    As a traditional Chinese medicine, cortex magnoliae officinalis has the effect of tonifying the stomach and intestines, such as promoting gastric emptying, contracting gastric smooth muscle, protecting gastric mucosa and preventing ulcer. The effect of promoting gastric emptying may be related to the inhibition of nitric oxide pathway and the regulation of secretion of motilin and gastrin, while the effect of contracting gastric smooth muscle may be achieved by increasing proliferation of Cajal interstitial cells and enhancing gastric electrical activity. This paper summarizes the protective effect of traditional Chinese medicine cortex magnoliae officinalis on stomach and its pharmacological mechanism, and analyzes related studies.

    Neuraminidase (NA) is one of important targets of anti-influenza drugs. The marketed neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) are all sialic acid derivatives with good activity, but have the disadvantages of many chiral centers in the structure and complicated synthesis. Virus mutations prompt people to develop new anti-influenza drugs. In recent years, many non-sialic acid NAIs have been discovered, either on the basis of pharmacophore or serendipitous discovery, or natural product development or virtual screening. In addition, the application of new technologies such as molecular blotting and network pharmacology has facilitated the research and development of new NAIs type anti-influenza drugs. This paper summarizes newly discovered non-sialic acid new NAIs and their development technologies, and analyzes related studies.

    Objective: To analyze clinical use of vancomycin in patients of orthopedics department in a hospital, and to provide reference for the rational clinical use of vancomycin in the department. Methods: 41 patients who were admitted to the orthopedics department of Sihong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and treated with vancomycin from November 2018 to November 2020 were sellected as study subjects, and the gender and age distribution, pathogenic bacteria detection, vancomycin use and monitoring, and types of reasons for irrational drug use of the patients were analyzed. Results: Among 41 patients treated with vancomycin, there were more males than females (56.10% vs. 43.90%), more patients greater than 60-80 years old (21.95%) and fewer patients greater than 10-20 years old (12.20%), but the gender and age were generally distributed in balance. 35 of 41 patients had pathogenic bacteria culture, and 35 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in total. Among them, the main strains were Staphylococcus aureus (10 strains, accounting for 28.57%), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (7 strains, accounting for 20.00%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (5 strains, accounting for 14.29%). Regarding the use and monitoring of vancomycin, the drug was mainly for treatment (36 cases, accounting for 87.80%), the daily dose was mainly less than 2 g (24 cases, accounting for 58.54%), and the duration of the drug mainly was shorter than 1 week (24 cases, accounting for 58.54%). The drug was mainly administrated in mode of intravenous drip (38 cases, accounting for 92.68%), most of the patients were combined with other antibacterial drugs (31 cases, accounting for 75.61%), most of them were cured or improved after treatment with adverse drug reactions (all 36 cases, accounting for 87.80%), and most had blood concentration monitored (33 cases, accounting for 80.49%) and renal function monitored (29 cases, accounting for 70.73%). 24 of 41 patients had unreasonable use of vancomycin, as predominant cases of excessive liquid concentration (10 cases, accounting for 41.67%) and short drug administration (5 cases, accounting for 20.83%). Conclusion: Patients treated with vancomycin in the hospital have a high pathogenic detection rate, and blood concentration monitoring and renal function monitoring are commonly carried out, with good prognosis after treatment and fewer adverse reactions. However, irrational drug use is more serious, and hospitals should strengthen the standardized management of vancomycin to improve the rational clinical use level of vancomycin.

    Objective: To analyze clinical features and bacterial resistance of patients with Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) infection in a hospital, and to provide reference for clinical treatment of such patients. Methods: Patients with SA infection (n=151) and CNS infection (n=130) admitted to the Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from October 2019 to September 2020 were collected as study subjects, and the underlying diseases, departmental distribution and source of specimens, as well as pathogenic characteristics of SA and CNS were analyzed. Results: The majority of patients with SA infection and CNS infection had certain underlying diseases, mainly as malignant tumor, diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. The patients with SA infection were mainly distributed in oncology department (28 cases, accounting for 18.54%), burns department (17 cases, accounting for 11.26%), ICU (16 cases, accounting for 10.60%), nephrology department (16 cases, accounting for 10.60%) and infection department (14 cases, accounting for 9.27%). The patients with CNS infection were mainly found in orthopedics department (24 cases, accounting for 18.46%), urology department (21 cases, accounting for 16.15%), nephrology department (13 cases, accounting for 10.00%) and oncology department (11 cases, accounting for 8.46%). SA was mainly detected in sputum (35 cases, accounting for 23.18%), blood (21 cases, accounting for 13.91%) and urine (11 cases, accounting for 7.28%), while CNS was mainly detected in urine (35 cases, accounting for 26.92%), blood (33 cases, accounting for 25.38%) and ascites (11 cases, accounting for 8.46%). Pathogenic findings showed that Staphylococcus epidermidis (67 cases, accounting for 51.54%) and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (24 cases, accounting for 18.46%) were mostly detected in CNS. The results of drug susceptibility test showed that the resistance rates of SA and CNS to vancomycin, tigecycline, linezolid, and quinupristin/dalfopristin were 0.00%, while the resistance rates to gentamicin, moxifloxacin, tetracycline, clindamycin and rifampicin were also low (less than 30.00%). The resistance rate of methicillin-resistant SA to penicillin-G, oxacillin, tetracycline, erythrocin, clindamycin and cefoxitin was significantly higher than that of methicillin-sensitive SA (P<0.05). Compared with oxacillin-resistant SA, oxacillin-resistant CNS had a higher resistance rate to moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and compound sulfamethoxazole (P<0.05), and a lower resistance rate to tetracycline and erythromycin (P<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with SA infection and CNS infection in the hospital have similar underlying diseases, but are distributed in different departments with different sources of specimens. In addition, SA and CNS have much common in overall drug resistance characteristics, but there are more differences between methicillin-resistant SA and CNS. In clinical treatment of SA infection and CNS infection, the pathogenic species and their drug resistance characteristics should be clarified as far as possible to achieve better therapeutic effects.

    Objective: To analyze pathogenic characteristics and risk factors of patients with cerebral infarction complicated by hospital infection in a hospital, and to provide reference for prevention and treatment of hospital infection of clinical patients with cerebral infarction. Methods: 392 patients with cerebral infarction admitted to Taikang County People's Hospital from May 2018 to January 2022 were selected as study subjects and divided into an infection group (n=128) and a non-infection group (n=264) according to complication of hospital infection, and the distribution and drug resistance characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in patients with cerebral infarction complicated by hospital infection as well as the risk factors for infection were analyzed. Results: A total of 214 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in specimens of 128 patients complicated by hospital infection, including 142 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (accounting for 66.36%, mainly Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae), 54 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (accounting for 25.23%, mainly Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and 18 strains of fungi (accounting for 8.41%). The drug susceptibility test showed that the resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae to meropenem and imipenem were low (less than 10.00%), and the resistance rates to other antibacterial drugs varied, the resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus to cefepime, amikacin and vancomycin was low (less than 5.00%), and the resistance rate of Staphylococcus epidermidis only to vancomycin was low (less than 5.00%). The regression analysis showed that concurrent hospital infection in patients with cerebral infarction was related to age, smoking history, length of stay, invasive operation, disturbance of consciousness, combined diabetes mellitus, and combined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease etc. (P<0.05), with age greater than or equal to 60 years old, smoking history, length of stay longer than or equal to 30 d, invasive operation, disturbance of consciousness, combined diabetes mellitus, and combined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as independent risk factors for concurrent hospital infection (P<0.05). Conclusion: The pathogenic bacteria in patients with cerebral infarction complicated by hospital infection are mainly Gram-negative bacteria, and the detected pathogenic bacteria are generally highly drug-resistant. In addition, concurrent hospital infection in patients is closely related to factors such as age, smoking history, length of stay, invasive operation, disturbance of consciousness, combined diabetes mellitus and combined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, so special care should be taken to special patients in clinical care and monitoring to detect and treat infections as early as possible.

    Objective: To analyze pathogenic characteristics and influencing factors of infection with multidrug-resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae (MDR-KP) in lower respiratory tract of elderly patients in ICU, and to provide reference for prevention and treatment on clinical MDR-KP infections. Methods: 98 elderly patients with Klebsiella Pneumoniae (KP) infection in lower respiratory tract, admitted to ICU of the hospital from March 2020 to October 2021, were selected as study subjects, and were divided into an MDR-KP infection group (n=54) and a non-MDR-KP infection group (n=44) according to whether KP was MDR-KP, and pathogenic characteristics and influencing factors of MDR-KP infection of the patients were counted and analyzed. Results: The drug susceptibility test showed that MDR-KP only had a low resistance rate (less than 10.00%) to minocycline, a relatively low resistance rate (25.00%-40.00%) to amikacin and imipenem, and a high resistance rate (greater than 90.00%) to aztreonam, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime and cefoperazone. The single factor results showed that MDR-KP infection of elderly patients in ICU was related to factors such as blood glucose, time of ICU admission, timing of ventilator use, and use of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs (e.g., 3rd generation cephalosporins, and carbapenems)(P<0.05), with time of ICU admission longer than or equal to 7 d, ventilator use, and time of ventilator use longer than or equal to 7 d as independent risk factors of MDR-KP infection in patients (P<0.05). Conclusion: MDR-KP infection of elderly patients in ICU is closely related to time of ICU admission, ventilator use, and time of ventilator use, and MDR-KP has strong drug resistance, making it very difficult for treatment once infected, so high-risk patients should be more intensively managed clinically to avoid or reduce bacterial drug resistance.

    Objective: To analyze clinical characteristics and occurrence mechanism of polymyxin B-induced neurotoxic adverse reactions, and to provide reference for safe and rational use of polymyxin B. Methods: 17 cases of polymyxin B-induced neurotoxic adverse reactions occurred in real work and retrieved from authoritative databases at home and abroad were selected as study subjects, and clinical characteristics and occurrence mechanism of these adverse reactions were analyzed. Results: Neurotoxic adverse reactions in 17 cases occurred within 30 d of polymyxin B administration, of which 11 cases occurred in the day of administration. Neurotoxic adverse reactions have major clinical manifestations of abnormal peripheral sensation, respiratory distress, cardiac arrest, coma, dizziness, epileptic seizure and rhabdomyolysis, etc. For the adverse reactions, after symptomatic treatment (7 cases), drug withdrawal (4 cases) and adjustment of treatment regimen (6 cases), symptoms relieved or disappeared in 14 patients, and 3 cases ended in death. Conclusion: Polymyxin B-induced neurotoxic adverse reaction may cause relatively serious consequences, and its occurrence mechanism may be related to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory response, etc., while drug combination, dose, drug concentration and infusion speed during the drug use may induce the reaction, so polymyxin B should be normatively and rationally used clinically to avoid or reduce adverse reactions.
