This paper reports the perioperative care of a patient undergoing the bilateral posterior ventral globus pallidus deep brain stimulation treatment for neuroacanthocytosis. The nursing points mainly included psychological care of the patient before surgery,preoperative preparation,postoperative care and special nursing before and after deep brain stimulation opening. The patient's dance-like involuntary movements and compulsive behavior reduced significantly after the treatment with no complications.

Objective To use inverse distance weighting(IDW)in studying the distribution of endemic fluor.0sis in Jiangsu Province and evaluate the value of IDW in endemic fluorosis surveillance.Methods A geographic information system(GIS)database of endemic fluorosis was established in Jiangsu Province from the data of endemic fluorosis survevs conducted during 1982-1985.With the help of Arc View 3.3 system,IDW was applied to forecast the distribution of fluoride concentration in water and the distribution of the prevalence rate of dental fluorosis in Jiangsu Province based on the electronic map of Jiangsu Province.Results IDW was applied to forecast the distribution of endemic fluorosis in Jiangsu Province.By comparing with the result of endemic investigation in the 1980's.the forecasting Was proven to be accurate,exact and detailed.Conclusion With the application of IDW and stratified sampling,it is feasible to describe the spatial distribution of endemic fluorosis in Jiangsu Province in endemic fluorosis surveillance.

Objective:Our aim is to investigate the relationship of VEGF-C,VEGF-D and lymph node metastasis in pancreatic cancer,and to elucidate the role and significance of the cancerous peripheral lymphatic tissue.Methods: The expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D was assayed by means of immunohistochemistry in 30 pancreatic carcinomas.Results:The positive rates of VEGF-C、VEGF-D were 73% (22/30)、57% (17/30) respectively in pancreatic cancer.The expression of VEGF-C、 VEGF-D in cancerous invasive edge was significantly higher than that in the center of cancerous tissues.There was no correlation between the expression of VEGF-C、VEGF-Dand the site,differentiation,histology types.Ⅲ~Ⅳ stages of pancreatic cancer showed strong expressions of VEGF-C、VEGF-D than that Ⅰ~Ⅱ stages of pancreatic cancer.The positive lymph node in positive VEGF-C and VEGF-D group were higher than that in the negative group.Conclusion:VEGF-C and VEGF-D induced lymphangiogenisis in pancreatic cancer,promoted the tumor cell lymph metastasis.

Objective To evaluate effection of the myocardial protective in treatment of coenzyme complex to the VR patients .Methods Eighty patients who need to VR were divided into control group ( n=40) and coenzyme complex group ( n =40) with double -blind.The automatic recovery rate of heart beats after cardiac resuscitation , the changes of postoperative arrhythmia rate , postoperative serum CK-MB, cTnI in 12h in two groups were recorded .Results The automatic recovery rate of heart beats was higher in coenzyme complex group than that in control group , (85%vs 67%, P <0.05).The changes of postopera-tive arrhythmia rate (26%vs 38%), serum CK-MB, cTnI at clamp off of aorta, end of operation,6hour of postoperation and 12 hour of postoperation were lower in coenzyme complex group than those in control group respectively ( all P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Coenzyme complex shows positive protection of myocardial in the VR patients.

Objective Thoracic cavity fistula following esophagus carcinoma resection is a serious complication with a high mortality.This study aims at a better therapy for thoracic cavity fistula following esophagus carcinoma resection by summarizing the ex-perience with the four-tube strategy ( jejunal fistula tube, stomach tube, chest drainage tube, and nasal fistula tube) in the treatment of the complication. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 62 cases of thoracic cavity fistula following esopha-gus carcinoma resection, 35 treated with the four-tube strategy ( treatment group) and the other 27 with the three-tube ( stomach tube, chest drainage tube, and nasal fistula tube) method ( control group) .We compared the hospital days, wound healing time, mortality, and incidence of anastomotic stenosis at 6 months after operation between the two groups of patients. Results Compared with the controls, the treatment group showed remarkable decreases in the hospital days (P<0.05), wound healing time (P<0.05), and mortality (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence rate of anastomotic stenosis at 6 months after operation between the two groups of patients ( P >0.05 ) . Conclusion Compared with the three-tube method, the four-tube strategy has the advantages of shorter healing time and lower mortali-ty, and therefore is preferable for the treatment of thoracic cavity fis-tula following esophagus carcinoma resection.
