Based on the nountine nursing and swallowing function training, the treatment group received psychological intervention. They were assessed with multimodel approach to diagnosis of post stroke depression (MMADD) and drinking test before and after treatments. Results The scores of drinking test and MMADD inside symptom in treatment group were lower than that of control （P＜0.05）. Conclusion The psychological intervention at early stage can facilitate the recovery of swallowing dysfunction and depresson after stroke.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of intermittent catheterization methods and indwelling catheterization methods on the urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury.METHODS After eighty cases of spinal cord injury,the urine retention patients caused by bladder dysfunction were respectively used intermittent catheterization and indwelling catheterization.The urinary tract infection rates of regucally urine culture were compared.By use of intermittent catheterization,the bladder function was trained.Bacteria culture and identification of the urine from the patients were conducted after 15 or 30 days of intermittent catheterization and indwelling catheterization respectively.RESULTS The rates of urinary tract infection(colony count≥1?10 CFU/ml) after 15 or 30 days of intermittent catheterization were 32.6% and 31.5%,respectively.Which were significantly lower than those of indwelling catheterization(100%)(P

Objective To explore the effect of rehabilitation training combined with rational-emotive therapy on post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods 51 PSD patients were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=25) and control group (n=26). All patients received routine rehabilitation training, simultaneously took 20 mg of fluoxetine hydrochloride dispersible tablets per day. Based on above, the treatment group was given physiological rehabilitation treatment with rational-emotive therapy in early stage, 30 min each time, continuously 6 weeks. The two groups were assessed with Zung Self-rating Depression Scale and Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale before and after treatment.Results Afer treatment, the scoers of Zung Self-rating Depression Scale and Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion The rational-emotive therapy might improve the depression condition of post-stroke, enhance patients' motor function.

Objective To investigate the effect of motor imagery therapy based on mirror neuron theory on the motor function and gait in stroke survivors.Methods Forty-nine stroke survivors were randomly divided into a treatment group (n =24) and a control group (n =25) using a random number table.All the patients in both groups were given similar conventional rehabilitation treatment.In addition,the patients in the treatment group were given motor imagery training based on mirror neuron theory once a day for 20 min each time,5 days a week,lasting 8 weeks.The Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),Functional Ambulation Categories (FACs),average step length,the percentage of time spent on the intact foot and the paralyzed foot,and 6 minute walking distance were used to evaluate the subjects' motor function and gait before and after 8 weeks of treatment.Results Before the intervention there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of any of the measurements.At the end of the 8 weeks of treatment all measurements in both groups had significantly improved compared with before training.The averages of all the measures were significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group.Conclusions Motor imagery training based on mirror neuron theory can improve the motor function and gait of stroke survivors.

A model of acute lung injury was reproduced by intravenous injection of endotoxin (700?g / kg) to rabbits. It had been found that the rabbits were in the state of shock, with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, increased 6 -keto-PGF1? and TXB2, decreased serum ACE and increased permeability of the pulmonary capillaries. Granulocyte sequestration and disturbance in pulmonary microcirculation were found in lungs. A series of changes in epithelial and endothelial cells were also found in both lungs. It was obviously proved that PGE1 had some therapeutic effects in acute lung injury induced by E. coli endotoxin.

Objective To observe the iffectiveness of comprehensive rehabilitationinterventions on stroke patients with unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Methods A total of 245 cases if strijd were examined to diagnose USN. Of the 245 patients,86 cases were diagnosed as being with USN, and divided into a control group(n=43 cases) and a treatment group (n=43 cases) randomly. The control group was treated with Bobath and Rood techniques in addition to routine clinical medical interventions, while the treatment group was treated with a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol for USN in addition to the same interventions for the control group. Both groups were assessed with regard to motor, balance function, walking performance, and USN severity as well as the activities of daily living (ADL) performance. Results After 8 weeks of treatment,both groups improved, but there showed a significantly statistical difference between the 2 groups in terms of Fugl-Meyer motor function scores (P＜0.01), balance function scores (P＜0.01) Holden walding function classifications (P＜0.01), Barthel index(P＜0.001) and USN severity scores(P＜0.01). Conclusion Comprehensive USN rehabilitation intervention could improve motor, balance, walking functions and ADL performance and alleviate the USN severity in stroke patients with USN.

Objective To compare the prenatal ultrasonic characteristics between left and right isomerism as referring to autopsy outcomes.Methods Between November 2007 and July 2010,fetuses with isomerism that were confirmed by autopsy,were identified from 1200 prenatal ultrasonic scans.Their abnormal spectrums and ultrasonic features were analyzed and comparied between left and right isomerism.Results A total of 18 fetuses with right isomerism and 4 fetuses with left isomerism were detected and confirmed.The major findings of the right isomerism were;viscerocardiac heterotaxy (17,94%),anomalous pulmonary venous connection (16,89%),complete atrioventricular septal defect (15,83%),juxtaposition of the descending aorta and inferior vena cava(12,67%),left persistent superior vena cava (11,61%),right aortic arch (10,56%) and univentricle (10,56%).As for the left isomerism,all had viscerocardiac heterotaxy and interruption of inferior vena cave,three of them had heart block,complete atrioventricular septal defect and hypoplasia of aorta,two of them had univentricle.Conclusions Viscerocardiac heterotaxy,complete atrioventricular septal defect,univentricle are the most common anomalies detected.Right isomerism cases usually exist with anomalous pulmonary venous connection,juxtaposition of the descending aorta and inferior vena cava as well as right aortic arch.The left isomerism cases usually have interruption of inferior vena cave,heart block and hypoplasia of aorta.

Objective To observe the effects of a lower-limb rehabilitation robot plus psychological intervention on depression and lower limb motor function of the stroke patients.Methods Sixty stroke patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (n =30) and a control group (n =30).The patients of control group were treated with routine rehabilitation and psychological intervention,while the treatment group were treated with lowerlimb rehabilitation robot,in addition to the interventions of the control group,for 10-20 minutes daily,6 days per week for 8 weeks.Both groups were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),Simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) before and at the end of 2,4 and 8 weeks of treatment.Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in all the assessment parameters before and after 2 weeks of treatment.At the end of 4 weeks of treatment,both groups improved significantly with regard to the scores of HAMD,FMA and FAC classification,and the treatment group improved to a significantly greater extent than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).At the end of 8 weeks of treatment the scores of HAMD,FMA and FAC classification were further improved significantly in treatment groups when compared with values obtained at the end of 4 weeks after treatment,but the scores of the control group was not significantly improved at the end of 8 weeks when compared with those at the end of 4 weeks of treatment.Conclusion Lower-limb rehabilitation robot plus psychological intervention can significantly help relieve the post-stroke depression and improve lower motor function of stroke patients.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the clinical effect of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using suture-bridge technique for full-thickness rotator cuff tears.Methods Forty-one patients (20 males,21 females; mean age 52.2 years) with full-thickness rotator cuff tears were treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using suture-bridge technique between June 2010 and January 2012 in our hospital.After arthroscopic rotator cuff repair,the patients were randomly assigned to a treatment group (21 patients) or a control group (20 patients).The treatment group received systematic rehabilitation therapy including rehabilitation education,physical modalities treatment and rehabilitative training additionally,while the control group only accepted the routine rehabilitation therapy including stretching and muscle strength training.The outcome was evaluated at 6 months after surgery,by employing visual analogae scale (VAS),the range of motion (ROM) testing of shoulder joint flexion and rotation,the rating scale of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA),and the shoulder index of American shoulder and elbow surgeons (ASES).Results The mean follow-up period was 15.6 months (8-24 months).Prior to intervention,there was no significant difference in any parameter between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Six months later,all scores of assessments changed:in treatment group VAS (1.7 ± 1.5),ROM [flexion (168.3±31.3)°,rotation (47.2±11.2)°],UCLA(30.7 ±4.13) and ASES (85.1 ±15.67); in control group VAS(3.8±2.2),ROM[flexion (121.2 ±53.6)°,rotation (32.9 ±14.9)°],UCLA(18.3 ±4.94) and ASES (36.4 ± 17.70).Significant changes occurred in both groups in all the parameters after treatment when compare to baseline (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy is an effective approach for improving motor ability of the shoulder in patients after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with suture-bridge technique for their full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
