Objective To investigate the preventive effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) and its recipe composition (BYJJF) in focal ischemic brain injury condition in vivo/in vitro. Methods In vivo studies, SD rats were divided into sham-operation group, MCAO group, BYHWD group and BYJJF group based on rat weight, 10 rats in each group. The body weight, infarct area and brain water contents were determined. In vitro studies, H2O2 was used to damage PC12 cells, and the vitro oxidative stress cell model was established. PC12 cells were divided into normal group, blank control group, BYHWD and BYJJF groups with different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.5 mg/mL). MTT method was employed to determine the protective effects of BYHWD and BYJJF on model cells.Results Vivo studies showed that after 7 days of treatment with BYHWD and BYJJF, those determinated quotas were all significantly improved compared with MCAO model rats (P<0.05), and there were no differences between BYHWD and BYJJF (P>0.05).Vtiro studies showed that the protective effects of BYHWD and BYJJF took place 2 hours later, and it was obvious in oxidative stress injury caused by H2O2, with statistical differences with model group (P<0.05). BYHWD and BYJJF could increase cell viability, and there was no difference between the groups with same concentration (P>0.05).Conclusion The research confirmed that BYJJF plays a significant role in improving the cerebral ischemia injury, which is the same performance as BYHWD, and BYJJF can save TCM resources under the precondition of TCM efficacy.

There are 1?024 cases of severe head injury hospita lized． 917 of them were closed head injury (89, 55%), 107 of them were opening head injury(10.45%)． Results: good recover: 326(31.83%)．moderate disability: 185(18.07%), severe inability 139(13.50%), persistent vegetative state　59(5.75%), death 315 (30.76%)． Conclusion: The early diagn osis and treatment of sever head injury is beneficial to the outcome of these patients． Special trea tment to different phrase of severe head injury, especially the moderate hypothermia treatment, co uld improve the outcome of these patients．

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the advantage and short-term efficacy of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

METHODSClinical data of 116 gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy in our department from January 2014 to August 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Among 116 patients, 56 received 3D and 60 received two-dimensional(2D) technique respectively. All the surgeries were performed by the same team. The operative parameters, short-term efficacy and hospital expense were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThere were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline data(all P>0.05). All the operations were performed successfully without conversion. Compared with 2D group, 3D group had shorter operative time [(186.2±22.8) minutes vs. (198.1±26.4) minutes, t=2.589, P=0.011], less intraoperative blood loss [(73.6±28.5) ml vs. (88.1±32.3)ml, t=2.555, P=0.012]. Whereas no significant differences in dissected lymph nodes(36.5±6.6 vs. 34.5±5.4, P=0.073), time to first flatus[(3.1±1.5) days vs. (3.3±1.8) days, P=0.729], length of hospital stay[(11.7±2.9) days vs. (12.6±3.1) days, P=0.088], incidence of postoperative complications [8.9%(5/56) vs. 11.7%(7/60), P=0.628] and hospitalization cost [(8.6±1.4)×10(4) yuan vs. (8.1±1.2)×10(4) yuan, P=0.055] were found between two groups.

CONCLUSIONThree-dimensional laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy may be advantageous over two-dimensional laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy.
