Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of preserving supraclavicular nerve in the reduction and fixation of clavicular fracture.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 68 pa-tients with clavicular fracture who had been treated surgically from October 2016 to April 2018 at Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Heyuan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.They were 35 males and 33 females, aged from 25 to 45 years (average, 34.8 years).The supraclavicular nerve was preserved in the re-duction and fixation of clavicular fracture in 32 patients (reservation group) but not in the other 36 ones (control group).The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time; postoperative pain tolerance, feeling (by the British Medical Research Council assessment), shoulder function (by the Constant-Murley scoring) and impact of numbness on life.Results:The 2 groups were compatible due to insignificant differences in the general clinical data between them ( P>0.05).All the 68 patients were followed up for 12 to 26 months (average, 15 months).There was no significant difference between the 2 groups either in intraoperative blood loss or fracture healing time ( P>0.05).The preservation group had significant longer operation time (72.6 min±7.2 min) than the control group (47.3 min±7.4 min), but a significantly lower rate of analgesic usage on the postoperative day [6.3%(2/32)] than the control group [91.7%(33/36)] (both P<0.05).By the British Medical Research Council assessment, the postoperative feeling was rated as S3 or S4 in 93.8%(30/32) of the patients in the preservation group, significantly higher than the 72.2% (26/36) of the control group ( P<0.05).The preservation group was also significantly better than the control group in Constant-Murley scores of the injured shoulder [100.0 (93.5, 100.0) versus 87.0 (81.0, 89.0)] and impact of numbness on life [0 versus 50.0%(18/36)] (both P<0.05). Conclusion:In surgical treatment of clavicular fracture, preservation of the supraclavicular nerve can have a positive effect on reducing postoperative pain in the operative area and impact of numbness on life.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety between WangShiBaoChiWan and mosapride in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:From September 2019 to September 2020, patients with postprandial fullness and early satiation who met the Rome Ⅳ criteria for FD diagnosis were enrolled from 15 hospitals, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Changhai Hospital), Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical College. The subjects were randomly divided into WangShiBaoChiWan (experimental) group and mosapride (control) group in the ratio of 1∶1. The treatment regimens were WangShiBaoChiWan+ mosapride simulator, WangShiBaoChiWan simulator+ mosapride, respectively with a treatment period of 2 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was the improvement rates of main symptoms before and after treatment, the secondary efficacy primary efficacy outcome was the total clinical effective rate and the change of the single symptom score. And the safety indicator included adverse events. Independent sample t-test, paired t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 251 FD patients were enrolled in the full analysis set, including 124 in the experimental group and 127 in the control group; 241 FD patients were in the per-protocol analysis set, including 117 in the experimental group and 124 in the control group. The analysis of per-protocol analysis set showed that the improvement rates of the main symptoms of the experimental group and the control group were (66±29)% and (60±30)%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The improvement rate of the main symptoms of the experimental group reached 117% of that of the control group, which exceeded the expected non-inferiority standard of 80%. The total clinical effective rates of the experimental group and the control group were 76.07% (89/117) and 75.81% (94/124), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The results of full analysis set showed that the incidence of adverse events of the experimental group and the control group was 1.62% (2/124) and 1.57% (2/127), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There were no serious adverse events in the two groups. Conclusion:The improvement rate of the main symptoms of WangShiBaoChiWan is not inferior to that of mosapride in the treatment of FD, and it has good safety.

ObjectiveTo explore the differences of cognitive function in patients with treatment-resistant depression and drug-naive first-episode major depressive disorder, and to examine the relationship between severity of clinical symptoms and cognitive function, so as to provide references for prognosis improvement. MethodsFrom November 2016 to December 2019, 119 patients with drug-naive first-episode major depressive disorder and 82 patients with treatment-resistant depression in a hospital in Guangzhou were enrolled, meantime, another 71 healthy individuals recruited from the community were set as healthy control group. Clinical symptoms were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). Cognitive domains, including speed of processing, working memory, verbal learning and memory, and visual learning and memory were measured with the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB). Multiple covariance analysis was used to compare the differences in cognitive function among three groups. Thereafter, partial correlation analysis was performed within patient groups to explore the relationship of HAMD-17/HAMA score with the four dimensions of MCCB. ResultsThe speed of processing, visual learning and memory scores of treatment-resistant depression group and drug-naive first-episode depression group were lower than those of healthy control group, and the working memory score of the treatment-resistant depression group was lower than that of the healthy control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or 0.01). The speed of processing, visual learning and memory scores of treatment-resistant depression group were significantly lower than those of drug-naive first-episode depression group (P<0.05 or 0.01). Partial correlation analysis within patient groups found that HAMD-17/HAMA total score had no correlation with the four dimensions of MCCB (P>0.05). ConclusionCompared with drug-naive first-episode major depressive disorder patients and healthy controls, the impairments of speed of processing, visual learning and memory are more severe in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Moreover, the cognitive function impairment in patients with drug-naive first-episode major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression has no correlation with the severity of depressive and anxious symptoms.
