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.

Background:
and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking.
Methods:
This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance.
Results:
Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal.
Conclusions
The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

Objective To analyze the relationship between serum levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2)and N-terminal middle molecular fragment of osteocalcin(N-MID)and postoperative hip joint dys-function in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.Methods A total of 96 elderly pa-tients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur who were treated in the hospital from February 2022 to June 2023 were selected.Based on the Harris score of postoperative hip joint function,they were grouped into a postoperative good group(n=67)and a postoperative poor group(n=29).Clinical data of all patients were collected,and serum levels of BMP-2 and N-MID were detected and compared.Spearman method was applied to analyze the relationship between serum BMP-2,N-MID levels and postoperative hip joint dysfunction in pa-tients.The influencing factors of postoperative hip joint dysfunction in patients were analyzed using Multivari-ate Logistic regression.The predictive value of serum BMP-2 and N-MID levels for postoperative hip joint dys-function in patients was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results There were obvious differences in Evans-Jensen classification of fractures,presence of postoperative complications,postop-erative internal fixation methods,and osteoporosis grading between the postoperative good group and the post-operative poor group(P<0.05).The serum levels of BMP-2 and N-MID in the postoperative poor group were greatly lower than those in the postoperative good group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The serum levels of BMP-2 and N-MID in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur were negatively correlated with postoperative hip joint function(r=-0.564,-0.638,P<0.05).Ev-ans-Jensen classification Ⅲ-Ⅴ,postoperative complications and osteoporosis grade 4-6 were all risk factors for postoperative hip joint dysfunction in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur(P<0.05),while elevated serum BMP-2 and N-MID levels were protective factors(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of single and combined detection of serum BMP-2,N-MID for postoperative hip joint dysfunc-tion in patients was 0.932,0.883,and 0.977,respectively,and the value of the combined detection was higher(Z combination-BMP-2=2.220,P=0.026;Z combination-N-NMID=3.162,P=0.002).Conclusion The serum levels of BMP-2 and N-MID in elderly patients with hip joint dysfunction after surgery for intertrochanteric fractures of the fe-mur are greatly reduced,and are negatively correlated with postoperative hip joint function.The combination of the two could better predict postoperative hip joint dysfunction in patients.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with high incidence and many complications,among which type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)accounts for a large proportion.Current studies have shown that T2DM is accompanied by damage of liver,kidney,and other organs and its complications seriously en-danger human health.Ferroptosis generates many Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS)through the Fenton reaction,and the accumulation of ROS activates Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1(HIF-1α).As a result,the level of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)is increased.Ferrostatin-1(Fer-1),a ferroptosis in-hibitor,has strong antioxidant capacity.Therefore,based on the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor(HIF-1α/VEGF)signaling pathway,we explored the therapeutic effect of Fer-1 on the liver and kidney tissues of diabetic mice.db/db mice(21~22 weeks old)were used as the model of diabetes mellitus.Ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 was used as the intervention drug.db/m mice served as the blank control group,and body weight and blood glucose were measured for 4 weeks.Food intake and water intake were recorded in each group.The levels of Alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and Aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in the serum were measured.ROS and Glutathione(GSH)activity in liver and kidney tissues and urinary protein content were measured.Liver and kidney tissue sections were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin(HE),and the pathological morphology was observed under a light microscope.The protein levels of HIF-1α,VEGF,and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)in liver and kidney tissues were detected by Western blot.In db/db mice,Fer-1(1 mg·kg-1,ig)could significantly reduce the a-mount of food and water intake,the levels of ALT and AST in serum,the ROS production in liver and kidney tissues,and the level of urine protein,but significantly increase the activity of GSH,thus improve the pathological conditions of liver and kidney.Fer-1 also significantly inhibited HIF-1α and VEGF pro-tein indexes and increased GPX4 protein levels in liver and kidney tissues.Although Fer-1 can not change the body weight and reduce blood glucose in diabetic mice,it can play a therapeutic role in the liver and kidney tissues of diabetic mice in the middle and late stages,and its mechanism may be related to HIF-1α/VEGF and GPX4.
