Waste plastics in the environment is called"gray pollution"as a result of difficult degradation and when dis-posed by incineration,secondary pollutants are released.In this paper the formation mechanism and path of some persistent or-ganic pollutants in the process of waste plastic incineration disposal and their potential hazards to the ecological system,even to human beings are briefly reviewed,and valuable references and suggestions are given.Some of effective measures which should be taken to inhibit the formation of these toxic organic compounds during waste disposal and reduce their negative effect on mankind.

Amphibian is playing a very important role in the field of environmental toxicological studies. In the present paper, taking the Xenopus laevis, a model animal of amphibian, as an example, reviewed the application of amphibian in environmental toxicology, such as acute toxicity, frog embryo teraogenesis array-Xenopus(FETAX), micronucleus test, environmental endocrine disruptors detection.

Objective The purpose of writing the"Expert consensus on the prevention and control of intracranial hypertension in adult critical illness"(here in after referred to as the"Consensus")aimed to standardize the nursing work related to the prevention and control of elevated intracranial pressure in adult critical illness,and prevent the occurrence of complications such as cerebral herniation.Methods Guided by evidence-based practice,domestic and foreign databases were searched for guidelines,expert consensuses,systematic evaluation,evidence summaries,and original research related to increased intracranial pressure.The search period is from database establishment to March 2024.The high-quality evidence and suggestions in the field was evaluated,extracted,and summarized to form a preliminary consensus.27 experts were invited to conduct 2 rounds of expert inquiry and 8 experts were invited to conduct 2 expert discussion meetings,to revise and improve the content of the initial draft,and to ultimately form a final consensus.Results The effective response rates for both rounds of inquiry questionnaires were 100%,with expert authority coefficients of 0.884,judgment coefficients of 0.964,and familiarity levels of 0.804.The Kendall harmony coefficients for 2 rounds of inquiry were 0.107 and 0.083(P<0.01),respectively.The consensus includes 4 aspects,including identification,monitoring,prevention and control strategies,emergency treatment and care for increased intracranial pressure.Conclusion This"Consensus"has strong scientific validity and can provide reference basis for nurses to carry out prevention and control of intracranial pressure increase.

Chronic migraine is one of neurological disorders with high rate of disability, but sufficient attention has not been paid in this field. A large number of clinical studies have shown traditional Chinese acupuncture is a kind of effective treatment with less side effects. Through the analysis of literature regarding acupuncture and migraine published from 1981 to 2017 in CNKI and PubMed databases, the mechanism of neural plasticity of acupuncture on chronic migraine was explored. It was believed the progress of chronic migraine involved the changes of neural plasticity in neural structure and function, and the neural plasticity related with neural sensitization during the process of chronic migraine was discussed from three aspects of electrophysiology, molecular chemistry and radiography. Acupuncture could treat and prevent chronic migraine via the mechanism of neural plasticity, but there was no related literature, hindering the further spreading and development of acupuncture for chronic migraine.
