Objective To investigate the clinical value of ultrasound-guided catheterization in intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy for postoperative abdominal malignant tumor without ascites. Methods A retrospective analysis were performed in 146 postoperative patients with abdominal malignancies who were admitted to Fujian Cancer Hospital from April 2013 to September 2018, and there were no ascites founded in these patients before abdominal catheterization. Two hundred and seventy-nine times ultrasound-guided catheterization in intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy were performed under clinical guidance. Results Two hundred and seventy-seven times abdominal catheterization was completed, with a success rate of 99.3%(277/279), and the one-time success rate was 83.2%(232/279), 2 times (0.7%, 2/279) had to be abandoned for peritoneal adhesions. Fifty-three patients (36.3%, 53/146) underwent catheterization ≥ 2 times. The intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy was successfully completed after catheterization, no intestinal injury and bleeding occurred. Conclusions In the absence of ascites, ultrasound guided catheterization in perfusion chemotherapy is safe, reliable, simple, accurate and has a high success rate. This new approach is good for clinical application when the conventional catheterization with ascites is blocked.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for the formulation of primary medication regimen for antibacterial drug treatment of ICU patients with Escherichia coli infection. METHODS: Based on the surveillance report on E. coli resistance in hospitals issued by CHINET China bacterial drug resistance surveillance network in 2016, 19 third class A hospitals in China were collected as E. coli clinically isolated from ICU wards. Antibiotics with resistance rate of less than 40% to E. coli and with high utilization rate in clinical practice were selected as the research objects, and a simulated drug delivery scheme was formulated. Monte Carlo simulation method was used to simulate the clinical effect of different dosage regimens on 10 000 cases among “patients with E. coli infection” in ICU wards. The target thresholds were %fT>MIC>50% (piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam),%fT>MIC>40% (meropenem), fcmax/MIC>10 (amikacin). The cumulative response percentage (CFR) to the target threshold requires that CFR be greater than 90% for the optimal regimen. The results were compared with those of 275 clinical ICU pationts. RESULTS: Four antibiotics were identified, namely cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem and amikacin; sixteen medication regimen were simulated, including 1 kind of cefoperazone/sulbactam “3.0 g, q8 h”; 3 kinds of piperacillin/tazobactam “2.25 g, q6 h” “3.375 g, q8 h” and “3.375 g, q6 h”; 2 kinds of meropenem “0.5 g, q8 h” “1.0 g, q8 h”; 3 kinds of amikacin “0.4 g, q24 h” “0.6 g, q24 h” and “0.8 g, q24 h”. Their CFR values were higher than 90%, all of them could be regarded as primary medication regimen. The clinical results were basically consistent with the simulation results. CONCLUSIONS: Above medication regimen of piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam, meropenem and amikacin can be used as initial empirical drug selection for patients with E. coli infection in ICU.
