OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of leucocyte increasing drugs in patients with lung cancer. METHODS:The application of drugs in lung cancer patients in 40 d each year were collected from 11 Zhejiang hospitals during 2009-2014,and then analyzed retrospectively in consumption sum,DDDs,DDC and department distribution,etc. RESULTS:The proportion of consumption sum of leucocyte increasing drugs in total consumption sum decreased generally in 11 Zhejiang hospital during 2009-2014,decreasing from 781 995.50 yuan in 2009(3.28%)to 626 792.80 yuan in 2014(1.53%). Top 3 departments in the list of consumption sum of leucocyte increasing drugs were oncology department(29.00%),radiotherapy department(27.08%) and respiratory medicine department(9.93%). Top 3 drugs in the list of consumption sum during 2009-2014 were recombinant hu-man granulocyte colony-stimulating factor,Coenzyme complex for injection and Leucogen tablets;top 3 drugs in the list of DDDs were Leucogen tablets,Berbamine tablet and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor;Coenzyme complex for in-jection,recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and human GM-CSF took the first three place in the list of DDC during 2009-2013,and Leucogen tablets were the top one in 2014. CONCLUSIONS:The application of leucocyte increasing drugs in lung cancer patients is decreasing year by year in 11 Zhejiang hospitals,and those with definite therapeutic efficacy and moder-ate price predominate clinical application predominate in the clinical practive.

Objective: To investigate the utilization status of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) in 11 hospitals of Zhejiang province from 2009 to 2015, and to analyze the use rationality.Methods: The doctor's advice in 40 days annually was collected in 11 hospitals of Zhejiang province from 2009 to 2015, and the drug consumption, frequency of utilization (DDDs), defined daily cost (DDC) and drug utilization index (DUI) were analyzed for the patients with lung cancer treated with EGFR-TKI.Results: Icotinib, erlotinib and gefitinib were the three prevalent EGFR-TKIs used in Zhejiang province, and icotinib started to be used in clinics in 2013.The overall cost of EGFR-TKIs increased year by year during 2009 and 2015, and the total amount of sales increased by 4.67 times in 2015 when compared with that in 2009.Generally, the DDDs value of erlotinib showed a decreasing trend, however, that of icotinib and gefitinib rose year by year during 2009 and 2015.Erlotinib had the highest DDC followed by gefitinib and icotinib.The mean value of DUI of the three targeted drugs was about 1.Conclusion: The utilization of EGFR-TKI is reasonable in 11 hospitals of Zhejiang province with increasing comsuption.

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the hearing performance of a new transcutaneous bone conduction hearing aid.Methods One hundred and nine patients with conductive or mix hearing loss and eleven patients with single sided sensorineural hearing loss from four tertiary referral centers were tested under unaided and aided conditions with the sound processors on testbands.Free field test was performed to obtain the hearing thresholds and speech recognition thresholds in quiet.Adverse events were also documented by a self-reported questionnaire.Results ①Conductive or mixed hearing loss patients:for aged≥6 yrs subgroup,the bone conduction PTA average of aided sides was 18.55±8.99 dB HL.For aged<6 yrs subgroup, the bone conduction ABR hearing threshold average was 18.33±8.36 dB HL.②Statistically significant improvements in free field hearing thresholds were seen when compared aided hearing with unaided outcomes.The average PTA (pure tone average in free field) was measured at 32.21±10.00, 37.33±14.15, and 34.38±10.76 dB HL respectively in conductive or mixed hearing loss aged≥6 yrs subgroup;aged<6 yrs subgroup and SSD subgroup.③In aided situations;speech recognition thresholds in quiet were significantly better compared to unaided situation in patients aged≥6yrs.④None of patients presented adverse events related to the devices.Conclusion The Sophono bone conduction hearing aid has satisfactory hearing performance and can be considered an alternative device for patients with conductive or mix hearing loss or with SSD.

Objective To compare the lung injury in thoracoscopic cardiac surgery with one-lung ventilation (OLV) and thoracotomy cardiac surgery.Methods A total of 60 patients underwent thoracotomy cardiac surgery (control group) or thoracoscopic cardiac surgery with OLV (observation group) in our hospital from May 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled,30 patients in each group.Two-lung ventilation was performed with a single-lumen endotracheal tube in the control group.In observation group,left lung ventilation was performed with a double-lumen endotracheal tube.Arterial blood gas analysis parameters,levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and surfactant protein A (SP-A) were detected after the induction of anesthesia (T1),before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)(T2),immediately after the onset of the CPB (T3),30 min after CPB (T,) and 60 min after CPB (T5),and the respiratory index (RI) was calculated at the above time points,as well.Lung tissues were collected during operation for nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) detection and pathological analysis.Results Compared with the control group,arterial partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2) were decreased at T3,T4 and T5,and RI values were increased at T2,T3,T4 and T5 in the observation group(P＜ 0.05).After surgery,the serum levels of ICAM-1 and expression levels of NF-κB in both two groups were increased,and serum levels of SP-A in both two groups were decreased;moreover,the levels of ICAM-1 and NF-κB in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05),and the level of SP-A in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P＜0.05).The lung histopathological changes showed alveolar swelling,neutrophil infiltration and interstitial exudation in the observation group,and inflammation in the observation group was more obvious than that in the control group.Conclusion Comparing with thoracotomy cardiac surgery,lung injury is more serious in thoracoscopic cardiac surgery with OLV.

Sijunzi decoction (SJZD) is a Chinese classical formula to treat spleen qi deficiency syndrome (SQDS) and has been widely used for thousands of years. However, the quality control (QC) standards of SJZD are insufficient. Chinmedomics has been designed to discover and verify bioactive compounds of a variety of formula rapidly. In this study, we used Chinmedomics to evaluate the SJZD's efficacy against SQDS to discover the potential quality-markers (q-markers) for QC. A total of 56 compounds in SJZD were characterized in vitro, and 23 compounds were discovered in vivo. A total of 58 biomarkers were related to SQDS, and SJZD can adjust a large proportion of marker metabolites to normal level and then regulate the metabolic profile to the health status. A total of 10 constituents were absorbed as effective ingredients that were associated with overall efficacy. We preliminarily determined malonyl-ginsenoside Rb2 and ginsenoside Ro as the q-markers of ginseng; dehydrotumulosic acid and dihydroxy lanostene-triene-21-acid as the q-markers of poria; glycyrrhizic acid, isoglabrolide, and glycyrrhetnic acid as the q-markers of licorice; and 2-atractylenolide as the q-marker of macrocephala. According to the discovery of the SJZD q-markers, we can establish the quality standard that is related to efficacy.
