Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2017;24(21):3346-3348
In order to understand the clinical research progress of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors,the author reviewed the related research and literature report.It considers that cetuximab is mainly used for colorectal cancer without KRAS gene mutations,and trastuzumab is mainly used for breast cancer and gastric cancer with over expression of HER-2,and gefitinib and icotinib is mainly used for non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR gene mutations.The above points of view can provide reference for the clinical application of these drugs.

OBJECTIVE: To probe the role of clinical pharmacists in drug use of patients with severe pneumonia. METHODS: Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment for a patient with ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae severe pneumonia. The patient was given cefoperazone tazobactam combined with moxifloxacin and ganciclovir initially. Clinical pharmacists suggested stopping cefoperazone tazobactam and moxifloxacin and additionally using meropenem according to the elevation of hemogram infection indexes; suggested stopping ganciclovir and continuously using meropenem according to the results of sputum culture; suggested providing cefoperazone sulbactam de-escalation sequential therapy for ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and stopping cefoperazone sulbactam and azithromycin according to clinical symptoms of the patient. RESULTS: The physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. After treatment, body temperature and lab indexes of the patient recovered to normal; the result of sputum culture turned to negative. Chest CT showed that the infection focus was obviously absorbed compared to before. After discharged from hospital and followed up, the patient was found to have a good prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Through actively participating in drug therapy, based on lab indexes and results of sputum culture, clinical pharmacists provide pharmaceutical care and adjust medication plan to improve treatment rate of patients with severe pneumonia and the safety and effectiveness of drug treatment, be of great significance to promote the rational use of antibiotics.

Objective:
To investigate the status of knowledge about acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) among college freshmen in Jiangsu Province, and to analyze the influences of AIDS-related knowledge on their sexual attitudes and behaviors.
Methods:
A total of 8 633 freshmen from 20 colleges and universities in Jiangsu Province were enrolled by multi-stage stratified sampling. The questionnaire for young students about the eight items of AIDS basic knowledge were used to investigate the AIDS-related knowledge, sexual attitudes and behaviors. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the AIDS-related knowledge and to adjust the influences of AIDS-related knowledge on sexual attitudes and behaviors.
Results:
The overall qualified rate of AIDS-related knowledge among college freshmen in Jiangsu Province was 87.6% and the qualified rate of 8 items were between 59.8% and 98.3%. The types of schools, nationality, mother s education level and whether only child or not were identified as independent factors for qualified rate of AIDS-related knowledge(P<0.05). The awareness of AIDS-related knowledge had significant impacts on the sexual attitudes and behaviors of college freshmen. Students with insufficient knowledge were more likely to approve premarital sexual behaviors(OR=1.31, 95%CI=1.11-1.63), willing to use condoms consistently(OR=1.67, 95%CI=1.43-1.92) and to accept the HIV tests(OR=4.54, 95%CI=3.13-6.52). Students with unqualified knowledge were more likely to have sexual behavior(OR=1.89, 95%CI=1.42-2.49), while those with sexual experiences and insufficient AIDS knowledge were more likely to use condoms consistently(OR=2.13, 95%CI=1.22-3.78).
Conclusion
The education on AIDS-related knowledge for teenagers was helpful to construct correct sexual concepts and develop healthy sexual behaviors. However, the AIDS-related knowledge of college freshmen in Jiangsu Province is not sufficient and needed to improve.
