RESUMO
AIM:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of treating chronic schizophrenia with ginkgo leaf capsule combined with comprehensive rehabilitation training. METHODS:110 chronic schizophrenia patients who had been treated with systemic antipsychotic for more than 12 weeks with unsatisfactory therapeutic effects and a long history of hospitalization were enrolled in this study. Ginkgo leaf capsule combined with comprehensive rehabilitation training was applied for 12 weeks and the therapeutic effects were evaluated. The positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) and treatment emergent symptom scale(TESS) for the side effects that needed to be treated during treating were used to evaluate the therapeutic effects and side effects. RESULTS:The treatment of ginkgo leaf capsule combined with comprehensive rehabilitation training was effective for the chronic schizophrenia patients with a long history of hospitalization,the total clinical effective rate was 96.36% and the cure rate together with the apparent rate was 67.27%,which were significantly better. CONCLUSION:Ginkgo leaf capsule improves the therapeutic effects of antipsychotic in the treatment of chronic schizophrenia and reduces the side effects,so it is a safe and effective drug for treating the chronic schizophrenia patients with a long history of hospitalization.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of temporary and permanent sensory disturbance of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) of the mandible.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>14 patients were selected for this study. Before BSSO and at 1 week, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after BSSO, the sensibility of bilateral inferior alveolar nerves were examined using sharp-blunt testing, 2-point discrimination, electronic pain response test (ZGK-1 electrometer).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>With conventional sharp-blunt and 2-point discrimination test, electronic pain response test, the incidence of temporary impairment of IAN after BSSO was 78% (22/28). Obvious sensory recovery of IAN was found 6 to 12 months postoperatively. Permanent sensory disturbance of unilateral inferior alveolar nerve occurred in 2 patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Sensory recovery of the inferior alveolar nerve after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible would take 6 to 12 months. Serious injury of the IAN would cause permanent neurosensory deficits.</p>
