Recently, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has been more frequently isolated from blood specimens than in the past. In this study we investigated a panel of therapeutic agents used to treat 37 patients with ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia. Antimicrobial agents administered as definitive therapy displayed higher efficacy rates than when empiric therapy was administered (efficacy rates, 95.7% vs. 62.5%). The success rate of carbapenem was 95.8% (23/24) in patients with ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia. In addition, the success rate of cefmetazole against ESBL-producing E. coli sensitive to this drug was 87.5% (7/8). In conclusion, patients at high risk of infection due to ESBL-producing E. coli should be empirically treated with carbapenem antibiotics. In addition, cefmetazole may be a treatment option for patients with ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia.

The criteria for palliative chemotherapy discontinuation have not been adequately systematized. We evaluated the relevance of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, prognostic nutritional index, modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), and clinicopathological factors as potential factors for chemotherapy discontinuation in patients with recurrent and unresectable pancreatic cancer.We retrospectively analyzed the data of 91 patients who received palliative chemotherapy for recurrent and unresectable pancreatic cancer at Hiroshima City Hospital between April 2014 and March 2018. Factors significantly related to chemotherapy discontinuation were extracted using Coxʼs proportional-hazard model, and a prognostic model was established by combining these factors.The median overall survival was 76 days. Multivariate analysis of the factors revealed that the mGPS (0/1-2) (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.053, P = 0.005), the presence of distant metastatic disease (HR = 2.605, P < 0.001), and the status of recurrent or initially unresectable disease (HR = 2.587, P = 0.013) were significantly associated with the discontinuation decision. One point was assigned to each of these three factors to create the prognostic model. A total score index of 0-3 was used to categorize three prognostic risk groups. The high-risk group (3 points) had a significantly lower overall survival than the low- (≤1 point) (P < 0.001) and intermediate-risk (2 points) groups (P < 0.001).Our study shows that mGPS and this prognostic model can help determine whether chemotherapy should be discontinued in patients with relapsed and unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Docetaxel is used to treat various types of carcinomas. Since docetaxel is insoluble in water (solubility, 0.002 mg/mL), to improve its solubility, it is administered with alcohol. The amount of alcohol required to improve the solubility of Onetaxotere® is twice as much as that required to improve the solubility of Taxotere®.In this study, we investigated the immediate breath alcohol level of and feeling of drunkenness experienced by patients after administration of chemotherapy with Onetaxotere®. The study was performed in 50 patients, from March 2012 to June 2012. In addition, 25 patients served as controls: these patients were administered chemotherapy with paclitaxel. Breath tests revealed no alcohol in any of the patients who were administered Onetaxotere®. Furthermore, none of these patients experienced a feeling of drunkenness. In contrast, breath tests performed in the control patients revealed alcohol in 15 cases, and 4 out of the 15 patients experienced a feeling of drunkenness.Breath tests revealed alcohol in 60.0% of the patients who were administered paclitaxel. The result is similar to those reported in other studies. No alcohol was detected in any of the patients who were administered Onetaxotere®. Moreover, these patients did not experience a feeling of drunkenness. These findings suggest that the patients who received Onetaxotere® were unaffected by the alcohol used to administer the drug.
