Objective To study the effects of treating limbs pain of patients with depression after cerebral apoplexy with self-designed hemiparalysis-washing formula.Methods 80 patients with limbs pain after cerebral apoplexy in our hospital from May 2013 to November 2013 were recruited into a control group and a treatment group randomly,40 patients in each group.The control group was treated with 30mg edamvone and 100ml 0.9% sodium chloride or 0.5% glucose injection,Ⅳ in 30min,and twice daily.Meanwhile,regular functional rehabilitation training was adopted for the patients.The treatment group was additional treated with self-designed hemiparalysis-washing formula on the basis of the control group.VAS,HAMD-24,MESSS,STREAM and therapeutic effects were evaluated in both groups after one month treatment.Results ① clinical therapeutic effects comparison:the total effective rate was 90% and 70% in the treatment group and the control group respectively,with statistical difference between the two groups (t=3.58,P< 0.01).② VAS,HAMD-24,MESSS,STREAM comparison:VAS,HAMD-24,MESSS,STREAM score was (2.28 ± 0.54)、(11.34 ± 3.02)、(13.49±4.27)、(44.76±20.71)in the treatment group respectively,and(2.90 ± 0.75) 、(14.24 ± 3.35)、(17.55 ±4.91) 、(34.56 ±15.56) in the control group respectively.Both groups showed obviously improvement than the before treatment,and the effects were better in the treatment group than the control group (all P<0.05).Conclusion Self-designed hemiparalysis-washing formula improve limbs pain in patients with cerebral apoplexy and relieve their depression.

Objective To investigate the Video?Electroencephalography(VEEG)characteristics and abnormal rate among healthy elderly. Meth?ods According to the age,120 healthy elders were divided into groups A,B,and C. Group A has 57 subjects,aged 60?69 years old;group B has 42 people,aged 70?79 years;group C has 21 individuals,aged≥80 years. Chi square and Rank sum test were used to calculate abnormal rate of VEEG. Additionally,characteristics of alpha、slow wave and Iconic sleep wave were analyzed. Result The total abnormal rate of VEEG was 42.5%, and it was particularly high(76.2%)among elderly over 80s. Frequency,amplitude,reactivity of Alpha wave and alpha index decreased as age in?creased. Theta slow wave increased as age increased,abnormal frontal area theta showed an increase among elderly over 80 s. Each sleep cycle iconic sleep wave was gradually decreased in the elderly. No statistical difference was found about sleep spindles and vertex sharp among different groups . Positive occipital sharp transients of sleep(POSTS)decreased as age increased. There was no POSTS among elderly over 80 s. Conclusion Our re?sults showed that abnormal rate is increased in the elderly,while reactivity variation,slow alpha frequency,alpha amplitude,alpha index are de?creased. In addition,the slow waves in frontal area is increased,. sleep cycles becomes less distinct,and the typical wave are decreased.
