Objective To explore the classification and surgical management of pancreatic duct stones.Methods The clinical data of 54 patients with pancreatic duct stones who were admitted to the People's Hospital of Hunan Province from June 1994 to November 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Stones were found in the head of the pancreas (type Ⅰ ) in 31 patients, in the body and tail of the pancreas (type Ⅱ ) in 7 patients, and in all the pancreas (type Ⅲ ) in 16 patients. According to the types of the pancreatic duct stones, ten patients (6 with type Ⅰ , two with type Ⅱ and two with type Ⅲ pancreatic duct stones) received opening of the main pancreatic duct + pancreaticojejunostomy or pancreaticogastrostomy ( group A). Twenty-four patients ( 16 with type Ⅰ and eight with type Ⅲ pancreatic duct stones) received pancreaticoduodenectomy (group B). Fifteen patients (nine with type Ⅰ and six with type Ⅱ pancreatic duct stones) received subtotal resection of pancreatic head preserving duodenum (group C). Five patients with type Ⅱ pancreatic duct stones received resection of the body and tail of the pancreas and the spleen (group D). All data were analyzed using the t test. Results The mean operation time, blood loss, length of postoperative stay and hospital charges of group A were (2.2 ± 1.2)hours,( 127 ±24)ml,( 11.4 ±4.3) days and (3.24 ± 1.15 ) × 104 yuan, respectively. Five out of nine patients who were followed up had stone recurrence. The mean operation time, blood loss, length of postoperative stay and hospital charges of group B were (7.6 ± 1.1 ) hours, (409 ± 37 ) ml, ( 18.9 ± 2.5 ) days and (7.93 ± 1.35 ) × 104 yuan, respectively.No stone recurrence was detected in the 21 patients who were followed up. The mean operation time, blood loss,length of postoperative stay and hospital charges of group C were (4. 1 ± 0.7 ) hours, ( 156 ± 63 ) ml, ( 10.3 ±2.1 )days and (4. 12 ± 1.22) × 104 yuan, respectively. No stone recurrence was detected in the 15 patients who were followed up. The mean operation time, blood loss, length of postoperative stay and hospital charges of group D were (3.3 ± 1.4) hours, ( 185 ± 36 ) ml, ( 9.3 ± 2.0) days and ( 3.22 ± 1.05 ) × 104 yuan, respectively. No complication was detected after the operation, and no stone recurrence was detected in the three patients who were followed up. There were significant differences in the mean operation time, blood loss, length of postoperative stay and hospital charges between patients with type Ⅰ and Ⅲ pancreatic duct stones who received pancreaticoduodenectomy and subtotal resection of pancreatic head preserving duodenum (t = 12. 143, 14. 099, 11. 550, 9. 103,P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Classification of the pancreatic duct stones is important for choosing the proper surgical procedure. Subtotal resection of pancreatic head preserving duodenum is ideal for the treatment of patients with type Ⅰ or Ⅱ pancreatic duct stones.

Objective To explore the reasons,diagnosis and treatment of residual cholecystitis(RCC) with gallstones. Methods The clinical data of 36 RCC patients with gallstones identified by operation were retrospectively analyzed. Results All the 36 patients were cured by reoperation. Residual cholecystectomy was performed on 8 patients, and residual cholecystecomy plus common bile duct exploration and T tube drainage on 28 patients. Thirty one patients were followed up for 3 months to 12 years,93.55% of the patients had good results. Conclusions The main reason of residual cholecystitis with gallstones was not followed the principle of "identify cut identify" during cholecystectomy .The clinical presentation of RCC is similar to that of cholecystitis with gallstones .The accurate rate of auxiliary examinations is low,so the results of these exammations should be analyzed comprehensivly in the diagnosis. The principle of "identify cut identify" should be followed during the reoperation. The common bile duct and common hepatic duct should be opened first and then the residual gall be resected.

Objective To investigate the character of real-time gray-scale contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and its clinical value in diagnosing hepatic focal lesion. Methods One hundred and three patients with 142 focal hepatic lesions were examined by CEUS after an intravenous administration of the contrast agent, then the characters of the images were analyzed. Results The initial contrast-enhanced signal patterns were classified into 5 modes, peak contrast-enhanced signal patterns into 4 modes, and contrast agent perfusion patterns into 7 modes. Different lesions had different characters of contrast-enhanced phases. The accuracy rate of the CEUS in diagnosing focal hepatic lesion was 93.0%. which was significantly higher than that of conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT (X2=47.430, P<0.05). Conclusions The characteristic initial contrast-enhanced pattern and contrast agent perfusion pattern are helpful in the differential diagnosis of hepatic focal lesion, while peak contrast-enhanced signal pattern is relatively unreliable. Compared with conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT, CEUS can dramatically improve the accuracy of qualitative diagnosis of hepatic focal lesion.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a series of syndromes caused by stroke, involving impairment of one or more cognitive functions, such as attention, language function, executive function, visuospatial cognition, episodic memory and working memory, etc. The traditional treatment methods of PSCI include drug therapy and cognitive training. The treatment modalities are limited and the maintenance effect is not good. Therefore, an auxiliary treatment method is urgently needed to improve its therapeutic effect. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe and mature non-invasive brain stimulation technique, which generates weak direct current (1-2 mA) through electrodes placed on the scalp to change the resting membrane potential of neurons, regulate the excitability of the cerebral cortex, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment. This article reviews the effect of tDCS on PSCI, and hopes to provide reference and guidance for its rehabilitation treatment.

Objective:
To develop a simple radiotherapy information system for the developments of multiple hospital areas.
Methods:
Using C/S+ B/S dual technology architecture, Visual Studio 2015+ C#+ HTML5+ JavaScript+ PostgreSQL9.5 were utilized as the programming tools selected for development. The two-dimensional barcode, intelligent IC card, identity card recognition, face recognition, speech synthesis and other technologies were integrated and applied in the radiotherapy process management. The normal business processes were designed by default automatic processing. Previous multi-step operation was simplified to single-key operation.
Results:
System development was completed and implemented at the end of 2017, which connected the south and north hospital areas. The system not only resolved the problem that required the doctors to manually input or make telephone call for consulting patients’ data, but also achieved paperless business process in different departments. The outstanding advantage was reflected in the aspects of intelligence and optimization. Approximately 95% of the normal flows could be completed by single-key automatic processing, and the remaining 5% requiring special operations (such as, modification or deletion, etc.) were prompted and restricted to ensure data security and system stability.
Conclusion
The application of this system improves the level of information management in the departments and saves the cost of supplies and human resources.
