Objective: To study the effect of early rehabilitation on motor function of upper and lower extremities and activities of daily living(ADL) in patients with hemiplegia after stroke; and to observe whether motor function recovery of upper and lower extremities is different. Method: 96 patients were randomly divided into two groups, rehabilitation group (48 cases) and control group(48 cases). Prospective method was used in this study. Patients in the rehabilitation group were given clinical treatment and regular rehabilitation training, while those in control group were given clinical treatment and unguided self- training. The evaluation was done in pre- treatment and post- treatment(6- 8 weeks) respectively.Motor function was assessed in Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA), ADL assessed in Barthel Index. Result: The motor scores (measured by FMA) and ADL scores (measured by Barthel index) in the two groups were improved after 6-8 weeks treatment, but there was a significant difference between the two groups, the scores in the rehabilitation group were obviously superior to those in the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ). The mean of the Fugl-Meyer Scale (transferred to percentage of maximal motor scores) of the lower extremities was higher than that of the upper extremities pre-and post-treatment (P＜0.01). However, the improvement degree of FMA scores between upper and lower extremity had no statistical difference (P＞0.05). Conclusion:Early rehabilitation training of the patients with stroke hemiplegia may obviously improve motor function of the limbs and raise ADL scores. However, the degree of improvement in upper and lower extremity is similar in the first two months after early training.

In order to understand the natural evalution of the motor function and the activities of daily living(ADL) in post stroke patients,and to provide scientific basis for the early treatment and rehabilitation training of the stroke patients,the motor function and ADL of 150 stroke patients without systematic rehabilitation training were evaluated at 5-6 week and 6 month of post stroke,respectively.The results showed that most patients had functional improvements.The functional recovery of upper limbs and especially hands was worse than that of lower limbs.The average ADL scores increased from 59.80 to 69.54,but the improvements were unsatisfactory.The results suggested that it is necessary to carry on the early rehabilitation training for the stroke patients fo that the patients motor function and ADL could improve more quickly and better to greater degree.

Objective To study the effect of early rehabilitation on motor function of upper and lower extremities and activities of daily living(ADL) in hemiplegics after stroke.Methods96 patients were randomly divided into two groups, rehabilitation group(48 cases) and control group(48 cases). Prospective method was used in this study. Patients in the rehabilitation group were given clinical treatment and regularly rehabilitation training, while those in control group were given clinical treatment and unguided self training, and the evaluation was done in pre treatment and post treatment(68 weeks) respectively. Motor function was assessed in Brunnstrom Grade, ADL assessed in Barthel Index. Results The motor scores (measured by Brunnstrom criteria) and ADL scores (measured by Barthel Index) in the two groups rised after 68 weeks treatment, but there was a significant difference between the two groups,i.e., the scores in the rehabilitation group were obviously superior to those in the control group(P<0.01). ConclusionEarly rehabilitation training on hemiplegics after stroke may obviously improve motor function of the limbs and rise ADL scores.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasonic cardiac output monitor(USCOM) in guiding perioperative hemodynamic management of neonatal gastrointestinal surgery.Methods:Seventy-five neonates with hemodynamic changes after gastrointestinal surgery admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Xiamen Children′s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were enrolled, of which the non-USCOM group had 34 cases from January 2017 to December 2018, mainly based on clinical indicators such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood lactate acid to evaluate the hemodynamic status of children after surgery.The USCOM group had 41 cases from January 2019 to December 2020, used USCOM to assist in the evaluation of hemodynamics of children after surgery dynamic state.Another 40 cases were set up as the control group, included neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.The USCOM group and the control group were examined by USCOM to record cardiac output(CO), cardiac index(CI), and systemic vascular resistance(SVR). The changes in CO, CI, SVR between the USCOM group and the control group, the changes in USCOM group before and after the operation were compared, respectively.Changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and lactic acid in the USCOM group before and after the operation were compared.And the differences of vasoactive drug dosage and time of first use after operation, postoperative first expansion time, volume expansion, incidence of anuria or oliguria within 24 hours after operation, and length of hospital stay between USCOM group and non-USCOM group were analyzed.Results:The CO, CI, SVR, heart rate, blood pressure before operation in USCOM group were not significantly different compared with those in the control group and 12 h after the operation.The CO and CI in USCOM group at 1 h after operation were lower than those before operation, and the lactic acid increased, the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). The SVR of USCOM group at 1 h after operation was higher than that before operation, but there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). The CO and CI at 12 h after operation in USCOM group were higher than those at 1 h after operation, and the SVR at 12 h was lower than that at 1 h after operation , the differences were all statistically significant( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in heart rate and blood pressure in USCOM group before and 1 h after operation ( P>0.05). The blood pressure at 12 h after operation was significantly higher than that at 1 h after operation( P<0.05). The time of first volume expansion and use of vasoactive drugs in USCOM group were significantly earlier than those in non-USCOM group[0.75(0.50, 1.37)h vs.7.00(5.00, 13.25)h, Z=-7.041, P<0.001; (1.39±1.33)h vs.(8.61±5.15)h, t=-7.917, P<0.001], the total volume of expansion was significantly reduced[17.50(10.00, 30.00)mL vs.30.00(20.00, 30.00)mL, t=-3.045, P=0.002], the dosage of dopamine was significantly reduced[8.40(6.20, 10.40)mg/kg vs.8.90(7.20, 14.40)mg/kg, Z=-2.475, P=0.013], the incidence of oliguria or anuria within 24 hours after operation was significantly reduced(12.2% vs.32.3%, t=4.500, P=0.034), the length of hospital stay was significantly shortened[25.00(15.50, 31.00)d vs.28.00(21.75, 34.00)d, Z=-1.985, P=0.047], and the dosage of dobutamine and epinephrine was not significantly changed( P>0.05). Conclusion:Non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring can monitor the hemodynamic changes of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract in real time during the perioperative period, which is helpful to guide the management of vasoactive drugs and fluids after surgery.

Objective:To investigate the concern about pollen broadcasting in Chinese population from multiple dimensions and to understand the information about allergic rhinitis (AR) in China by analyzing related factors.Methods:From March 1 to September 30, 2022, a large-scale multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted based on the Questionnaire Star platform in 21 Chinese hospitals. A total of 7 056 subjects from 7 regions in China: Northeast, North, East, Central, South, Southwest, and Northwest China were included. Basic characteristics (including social demographic characteristics and disease characteristics of AR patients), concern about pollen broadcasting, the willingness of pollen-induced AR (PiAR) patients to receive pollen broadcasting, and the treatment satisfaction rate of AR patients were collected. The chi-square test, multivariate linear regression model, and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the concern about pollen broadcasting in the Chinese population and related factors from multiple dimensions.Results:Among 7 056 subjects, 23.02% were concerned about pollen broadcasting. Among 3 176 self-reported AR and 1 019 PiAR patients, 25.60% and 39.16% were concerned about pollen broadcasting, respectively, which was higher than that of non-AR or non-PiAR subjects ( χ2 value was 21.74 and 175.11, respectively, both P<0.001). Among AR patients, the proportion of spring and autumn allergen-positive patients concerned about pollen broadcasting was higher than that in perennial allergen-positive patients ( χ2 value was 20.90 and 19.51, respectively, both P<0.001). The proportion of AR patients with asthma, sinusitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was higher than those without complications ( χ2 value was 50.83, 21.97, 56.78, 7.62, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of AR patients in North China who could find pollen broadcasting locally was 31.01%, significantly higher than those in other regions (all P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that among PiAR patients, those with higher per capita household income and higher AR disease cognition levels had been concerned about pollen broadcasting in the past, and those complicated with allergic conjunctivitis had stronger intention to receive pollen broadcasting (B value was 0.24, 0.13, 0.66, 0.47, respectively, all P<0.05). The higher the disease cognition level of PiAR patients, the stronger their willingness to actively participate in treatment ( R2=0.72, P<0.001). Only 18.89% of AR patients felt satisfied with the treatment effect. Logistic regression analysis showed that in AR patients, the treatment satisfaction rate was significantly higher among those concerned about pollen broadcasting compared to those who were not ( OR=1.83, P<0.001). Conclusions:Currently, the dissemination of pollen broadcasting in China is hindered by various factors such as disease cognition level. The treatment satisfaction among AR patients remains unsatisfactory.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of 1-bromopropane (1-BP) on liver and kidney functions of exposed workers.

METHODSOccupational health situation in three 1-BP plants was investigated. Fifty-four workers from the 1-BP manufacturing line were chose to be contact group, while 42 workers from non-1-BP manufacturing line as control group. All workers underwent questionnaire survey, liver function test as well as kidney function test.

RESULTWorking years has no impact on liver and kidney functions of workers from contact group. Compared with the control, liver and kidney functions test of the two groups showed no statistical difference either.

CONCLUSIONThe present investigation doesn't prove any impact of occupational 1-BP exposure on worker's liver and kidney functions.
