Objective　To observe the curative effect and sid e effect of the gastrokinetic agent mosapride citrate by RCT. Methods　 42 cases of functional dyspepsia (FD) were divided into two groups rando mly, the group of mosapride(21 cases):orally administrated mosapride, 5mg, t.i.d for 4 weeks, and the control (21 cases):orally administrated domperidone, 5mg, t.i.d for 4 weeks. Symptoms and side effects were recorded before and at d 14, d 28 after administration of the medicines according to GCP and double blind pri ciple. Gastric empting test was also carried out in randomly selected patients. Results　Mosapride and domperidone were significantly effective on alleviating symptoms of the patient with FD. In mosapride treated group the half emptying time was shortened and the 120 min remain rate was reduced. No sid e effect was found. Conclusion　These results suggest that mosa pride 5 mg t.i.d. is effective and safe on alleviating symptoms of patients with FD and improving the ga stric empting time.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical features, diagnosis and endoscopic surgical intervention for small steoma of nasal sinuses causing nasal and facial pain. METHOD: A retrospective review was performed on 21 patients with nasal and facial pain caused by small osteoma of nasal sinuses, and nasal endoscopic surgery was included in the treatment of all cases. RESULT: The nasal and facial pain of all the patients was relieved. Except for one ase exhibiting periorbital bruise after operation, the other patients showed no postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Nasal and facial pain caused by small osteoma of nasal sinuses was clinically rare, mostly due to the neuropathic pain of nose and face caused by local compression resulting from the expansion of osteoma. Early diagnosis and operative treatment can significantly relieve nasal and facial pain.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of precise hepatic segmentectomy or subsegmentectomy using intraoperative image-guided interventional intravascular segmental vessel balloon catheter occlusion of the segmental hepatic artery and portal vein.Methods 6 patients with liver resection carried out from 2011.3-2011.8 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The mean operating time was (270.83±21.31) min,the median of blood loss was 800 ml,the median of intraoperative transfusion volume was 450 ml.The tumors were mainly located in segments Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ.The mean diameter of tumor was (5.67±1.03) cm.Postoperative liver function in the first postoperative day showed the mean alanine aminotranferase (ALT) was (570.00±157.76) U/L,the mean aspirate aminotrarsferase (AST) was (410.00 ±189.94) U/L,and the mean total bilirubin (TBIL) was (10.83± 1.60) mmol/L.Liver function recovered to normal within 7 days.There was intestinal leakage and wound dehiscence in one patient,pleural and effusion in two patients.Conclusion Imageguided interventional intravascular segmental vessel balloon catheter occlusion was a safe and efficacious maneuver.This technique allowed hepatic segmentectomy or subsegmentectomy to be carried out,decreased intraoperative bleeding,and protected the function of the liver remnant.

Objective To analyze the trajectory categories of fatigue development in middle-aged and elderly stroke patients and explore its influencing factors. Methods A convenient sampling method was used to select 230 middle-aged and elderly stroke patients in the Luzhou People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 as the research subjects. A self-compiled general information-questionnaire, the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to investigate the sociodemographic and clinical data, fatigue, sleep quality, and depression status of patients at 2 days after admission and 3 and 6 months after discharge. The latent growth curve model was used to fit the categories and trajectories of fatigue development, and the unordered multinomial Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of trajectory categories of fatigue development. Results The fatigue development trajectory of middle-aged and elderly stroke patients showed three potential categories, namely the low-level fatigue stability group (33.04%), the medium-level fatigue rapid aggravation group (42.17%), and the high-level fatigue slow aggravation group (24.79%). The results of unordered multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that age, marital status, education level, disease severity, the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) score, PSQI score, and BDI score were the influencing factors of fatigue development trajectory in middle-aged and elderly stroke patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The fatigue development trajectory of middle-aged and elderly stroke patients is heterogeneous. Nurses should understand the evolution characteristics of fatigue in different patients and implement targeted management measures according to patients'symptoms to improve their health outcomes.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the therapeutic effect of ulinastatin combined with thymosin α1 in the treatment of severe sepsis in rats.

METHODSNormal Wistar rats were subject to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to establish models of severe sepsis. The rats were then randomized into 4 groups for treatment with saline (control), ulinastatin, thymosin α1, or the combination of the latter two injected through the caudal vein or subcutaneously at 6, 24, 48 and 72 h after modeling. The mortality rate was recorded daily and the rats were executed at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after CLP to harvest the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and small intestines for pathological examination. The spleen of the rats were taken for detection of apoptosis of the spleen cells.

RESULTSThe mortality rate of the septic rats in the combined treatment group was decreased significantly (P=0.0325). The control group showed the most severe organ damage, which was moderate in single drug treatment group and the mildest in combined treatment group. Obvious spleen cell apoptosis was found in the control group, and was significantly ameliorated in the combined treatment group[(47.4∓10.9)% vs (39.3∓11.4)%, P=0.0000].

CONCLUSIONCombined treatment with ulinastatin and thymosin α1 can significantly improve the prognosis and ameliorate organ damage and spleen cell apoptosis in rats with sever sepsis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of immediate breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap (DIEPF) after the modified radical mastectomy with nipple and areola preservation for breast cancer.Methods:Clinical data from November 2021 to March 2023 of 14 patients with ages from 29 to 49 (mean 40) years old were retrospectively analysed. All the patients received nipple-areola complex-preserving modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer followed by breast reconstruction with DIEPF at the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University. Three patients had left breast cancer and 11 had right breast cancer. Preoperative CTA was used to clarify the course and branching of the deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) and identify dominant perforators. Intraoperatively, indocyanine green (ICG) angiography was conducted to assess the perfusion of the flap and patency of the vascular anastomoses. Reconstructive surgery were performed using unilateral DIEPF in 4 patients and bilateral DIEPF with internal pressurization in 10 patients. Seven patients underwent anastomosis with intrathoracic vessels as recipient vessels, and 7 with thoracodorsal vessels. The weight of the resected breast tissue was 325.8 g±17.1 g, and the weight of the reconstructed breast flap was 332.9 g±32.1 g. The size of the harvested DIEPF ranged from 16.0 cm×9.0 cm to 24.0 cm×12.0 cm, with the length of the vascular pedicle anastomosed to the recipient vessels at 11.4 cm±1.5 cm. The donor sites were closed by layers with tension-reducing sutures, and the position of the umbilicus was relocated and sutured. All patients were included in the scheduled postoperative follow-up at the outpatient clinic after discharge.Results:Of all 14 patients, no postoperative crisis compromise of flap occurred, and both the recipient and donor sites healed primarily. During a follow-up period of 6 to 16 months, with an average of 11 months, no breast cancer recurrence was observed, and the aesthetic outcomes of the reconstructed breast were satisfactory without obvious complications.Conclusion:Breast reconstruction with DIEPF immediately after modified radical mastectomy with sparing nipple and areola can achieve good aesthetic results, less complications in the donor site and with high patient satisfaction rate.

BackgroundAs a high prevalence disorder， schizophrenia has caused significant burden to family and society due to the impairment of occupational and social function. Currently， the dominant vocational training model in China follows a paternalistic， clinician-led decision-making approach. Although it improves patients' social function to some extent， it undermines their autonomy and treatment adherence. Therefore， it is urgently necessary to explore a new intervention method to enhance treatment compliance and social function in patients. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of shared decision-making oriented vocational training on social function in hospitalized schizophrenia patients， so as to provide references for rehabilitation interventions. MethodsA total of 68 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia according to the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） criteria were consecutively enrolled from January to June 2024 at The Third People's Hospital of Wenjiang Distric， Chengdu. Participants were randomly allocated into the research group （n=34） and the control group （n=34） using a random number table method. Both groups received routine rehabilitation training， while the research group received shared decision-making oriented vocational training for 12 weeks， 2 times a week for 2 hours each time. Before and at the 4^th and 12^th week of intervention， two groups were evaluated by General Self-Efficacy Scale （GSES）， Stigma Scale for Mental Illness （SSMI）， Scale of Social function of Psychosis Inpatients （SSFPI） and Inpatient Psychiatric Rehabilitation Outcome Scale （IPROS）. ResultsA total of 63 participants completed the study， with 30 cases in the research group and 33 cases in the control group. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed statistically significant time effects and interaction effects in both groups for GSES， SSMI， SSFPI and IPROS scores （F=20.451， 16.022； 26.193， 12.944； 23.957， 5.023； 11.776， 3.985， P<0.05 or 0.01）， while no significant group effects were observed （F=0.188， 0.742， 1.878， 0.474， P>0.05）. At the 12^th week of intervention， there were statistically significant differences in GSES， SSMI， SSFPI and IPROS scores between the two groups. ConclusionShared decision-making oriented vocational training may help to improve social function in patients with schizophrenia. ［Funded by 2023 Chengdu Medical Research Project （number， 2023468）］
