Lateral habenula ( LHb ) , which is situated in the dorsal diencephalon of all vertebrates, is an important component of the habenular complex. The neural network outlined in previ-ous studies indicates that LHb acts not only as an important relay station to link the forebrain with the midbrain regions that in-volved in regulating behavioral responses to reward and mediating the transmassion of negative feedback information, but also is closely connected with 5-HT system. Indeed, recently studies demonstrate that experimental manipulations of LHb are followed by behavioural alterations in relation to drug addiction, reward-a-version responses, pain, sleep, depression and so on. This arti-cle mainly reviews the mechanisms of LHb involved in all kinds of physiological activities.

Non-suicidal self-injury is common in adolescents. At present, the pathological mechanism of non-suicidal self-injury is still unclear, and there is a lack of objective biological markers in diagnosis and treatment, which is an urgent problem to be solved in clinical diagnosis and treatment. The magnetic resonance imaging is an important technique to explore the imaging mechanism of non-suicidal self-injury. The purpose of this review is to systematic evaluation of the latest research results of magnetic resonance imaging of non-suicidal self-injury. It was found that non-suicidal self-injury in people without other mental disorders showed abnormal damage in the orbitofrontal, the dorsolateral prefrontal lobe, the medial prefrontal lobe, the ventrolateral prefrontal lobe, the amygdala, the cingulate gyrus, the supramarginal gyrus, the amygdala, the hippocampus, the insular, the corpus callosum, the thalamus, the putamen, the dorsal striatum, the cuneate prefrontal lobe and the right temporal lobe. These areas are the core areas related to emotional processing, decision-making, cognition and movement. Non-suicidal self-injury with other mental disorders such as borderline personality disorder and depression may be affected by underlying diseases and exhibit different damage patterns, which showing abnormal brain regions related to emotional network, decision-making, social cognition and exercise.The results of this review can be helpful for the future study of the magnetic resonance imaging mechanism of non-suicidal self-injury.

Recent evidence has shown that neurogenesis occurs throughout adulthood, and neural stem cells reside in the adult central nervous system (CNS) in mammals. Experimental stroke in adult mammals increases neurogenesis from neural stem cells or progenitor cells located in the dentate subgranular zone and the subventricular zone lining the lateral ventricle. New neurons can migrate to the areas of damage regions and express morphological markers characteristic of died neurons. These findings bring hope for self-repair after brain injury. The author of this paper reviewed the adult neurogenesis and its regulation in vivo, and described evidence for stroke-induced neurogenesis and neuronal replacement in the adult, and discussed the future research directions about neurogenesis after stroke and other brain injuries.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic mesh repair of parastomal hernia. Methods Laparoscopic mesh repair was performed in 7 patients with parasromal hernia from September 2004 to December 2005 in this hospital.Results Laparoscopic mesh herniorrhaphy was successfully performed in 6 patients, while a conversion to open herniorrhaphy was required in 1 patient because of extensive intraperitoneal adhesion. The operating time was 45~180 mi (mean, 109 min), and the hernial diameter was 4~6 cm (mean, 5.6 cm). Transient abdominal distention happened in 2 patients. Five patients complained of a pain in operative area within 3 weeks. Seroma occurred in 4 patients and was cured by needle aspiration and pressure bandaging for 2~ 4 times. No hematoma or surgery-related infection was seen. The length of postoperative hospital stay was 3~8 d (mean, 5.1 d). Postoperative follow-up for 2~15 months (mean, 8.3 months) revealed no recurrence. Conclusions Laparoscopic mesh repair of parastomal hernia is safe, effective, and feasible.

Objective To explore the causes and treatments for complications of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.Methods A total of 110 patients with incisional hernia(42 men and 68 women,aged 33 to 89 years with a mean of 65)were treated with laparoscopic mesh repair in our hospital from March 2004 to May 2007.The clinical records of the patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results The laparoscopic repair was completed in all of the patients expect in one,who was converted to open surgery because of intraperitoneal adhesion.After the operation,15(13.6%)patients developed abdominal distension,86(78.2%)had severe pain in the operative area(not less than 6 weeks in 2 cases),23(20.9%)had seroma,6(5.4%)had urinary retention,2(1.8%)had acute gastric dilation,2(1.8%)had intestinal fistula,2(1.8%)had respiratory dysfunction,and 2(1.8%)showed recurrence of the hernia.Conclusion Most of the complications of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair are caused by insufficient preoperative preparation,intraperitoneal adhesion,difficulty in exposure of the visual field,improper use of electrocoagulation,small-sized masses,or weak fixation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of gasless laparoscopy for totally extraperitoneal(TEP) hernia repair.Methods Between April and August 2007,totally 82 patients with inguinal hernia received TEP in our hospital,in 30 of them the surgery was completed with gasless laparoscopy,while in the other 52,pneumoperitoneum was used for the operation.The operation time,medical cost,hospital stay,complications,and follow-up data of the two groups were compared.Results The gasless group had a longer operation time [(65.3?19.4) min vs(43.6?21.9) min,t=4.501,P=0.000],but less medical cost [(6186.7?1283.7) RMB vs(8391.8?850.8) RMB,t=-9.347,P=0.000].No significantly difference was observed in the hospital stay and rate of complications between the two groups [(2.1?0.8) d vs(1.8?0.9) d,t=1.513,P=0.134;and 6.7%(2/30) vs 5.8%(3/52),?2=0.027,P=0.870].Conclusion Gasless laparoscopy is effective and safe for totally extraperitoneal(TEP) hernia repair.

Objective To detect the effect of Guided Relaxation Method with Music on pain sensitivity and hemodynamics in acupuncture.Methods 70 volunteers aged 18 to 22, all in good condition, were randomized to study group or control group (each 35).In the control group, volunteers were only treated with acupuncture in a routine way while volunteers in the study group were treated with acupuncture using Guided Relaxation Method with Music .Comparing the change of heart rate and blood pressure before and after the experiment, and the pain sensitivity between these two groups.Results By comparing the two groups, it showed that there were no significant differences in heart rate, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure level(p>0.05).Numerical rat-ing scale scores in study group was much lower (p<0.001), and systolic blood pressure level after the experiment decreased more significantly than that in the control group (p<0.05).However, no significant differences can be seen in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure level after the experiment (p>0.05).Conclusion Guided Relaxation Method with Music could help to alleviate the feeling of pain, and make acupuncture therapy more acceptable.

ObjectiveTo compare the influence of laparoscopic and abdominal hysterectomy on cellular immune function. Methods There were 28 patientsreceived laparoscopic hysterectomy (laparoscopic group) and 28 patients treated with abdominal hysterectomy (abdominal group).The surgical effects and the changes of preoperative and postoperative T lymphocyte subsets of two groups were compared.ResultsThe intraoperative blood loss,anal exhaust time,hospital stay and postoperative morbidity of the laparoscopic group were significantly better than those of the laparotomy group[ (84.7 ± 21.7) ml vs.( 108.0 ± 23.8) ml,(19.3 ±4.1) h vs.(23.8 ±3.8) h,(5.12 ± 1.14) d vs.(7.81 ±2.27) d,7.1％ (2/28) vs.17.9％(5/28),P ＜ 0.05 ].CD4 and CD8 in the 1st day after operation of two groups were significantly lower than that before surgery respectively [ laparoscopic group:(38.41 ± 5.52)％ vs.( 40.72 ± 6.46)％,(24.41 ± 3.78 )％ vs.(26.33 ± 4.17)％ ;abdominal group:(38.41 ± 4.97)％ vs.(40.13 ± 6.12)％,(24.41 ±6.32)％ vs.(26.25 ±4.56)％,P ＜ 0.05 ]; but CD4 and CD8 in the 3rd day after operation in the laparoscopic group[ (40.15 ±6.29)％,(27.23 ± 5.12)％] almost returned to normal level before surgery,while CD4 and CD8 in the 3rd day after operation in the abdominal group [ (36.15 ± 5.12)％,(23.15 ± 4.87 )％] still had significant differences compared with that before surgery(P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsLaparoscopic hysterectomy with less blood loss,rapid postoperative recovery,fewer complications and less impact on cellular immune function,is superior to abdominal hysterectomy.Therefore,it deserves promotion and wide application.
