ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( 18F-FDG) PET-CT metabolic parameters for the recurrence of type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). Methods:Eighty-six patients with type 1 AIP who met the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria (ICDC) and underwent 18F-FDG PET-CT before interventional treatment at the PLA General Hospital between May 2009 and June 2021 were included and divided into recurrence group ( n=43) and no-recurrence group ( n=43) according to whether they recurred after treatment. The standard uptake value (SUV)≥2.5 fixed threshold was used to outline the pancreatic lesion volume of interest (VOI) in three dimensions, and the three-dimensional diameter of the lesion, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean), peak standardized uptake value (SUVpeak), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), target-to-bench ratio (TBR) and standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) were measured to compare the clinical characteristics, biochemical indices and treatment of the two groups; univariate and multifactorial regression analysis were used to examine 18F-FDG PET/CT visual indices of pancreatic lesions and extra-pancreatic involved organs as well as metabolic parameters in the two groups. A recurrence prediction model was constructed and its predictive efficacy was assessed. Results:The proportion of patients receiving glucocorticoid maintenance therapy was significantly higher in the no-recurrence group than in the recurrence group (58% vs 23.3%), and the serum IgG4 levels before treatment were significantly higher in the recurrence group [(15 309±11 724) mg/L vs (8 816±7 169) mg/L]. The results of univariate analysis showed that the proportion of extra-pancreatic salivary gland involvement and VOI, SUVmax, SUVpeak, SUVR, TBR, MTV, and TLG were significantly higher in the recurrence group than in the no-recurrence group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P values <0.05); the results of multivariate analysis showed that VOI ( OR=1.012, 95% CI 1.001-1.023 ), SUV max ( OR=1.398, 95% CI 1.029-1.899), SUV peak ( OR=1.408, 95% CI1.002-1.978), SUVR ( OR=1.977, 95% CI1.036-3.771) and MTV ( OR=1.012, 95% CI1.000- 1.022) in the recurrence group were significantly higher than those in the no-recurrence group, and all differences were statistically significant (all P values <0.05). The prediction model was constructed by multifactorial binary logistic regression analysis of SUVR>2, MTV>36 cm 3, and IgG4>11 400 mg/L, which had an AUC of 0.800 (95% CI 0.704-0.897), sensitivity of 81.4% (95% CI 0.661-0.911), specificity of 74.4% (95% CI 0.585-0.860), and prediction accuracy of 77.9%. Conclusions:18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters can be used as predictors of type 1 AIP recurrence; a multiparameter model constructed based on metabolic parameters SUVR, MTV and IgG4 has a good predictive efficacy for predicting type 1 AIP recurrence.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the trauma severity and the usage of antibacterial drugs and to provide reference for standard protocol of proper antibiotic use in wound care.Methods ICD-10 and AIS were used to set up the relationship and to analyze the use of antibiotics in patients with different trauma score.Results 25 035 trauma patients were enrolled in this study.Those patients were divided into five groups according to the AIS score with least severe as group 1 to most severe as group 5.The patient percentage in group 1 to 5 was 21.92％,67.73％,8.86％,0.97％ and 0.52％ respectively.The five most frequently used antibiotic classes are second generation cephalosporins,third generation cephalosporins,first generation cephalosporins,fluoroquinolones and penicillin/beta lactamase inhibitor combination, accounted for 29.69％,22.57％,20.33％,4.66％ and 4.47％ of total DDDs of antibacterial drugs.Individually, the top 10 antibiotics are cefuroxime (12.21％), cefazolin (8.31％), ceftriaxone (7.74％), cefathiamidine (7.34％), cefotiam (4.87％), ceftazidime (3.68％), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (3.63％), levofloxacin (3.59％), cefoxitin (3.56％), flucloxacillin (3.52％);gentamicin (2.27％), ornidazole (2.00％) and cefoperazone/tazobactam (1.44％) were used most in their categories respectively.The variety and quantity of antibacterial drugs used for different trauma patients were different.Conclusion The trauma score based on ICD-AIS can reflect the severity of trauma.The use of antibiotics in patients with different trauma score can provide reference for the clinical applications of antibiotics in wound care.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the co-prescribing patterns of antibacterials between clinic and ER in a tertiary hospi-tal and mine the association rules among drugs in outpatient and emergency prescriptions .Methods The prescribing data of 2009 were sampled and the prescription drugs were classified according to the anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) subgroup code .IBM PASW ○R Modeler 14 was used for data processing and statistics ,and the Apriori association analysis model was es-tablished to carry out data mining .Results There were differences between outpatient and emergency prescriptions with anti-microbial in average number of drug items and antibacterials items ,as well as in the distribution of patient age and gender .Ex-pectorants ,cough suppressants and prepared Chinese medicine for “Qing Re Jie Du” played dominant roles in the associations with cephalosporin in outpatient prescription .More association rules in emergency prescriptions were found which were more complicated .The associations between antibacterials and vitamins ,digestive ulcer drugs ,and potassium agents ,as well as an-tibacterial and antibacterials were not found in the outpatient prescriptions .Conclusion The use of antibacterials in the emer-gency is much more frequently than in the clinic ,especially for the inject-able formulations and the combination of antibacteri-als .So it is more necessary to establish a standard for rational use of antibacterials in ER .

ABSTRACT
To study the status and patterns of the drug utilization in the diseases of lower respiratory tract, the drug utilization for 290 inpatients with respiratory tract diseases in a Shanghai hospital druing 1993-1997 was analyzed by using Acute Physiology, Age, Chronic Health Evaluation(APACHE) and index of defined daily dose numbers(DDDs). The relativity between APACHE and DDDs was studied. It was found that most common drugs was anti-infection agents and expectorants, accounting for 39.06% and 38.38 %, respectively. The quantitative relationship between drug consumption and disease severity was not observed. It is concluded that the status of the drug utilization can't be demonstrated by analyzing the frequency of drug use by using DDDs.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the trend of hospital preparations in the future METHODS:The developing history of and the main factors influencing hospital preparations were analyzed by literature review RESULTS & CONCLUSION:The trend of hospital preparations depends on the role and task of the hospital pharmacy The development of hospital preparations may have three possibilities:being repealed;being reduced;and being maintained the current situation It is not optimistic for the future of hospital preparations from the view of hospital pharmacy
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the properties and behavior of dynamics in the tactical reserve models of medicine supplies. Methods: A tactical reserve model of medicine supplies was established with methods of systematic dynamics, and the behaviors of the system was simulated by computer program when parameters changed. Results:The quantity of initial reserve did not obviously effect the average inventory and amount of goods in short. However, objective reserve, rate of supply and rate of deliver evidently affected average inventory and amount of goods in short. Conclusion: The system efficiency is not influenced if the rate of supply is guaranteed.
