Objective To investigate the clinical application effects of gabapentin in the treatment of recurrent trigeminal neuralgia.Methods 68 patients with recurrent trigeminal neuralgia were chosen as study subjects,and they were divided into control group and research group according to the digital table.The research group was treated with gabapentin,the control group was treated with carbamazepine.After treatment for 4 weeks,the clinical effects,life satisfactory index,pain,drug dosage and adverse reaction between the two group were compared.Results Each group had 32 patients completed the study.The total effective rate of the research group was higher than that of the control group(68.75% vs.59.37%),the difference was not statistically significant(x2 =0.611,P <0.05).The average gabapentin dosage in the research group was higher than the average carbamazepine dosage in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =11.278,P < 0.05).Before treatment,the VAS scores between the two groups had no statistically significant difference (t =0.153,P > 0.05).At 7 d after treatment,the VAS scores in the research group was lower than that in the control group [(4.09 ± 0.83) points vs.(4.63 ± 0.79) points],the difference was statistically significant (t =2.666,P < 0.05).At 14 d and 28 d after treatment,the VAS scores between the two groups had no statistically significant difference (t =1.527,0.352,all P > 0.05).Before treatment and 7 d after treatment,the life satisfaction index B (LSI-B) scores between the two groups had no statistically significant difference(t =0.049,0.224,all P > 0.05).At 14 d and 28 d after treatment,LSI-B scores in the two groups were both increased,which in the research group was higher than taht in the control group[14 d:(15.09 ± 3.68) points vs.(12.91 ± 3.45) points,28 d:(16.48 ± 3.43) points vs.(13.35 ± 3.14) points],the differences were statistically different(t =2.445,3.808,all P < 0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reaction of the research group was lower than that of the control group(15.63% vs.37.50%),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =3.925,P < 0.05).Conclusion Gabapentin has similar treatment effects in recurrent trigeminal neuralgia as carbamazepin,and gabapentin has better improvement in patients'life quality,and with better safety.

Objective:To compare the preliminary clinical effect of mitral valve replacement and mitral valvuloplasty on hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with mitral regurgitation.Methods:From January 2010 to December 2013, the patients undergoing cardiac surgery at Bakulev Cardiovascular Surgery Research Center in Russia were randomly divided into two groups: Forty-one patients received left ventricular outflow tract hypertrophy myocardial resection (Morrow operation) combined with mitral valve replacement (MVR) as MVR group; Forty-seven patients received Morrow surgery combined with mitral valve repair (MVr) as MVr group.The primary end point: death, secondary end point: thrombosis complications (cerebral infarction, peripheral arterial embolism), recurrence of mitral regurgitation and left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference were compared between the two groups.Results:In the MVr group, 6 cases were converted to MVR and were excluded from the study.The survival rates of MVR group and MVR group were 78.9% and 96.6%, respectively , and the thromboembolic free survival rates of MVR group and MVr group were 83.2% and 100%, respectively. The differences were statistically significant( P=0.034, 0.026, respectively). There was no significant difference in mitral regurgitation and left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference between MVR group and MVR group 24 months after operation( P=1.000, 0.934, respectively). Conclusion:Operation combined with MVR or MVr is an effective method to relieve left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and mitral regurgitation. Morrow operation combined with MVr can improve survival rate and reduce thrombosis complications.
