was conducted with the ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours in the unbound state to the MIC (fAUC0-24 h/MIC) ≥15 as the target value, the probabilities of target attainment (PTA) of 5 regimens of colistin sulfate to achieve the target ratio were obtained at different MIC; and the expected population PTA, specifically the cumulative fraction of response (CFR), for each regimen within a specific bacterial population was further calculated, to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the five colistin sulfate regimens. RESULTS When bacterial MIC≤0.5 µg/mL, PTA of all colistin sulfate regimens (500 000 IU, q12 h; 500 000 IU, q8 h; 750 000 IU, q12 h; 750 000 IU, q8 h; 1 000 000 IU, q12 h) were all more than 90%. When bacterial MIC=1 µg/mL, PTA for regimen (750 000 IU, q8 h) against A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, E. coli and E. cloacae, and for regimen (1 000 000 IU, q12 h) against the other four bacterial species (excluding P. aeruginosa) remained above 90%. When bacterial MIC≥2 µg/mL, PTA of 5 colistin sulfate regimens were all lower than 90%. For E. coli, the CFR of only colistin sulfate regimen (500 000 IU, q12 h) was less than 90%; for K. pneumoniae, the CFR of only colistin sulfate regimen (750 000 IU, q8 h and 1 000 000 IU, q12 h) was greater than 90%; for the other three bacteria, CFR of 5 regimens were all less than 90%. CONCLUSIONS When the MIC of Gram-negative bacteria is less than 0.5 µg/mL, colistin sulfate regimen with a routine dose can be selected for treatment. When MIC was 1 µg/mL, an increase in the dosing amount or frequency is required. The empirical treatment of the other four bacterial infections excluding E. coli requires the use of off-label doses.
