Heart failure (HF) is accompanied by an autonomic imbalance that is always characterized by increased sympathetic activity and depressed vagal activity. The imbalance of the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and vagal activity leads to further worsening of heart failure. This is the underlying mechanism by which β-adrenergic antagonists have been used in clinic to slow progression of disease, improve symptoms, and increase patient survival. Additionally, both animal experiments and clinical studies showed that the cardiac sympathetic nerve block could effectively improve the function of heart failure, and showed that vagal stimu-lation had beneficial effects on heart failure, and may be a possible novel therapy for heart failure. Key words: Sympathetic nervous; Vagal nervous; β-receptor; Heart failure; Cardiac sympathetic denervation; Vagal stimulation

Phantom limb phenomenon (PLP) almost occurred on every patient who suffered ampu- tation surgery.The incidence of phantom limb pain was reported about 60%-70% of the PLP.The etio- pathogenesis of phantom limb pain remains unclear.However,both peripheral and central neural mecha- nisms have been described,along with superimposed psychological mechanisms.Recently,cortical reorgani- zation after amputation is recognized as another important central neural mechanism of phantom limb pain. While numerous treatments have been described,there is a little evidence supporting drug therapy,nerve block,surgery techniques,and psychological therapy.Until today,there is no unified recognition about the etiopathogenesis and treatments of phantom limb pain.

The anatomy of stellate ganglion block (SGB), its mechanism of therapeutic effect, methods of therapy are intraduced. The applications of treatments with SGB,especially in the field of pains such as Raynaud's syndrome,facial neuritis,herpes zoster,et al are discussed in detail.
