Objective: To explore an effective method of treating serious hepatic injuries.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 92 consecutive cases of serious hepatic injuries during recent 21 years.
Results: Eighty-four cases were treated with operation, and 8 cases with nonoperation management (NOM). Of these patients, 77 (83.5%) were healed, and 15 (16.5%) died. There were complications in 30 patients (31.5%). Hospital stay was 22.3 days.
Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a valuable diagnostic measure for hepatic injuries. When hemodynamic was stable, CT scanning was especially necessary for patients with complex injuries. Hemostasis is a key measure during operation. Debridement of nonviable hepatic parenchyma is effective management for the decrease of operative complications. If hypotension cannot be corrected actively, clamping of the upper abdominal aorta is an effective measure for patients with hepatic injuries. Serious hepatic injuries can be treated with NOM selectively.

Weaning stress-induced diarrhea is a serious issue in pig production. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of glucose oxidase (GOD) as an antibiotic substitute to alleviate diarrhea and improve gut health in weaned piglets. According to a randomized complete block design, 250 piglets weaned around 21 d of age were allocated into 5 groups (5 replicates/group), which received a basal diet without or with supplemental 200 mg/kg antibiotic, 500, 1000 and 2000 U/kg GOD, respectively.

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the progressive form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is linked to cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The rising prevalence of MASH and risk of hepatic and extra-hepatic complications emphasize the need for a better understanding of disease progression and associated outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of, and demographic and clinical characteristics associated with, progression to MASH-related complications by disease severity in patients with non-cirrhotic MASH or MASH cirrhosis.

Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) is a common and serious acute infectious disease that has a significantly impact on the duck farming industry. Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is the major causative agent of DVH in East Asia. Host factor indicators of resistance to DHAV-3 in Pekin ducks were investigated using resistant (Z7R) and susceptible (Z7S) duck lines.
