Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2012;18(10):976-979
Objective To explore the effects of catheter balloon dilatation therapy on cricopharyngeal achaiasia in patients with stroke and 1 year follow-up study. Methods 28 cases of dysphagia caused by stroke were diagnosed as cricopharyngeal achalasia through videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). A l4# urethral catheter was used to insert into the esophagus and an amount of water was injected into the balloon of urethral catheter to make it turgid. Then the catheter was pulled upwards and passed through the stricture of esophagus to dilatate the cricopharygeus muscle. At the same time, vitalstim low frequency electrical stimulation was used and combined with routine dysphagia rehabilitation training once daily. The treatment end point was either the patient resuming an oral diet or after 6 weeks of treatment. All cases were evaluated by swallowing function and VFSS before and after treatment and followed after 1 year of treatment. Results After catheter balloon dilatations therapy, 22 patients regained the ability to take solid food and water orally, 24 of them could take pasty food. There was significant difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment (P<0.01). The time of bolus passing the pharynx significantly shortened from 0.22 s to 0.14 s after treatment. The scores of VFSS significantly increased after treatment (P<0.01). VFSS showed that the total effective rate was 89.28%. 1 year after treatment, 23 patients could take solid food and water orally, and 12 patients approach to normal in the time passing the pharynx and VFSS score. Conclusion Catheter balloon dilatation has long-term effect on cricopharyngeal achalasia caused by stroke.

Objective This study aims to investigate the moral disgust cognitive processing of patients with obses?sive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and its relationship with OCD symptoms. Methods Twenty-eight OCD and 30 healthy controls matched for gender, age and education completed lexical decision task, recording reaction time and accuracy of words and assessing the degree of disgust. Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) and Padua Invento?ry-Washington State University Revision (PI-WUSR) were used to assess the symptoms. Results OCD group showed significantly longer reaction time to core disgust-related words [(762.69 ± 128.25) ms vs. (648.69 ± 162.66) ms] and moral disgust-related words [(798.73 ± 115.26) ms vs. (727.00 ± 106.06) ms] than the healthy controls (P<0.05). OCD group showed significantly higher aversion degree to core disgust-related words [(6.38 ± 1.78) vs. (5.03 ± 1.64)] and moral dis?gust-related words [(7.08 ± 1.23) vs. (5.77 ± 1.44)] than control group (P<0.05). Y-BOCS total score, Y-BOCS obsessive thoughts score, Y-BOCS compulsive behavior score, total score of PI-WUSR, cleaning/pollution force factor score, hurt?ing themselves and others force factor were positively correlated with two types of disgust-related words in patients group (P<0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis between disgust words and Y-BOCS/PI-WUSR scores pointed that only CWCF influenced disgust degree of core disgust-related words (β=0.61, P<0.01) and moral disgust-related words (β=0.54, P<0.01), respectively. Conclusion The core disgust and moral disgust of OCD are stronger compared to controls.

Objective This study aimed to explore issues about dysandia female during pregnancy,peripartum and contraception and to supply reference for their reproductive health improvement. Methods Purposive sampling strategy was used. With the aid of an interview guide, 12 dysaudia women who met inclu-sion and exclusion criteria were invited to be interviewed. Interviews were recorded, validated and then ana-lyzed. Results Four themes were generated, limited knowledge, passive information acquisition, total depen-dence on family and reluctant to talk about contraception. Total dependence on family was noticeable during pregnancy and peripartum. Though little was known about health protection related to pregnancy, peripartum and contraception, participants were passive at seeking for relevant information. Conclusions Deaf women may experience more threats to reproductive health in relation to pregnancy, peripartum and contraception that they require more guidance and assistance.
