OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical individual medication of voriconatole. METHODS:The distribution of MIC of voriconazole to Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans were summarized as well as the pharmacokinetic parameters of voriconazole in different populations. Using probability of target attainment(PTA)and cumulative fraction of response(CFR)as indexes,crystal ball software 11.1.2.4 was used for Monte Carlo simulation of different dosage regimens of same population and same dosage regimen of different populations. RESULTS:For children with impaired immunity,when the drug doses of were 4,6 mg/kg and MIC was lower than 0.125 mg/L,PTA was higher than 90%;when the drug doses was increased to 8 mg/kg and MIC was lower than 0.125 mg/L,PTA was higher than 90%. For different populations receiving same dosage regimens(4 mg/kg),MIC of teenagers with impaired immunity was lower than 0.25 mg/L and those of healthy adults,patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and adults with impaired immunity were all lower than 0.5 mg/L,PTA was higher than 90%. CFR to A. fumigatus were 42.53%,58.41%,77.74%,70.16%,89.40%,93.72%,95.42% and CFR to C. albicans were 96.68%,97.13%,97.94%, 97.54%,98.07%,98.28%,98.35%among children with impaired immunity receiving different drug doses(4,6,8 mg/kg)and dif-ferent populations receiving drug dose of 4 mg/kg(teenagers with impaired immunity,healthy adults,patients underwent hemato-poietic stem cell transplantation,adults with impaired immunity). CONCLUSIONS:Various dosage regimens of different popula-tions included in this study could effectively control C. albicans infection. It is necessary to increase the drug dose of children and teenagers with impaired immunity in order to meet the needs of A. fumigatus infection treatment.

Objective To investigate the recurrence rate and recurrence risk factors of benign positional vertigo after manual reduction. Methods A total of 186 cases diagnosed with BPPV were selected as our subjects. Vertigo recurrence rate was calculated at 30 d,60 d,90 d after manual reduction. Risk factors for recurrence were analyzed using binary Logistic Regression. Results 172 cases diagnosed in BPPV patients completed 90 days follow-up. Vertigo recurrence rate was 8. 79%(16/182)in 30 days,17. 05%(30/176)in 60 days,and 22. 09%(38/172)in 90 days. The average age in recurrence patients was(59. 1 ± 10. 2)years old,significantly higher than the non-recurrent group( 47. 6 ± 7. 3 ). The recurrence rates in patients with complicated with hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,coronary heart disease were 57. 89%(22/38),60. 53%(23/38),73. 68%(28/38),39. 47%(15/38)respectively. Rise and turning neck are prone to recurrence,and recurrence rate were 16. 42%( 22/134 ),8. 21%( 11/134 ),9. 70%( 13/134 ) and 16. 42%(22/134). Recurrence rate of patients with manipulative reduction times ﹥10 times( reset multiple times before being cured)was 90. 90%( 10/11 ). Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration before manual reduction BPPV(OR=2. 631,95%CI 1. 082 -7. 572,P =0. 022)and the number of manual reduction ﹥10( OR=3. 107,95%CI 1. 205-7. 842,P=0. 018)after BPPV is manipulative reduction independent risk factor for recurrence. Conclusion Patients with BPPV in middle-aged and high seizure frequency have a high recurrence rate. Patients with BPPV complicated by hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,coronary atherosclerotic heart disease have the same higher recurrence rate. The rise and turn the neck often cause BPPV recurrence. The reduction and the number of manual reduction﹥10 are independent risk factors of recurrence of the BPPV.
