OBJECTIVE To explore the role of clinical pharmacists participating in the standardized perioperative nutritional management process for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) on improving postoperative recovery in patients. METHODS The clinical data of 100 patients undergoing PD in the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University School of Medicine from November 2019 to February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different perioperative nutrition management plans, they were divided into clinical pharmacist intervention group (n=51, clinical pharmacists intervened according to the standardized nutrition management process) and control group (n=49, clinical pharmacists only performed preoperative nutrition evaluation, and clinical physicians took nutrition support according to the patient’s condition). The differences in postoperative recovery index, economic evaluation index, hospitalization length, postoperative complications, and postoperative enteral nutrition support route were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS The time of postoperative diet, the first postoperative ventilation, the first postoperative defecation, and postoperative drainage time of abdominal drain were significantly earlier in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05); the hospitalization cost, medication cost, nutritional support cost, parenteral nutrition cost, albumin preparation cost, and the length of postoperative hospitalization were significantly lower/shorter in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05); there was statistically significant difference in the perioperative enteral nutrition support pathways between two groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists’ participation in perioperative nutritional management for PD can significantly reduce hospitalization costs and nutritional support costs, improve patients’ perioperative nutritional status, and shorten hospital stays. wanglina668@163.com

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between HPLC fingerprint and analgesic efficacy of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma, and to screen out the material basis of analgesic effect of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma.METHODS Established HPLC fingerprint of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma and dysmenorrhea model in rats. The weight loss rate, writhing response, serum malondialdehyde(MDA), estradiol(E2), prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α) levels were used as the evaluation indexes of analgesic efficacy. Combined with chemometrics, the main active components of analgesic effect of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma and the important components with great contribution to the content were screened.RESULTS The fingerprints of different batches of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma were established, and nine components were identified; compared with the blank group, the weight loss rate, writhing reaction, MDA, E2 and PGF2α levels in the model group were significantly increased. Compared with the model group, the above indexs in the administration group was decreased. Compared with the blank group, the PGE2 level in the model group was significantly decreased. Compared with the model group, the PGE2 level in the administration group was significantly increased. The vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma produced in Zhejiang had a good analgesic effect, and the main active components of its analgesic effect were protopine, palmatine hydrochloride, and dehydrocorydaline. The important components with greater contribution to the content were tetrahydropalmatine, protopine, palmatine hydrochloride and stylopine.CONCLUSION The efficacy of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma is the result of the combined action of multiple components, and each component has a strong correlation with the pharmacodynamic indexes. This study provides a reference for the screening of analgesic material basis of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma.
