Developing nationality medicine,to research the relationship between theory of Yi nationality medicine and correlated theories of traditional Chinese medicine. Panzhihua city is located in the juncture of Sichuan and Yunnan,and the Yi nationality inhabitants are more,so to understand and develop the Yi nationality medicine is very necessary.This question for discussion though the methods of investigating and studying on the spot and literatures collecting et al,found the characteristics and shortages of theory of Yi nationality medicine as well as the similarities and differences of theory of Yi nationality medicine and correlated theories of traditional Chinese medicine,and putted in discussion.Developing the Yi nationality medicine,in theory we need further excavation and unscrambling.

Objective To determine the relationship between the viral load of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in newborns with symptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.Methods The study cohort comprised 36 newborns with symptomatic congenital CMV infection.CSF from all of the patients were analyzed for the presence of CMV DNA by PCR.Audiological function were performed on them by brain stem auditory evoked potential at birth,at 6 and 12 months of age.Results (1)Of the 36 newborns,15 cases (41.7％) had positive CSF PCR result,17 cases (47.2％) had SNHL.(2) The prevalence of SNHL in the group of newborns with positive CSF PCR result was 60.0％ (9/15),and it was 38.1％ (8/21) in the group of newborns with negative CSF PCR result,there was no significant difference of the prevalence of SNHL between the two groups (P =0.194).(3) In newborns with positive CSF PCR result,the amounts of CSF CMV DNA was not different between the newborns with SNHL and normal hearing (3.35 ± 0.68 vs.3.17 ± 0.56,P =0.36).Conclusion A positive CSF PCR result and the CMV viral load of CSF did not correlate with SNHL.

Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) and phenol block in the treatment of spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Methods Four hundred and twenty children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into an experimental group (375 cases) and a control group (45 cases).The children were aged from 1 to 22 years ( average age 6 years).The children in the experimental group were treated with BTX-A block at a dosage of 55 to 350 IU (average 130.5 IU).The children in the control group were treated with a 5％ phenol solution block at a dosage of 0.5 to 4.6 ml ( average 2.2 ml).Children of both groups were given systematic functional rehabilitation training. All the children were evaluated with a physician rating scale (PRS) and the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) before and after the blocking.Effectiveness rates,effectiveness durations and side effects rates were calculated. Results Before treatment there was no significant difference in terms of motor disorder or spasticity between the 2 groups.After treatment,spasticity had been significantly reduced in both groups.The effectiveness rate was 98.4％ in the experimental group and 95.6％ in the control group,a difference which was not significant.The average effectiveness duration was ( 24.9 ± 5.76 ) weeks in the experimental group and ( 69.2 ± 13.76) weeks in the control group,significantly longer.The side effects rate was 5.33 ％ in the experimental group and 15.56％ in the control group,also a significant difference. Conclusion BTX-A could be more widely used because of its safety and credibility.

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory factor produced by T helper 17 cells and can induce a variety of chemokines which participate in the body's immunoregulation and inflammatory response.IL-17 can activate various liver cells to produce inflammatory mediators and secrete proinflammatory factors and thus regulate liver inflammation.IL-17 is upregulated in many liver diseases,such as virus hepatitis,fatty liver disease,autoimmune liver diseases,and parasite infection in the liver,and it can promote the development and progression of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer and is associated with liver failure and rejection reaction in liver transplantation.This article reviews the research advances in the role of IL-17 in liver diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for treating HBeAg positive chron-ic hepatitis B virus(HBV)carriers with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome.Methods The patients with HBeAg and HBV DNA positive,normal serum ALT and AST for successive 3 times within 1-year follow up,complicating different degrees of symptoms were included.Among them,the patients with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome according to the TCM dif-ferentiation were selected as the treatment obj ects and treated by the prescription of soothing the liver,tonifying spleen and detoxifi-cation.The changes of clinical symptoms and HBV markers after 6-month therapy were observed and followed up for 3 months for evaluating the effect persistance.348 cases were recruited,161 cases in the control group and the other 187 cases in the treatment group.Treatment group underwent traditional Chinese medicine treatment.Results 168 cases finished the therapy with the total effective rate of 80.3%(135/168),6 cases were HBeAg negative conversion and 14 cases were HBV DNA decrease greater than or equal to 2 logarithmic grades;157 patients finished 3-month follow-up and the effective rate was 80.9%(127/157),4 cases were HBeAg negative conversion and 1 1 cases were HBV DNA decrease greater than or equal to 2 logarithmic grades.The curative effect of treatment group was higher than that of control group.Conclusion The TCM prescription of soothing the liver,tonifying spleen and detoxification has definite effect for treating HBeAg positive chronic HBV carriers with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome,the symptoms can be significantly improved.

Objective To investigate the effect of B TX -A block by insulative needle to release the spasticity in cerebral palsy. MethodsFrom June 2000 to November 2002, 47 children wit h spastic cerebral palsy aged 2 to 15 years old, averaged( 6.32?2.52) years o ld were divided into an experiment group and a control group. The 33 children in the experiment group were blocked with BTX-A by insulative needles. The other 14 children in the control group were blocked with BTX-A by use of the convent ional syringe. ResultsThe spasticity in the experim ent group reduced to a larger extend than that in the control group, and the th erapeutic effect lasted longer in the experiment group. Conclusi onUsing insulative needle can improve the effect of BTX-A block.

Objective To investigate whether the curative effect of Botulinum Toxic A(BTX-A) block increased and prolonged when the dose calculated according to certain formula.Methods 15 children with cerebral palsy(CP) were appointed as the trial group and the dose of BTX-A was calculated according to the designed formula.The other 58 CP children were appointed as the control group and the BTX-A dose was determined by routine method.Results After treatment,the motor function of the children in trial group was superior to that in the control group(P<0.05) and the duration of therapeutic effect of the trial group was significantly longer than the control group(P<0.001).Conclusion BTX-A dose calculated according to the formula can increase effect and prolong the duration.

In this paper,we studied the clinical effects,side effects,doses ,dosing interval,relations between doses and effects of using Madopar in 61 children with athetoid cerebral palsy.Taking ADL Evaluation Scheme for Cerebral Palsied Children as main efficacy value,very marked statistic difference exists when two groups with or without Madopar were assessed on the third evaluation in our study,and it shows the effects of Madopar while its adverse events are mild and transient.The average and maximal initial dose is 9mg/kg/d and 26mg/kg/d respectively,and the average titration interval is one week while the shortest inetrval is a day.It can be titrated to 20mg/kg/d on average and 38mg/kg/d on maximal dose.There was no correlation between doses and effects.Suggestion was made for further investigation.

ObjectiveTo improve the assessment of the cerebral palsy (CP) children with mental retarded disability, develop their potentials and prevent further psycho-psychotics disability.Methods220 children with CP were assessed respectively before and after rehabilitation using IQ test, and diagnosed and received rehabilitation for one treating course (3 months).Results164 children had found with mental retarded among 220 cases, made up 74.5% of the total. 90% of the children with serious CP were also with mental retardation. The children had effect after rehabilitation was with a lower rate having mental retardation.ConclusionMany factors can influence the results of the intelligence assessment. Comprehensive judgment and analysis should be made in the intelligence assessment for the children with CP, a better and more reasonable assessment method is expected.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of rehabilitative treatment on different groups of infants with cerebral palsy in different age, sickness extent and rehabilitative period.MethodsBy the prospective method, 90 patients from 3 to 36 months old were randomly divided into three groups including 3 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months and 25 to 36 months with 30 cases each. Every 10 cases in light, moderate and severe degrees were given rehabilitative care for 2 months and 3 months respectively. The personal ADL of every case was evaluated at the initial and the final state. The compared score was analyzed with T test.ResultsComparing the groups of different ages, there were prominent differences of treatment under the same sickness, among the light, moderate and severe degrees(P<0.01). The rehabilitative treatment effect of 3 months was better than that of 2 months. Furthermore the effect of the group of 3-12 months was better than that of 25-36 months.ConclusionsThe rehabilitative care is prominently effective in the light and moderate groups , the former is better and within 3 months is better than 2 months. The younger infant is, the better the rehabilitative treatment is.
