Objective To explore the effect of drug injection in muscle motor points on children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods 230 children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into control group and observation group, with 115 cases in each group. The control group received comprehensive rehabilitation including functional training, physical therapy and medicine, while the observation group received injection of vitamin B1 and vitamin B12 in muscle motor points in addition. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), mental development index (MDI) and psychomoter developmental index (PDI) of CDCC Infant Me Ntal Development Scale. Results The gross motor function improved, MAS score decreased, the scores of MDI and PDI increased after treatment (P<0.01) in both groups, which were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Drug injection in muscle motor points can improve the gross motor function, relieve spasm, and improve intelligence development of children with spastic cerebral palsy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of functional point injection on upper limbs disorder in cerebral palsy infants. Methods120 cases were divided into 2 groups and each with 60 cases. The treatment group was given rehabilitation and functional point injection (injecting VitB1>, VitB12 in the acu-points selected at the disorder muscles) and the control group was given rehabilitation alone. All the cases were assessed with Peabody Developmental Motor Scale Fine Motor (PDMS-FM) and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). ResultsThe scores of both PDMS-FM and MAS improved in the treatment group compared with the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionFunctional point injection can improve the recovery of upper limbs disorder in cerebral palsy infants.

ObjectiveTo explore the state of misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis and excesseive diagnosis related to cerebral palsy(CP).Methods389 cases were retrospectively analyzed who were misdiagnosed, missed or escessively diagnosed related to CP as the first diagnosis in the inpatient and outpatient department from July 1999 to March 2010.ResultsAmong 389 cases, 156 cases were missed or misdiagnosed as nutritional disease, and 118 cases of other diseases were misdiagnosed as CP, while 115 cases who were normal children was excessively diagnosed as CP. The false diagnosis had relativity with children's age: doctors are more prone to make misdiagonsis when the children's age are smaller, while 293 cases were misdiagnosed before 12 months old (75.3%); 102 cases (65.4%) were misdiagnosed or missed as other diseases before September, 2004, while 87 cases (75.7%) were excessively diagnosed as CP after September, 2004. Frequency of misdiagnosis as CP reduced from 2004, and the proportion dropped from 55.9% to 44.1%.ConclusionIt is very important to master the diagnostic standard of CP. Both sides of the question are important, one side is to make early diagnosis and early treatment in order to achieve the best effect of rehabilitation, and the other side is to prevent misdiagnosis and excessive diagnosis which woud delay illness, or waste medical resources, increase the financial and psychological burden.
