OBJECTIVE To optimize the clinical drug list of diagnosis-related group (DRG), reduce the drug cost of patients, and increase the DRG settlement rate. METHODS By selecting BR23 disease group in the department of neurology of a hospital as the research object, data mining technology was used to explore the medication rule of the disease group, and the key monitored drugs were scored by comprehensive evaluation of drugs, thus optimizing the clinical drug list of disease groups. The hospitalization information of patients enrolled in the disease group in December 2022 was selected as the pre-optimization data, and the hospitalization information of patients enrolled in the disease group in September 2023 was selected as the post-optimization data. The implementation effect of the optimized list was evaluated by comparing the medical quality and drug cost data between the two groups. RESULTS After optimizing the clinical drug list, the settlement rate of this disease group increased from 84.36% before optimization to 104.70%; there was significant reduction in hospitalization drug cost and total hospitalization cost (P< 0.05); the consumption of key monitored drugs significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS Data mining technology helps explore the clinical medication rules of disease groups, which can be used by pharmacists to improve the settlement rate of DRG through effective pharmaceutical intervention.

FimA has been characterized as an important virulence factor for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). These structures play a major role in the mechanisms of adhesion and invasion of Pg to host cells, and can induce cellular activation and cytokines release. FimA can also promote biofilm formation and induce immuno-inflammatory response of host cells. Many studies have characterized FimA to be associated with periodontitis and cardiovascular disease. Pg strains are classified into six types based on divergent nucleotide sequences of the fimA gene (types Ⅰ、Ⅰb、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ andⅤ). The expression of fimbriae is regulated by the fimA gene, which may be the key factor that leads to virulence diversities of Pg, At present, the research on the pathogenesis of FimA mainly focuses on periodontitis and atherosclerosis, which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of diseases. This paper reviewed the pathogenic effect of FimA in the development of above mentioned two diseases and its application in the prevention.
