Perioperative prophylaxis for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: randomized study concerning the drug and dosage.
To compare sulbactam-ampicillin and cefuroxime antibiotics for prophylaxis of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and to find out the optimal regimen for antibiotic maintenance to prevent systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).. Between February 2010 and March 2011, a total of 198 patients in whom PCNL was performed were prospectively randomized into two main groups regarding the type of prophylactic antibiotic (group1: sulbactam-ampicillin, group 2: cefuroxime). Each group was further randomized according to duration of antibiotic maintenance (a: single dose prophylaxis, b: additional dose 12 hours after prophylaxis, c: beginning with prophylactic dose until the nephrostomy tube removal). Seven patients in whom purulent urine was obtained through the access needle were excluded from the study. Groups were compared in terms of stone- and operation-related factors as well as preoperative urine cultures, access cultures, stone cultures, postoperative urine cultures, and presence of SIRS.. A total of 191 patients (group 1: 95, group 2: 96) were evaluated. Mean patient age, body mass index, stone size, and perioperative outcomes were similar. Positive culture rates did not differ between groups. SIRS was observed in 13 (43.3%) patients in group 1 and 17 patients (56.7%) in group 2 (P=0.44). The relation between duration of antibiotic maintenance and SIRS development was not different in each group (P=0.95 for group 1, P: 0.39 for group 2). Urosepsis was observed in two patients, and one patient died because of septic shock.. Sulbactam-ampicillin and cefuroxime antibiotics can be used safely for prophylaxis of PCNL. Single dose administration is sufficient.

Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in renal transplantation: a single-center comparison between two regimens and a brief survey among the Eurotransplant renal transplantation centers.
Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) is an integral part of kidney transplantation to prevent surgical site infections (SSI). In July 2015, we changed our standard from a multiple-dose to a single-dose (SD) prophylaxis. Here, we report on results with both regimens and a related survey among Eurotransplant renal transplantation centers.. From July 2015, all kidney graft recipients of our center were scheduled to receive SD i.v. cefazolin (group SD, n = 107). They were compared to patients, transplanted since January 2014, receiving our previous standard (i.v. piperacillin/flucloxacillin) until postoperative day (POD) 7, plus oral sultamicillin until POD 10 (group MD, n = 105). The primary endpoint was the number of SSIs during a 3-month observational period.. The frequency of SSI episodes was generally low (group SD vs. MD: 2 vs. 4, p = 0.40). Of note, urinary tract infections occurred in 40 SD vs. 36 MD patients, respectively (p = 0.60). Urinary tract infections were caused by Escherichia coli in 36.8%. Female gender was the only independent risk factor on multivariate analysis (p = 0.002). In addition, 12 episodes of urosepsis in both groups occurred. All-cause infection with multi-resistant bacteria occurred less frequently in SD vs. MD patients (3.7% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.16). A majority of Eurotransplant centers used i.v. single-dose cephalosporins (36.9%), although substances and duration varied remarkably.. Single-dose cefazolin was equally effective and less expensive compared to our previous MD regimen. Based on these findings, we conclude that future prospective studies should be designed to confirm the non-inferiority of single-dose antibiotic regimens.

Pharmacokinetics of Prophylactic Ampicillin-Sulbactam and Dosing Optimization in Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
Antibiotic concentrations must be maintained at an adequate level throughout cardiovascular surgery to prevent surgical site infection. This study aimed to determine the most appropriate timing for intraoperative repeated dosing of ampicillin-sulbactam, a commonly used antibiotic prophylaxis regimen, to maintain adequate concentrations throughout the course of cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The total plasma concentrations of ampicillin were monitored in 8 patients after ampicillin (1 g)-sulbactam (0.5 g) administration via initial intravenous infusion and subsequent CPB priming. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated and used to predict the free plasma concentrations of ampicillin. The mean values for the volume of distribution, elimination rate constant, elimination half-life, and total clearance of ampicillin were 15.8±4.1 L, 0.505±0.186 h(-1), 1.52±0.47 h, and 7.72±2.72 L/h, respectively. When ampicillin (1 g)-sulbactam (0.5 g) was intravenously administered every 3, 4, 6, and 12 h after the start of CPB, the predicted free trough plasma concentrations of ampicillin were 15.20, 8.25, 2.74, and 0.13 µg/mL, respectively. Therefore, an every-6-h regimen was needed to maintain the free ampicillin concentration at more than 2 µg/mL during cardiovascular surgery with CPB. We suggest that the dose and dosing interval for ampicillin-sulbactam should be adjusted to optimize the efficacy and safety of treatment, according to the minimum inhibitory concentrations for methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus isolates at each institution..

An uncommon late complication of appendicitis.
A 10-year-old boy presented with a 2.5-week history of right leg pain and limp. A right flank mass was noted by a parent on the day of presentation. The child's past medical history was remarkable for perforated appendicitis treated with an interval laparoscopic appendectomy 2 years before this presentation. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography revealed a retroperitoneal mass with calcifications, suggestive of a retained appendicolith with abscess formation. This case illustrates the importance of considering very late complications of appendicitis in patients presenting with fever and abdominal or flank pain or masses.

[Comparison of the effects of prophylactic antibiotic therapy and cost-effectiveness between cefazolin (CEZ) and Sulbactam/Ampicillin (SBT/ABPC) in gastric cancer surgery employing clinical pathway].
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of prophylactic antibiotic therapy and the cost-effectiveness of Cefazolin (CEZ) and Sulbactam/Ampicillin (SBT/ABPC) in gastric cancer surgery employing clinical pathway. 157 patients (62 in the CEZ group and 95 in the SBT/ABPC group), who underwent surgery for gastric cancer at the First Department of Surgery of our hospital, were investigated. There was no significant difference between the groups with regard to sex, age, incidence of complication, stage of cancer, surgical method, operative time and blood loss, length of hospitalization, the appearance of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), changes body temperature, white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), or clinical outcome of postoperative care by a nurse during post-operation for 7 days. The prophylactic effect of infection was also no different between the CEZ (69.4%) and SBT/ABPC (69.5%) groups. In contrast, decision analysis strongly indicated that the anticipate cost of antibiotics was higher in the latter group (yen 20402) than in the CEZ group (yen 15556), suggesting that the prophylactic effect of CEZ may be more cost-effective. Thus, evaluations of pharmacotherapy from the aspect of cost may be one of the important responsibility of hospital pharmacists in the future.

[Two cases of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sepsis following craniotomy].
We report here two cases of MRSA sepsis following craniotomy. In case 1, a petroclival meningioma was subtotally removed and lumbar drainage was inserted postoperatively to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was performed after meningitis was treated with vancomycin and panipenem/betamipron. Two weeks after the procedure, the patient revealed continuous spiking fevers related to MRSA sepsis, which did not improve with vancomycin and arbekacin administration. The focus of infection was found by scintigraphy and CT by 67Ga to be spondylo-diskitis at the level of L2-L3. The lesion was removed and bone from the iliac crest grafted. In case 2, seven days after surgery for multiple meningioma, the patient exhibited spiking fevers and swelling in the left leg. The central venous catheter was removed from the left femoral vein and MRSA was found from blood culture. The patient was treated with arbekacin (200 mg/day). Venous thrombosis diagnosed by CT was treated with heparin. Symptoms related to the infection and laboratory data did not improve because the concentration of arbekacin in the blood did not reach an effective level. The symptoms markedly improved when the dose of arbekacin was doubled (400 mg/day).

A bacteriological assessment of ampicillin with sulbactam as antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing biliary tract operations. The West of Scotland Surgical Infection Study Group.
A prospective audit of 644 patients undergoing biliary tract operations has been conducted in ten district general hospitals. All patients received a single dose of ampicillin 2 g and sulbactam 1 g as antibiotic prophylaxis. Bacteria were cultured from the bile of 121 patients. In patients with sterile bile the incidence of postoperative infection was 2.5%, while in those with colonized bile it was 22% (P less than 0.0001). The 35 patients from whose bile bacteria of two or more species were isolated, had a higher incidence of wound infection (34%) than those whose bile yielded only one species of bacterium (17%; P less than 0.05). Seventeen of the 27 patients with colonized bile who developed postoperative infection were shown to be infected by the same organisms that had been isolated from their bile. The patients whose bile yielded organisms resistant to the prophylactic antibiotic combination did not have a significantly higher rate of infection than those from whose bile only sensitive organisms were obtained. A marked difference in sensitivity patterns between the participating hospitals was observed.
