    Objective In order to improve the antifungal effect of caspofungin, we screened the synergistic effects of many compounds with caspofungin in vitro. Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and synergistic index (FICI) of glyceryl monostearate (GMS), caspofungin (CAS) and fluconazole (FCZ) against Candida were measured by a microdilution method. In addition, the minimum concentration of glyceryl monostearate and caspofungin used alone or in combination to inhibit the hyphae formation of Candida albicans was investigated in the RPMI 1640 and Spider medium. Results The combination of glyceryl monostearate and caspofungin showed synergistic antifungal effect on pathogenic Candida, and the synergistic index was less than 0.5. When combined with glyceryl monostearate, the concentration of caspofungin inhibiting the formation of hyphae decreased significantly. Conclusion Glyceryl monostearate could enhance the antifungal effect of caspofungin in vitro.

    Objective To analyze the distribution and epidemic trend of Candida isolates from oral candidiasis patients in our hospital in recent five years retrospectively. Methods A total of 27,162 saliva culture samples collected from the Mucosal Department of Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between 2015 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All the results were entered into the Excel form and analyzed in groups according to different species distribution, funged quantities, sexes and ages. Results Among all the Candida strains isolated from oral candidiasis patients from 2015 to 2019, Candida albicans accounted for the highest proportion, while the positive proportion of Candida tropicalis and other Candida increased year by year. In the samples infected by C. albicans, C. tropical and C. glabrata, the number of colonies was mainly ≥200 CFU/mL. However, the number of colonies in samples infected with C. kruseii and other Candida species is mainly ≤30 CFU/mL or ≥200 CFU/mL. In all study populations, the positive rate of infection in female patients was significantly higher than that in male patients (P<0.05), and the positive rate of oral infection generally increased with age and increased significantly after the 41~50 age group. Conclusion Although Candida albicans was still the main pathogen of oral Candida infection, the positive rate of Candida tropicalis and other Candida had been increasing year by year in recent years. The analysis of the distribution and epidemic trend of oral candidiasis might be useful for clinical medication strategy.

    Objective To investigate the effect of berberine alone or in combination with conventional antifungal drugs on Talaromyces marneffei yeast. Methods Twenty-one isolates of T. marneffei were assayed. Drug interactions were assessed with the chequerboard technique using the CLSI microdilution method (M27-A3) with minor modifications. The fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) was used to classify drug interactions. Time-kill curves were used to confirm the synergistic interaction. Results Berberine/voriconazole and berberine/amphotericin B combination showed the highest percentage of synergic interaction (71.4%); followed by berberine/itraconazole (66.67%), berberine/fluconazole (47.62%), berberine/caspofungin (52.38%), respectively. Time-kill curves confirmed the synergistic interaction, no antagonistic or indifferent action was observed. Conclusions In vitro berberine could enhances the efficacy of antifungal agents against the yeast form of T. marneffei. The MIC value can be greatly reduced when combined with conventional antifungal drugs. The results indicated berberine might have a potential role in combination with antifungal agents in freating patients infected with T. marneffei.

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3-day rapid dose escalation treatment of amphotericin B(AmB) in childhood acute leukemia(AL) patients with invasive fungal disease(IFD). Methods Data on 108 AL patients with IFD during March 2009 to December 2018 were collected. Those assigned to standard group (n=50) received standard treatment for 5 days. New Group (n=58) received rapid dose-escalation for 3 days, The rate of adverse events and overall success rate in 4 weeks after initiation of AmB therapy were documented and retrospectively analyzed. Results We found the overall success rate was differed significantly between patients with proven and probable fungal infections in two group and the incidence of adverse events was similar between all patients (54.5% vs. 80.5%,P=0.021). Conclusions The 3-day schedule for drug administration of AMB presented a more effective, with less toxicity than the standard approach to treatmentfor childhood acute leukemia patients with IFD. There is nosignificant difference in the rate of AES between the 3-day escalation strategy and the 6-day escalation strategy. So we concluded that three-day dose escalation was better than standard treatment.

    Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of nosocomial fungal urinary tract infection in ICU. Methods The clinical data of patients with fungal urinary tract infection in the ICU of Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical characteristics and risk factors of the patients were described. Results ①From 2016 to 2020, a total of 2557 patients were enrolled in the intensive care unit of Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, and 130 patients met the research conditions. The incidence of fungal urinary tract infection was 5.1%. ②The clinical manifestations of nosocomial fungal urinary tract infection in ICU were atypical, and its occurrence was related to gender, age, and catheter indwelling time, but not to the year.③In the urine culture, Candida albicans was the main pathogen, accounting for 42.5%, followed by Candida glabra (31.3%), Candida tropicalis (19.4), Candida parapsilosis (4.5%), and other Candida (2.2%).④The risk factors of nosocomial fungal urinary tract infection in ICU were analyzed. Univariate analysis showed that diabetes, primary disease stroke, antibiotics, preinfection white blood cell count and preinfection enema had statistical significance (P<0.05).The significant indicators from univariate analysis were incorporated into the multivariate analysis. The Results showed that diabetes mellitus (P<0.001,OR=5.488), primary disease stroke (P=0.009,OR=2.782), preinfection white blood cell count (P=0.014,OR=3.515) and preinfection enema (P=0.001,OR=3.567) were independent risk factors for nosocomial fungal urinary tract infection in ICU. Conclusion For the nosocomial fungal urinary tract infection in ICU, we should take active measures to treat the primary disease and the basic disease, and at the same time, we should be alert to the enterogenous pollution caused by enema.
