OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational utilization of antibiotics for special use. METHODS:Medical orders of antibiotics for special use in clinical departments of our hospital during 2013 to 2015 were selected from hospital information sys-tem. The consumption sum and its ratio,DDDs,DDC,DUI and the utilization of antibiotics for special use in clinical departments were calculated and analyzed. RESULTS:The consumption sum and its ratio of antibiotics for special use in our hospital during 2013 to 2015 both reduced year by year,decreasing from 21 872 200 yuan(48.00%)to 20 877 700 yuan(39.41%). The consump-tion sum ratio of carbapenems,cephalosporins and anti-deep fungal drugs showed descending tendency. The consumption sum ratio of anti-MRSA antibiotics changed slightly. DDDs of Meropenem for injection always took up the first place in recent 3 years,but the values were decreasing. DUI of Imipenem and cilastain sodium for injection was far less than 1,while those of Panipenem and betamipron for injection,Cefepime sodium for injection and Caspofungin acetate for injection(70 mg/injection)were far more than 1. The types of drug with DUI ranged 0.9-1.1 increased year by year,increasing from 3 types in 2013 (18.75%) to 10 types in 2015 (62.50%). Within 3 years, the utilization ratio of antibiotics for special use always took up the first place in ICU (86.64%-87.78%). CONCLUSIONS:The consumption sum and its ratio of antibiotics for special use in our hospital during 2013 to 2015 decreased year by year,and the utilization of antibiotics for special use become increasingly rational. But,there still are some problems,such as inadequate dose of Imipenem and cilastain sodium for injection,overdose of Panipenem and betamipron for injection,Cefepime sodium for injection and Caspofungin acetate for injection(70 mg/injection).

Objective To explore the roles of urokinase type PA (uPA) and uPA receptor (uPA R) in the course of repair after human embryo corneal alkali burn in vitro . Methods After the alkali burn model in vitro was established successfully, some techniques such as the observation of cell culture and morphology, ICC and image analysis were used. Results No significant difference was found between the cells from corneal limbus and central cornea and almost all of them expressed AE1/AE3. The expressions of uPA and uPA R increased to the maximum at about 24 h after alkali burn. uPA expression distributed mainly in the cytoplasm but uPA R expression distributed mainly in the cell membrane. Conclusion The corneal epithelial cells of comparatively high purity can be acquired by tissue culture. There probably exists difference in development and vitality between embryo and adult cornea. There might be commonness of the roles of uPA and uPA R in epithelial tissue.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of acridine orange fluorescene(AO-F) in bladder cancers. Methods One thousand and sixteen bladder cancer patients were reviewed retro-spectively. The positive-rates of AO-F in different stages, grades, size, quantity, position of tumors, hematuria and treatment ways were evaluated. Results The total positive rate of AO-F was 78.05 % (793/1016). The positive-rate was 74.69% (611/818) in superficial stage and 91.92% (182/198) in invasive bladder cancer, 67.24% (351/522) in grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ , 90. 37% (413/457) in grade Ⅲ. The percentage of positive AO-F was 80.30% (750/934) in patients with hematuria, 52.44% (43/82) in patients without hematuria. The percentage was 79.87% (710/889) when the tumor size was more than 2 cm, 65.35% (83/127) when size less than 2 cm. 83.07% (363/437) sample was positive in multiple tumors, 74.27% (430/579) in single tumor. The percentage was 77.21% (105/136) in tumors involving trigone or neck of bladder, 78.07% (687/880) in tumors without involving these re-gions. There was 69.68% (393/564) in treatment with TURBt, 87.87% (268/305) in partial resec-tion, 91.74% (100/109) in total resection. A good association was observed between stage, grade, hematuria appearance, tumor size, quantity of carcinoma, treatment way and AO-F positive-rate, and a linear correlation was present between grade, stage and positive cytology. There was no significant association between position of the tumor and AO-F positive-rate. Conclusions The function of AO-F is significant in diagnosis of bladder cancer.
