Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition 1997;0(03):-
The disadvantages of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in critically ill patients were increased infection rate and hepatic dysfunction.Enteral nutrition (EN) can overcome the shortcomings of TPN and cost less.However,EN may not provide enough energy and protein because of the limited gut function.The best mode of the nutritional support in the critical ill patients is PN+EN.The non protein calorie and protein needs can be decided by the measured energy expenditure and overfeeding should be avoided.To further improve the critically ill patient nutritional status,immunonutrition and ecoimmunonutrition should be considered.
5.Falls in Elderly and Balance and Gait Disorders (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2012;18(1):5-8
Fall is a common symptom in the elderly, which could be attributed to the interactions among the physiological, pathological,psychological factors of the older individuals and the environment with hazard factors. However, muscle weakness and balance and gait disorders have been identified as the most important etiology of falls. The intervention strategies should be developed individually and implemented based on the comprehensive assessment of the patient and the environment, to integrate exercise training as the main component for improving functional status. Tai Chi is a meaningful form of exercise which is effective in multi-perspective in preventing falls of the elderly.
6.Application of Rhythmic Cues in Rehabilitation of Gait Stability Disorders (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2012;18(1):9-11
One of the most common reasons why the elderly fall is gait stability disorders. Gait rhythm perturbations are presented in those diseases with stability disorders such as Parkinson's disease and stroke. Rhythmic cues with visual, auditory or somatosensory stimulation can promote walking stability caused by magnet effect, compensatory, relax and attention saving.
7.Characteristics and Implication of Post-Exercise Hypotension
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 1997;3(3):118-122
Eighteen cases with post-exercise syncope or hypotenstion are reported in this paper. All subjects were middle-aged or elerly. The Characteristics include significant bradycardia or transient asystole, hypotension and dizziness or syncope,which occured 2 to 6 minutes after exercise and relieved a few minutes with supine position. Its occurence was related to exercise intensity and the capacity of cardiovascular regulation,but there was no any pathological evidence. The mechanism of this phenomenon remains nuclear.
9.Traditional Chinese Medicine in Pain Management (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2013;19(12):1140-1143
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), especially acupuncture and herbal medicine, is mainly applicated in musculoskeletal diseases, gynaecopathia, functional gastrointestinal diseases and cancer related pain in recent decade over the world. The influence of TCM on quality of life of pain patients received more attention, but still lacked evidence-based basis. Recent years, the basic studies were focusing on the function researches and tried to find out the relationship between functional units with systems biology methods to explain the holistic concept of TCM. After searching the database during 2002 to 2012, this article reviewed the character, development and innovation of TCM applicated in pain management.

BACKGROUND: An epidemic outbreak of poliomyelitis occurred in Pizhou City, Jangsu Province, 15 years ago. It is important to appraise the daily living and function of those survived children.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the physical status of the survived children and propose appropriate suggestions on rehabilitation.DESIGN: Case-based cross-sectional study based on patients.SETTING: Department of Rehabilitative Medicine of First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 545 patients with poliomyelitis sequela, which was onset in 1989, were found in Qizhou, and 333 of them were randomly selected from the local"New Hope" nursing house and its surrounding areas.All patients were assayed in one week.METHODS: The survey included 333 polio victims in the nursing house or from the surrounding areas. The study was conducted by five research groups, with two physiatrists and one therapist in each group. Assessment included muscle strength, joint rang of motion, limb deformities, activities of daily living, previous surgical interventions and orthosis. The distance was measured from the anterior superior iliac to medial malleolus and from nave to the medial malleolus, respectively. Anatomic length and functional length were also measured.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Major outcomes included the forms,shapes, or functions of foot, pelvic, hip, knee and ankle joints.RESULTS: According to intention-to-treat analyses, 333 patients with poliomyelitis sequela entered the final analysis. Most of them aged from 15 to 17 years old, which accounted for 97%. Totally 135 patients(40.5% )walked independently and 148 (44.4%) walked with-orthsis and/or crutches. The discrepancy was between 0. 5 cm to 13.0 cm. Patients with paraplegia were 112(33.6% ), which was lesser than those with monoplegia (211, 65.8% ). There were 3 cases with quadriplegia and 2 cases with upper limb involvement. Another 46 sufferers had already underwent the scoliosis prthomorphia. There were 254 subjects with orthosis, including 110 knee ankle feet orthosis for both legs and 131 knee ankle feet orthosis for one leg,with 62 at left and 79 at right. Only three ankle-foot orthosis were employed.CONCLUSION: Besides the factor of muscle strength, limb teratism is the key factor that causes walking disorders. Physical functions maybe improved through surgical intervention, orthosis modification, and rehabilitation training. Every child who received survey required further rehabilitative therapy. A multi-disciplinary team is essential to achieve a better outcome.
