We report an investigation of the therapeutic efficacy and safety of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel (DOC) and doxifluridine (5'-DFUR) administered as second-line or third-line chemotherapy in 23 cases of unresectable and/or advanced gastric cancer. Treatment consisted of intravenous DOC (40mg/m/2) on day 1 and 15, and oral 5'-DFUR (600mg/body) on days 1 to 28 every 4 weeks. The response rate for its antitumor efficacy was 17.

Fosfomycin (FOM), a drug with unique mechanism of action against bacteria, was prospectively compared with cefmetazole (CMZ) and flomoxef (FMOX) to assess its effectiveness in preventing postoperative infections after upper gastroenterological and hepatobiliary surgery. FOM (2g/dose), CMZ (1 g/dose), or FMOX (lg/dose) was infused intravenously 2-3 times daily for basically 4 days including the day of surgery in order to examine whether or not infections would develop after surgery. According to the analysis results of 162 cases, efficacy in preventing infection was 86.

Article Synopsis
  • A multicenter study in Japan analyzed bacterial infections in general surgery from April 2004 to March 2005, identifying 645 strains from 286 patients with surgical infections, including both primary and postoperative cases.
  • Anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria were more common in primary infections, while aerobic Gram-positive bacteria dominated postoperative infections, with notable strains such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp. being prevalent.
  • Resistance patterns were observed, including some strains of MRSA showing moderate resistance to arbekacin, and 13.3% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were carbapenem-resistant; however, no vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive cocci were detected.

Antimicrobial prophylaxis is widely performed in any surgical procedures to prevent postoperative infections. However, we have neither double-blind placebo-controlled studies nor sufficient surveillance of postoperative infections that are common in Europe and the United States, and therefore there is little convincing scientific basis accounting for the validity of this therapy. In addition, prophylactic agent is still uncovered by medical insurance despite the persistent arguments as to its necessity.
