ABSTRACT
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has triggered a huge impact on healthcare, socioeconomics, and other aspects of the world over the past three years. An increasing number of studies have identified a complex relationship between COVID-19 and stroke, although active measures are being implemented to prevent disease transmission. Severe COVID-19 may be associated with an increased risk of stroke and increase the rates of disability and mortality, posing a serious challenge to acute stroke diagnosis, treatment, and care. This review aims to provide an update on the influence of COVID-19 itself or vaccines on stroke, including arterial stroke (ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke) and venous stroke (cerebral venous thrombosis). Additionally, the neurovascular mechanisms involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection and the clinical characteristics of stroke in the COVID-19 setting are presented. Evidence on vaccinations, potential therapeutic approaches, and effective strategies for stroke management has been highlighted.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of TCM injection in the clinic. METHODS:In retrospective survey,the application of TCM injections in 3 hospitals from Changshu area during 2013-2015 were analyzed statistically in re-spects of consumption sum,annual growth rate,constituent ratio,DDDs,B/A,DDC,etc. RESULTS:During 2013-2015,in the sample hospitals,consumption sum of TCM injections in 2014 and 2015 declined by 5.27% and 15.92%,compared with last year. The proportion of consumption sum of TCM injections in total consumption sum were 4.40% in 2013,3.86% in 2014 and 3.13%in 2015. Top 3 TCM injections in the list of consumption sum and DDDs were blood activating and stasis eliminating drugs,the re-suscitation and reviving yang first aid class drugs and tonic drugs. The top single types in the list of consumption sum were Xing-naojing injection,Shuxuetong injection,Xuebijing injection,Shenmai injection and Xue shuantong for injection;the top single types in the list of DDDs were Shenmai injection,Reduning injection,Shuxuetong for injection,etc. B/A of Shenmai injection and Reduning injection were higher,while DDC of Xuebijing injection was the highest. CONCLUSIONS:The utilization of TCM injec-tion is basically reasonable,and shows decreasing tendency in sample hospitals,but great importance should be attached to the safe-ty and effectiveness of TCM injections and reasonable choice.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To analysis the distribution and antibiotic resistance of common isolated pathogenic bacteria in urinary-tract infection cases in our hospital so as to provide scientific basis for the rational clinical use of antibacterials.MET-HODS:625 urine samples were collected from urinary-tract infection cases in our hospital in 2006,from which,344 strains of bacteria were isolated,which were cultured and subjected to drug sensitivity test.RESULTS:Of the 344 strains of bacteria,Gram-negative bacilli took the lead,accounting for 60.2% of the total,followed by Gram-positive cocci(33.4%) and fungi(6.4%).The detection rates of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli.and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 49.2% and 27.3%,respectively.The bacteria had different resistant rate to different antibiotics and were multidrug resistant.CONCLUSION:Bacterial culture of urine and drug-sensitivity test should be performed promptly and drugs should be used with prudence for urinary infection cases to reduce drug-resistance bacteria.
