Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology and risk factors of the expression of the efflux pumps of multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa). Method From April 2014 to October 2014 , clinical features of 100 patients infected with multidrug resistant Pa were retrospectivly analyzed . Results MexAB-OprM was expressed in all multidrug resistant Pa strains (100%). The expression rates of MexEF-OprN and MexCD-OprJin the multidrug resistant Pa strains were 50% and 36%, respectively. The risk factor of the three efflux pumps expression was analyzed and the results were as follows: the use of carbapenems and glycopeptides antibiotics was the risk factor of MexAB-OprM overexpression which was induced. The use of macrolide and carbapenems antibiotics was the risk factor of the induced MexEF-OprN and MexCD-OprJ expression. Invasive procedures, low WBC, anaemia, chronic fundamental disease and hospitalized in ICU ward were the common risk factors of communicable expression or overexpression of the three efflux pumps. Invasive procedures, low WBC, anaemia, chronic fundamental disease and hospitalized in ICU ward were commonly independent risk factors of expression of the three efflux pumps. Conclusion The normalized use of carbapenems and glycopeptides antibiotics , the reduction of unnecessary invasive procedures , the severely grasped standard of hospitalized in ICU ward , curing the fundamental diseases and improving the immunonity played important roles in the prevention of the expression or overexpression of the efflux pumps of multidrug resistant Pa.

Objective To investigate the effects of hyperfractionated radiotherapy versus hypofractionated radiotherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy on the prognosis of limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods A total of 188 patients with limited-stage SCLC were enrolled in this study and divided into hyperfractionated group (n=92) and hypofractionated group (n=96).The hyperfractionated group received thoracic radiotherapy at 45 Gy in 30 fractions twice a day, while the hypofractionated group received 55 Gy in 22 fractions once a day.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates, and the Cox model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results There were not significant differences in 1-, 2-, and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates and 1-, 2-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates between the hyperfractionated group and the hypofractionated group (82% vs.85%, 61% vs.69%, 59% vs.69%, P=0.27;85% vs.77%, 41% vs.34%, 27% vs.27%, P=0.37).The multivariate analysis showed that the time from the initiation of chemotherapy to the initiation of thoracic radiotherapy ≤43 days was favorable prognostic factor for PFS (P=0.005).The time from the initiation of chemotherapy to the end of thoracic radiotherapy ≤63 days and prophylactic cranial irradiation were favorable prognostic factors for OS (P=0.044;P=0.000).There were significant differences in incidence rates of grade 2 and 3 acute radiation esophagitis between the two groups (28% vs.16%, 9% vs.2%, P=0.009).Conclusions Both hyperfractionated radiotherapy and hypofractionated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy can improve the PFS and OS of patients with limited-stage SCLC.The time from the initiation of chemotherapy to the initiation of thoracic radiotherapy ≤43 days and the time from the initiation of chemotherapy to the end of thoracic radiotherapy ≤63 days are favorable prognostic factors for PFS and OS, respectively.However, the hyperfractionated group has significantly higher incidence rates of grade 2 and 3 acute radiation esophagitis than the hypofractionated group.

OBJECTIVE To explore wheth er there is a relationship between the judgment results of medical damage liability disputes related to off-label drug use and evidence-based evidence. METHODS By searching for medical damage liability disputes related to off-label drug use up to 2021 on pkulaw.cn ，documents were extracted to record objective factors ，subjective factors and judgment results ；whether there was evidence-based evidence was judged according to Off-label Drug Use List and Evidence-based Evaluation Standards for Off-label Drug Use of Guangdong Pharmaceutical Association ；univariate analysis was adopted to test the relationship between the judgment results and evidence-based evidence. RESULTS A total of 57 cases were included. Cases mainly occurred in the eastern China （63.2％）and tertiary hospitals （64.9％），the main appraisal agency was the appraisal center or institute（61.4％），and the most common type of off-label drug use was overdose drug use （45.6％）. Among the judgment results ， 23 cases（40.4％）of off-label drug use had a causal relationship with medical damage ，most of the responsibility of doctors was secondary responsibility （28.1％），and the actual compensation amount of the most cases were less than 100，000 yuan（54.4％）. There were 25 cases（43.9％）with evidence-based evidence. Univariate analysis found that for off-label drug use the claim amount of the case with evidence-based evidence was significantly higher than that of the case without evidence-based evidence （P＝ 0.040），and there was no significant correlation between evidence-based evidence and the actual compensation amount of the case （P＝0.741），causality determination （P＝0.256），liability type （P＝0.598）or appraisal agency （P≥0.260）. CONCLUSIONS There is no significant correlation between the judgment results of medical damage liability disputes related to off-label drug use and evidence-based evidence ，indicating that there may be certain differences between judicial trials and medical science. The off-label drug use should be regulated by establishing a complete off-label drug use management system and standardizing informed consent procedure for off-label drug use. 1610307322@pku.edu.cn
