Objective To explore the drug selection, usage, dosage and effect of clinical pharmacists in the treatment of secondary Candida bloodstream infection in patients with digestive tract perforation, and provide reference for rational clinical use of such anti-infection therapy. Methods During the treatment of Candida infection, anti-infection specialist clinical pharmacists suggested replacing fluconazole for anti-infection treatment, and adjusted the usage and dosage of caspofungin to ensure the application of full treatment course. Results The patient’s Candida bloodstream infection was effectively controlled. Conclusion Echininocandins such as caspofungin are the first choice for Candida infection. The maintenance dose should be reduced to 35 mg qd in patient with moderate liver function injury, and the anti-infection treatment should be done at least 14 days after the blood culture being negative. Clinical pharmacists participate in clinical pharmaceutical care practices such as clinical ward rounds, and actively assist doctors to develop individualized anti-infection programs, which could improve the level of clinical drug use and the clinical outcome of diseases.

Objective :
To investigate the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and the clinical prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) , and to provide a genetic basis for early identification of critically
ill patients.
Methods :
A total of fourteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the VDR gene were detected in 508 AP patients by using improved ligase detection reaction (imLDR) technology. Unconditional Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association of VDR gene polymorphisms with outcome ( sepsis/severe AP/death) of AP patients after adjusting for age , sex , body mass index(BMI) , smoking and drinking status and APACHE II score under different genetic models.
Results :
Rs12721375 GA/AA genotype had a lower risk of sepsis than GG (P = 0. 02) and the A allele had a lower risk of sepsis than G (P = 0. 009) . Rs2853559 GA and GA/AA had higher risks of sepsis than GG (P = 0. 022 and 0. 026 respectively) . Rs11168287 AA had a higher risk of severe AP than GG and GG/GA (P = 0. 030 and 0. 022 respectively) . Rs2853559 AA genotype had a higher risk of severe AP than GG and GG/GA ( P = 0. 022 and 0. 021 respectively) . The risk of death of rs11168283 CT/TT genotype was lower than that of CC (P = 0. 046) .
Conclusion
VDR gene polymorphisms are related to the clinical outcome of AP patients in Chinese Han population. VDR gene is involved in the progression of AP.

Objective:To investigate the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) combined with low temperature plasma (LTP) on mouse liver cancer cell.Methods:H22 mouse liver cancer cells were divided into liver cancer group, PEF treatment group, LTP treatment group, combined group A (first PEF treatment immediately after LTP treatment), combined group B (first LTP treatment immediately after PEF treatment), combined group C (same as combined group A, but 20 minutes interval) and combined group D (same as combined group B, but 20 minutes interval). Cell viability was detected by cell counting, apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, intracellular reative oxygen species (ROS) was marked by fluorescence and counted. Twenty healthy female Kunming mouse aged 4-6 weeks without specific pathogens were subcutaneous injected with liver cancer cells, and then were randomly divided into model group, PBS control group, PEF experimental group, LTP experimental group and combined group (LTP+ PEF, no interval) ( n=4). Tumor relative volume and tumor inhibition rate were measured. Results:The survival rates were liver cancer cell group (98.3±0.9)%, PEF treatment group (66.8±4.4)%, LTP treatment group (62.1±3.9)%, combined group A (43.7±3.7)%, combined group B (31.0±1.4)%, combined group C (46.8±2.9)%, combined group D (39.0±2.3)%. Compared with liver cancer cell group, the cell survival rate of all treatment groups was decreased, and the cell survival rate of the four combined treatment group was lower than that of PEF treatment group and LTP treatment group, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The survival rate of combined B group was the lowest. The results of apoptosis detection were consistent with those of cell survival rate. Under fluorescence microscope, the ROS fluorescence of cells in the combined group B was significantly increased, and the ROS fluorescence of cells in the LTP treatment group was more than that in the PEF treatment group, and the percentage of ROS positive cells in the combined group B was higher than that in the LTP treatment group and the PEF treatment group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Tumor relative volume and tumor inhibition rate in the combined group were better than those in the PEF and LTP groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:LTP combined with PEF has a better killing effect on H22 cells than PEF or LTP treatment, which is expected to be a new tumor therapy.
