Objective To promote the rational antibacterial drug use for common digestive system (DS) diseases by reviewing the clinical application of antibacterial drugs for hospitalized patients, formulating the hospital clinical specification of antibacterial drugs for common DS diseases and establishing the clinical application of antibacterial drug differentiation index for DS department.Methods 300 cases were selected from 2 060 hospitalized DS patients in the year 2014 based on the given disease ratio.The usage rate and intensity of antibiotics were calculated with survey and medical statistical analysis.The differentiation index for the clinical application of antibacterial drugs were established.Results Theoretical values of usage rate and use intensity of antibiotics in DS department were 29.0%, 41.5 DDDs according to analysis.However, the practical values were 40.3%, 50.3 DDDs.Conclusion It is necessary to improve the level of clinical antibacterial drug use.One effective way to achieve such goal is to establish the differentiation index of antibacterial drug clinical application for the department.

Objective:To analysis effectiveness of the "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and "nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy (combined screening strategy) for screenin the imported patients with COVID-19 in Xiamen.Methods:The study populations were overseas travelers arriving in Xiamen from March 17 to December 31, 2020, and overseas travelers who had quarantine outside Xiamen for less than 21 days from July 18 to December 31, 2020. Data were collected and analyzed on the timing of detection, pathways, and test results of the imported patients with COVID-19 after implementing combined screening strategy.Results:A total of 304 imported patients with COVID-19 were found from 174 628 overseas travelers and 943 overseas travelers from other cities. A total of 163 cases (53.6%) were diagnosed by multitime, multisite intensive nucleic acid testing after positive finding in total antibody testing. Among them, 27 (8.9%) were first positive for nucleic acid in 14 plus 7 day quarantine and 136 were first positive for nucleic acid in 14-day quarantine. Only 8 of these individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after positive total antibody testing. The other 128 individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after being negative for average 2.3 times (maximum of 6 times). Aditional 155 cases might be detected by using the combined "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and " nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy compared with "14-day quarantine and nucleic acid testing" strategy, accounting for 51.0% of the total inbound infections. So the combined screening strategy doubled the detection rate for imported patients with COVID-19. No second-generation case caused by overseas travelers had been reported in Xiamen as of February 26, 2021.Conclusions:Xiamen's combined screening strategy can effectively screen the imported patients with COVID-19 who were first positive for nucleic acid after 14 day quarantine. Compared with "14 day quarantine and nucleic acid testing", the combined screening strategy improved detection rate and further reduced the risk of the secondary transmission caused by the imported patients with COVID-19.
