OBJECTIVE To establish management index system for rational drug use of key monitoring drugs， and provide reference for the management of key monitoring drugs in the hospitals. METHODS First， the management index system for rational drug use of key monitoring drugs was drafted by collecting the evidence from related medical literature. Next， using a modified Delphi method， twenty experienced experts from the fields of pharmacy， medical practice， healthcare insurance， and finance were selected to participate in two rounds of questionnaire consultations. Based on the expert enthusiasm coefficient， authority coefficient， degree of opinion concentration， and degree of coordination， the final indicators were determined to establish a management index system for rational drug use of key monitored drugs in medical institutions. RESULTS The expert enthusiasm coefficients reached 100% in both rounds of consultation. In first-level， second-level and third-level indicators， the authority coefficients of experts were 0.89， 0.86 and 0.87， and coordination coefficients of the experts in importance score were 0.300 （P＜ 0.05）， 0.125 （P＜0.05） and 0.139 （P＜0.05）， respectively. The average score for the importance of all indicators reached over 3.5， in which the full score ratio ranged from 35% to 100%. Except that the variation coefficient of a third-level indicator “number of specifications purchased for key monitored drugs” was 0.26， the variation coefficients of rest indicators were less than or equal to 0.25. Based on the results of expert consultation， final version of the management index system established in this study， including two first-level indicators （drug procurement and use， and rational drug use）， five second-level indicators （such as the accessibility， cost-effectiveness） and twenty third-level indicators （such as the number of specifications purchased for key monitored drugs， the increase in the cost of key monitored drugs）. CONCLUSIONS The management index system established in this study possesses high reliability and strong operability， and may provide a reference for the management of key monitoring drugs in the hospitals.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of Zhenzhu Tiaozhi capsules on the kidneys in the mouse model of diabetic kidney disease. MethodsThirty male C57BL/6J mice were selected as experimental objects. The model of diabetic kidney disease was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin （STZ） at 40 mg·kg^-1 for 5 days combined with a high-fat diet （HFD）. Fasting blood glucose （FBG） ≥ 11.1 mmol·L^-1， increased urine volume， and continuous appearance of proteinuria indicated successful modeling. Mice were grouped as follows： Blank， model， low- and high-dose （0.98 and 1.96 g·kg^-1， respectively） Zhenzhu Tiaozhi capsules， and losartan potassium （30 mg·kg^-1）， with six mice in each group. After 12 weeks of continuous gavage， urine and kidney specimens were collected， and the 24-h urinary protein and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio （UACR） in mice were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining， and Masson staining were performed for observation of histopathological changes in kidneys. Immunofluorescence assay was employed to detect the positive expression of the podocyte marker protein nephrin. Oil red O staining was used to detect renal lipid deposition. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the renal tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the expression levels of sterol regulatory element-binding protein cleavage-activating protein （SCAP）， sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c （SREBP-1c）， and NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） in the renal tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group showed increases in 24-h urinary protein and UACR （P<0.05）， glomeruli exhibiting capsule adhesion， collagen fiber deposition， mesangial proliferation， and inflammatory cell infiltration， elevated levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α （P<0.05）， reduced positive expression of nephrin （P<0.05）， increased lipid deposition （P<0.05）， and up-regulated expression of SCAP， SREBP-1c， and NLRP3 （P<0.05） in the renal tissue. Compared with the model group， the treatment with losartan potassium or high-dose Zhenzhu Tiaozhi capsules for 12 weeks decreased 24-h urinary protein and UACR （P<0.05）， and the treatment with low-dose Zhenzhu Tiaozhi capsules for 12 weeks reduced the 24-h urinary protein （P<0.05）. Pathological staining results revealed that kidney damage in mice from all treatment groups was alleviated， with reduced inflammatory infiltration， collagen fiber deposition， and mesangial proliferation， and increased positive expression of nephrin in the renal tissue （P<0.05）. In addition， all the treatment groups showed reduced lipid droplets （P<0.05）， lowered levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α （P<0.05）， and down-regulated expression of SCAP， SREBP-1c， and NLRP3 （P<0.05） in the renal tissue. ConclusionZhenzhu Tiaozhi capsules can ameliorate kidney damage in the mouse model of diabetic kidney disease by inhibiting the activation of the SCAP-SREBP-1c/NLRP3 signaling pathway， which reduces renal lipid deposition and inflammation.

Objective To explore the application of regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO2)-bispectral index(BIS)monitoring anesthesia in children undergoing surgery for supracondylar fractures of the humerus.Methods A total of 60 children with supracondylar fractures of the humerus undergoing surgery in Department of Orthopedi,Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital were chosen and randomly number table method segmented into control group and observation group from January 2020 to December 2022,30 cases in each group.After anesthesia,children in observation group were carried out with rSO2-BIS monitoring,while children in control group were given routine anesthesia management.Results The dosage of propofol and long chain fat emulsion/remifentanil injection in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.05),while there was no difference in heart rate,blood oxygen saturation and mean arterial pressure at various time points during awakening(P＞0.05);The recovery rate of postoperative analgesics of observation group was lower than that of control group,and the extubation time of observation group was shorter than that of control group(P＜0.05);The incidence of postoperative adverse reactions and behaviors in observation group were lower than those in control group(P＜0.001).The dosage of propofol and long chain fat emulsion/remifentanil injection,as the independent risk factors inducing the occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions and adverse behaviors were proved by multivariate analysis.rSO2-BIS monitoring is a key factor in reducing postoperative adverse behaviors and reactions in pediatric patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The use of rSO2-BIS monitoring during surgery for supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children can reduce the incidence rate of postoperative adverse behaviors and adverse reactions,thereby improving postoperative efficacy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the therapeutic effect of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and cytokines in aqueous humor in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods From July 2023 to December 2023,50 DR patients(56 eyes)who were treated with anti-VEGF drugs in the Department of Ophthal-mology,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University were included in this study.The patients were divided into the diabetic macular edema(DME)group(30 patients,36 eyes)and the proliferative DR(PDR)group(20 patients,20 eyes).Patients in the DME group received an intravitreal injection of aflibercept once a month for three consecutive times,with aqueous humor extracted before each injection.Patients in the PDR group received an intravitreal injection of aflibercept one week before vitrectomy,with aqueous humor extracted before injection and during vitrectomy,respective-ly.The concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGF-A),placental growth factor(PLGF),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-23,IL-17A,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the aqueous humor were detected using the Luminex as-say.Before injection therapy,all patients underwent best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and central macular thickness(CMT)examinations,and their correlations with cytokine concentrations in DR patients before injection therapy were ana-lyzed.Results Compared to before injection therapy,the concentrations of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 in the aqueous humor of patients in the DME group decreased significantly after treatment(all P＜0.05);additionally,the CMT de-creased,and the BCVA increased(both P＜0.05).After injection therapy,the concentrations of VEGF,PLGF,IL-1β,IL-23,IL-17A,and TNF-α in the aqueous humor of patients in the PDR group significantly decreased compared to before injec-tion therapy(all P＜0.05).Before injection therapy,the levels of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 in the aqueous humor of pa-tients in the DME group were higher than those in the PDR group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The correlation analysis results showed that before injection therapy,VEGF was negatively correlated with BCVA(r=-0.767,P=0.004)and was positively correlated with CMT(r=0.662,P=0.019)and IL-23(r=0.765,P=0.004)in the DME group.There was no correlation between the cytokines in the aqueous humor of patients in the PDR group be-fore injection therapy(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Changes in the concentration of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 are closely related to the occurrence and development of DR.Anti-VEGF treatment can improve BCVA and decrease CMT in DME pa-tients.The expression level of IL-23 in aqueous humor can serve as a predictive factor for the anti-VEGF efficacy in DR pa-tients,providing new targets for early diagnosis and treatment of DR.

This study established a school-supervisor-postgraduate "three-dimensional interaction" mode of academic norms and ethics education for medical postgraduates based on their training characteristics. The mode was evaluated and improved in practice. The results showed that after the implementation of the mode, graduate students significantly improved their awareness of how to standardize the implementation of experiments [(79.86% vs. 89.47%); P=0.021] and how to write formal experimental records [(84.72% vs. 92.76%); P=0.028]. In addition, there were significant increases in the pass rate of pre defense (85.42% vs. 94.08%; P=0.014) and blind review (84.03% vs. 93.42%; P=0.010). The "three-dimensional interaction" mode truly helps to achieve a win-win-win situation between postgraduate supervisors and the school, and is worth further practice and promotion.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective To observe the value of cardiac MR(CMR)compressed sensing(CS)sequence and conventional movie(CM)sequence for evaluating biventricular function in patients with congenital heart disease(CHD).Methods A total of 71 patients with CHD,including 31 cases with regular heart rhythm(regular heart rhythm group)and 40 cases with arrhythmia(arrhythmia group)were prospectively collected and scanned with CM and CS sequences.The scanning time of 2 sequences were recorded,and subjective scores of imaging quality of 2 kinds of images were compared.The differences,consistency and correlation between quantitative parameters of biventricular function measured on 2 kinds of images were analyzed.Results The acquisition time of CS was(18.87±1.75)s,of CM was(147.56±5.23)s,which was shortened by 87.21％than CS.The quality of both 2 kinds of images met the diagnostic requirements.The subjective scores of CS images were lower than that of CM in regular heart rhythm group(4[3,5]vs.4[4,5],Z=-2.070,P=0.038),while of CS images were higher than that of CM images in arrhythmia group(4[4,4]vs.3[4,4],Z=-2.673,P=0.008).No significant difference of the left ventricular function parameters was detected obtained based on 2 kinds of images in all 71 cases,nor in regular heart rhythm group as well as in arrhythmia group(all P＞0.05).Meanwhile,the right ventricular(RV)end-diastolic volume index(EDVI)obtained based on CM and CS images were not significantly different(all P＞0.05),but significant differences of ejection fraction(EF),end-systolic volume index(ESVI)and stroke volume index(SVI)were found in all 71 cases,in regular heart rhythm group and in arrhythmia group(all P＜0.05).CMR parameters of biventricular function measured on CM and CS images were all consistent and positively correlated(all P＜0.05).Conclusion CS sequence could be used to accurately assess biventricular function of CHD patients,significantly improve imaging quality and shorten scanning time.

Objective:To explore the value of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in the diagnosis of vulnerable plaques using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as the gold standard.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of coronary artery disease patients who underwent both IVUS and CCTA examinations at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from December 2017 to March 2022. Based on the IVUS results, the coronary plaques were divided into vulnerable and non-vulnerable plaque groups. Finally, 43 patients with a total of 88 coronary artery plaques were included, of which 26 were vulnerable plaques. Plaque analysis were performed on the CCTA images, including qualitative parameters such as low-density plaques (LAP), "napkin-ring" sign (NRS), spotty calcification (SC) and positive remodeling (PR), and the quantitative parameters such as minimum lumen area (MLA), total plaque volume (TPV), lesion length, volume and proportion of calcified plaque and fibrous plaque. The differences of CCTA parameters between the two groups were compared using t-test, chi-square test, and rank sum test. The association between CCTA parameters and the risk of vulnerable plaque was evaluated by logistic regression. Different CCTA parameters were used to establish qualitative, quantitative, and hybrid models, and the diagnostic efficacy of different models for vulnerable plaque was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:There were significant differences in NRS ( χ2=14.22, P<0.001), MLA ( Z=3.25, P=0.001), lesion length ( Z=-3.28, P=0.001), TPV ( Z=-2.04, P=0.041), calcified plaque volume ( Z=-2.52, P=0.012) and fibrous plaque volume ( Z=-2.10, P=0.035) between vulnerable and non-vulnerable plaque groups. The logistic regression analysis showed that NRS ( OR=9.66, 95% CI 2.36-39.54), MLA ( OR=0.76, 95% CI 0.59-0.99) and lesion length ( OR=1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.07) were independent risk factors for vulnerable plaques. The diagnostic efficacy of the hybrid model based on CCTA parameters was superior to the qualitative model [hybrid model: area under the ROC curve (AUC)=0.82, 95% CI 0.72-0.89; qualitative model: AUC=0.68, 95% CI 0.57-0.78; Z=2.57, P=0.010]. Conclusions:CCTA parameters NRS, MLA, and lesion length are independent risk factors for coronary vulnerable plaques. The diagnostic efficacy of the hybrid model based on CCTA parameters is superior to the qualitative model for vulnerable plaques.
