Objective:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacist in the treatment of patients with severe infection. Methods:Clinical pharmacist participated in the consultations for a patient with severe intracranial infection after craniocerebral operation in neurosurgery. According to the conditions of the patient and the results of antibiotic susceptive test,clinical pharmacist made an individualized medication for the patient,and the regimen included cefoperazone/ sulbactam,meropenem, vancomycin and Angong Niuhuang Wan. Results:The intracranial infection in the patient was improved gradually and controlled finally. Conclusion:Based on self professional knowledge,clinical pharmacist can participate in the clinical treatment of patients with severe infection,and assist doctors to develop treatment regimen in order to improve treatment effects. It will help clinical pharmacist preferably blend in clinical treatment team.

BACKGROUND:
The long-term stability for both the patient and periodontist remains an important priority after connective tissue graft to manage the gingival recession cases. The goal of this analysis was to assess and compare the connective tissue graft with Pouch/Tunnel technique versus connective tissue graft with coronally advanced tunnel flap for the treatment of maxillary recession cases in severe periodontitis.
METHODS:
The total sample size was comprised of 200 subjects. The control group, coronally advanced flap along with connective tissue graft (CTG) was comprised of 100 samples and test group, pouch/tunnel technique with connective tissue graft (POT + CTG) was also comprised of 100 samples. The clinical findings included medium root coverage (MRC) and absolute root (CRC) coverage, gingival (GT) distribution and keratinized tissue (KT) gain. Esthetic findings were also evaluated. All findings analyzed initially after 6th months and have been expanded to 4 years.
RESULTS:
There were no major variations between the MRC and CRC patient classes with non significant values. In the POT + CTG category, GT and KT improvements were slightly greater at 4 years, with a substantial improvement in texture in control group.
CONCLUSION
Pouch/Tunnel technique along with connective tissue graft allows for the clinical coverage of gingival recessions that is equivalent to Coronally advanced flap with CTG, however this may improves the gingival thickness, KT and esthetic performance.
