Objective:To explore the protective effect of astaxanthin on acute liver injury induced by α-amanitin in mice.Methods:In June 2023, 42 healthy SPF male Kunming mice were selected. The mice were divided into blank control group, model (0.45 mg/kg α-amanitin) group, olive oil (10 ml/kg olive oil) group, low dose (20 mg/kg) astaxanthin group, medium dose (40 mg/kg) astaxanthin group, high dose (80 mg/kg) astaxanthin group and silybin (20 mg/kg) group by random number table method. Each group had 6 animals. Mice in the blank control group were intraperitoneally injected with 10 ml/kg normal saline, and mice in the other group were injected with α-amanitin. After that, the blank control group and model group were infused with 10 ml/kg normal saline, olive oil group and astaxanthin groups were given olive oil and astaxanthin according to dose by gavage, and silybin group was injected with silybin by dose. The drug was administered once every 12 h for a total of 4 doses. After 60 h, the mice were killed, the liver weight was weighed, and the liver index was calculated. The contents of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum of mice were detected, and the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tissues were also detected. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the difference of indexes among each group, and pairwise comparison was performed by Dunnett- t test. Results:The mice in the blank control group had smooth hair color, good spirit and normal behavior, while the mice in the other groups showed varying degrees of retardation and decreased diet, and no death occurred in each group. Body mass[ (26.67±1.51) g] and liver mass[ (1.23±0.14) g] in model group were significantly lower than those in blank control group [ (33.50±2.43) g and (1.87±0.16) g], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The liver index [ (5.39±0.32) %, (5.83±0.30) %, (5.75±0.24) % and (5.78±0.16) %] in low, medium and high dose astaxanthin groups and silybin group were significantly higher than those in model group [ (4.61±0.12) %], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Serum ALT and AST contents in model group [ (153.04±13.96) U/L and (59.08±4.03) U/L] were significantly higher than those in blank control group [ (13.77±1.29) U/L and (10.21±0.35) U/L], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The contents of CAT, GSH and SOD in liver tissues of model group [ (9.40±2.23) U/mgprot, (3.09±0.26) μmol/gprot and (48.94±3.13) U/mgprot] were significantly lower than those of blank control group [ (26.36±2.92) U/mgprot, (6.76±0.71) μmol/gprot and (89.89±4.17) U/mgprot], the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). MDA content[ (6.33±0.24) nmol/mgprot] in liver tissue of model group was significantly higher than that of blank control group [ (0.91±0.21) nmol/mgprot], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The CAT contents[ (18.64±1.76) U/mgprot, (18.20±1.76) U/mgprot, and (15.54±1.36) U/mgprot] in liver tissues of low, medium and high dose astaxanthin groups were significantly higher than those of model group, with statistical significances ( P<0.05). Compared with model group, SOD contents[ (72.16±7.44) U/mgprot, (93.18±5.28) U/mgprot, (103.78±7.07) U/mgprot, and (96.60±7.02) U/mgprot] in liver tissues of mice in low, medium and high dose astaxanthin groups and silybin group were significantly increased ( P<0.05), MDA contents [ (4.30±0.84) U/mgprot, (3.66±0.28) U/mgprot, (2.96±0.29) U/mgprot, and (2.88±0.39) U/mgprot] were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with model group, GSH content [ (7.90±1.25) μmol/gprot] in high dose astaxanthin group was significantly increased ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Astaxanthin may alleviate acute liver injury induced by α-amanitin by alleviating oxidative stress in mice liver.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

Objective To analyze the effect of evidence based practice on feeding after spinal operation. Methods To formulate an answerable question, find the best available evidence, appraise the evidence and formulate the recommendations by using the method of evidence-based medicine. A total of 60 postoperative patients who received spinal operation were divided into observation group and control group (30 cases in each group). Those patients in control group received the routine diet guidance and the guidelines for the standardization of intake and consumption after spinal cord surgery were used for patients in observation group. The outcomes were evaluated by postoperative recovery and complications of patients after spinal operation. Results There were no significant difference in the incidence of nausea, vomiting , bloating and celialgia in the 5 hours after surgery and 2 hours after feeding between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of thirst and hunger in the 5 hours after surgery in observation group were 3.33%(1/30) and 13.33%(4/30).The incidence of thirst and hunger in the 5 hours after surgery in control group were 80.00%(24/30) and 83.33%(25/30). There were statistically significant in the incidence of thirst and hunger in the 5 hours after surgery between the two groups (χ2=36.27, 24.09, P<0.05). There were not statistically significant in the time of anal exsufflation and first defecation time between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions Evidence-based practice in the use of guidelines for the standardization of intake and consumption after spinal cord surgery can guide clinical practice.

Objective:To observe the effect of clinical pharmacists on the pain education in the patients with fracture. Methods:A total of 122 fracture patients with ASAⅠ/Ⅱaged 18-80 years were randomly divided into the intervention group (n=61) and the control group(n=61). The control group received the conventional orthopedic treatment..Flurbiprofen was injected for the postopera-tive analgesia,and if the pain VAS score was above 6,pethidine solution was given at the dose of 50 mg immediately. Based on the conventional treatment,the patients in the intervention group were educated by clinical pharmacist one day before the surgery,and then strengthened education was given after the surgery.The pain VAS score,and sleeping quality at 6h,24h,48h and 72h and satisfaction of pain management were compared between the groups.Results:The VAS score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 6 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after the operation (P<0.05). The scores of sleeping quality in the intervention group at 6 h and 24 h after the operation were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of patients' satisfaction were significantly higher in the intervention group than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical pharmacist's pain education can improve the degree of pain control and sleeping quality,increase the patients' satisfaction with pain control to a cer-tain extent.
