Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butyl phthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods: Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, SCI, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases were searched from the building time to May 2016. The enrolled randomized controlled trails were studied by using Cochrane system evaluation methods to perform methodological quality assessment, and RevMan 5. 2 software was used to carry out Me-ta-analysis. Results:A total of 7 randomized controlled trails including 640 patients were enrolled. The results of Meta-analysis dem-onstrated that the effective rate of butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection was superior to that of Xueshuantong injection (RR=1. 33, 95%CI:1. 16-1. 52, P<0. 0001), butylphthalide (RR=1. 45, 95%CI:1. 15-1. 83, P=0. 002) and blank control (RR=1. 31, 95%CI:1. 08-1. 57, P=0. 005). NHISS of butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection was higher than that of Xueshuantong injection (MD=4. 63, 95%CI:3. 38-5. 87, P<0. 00001) and blank control (MD=6. 85, 95%CI:4. 90-8. 80, P<0. 00001). There was no significant difference in adverse drug reactions. Conclusion: Butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection is effective for the therapy of ACI. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the in-cluded studies, larger scale trials are needed.

ObjectiveThe trial was to examining the effectiveness and cost effects of family intervention for rehabilitating chronic outpatients with schizophrenia in the country.Methods90 subjects were randomly assigned to the family intervention group and the control group. Both groups received the same treatments, but the family intervention courses mainly containing mental health education were given to the family intervention group for one year. During the time, all subjects were evaluated with standard rating scales and self made criteria. ResultsThe family intervention group demonstrated clinical results significantly superior to those of the control group on overall improvement according to the scores on the SDSS, the SAPS, the SANS and the MRSS. Substantially, the direct and indirect average cost in the family intervention group was significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusions Family intervention is effective not only in making the schizophrenics recover from illness but also in both increasing their social functions and reducing their medical cost.
