OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection on neurological function and prognosis of elderly patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH)after trepanation and drainage surgery. METH-ODS:During Jan. 2015 to Jun. 2016,80 elderly HICH patients were selected from our hospital and then divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 40 cases in each group. Both group received trepanation and drain-age surgery. Control group was given routine treatment. Observation group was given Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection 100 mL,ivgtt,bid,on the fifth day after surgery,on the basis of control group. Both groups received treatment for 14 d. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed. CSS scores were compared between 2 groups before surgery and 28 d after operation;volume of encephaledema,serum levels of homocysteine(HCY)and substance P(SP)were compared between 2 groups before surgery and 14 d after operation. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was 87.5％,which was significantly higher than 67.5％ of control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before surgery, there was no statistical significance in CSS scores,volume of encephaledema or serum levels of HCY and SP between 2 groups(P>0.05). CSS scores 28 d after operation, SP levels 14 d after operation were significanthy increased,volume of encephaledema and serum levels of HCY in 2 groups were significantly decreased,and the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection can significantly improve clinical efficacy and hepatic func-tion damage,relieve postoperative encephaledema,reduce serum levels of HCY and increase SP levels in elderly HICH patients af-ter trepanation and drainage surgery.

Objective To explore the impact of the systematic social skills training on recovery of in -patients with chronic schizophrenia.Methods A total of 78 cases of long -term hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia were randomly divided into intervention group and control group on the basis of random number table. The two groups received psychiatric routine therapy and nursing,and general entertainment therapy,and the patients in the intervention group received group social skills training for 12 weeks.IPROS and SSSI were respectively used to evaluate two groups before the intervention,trained for 12 weeks.Results After 12 weeks'of systematic social skills training,social function defect levels SSSI score in the intervention group was apparently higher than that in the control group,and the difference was significant (χ2 =8.952,P <0.05 ).Compared with the control group (19.4 ± 4.5)points,(16.5 ±4.7 )points,(13.6 ±4.1 )points,(5.5 ±3.1 )points,(18.2 ±4.2 )points,(73.2 ± 16.3)points,in the intervention group public medical situation (10.3 ±5.5)points,life ability(12.1 ±5.7)points, social ability(6.2 ±3.5)points,antiseptic ability (3.3 ±3.3)points,concern and interest (9.6 ±4.5)points as well as the total score of IPROS (44.6 ±20.4),the differences were significant(t =7.760,6,188,8.165,2.568, 6.632,8.259,all P <0.05).Compared with before intervention,each factor in IPROS and the total score in the inter-vention group had statistically significant differences (t =8.890,7.923,8.321,3.195,8.21,9.852,all P <0.01). Conclusion The systematic social skills training can greatly promote the recovery of in -patients with chronic schiz-ophrenia,improve their social skills and life qualities.Compared with control group,the social function of patients in the intervention group has recovered positively.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of cystic adenoid tumor of the pancreas. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 11 cases of pancreatic cystic neoplasms confirmed by operation and pathology at our hospital from 1978 to 1998. Results Cystic adenoid tumor of the pancreas is more likely to occur in young females with middle age, clinical presentations were as follows: a long-term persistent mass and distending pain in the epigastrium. Utrasounography, CT and ERCP could contribute to the diagnosis. Of the 11 cases, pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 2, distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy in 6, local excision of the mass in 2, and loop type cystojejunostomy in 1. The rete of resection was 90.9%. Of them, 1 case died of abdominal abscess and septicemia postoperatively. All the 10 cases who survived postoperatively were followed up. Among the 10 cases, 1 case of pancreatic cystoadenoma died of cardiac infarction 3 months after operation, and 1 case of cystoadenocarcinoma died of metastasis 51 months after tumor excision. The other 8 cases still alived well now. Conclusions Cystic tumor of the pancreas should be suspected when young or middle aged female patients have a long term big mass in epigastrium or left upper quadrant. Ultrasonography and CT scan are helpful in the diagnosis of the tumor including cystoademoma and cystoadenocarcinoma, Although the volume of the tumors may be very big, they often have a intact capsure,so easy to excise. The excision of the total tumor and some arounding pancreatic tissue is the first choice of the treatment for cystic tumor of the pancreas, and the curative effectiveness is satisfctory.

The application of proximal gastrectomy for suitable upper gastric cancer and AEG patients is increasing along with the promotion of the concept and technology for function-preserving partial gastrectomy. The following problems such as postoperative reflux esophagitis and anastomotic stenosis naturally become the focus of academic field. Based on the understanding of the anti-reflux structure and function of the esophagogastric junction, scholars have successfully established some representative esophagogastric anastomosis methods with additional mechanical anti-reflux barrier, including gastric tube reconstruction, side overlap esophagogastrostomy, and double flap technique. Subsequently, a series of improved esophagogastric reconstruction methods have been derived. At present, the recognized ideal reconstruction method has not yet been established, and there are also misunderstandings in related concepts and cognition. Based on the literatures and the authors' own practical experience, this paper draws on the research results in the field of surgical treatment for reflux esophagitis, and discusses the theoretical basis, key details and anti-reflux effect of the above-mentioned digestive tract reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy, as well as the possible problems in the exploration of innovative surgical methods at home and abroad.
