China Pharmacy 2015;(27):3806-3808
OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy of Live combined bacillus subtilis and enterococcus faecium in the prevention and treatment of Antibiotic associated diarrhea(AAD),and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from CBM,CJFD and Wanfang database,randomized controlled trials (RCT)of Live combined bacillus subtilis and enterococcus faecium(test group)versus placebo(control group)in the prevention and treatment of AAD. After data ex-tract and quality evaluation,systematical evaluation was performed by using Rev Man 5.0 statistics software. RESULTS:A total of 21 RCT were included,involving 3 881 patients. According to the purpose of different purpose of druguse,the RCT were divided into prevention group and treatment group. Results of Meta-analysis showed the incidence of diarrhea in prevention test group was significantly lower than control group[OR=0.27 ,95% CI(0.22 ,0.32),P<0.001] ,the average hospitalization time in prevention test group was significantly less than control group [MD=-53.19,95%CI(-79.63,-26.75),P<0.001],and the total clinical ef-fective rate in treatment test group was significantly higher than control group[OR=6.76,95%CI(4.16,10.98),P<0.001]. CON-CLUSIONS:The efficacy of Live combined bacillus subtilis and enterococcus faecium are good in the prevention and treatment of AAD. However,due to the limit of methodological quality and sample size,it remains to be further verified with more rigorously designed and long-term follow-up of large-scale RCT.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of a series of ovarian metastases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.Methods:Data of clinical manifestation, pathological characteristic, treatment and follow-up result from ten patients with ovarian metastases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The median age of onset was 46 years (38~79 years). The primary tumors were located in the body and tail of the pancreas in 8 cases. Bilateral ovarian metastasis occurred in 8 patients at the time of diagnosis. The median time from patients with clinical symptom to ovarian metastases was 2.5 months (0~12 months). Peritoneal metastasis was found in all of 10 cases. Nine cases were accompanied by CA125 elevation. The major features of metastatic carcinoma in the ovary were cystic-solid appearance (8 cases) and mucinous adenocarcinoma (6 cases) with no obvious immunohistochemical features in pathological observation. All patients underwent palliative ovariectomy at onset, and one patient underwent primary tumor resection simultaneously. Seven patients received chemotherapy. The median survival time of the 10 patients was 10.3 months.Conclusions:Ovarian metastases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are easily misdiagnosed. The final diagnosis depends on clinical manifestations, imaging and histopathological observation. Ovariectomy may be associated with better outcome.
