Outcomes were assessed at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery by Clinical Global Impression-Global Improvement (CGI-GI). Before and 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery, severities were assessed by Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-SI); cognition was assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA); positive and negative symptoms were evaluated by Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS); psychotic symptoms were evaluated by Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90); obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and manic symptoms were assessed by Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms Scale (Y-BOCS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), respectively; social functioning and quality of survival were evaluated by Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS) and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref Form (WHOQOL-BREF).Results:(1) Increased sleep was noted in 47 patients and fatigue in 38 patients within 1 week after surgery. Behavioral laziness and emotional apathy were still presented at 1 month after surgery in 6 patients, and complications disappeared in the rest patients. Mildly reduced initiative was presented at 12 months after surgery in 5 patients. (2) CGI-GI indicated that 149 patients were followed up 1 month after surgery with an overall efficiency of 85.90%; 135 patients were followed up at 6 months after surgery with an overall efficiency of 83.21%, 106 patients were followed up at 12 months after surgery with an overall efficiency of 79.24%, and 63 patients were followed up at 24 months after surgery with an overall efficiency of 80.95%. (3) Compared with those before surgery, significantly lower BPRS scores, significantly lower PANSS positive, negative, and overall scores, statistically lower BAI, BDI-II, YMRS, and MOAS scores, significantly lower Y-BOCS obsessional thinking, compulsive behavior and total scores, significantly higher WHOQOL-BREF (physical and psychological domains) scores, and significantly lower SDSS and SCL-90 scores were noted in patients at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery ( P<0.05). (4) At 12 months after surgery, withdrawal drug was noted in 13 patients, reduced drug in 38, same dose in 52, and increased drug in 2 patients. Conclusion:Stereotactic surgery can obviously improve obsession, anxiety, depression, mania and aggression, and modify social functioning and quality of survival in patients with refractory mental disorders, enjoying good safety.

Hepatic fibrosis （HF） is a pathological process of abnormal repair of liver tissue structure caused by chronic liver injury， and its pathogenesis has not been fully clarified. Related studies have shown that programmed cell death may be associated with the onset of HF， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a significant effect in regulating programmed cell death to intervene against HF. This article reviews the main mechanism of the influence of programmed cell death on HF and discusses the possible mechanism of TCM regulation of programmed cell death in improving HF， which provides new ideas for TCM prevention and treatment of HF.

Pancreatic surgery is characterized by great trauma, difficult operation, high risk and high complication rate. Minimally invasive, refined and standardized pancreatic surgery is the future trend. With its advantages of high precision, high safety, and more realistic and clear operating field, robotic pancreatic surgery has gradually become the preferred method of pancreatic surgery worldwide. In the past 10 years, more than a dozen large pancreas centers in China have matured to carry out robotic pancreatic surgery, including pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreaticocaudectomy, pancreatic tumor enucleation, middle pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy, pancreaticodectomy with duodenum preserved and other pancreatic surgery methods. However, there are still some problems in robotic pancreatic surgery, such as complex system construction, lack of force feedback, inadequate imaging fusion, and immature remote operation. Pancreatic surgeons should continue to carry out high-quality clinical studies on robotic pancreatic surgery to verify its safety and effectiveness, and standardize robotic pancreatic surgery with the accumulation of experience.

Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant tumor in the digestive tract, and the difficulty of early diagnosis and the lack of effective treatment means are the main reasons for the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer. In recent years, multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) has become an important means to break through the bottleneck of diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer and improve clinical prognosis. Besides providing patients with high-quality diagnosis and treatment services, this treatment model helps to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment level of specialists and cultivate high-quality compound medical talents. It also highlights clinical research groups and high-quality case resource sharing, and promotes the clinical application of innovative drugs and new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, which plays an essential role in increasing the core competence of hospitals. This paper reviews and summarizes the origin, status quo, and deficiencies of the MDT diagnosis and treatment model of pancreatic cancer in China, and examines the prospects for future development, with the aim to provide reference for domestic and foreign counterparts.

To investigate the differences in postoperative short-term complications and long-term prognosis of pancreatic cancer(PC) patients after total pancreatectomy(TP) and pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).
