ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of relaxing needling plus joint needling from the Internal Medicine in treating post-stroke spastic hemiplegia.MethodTotally 121 eligible subjects were randomized intoan ordinary acupuncture group (61 cases) and a relaxing-joint needling group (60 cases). The two groups were treated for 2 weeks, 5 sessions each week. The spasm of the lower limb was evaluated by using Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA), modified AshworthScale (MAS), Tardieu Scale, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) before and after treatment. Besides, 4 patients from each group were randomly selected for the three-dimensional gait analysis, and the dorsi-extension, range of motion (ROM) of ankle, strephenopodia, and heel-raising height were observed.Result and ConclusionRelaxing-joint needling and ordinary acupuncture both can produce significant efficacies in treating post-stroke spastic hemiplegia. The relaxing-joint needling produced more significant efficacies in improving the body balance, ROM, muscular tension, and lower limb spasticity compared to ordinary acupuncture. It’s plausible that relaxing-joint needling improves the strephenopodia and hemiplagia gait through renovating body balance, ROM, muscular tension, and lower limb spasticity. Since the three-dimensional gait analysis can analyze the dorsi-extension, strephenopodia, and heel-raising height, thus it can be used to evaluate the change of the spastic gait of post-stroke hemiplegia in amore objective, elaborate, and correct way.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of urinary calculi in children caused by melamine-contaminated milk. Methods Retrospective analysis of 53 cases of urinary calculi caused by melamine contaminated infant milk powder were performed. Clinical characteristics, lab measurements, colour Doppler ultrasound and CT examination results were collected, and the outcome of treatment and prognosis were followed up. Results In the 53 cases, there were 39 males and 14 females. The main clinical manifestations at admission included crying during urination, abdominal pain, hematuria, oliguria and anuria. Urine pH value was low with average of 5. 32 ±0. 25,blood uric acid was high with average of (638. 69 ±36. 25) μmol/L,blood urea nitrogen was high with average of (8. 35 ± 1. 97) mmol/L The colour Doppler ultrasound and CT examination showed calculi in both or one side kidney,or combined with calculi in both or one side ureter,calculi in one side ureter,or bladder calculi. After medical treatment,all calculi were exported,urine pH values increased to 6. 52 ±0. 47,blood uric acid blood and urea nitrogen decreased to (382. 31 ±29. 57) μmo/L and (5. 15 ±1.92) mmol/L No calculi reoccurred within one year of follow up. Conclusions Medical treatment of urinary calculi in children caused by melamine-contaminated milk powder was effective,and there were less stone recurrence after discharge.
