Objective To study the clinical effect and complications of MRI guided stereotactic radiofrequency lesion in patients with intractable schizophrenia. Methods Thirty-eight cases of intractable schizophrenia underwent MRI guided stereotactic stereotactic radiofrequency lesion for single target or combined target. According to 1990 standards from National Psychosurgery Cooperation, the therapeutic outcome was assessed 6 months after operation. In addition, pre-and post-operative brief psychiatric reacting scale (BPRS) scores were got by psychiatrists for evaluating the curative effect. Results Six months after operation, 8 cases were free from symptoms, 15 cases were significantly improved, 12 improved a little and 3 had no improvement. The effective rate was 92.1%. 15cases had mild transient post-operative complications, and all recovered within 2 weeks. Psychiatric evaluations of BPRS demonstrated that there were significant decreases in total score and factor scores of anxiety-depression, lacking-activity, disturbance, activation and hostile-suspiciousness after operation (P<0.05). Conclusions MRI guided stereotactic radiofrequsency lesion is accurate, safe and effective for intractable schizophrenia.

OBJECTIVETo elucidate the role of S-100B and neuron specific enolase (NSE) in predicting the outcomes of patients with severe head injury.
METHODSForty patients with severe head injury were included in this study. The serum concentrations of S-100B and NSE were measured within 12 hours after head injury to investigate the correlation between serum levels of S-100B and NSE and outcome. Validity of both S-100B and NSE in outcome prediction was assessed with Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve.
RESULTSThe serum concentrations of S-100B and NSE of both groups, with favorable or unfavorable outcomes, were significantly higher than those of the normal group. The serum concentrations within 12 hours after head injury were closely correlated with the prognosis. Furthermore, according to the ROC curves of S-100B and NSE, S-100B was found better in predicting outcomes than NSE.
CONCLUSIONSS-100B and NSE may play important roles in outcome prediction after severe head injury. Moreover, S-100B is clearly superior to NSE in terms of predictive value and appears to be a more promising serum marker in outcome prediction after severe head injury.

BACKGROUNDDiabetes mellitus plays an important role in cancer prevalence and outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of DM on stages and outcomes among patients with colorectal cancer.
METHODSThe study enrolled 945 patients who were diagnosed as having colorectal carcinoma from August 1994 to December 2002. In the cohort, 26 patients were diagnosed as having DM. With a median follow-up of 45.8 months, differences in overall survival and disease-free survival between the diabetes and non-diabetes groups were analyzed.
RESULTSKaplan and Meier analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the two groups in overall survival rates at 3 years or 5 years. At 5 years, patients with DM, compared with patients without diabetes, experienced a significantly lower disease-free survival rate (34.2% diabetics vs. 55.1% non-diabetics; P = 0.025).
CONCLUSIONSDM was associated with an increased risk of recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective:
To explore the therapeutic value of interventional methods for hemorrhage caused by mandibular arteriovenous malformations.
Methods:
The clinical data of 7 patients (3 males and 4 females) with mandibular arteriovenous malformations treated by interventional therapy from January 2012 to January 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. Of all patients, 4 patients suffered from sudden massive hemorrhage and 3 patients suffered from spontaneous repeated bleeding. The age ranged from 8.0 to 13.0 (10.6±1.7) years. Of the 7 patients, 3 underwent interventional embolization via arteries and veins, and 4 underwent embolization only via arteries. The embolic materials were polyvinyl alcohol granules and coils. The follow-up period was 9—18 months and the curative effect was observed.
Results:
Among the 7 patients, 4 cases of acute massive hemorrhage were effectively controlled after interventional operation, 3 cases of chronic bleeding disappeared after interventional operation. No recurrence of bleeding occurred during the follow-up period, only 1 patient presented with oral infection and gingival swelling and hyperplasia. The symptoms were effectively controlled after anti-infection and debridement. No severe complications occurred in all patients.
Conclusion
Interventional therapy for ateriovenous malformation with hemorrhage is effective, safe and feasible, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To explore the associations between cesarean section with different types and intensity of physical activity in the second trimester pregnant women. Methods Six hundred and seventy-two participants from the Chinese pregnant women cohort study ( CPWCS) were analyzed. The pregnancy physical activity questionnaire ( PPAQ) was used to collect the status of physical activities in pregnant women. The participants were followed up and the data of delivery way was collected. Logistic regression model was conducted to analyze the associations. Results A total of 273 pregnant women ( 40. 63%) were delivered by cesarean section. After adjusting age,pre-pregnancy BMI and history of childbirth,results of Logistic regression model showed that pregnant women with higher levels of exercise had a lower risk of cesarean section than those who did not participate in exercise ( OR= 0. 564,95% CI: 0. 338-0. 941) . In terms of physical activity intensity,pregnant women who participated in the higher level of moderate to vigorous physical activity had a lower risk of cesarean section than those who partici- pated in the lower level ( OR= 0.642,95% CI: 0.437-0.972) . Conclusions Exercise and moderate to vigorous physical activity are protective factors for cesarean section. Health education should be further strengthened to encourage pregnant women to carry out appropriate physical activity during pregnancy.

OBJECTIVETo explore the method of digestive tract reconstruction and postoperative management in the upper abdominal multivisceral transplantation (MVT).
METHODSThe data of a pancreatic cancer patient with multiple liver metastases, undergone the first upper abdominal MVT in Asia on May 2004, was investigated retrospectively.
RESULTSDuring the operation, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, duodenum, part of jejunum, total stomach, greater and lesser omentum, and spleen were all resected from the recipient. Roux-en-Y procedure was adopted for the reconstruction of digestive tract, including closing the proximal end of donor duodenum, anastomosing recipient jejunum with horizontal part of donor duodenum, transecting the jejunum 35 cm from the anastomosis, end-to-side anastomosing the distal cut end of jejunum with the end of esophagus, and end-to-side anastomosing proximal cut jejunum with jejunum 50 cm away from esophageal anastomosis. Drainage tube was left inside duodenum and jejunum stoma was made for nutrient canal.The endocrine of pancreas was suppressed by the use of somatostatin postoperatively. Removing of nasogastric tube and duodenum draining tube were delayed. Bowel function recovered 4 days postoperatively and gradually resumed ordinary diet. One month after operation, the patient had no other complications except diarrhea.
CONCLUSIONThe success of upper abdominal MVT supplies precious experience in digestive tract construction and postoperative management.

Objective To explore the association between unhealthy diets and depression in early pregnancy. Methods 7 976 women in early pregnancy were recruited and analyzed in this study from the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study (CPWCS) from July 25th, 2017 to July 24th, 2018. Differences of baseline characteristics between the two groups were conducted by a chi-square test. The qualitative food frequency questionnaire and the edinburgh postnatal depression scale were used to assess depression status and food intake frequency during the first trimester respectively. Log-binomial regression was used to analyze the relationship between unhealthy diets and depression in early pregnancy. Prevalence ratio (PR) and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. Results Eating regularly (PR=0.45, 95% CI:0.38-0.54,P<0.001) and eating breakfast frequently (PR=0.80, 95% CI:0.72-0.90, P<0.001) were related to the low incidence of depression while frequent consumption of fried food (PR=1.25, 95% CI:1.03-1.53, P=0.027), Western-style fast food (PR=1.36, 95% CI:1.06-1.74, P=0.015) and puffed food (PR=1.37, 95% CI:1.11-1.70, P=0.003) as well as drinking sugar-sweetened beverage (PR=1.37, 95% CI:1.17-1.61, P<0.001),wine (PR=1.60, 95% CI:1.26-2.01, P<0.001) and liqueur (PR=1.26, 95% CI:1.00-1.59, P=0.047) were linked with the high incidence of depression. Conclusions There might be an association between unhealthy diets and depression in early pregnancy. Pregnant women should take the initiative to better understand what are healthy diets and reduce the frequency of unhealthy diets consumption to decrease the incidence of depression during pregnancy.

Objective To explore the influence of reproduction history on depression during pregnancy. Methods Data on 3 792 pregnant women from the Chinese pregnant women cohort study with complete information on reproduction history and depression were used in the present study. The Edinburgh postnatal depression scale was used to assess depression status among pregnant women. A chi-square test was used for univariate analysis,and a Log-binomial regression was used for multivariate analysis. The adjusted relative risks ( RRs) with 95% confidence intervals ( 95% CIs) were calculated,and were presented in a forest plot. Results The results of Log-binomial regression showed that a history of delivery could increase the risk of depression during the second trimester ( RR: 1. 04,95% CI: 1. 01 - 1. 08,P= 0. 042) and the third trimester ( RR: 1. 05,95% CI: 1. 01-1. 10,P= 0. 020) . There was a 6% increase of risk on depression in women with a history of cesarean delivery compared with women without that during the third trimester ( RR: 1. 06,95% CI: 1. 01-1. 11,P = 0. 041) . Conclusions There is asignificant influence of reproduction history on gestational depression. Maternal and child health personnel should focus on these pregnant women,and conduct targeted health education and mental nursing. In addition,medical personnel should also pay attention to the emotional changes of these women and provide them with several adjustment strategies.
