ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical application and trend of antitumor drugs in 42 hospitals from Beijing,Shang-hai and Chengdu,and to provide reference for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS:The utilization of antitumor drugs in 42 hos-pitals from Beijing,Shanghai and Chengdu during 2012-2016 was analyzed statistically in respects of consumption sum,DDDs. RESULTS:The consumption sum of antitumor drugs in 3 cities,Beijing ranked the first;annual growth rate of Shanghai was the highest. In the list of consumption sum of antitumor drugs of 3 cities in 5 years,immunosuppressive agents as tacrolimus,mycophe-nolate mofetil were among top 10 antitumor drugs in the list of consumption sum. Top 1 antitumor drug in the list of consumption sum in Beijing,Shanghai and Chengdu were thymopentin,tacrolimus and thymalfasin,respectively. Among subtype of antitumor drugs,other antitumor drugs and adjuvant drugs in Beijing and Chengdu during 2012-2014 took up the first place in the list of con-sumption sum;the consumption sum of antimetabolite during 2015-2016 occupied the first place,and that of Beijing was higher than that of Chengdu. The cost of antimetabolite in Shanghai during 2012-2016 was the highest. The consumption sum of other antitumor drugs and adjuvant drugs were the highest in 3 cities during 2012-2014;that of antimetabolite was the highest during 2015-2016. Among related drugs,immune enhancer,immunosuppressive agents and analgesics ranked the top in the list of consumption sum. Among top 10 antitumor drugs in the list of DDDs,most were antineoplastic medicine,and only cyclophosphamide among alkylat-ing agents entered the ranking. CONCLUSIONS:The growing trend of antitumor concumption sum is stable. Antimetabolite,hor-mones and plant-derived antitumor are becoming larger. Molecular targeted therapies have a good prospect for application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the risk factors of measles among babies under 8-months-old and people ≥15 years old,in Gansu province. Methods Laboratory-confirmed measles cases were divided into two groups among children below 8-months-old and those≥15 year olds. Descriptive epidemiology and 1∶3 case control study were conducted to find out those related risk factors as:hospital exposure,contact with measles cases,vaccination,history of measles etc. so as to determine the risk factors and appropriate control measures. Results Histories of hospital exposure,contact with measles cases and travelling to other cities were risk factors for measles among babies younger than 8-months and people≥15 year olds. Vaccination appeared a protective factor for people ≥15 years of age. From 42 cases and 126 controls,through multivariate analysis,results showed that hospital exposure was the only significant factor(OR=29.23,95%CI:2.82-302.89)for those babies younger than 8-months. Factors as hospital exposure and travelling among cities for 7-21 days before being infected,were with significant importance(OR=5.15,95%CI:2.28-11.63;OR=5.48,95%CI:1.38-21.69)for people ≥15 years of age,according to the observation from 74 cases and 222 controls. Conclusion In order to reduce the incidence of measles among babies under 8-month-old and people ≥15 years old, efforts on control of nosocomial infection should be strengthened,while the routine immunization coverage need to be increased for the children at higher risks,to reduce the source of infection.
