Objective To observe the effect of traditional Chinese medicine vapor bath combined with function training on children with spastic cerebral palsy(CP).Methods 84 cases with spastic CP were divided into the treatment group(39 cases treated by traditional Chinese medicine vapor bath combined with function training treatment)and control group(43 cases treated with function training treatment mainly).Results The total effect rates were 84.6% in the treatment group and 65.1% in the control group with a significant difference between two groups(P<0.05).The muscle tension of the children in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The traditional Chinese medicine vapor bath can reduce the muscle tension of children with spastic CP.

Objective: To investigate the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge and its influencing factors among female sex workers (FSWs) in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. Methods: According to the HIV/AIDS Sentinel Surveillance Plan, FSWs at ages of 15 to 65 years monitored by the national AIDS surveillance sentinel in Jiaxing City were recruited, and demographic information, awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge and related behaviors were collected by questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge were identified by a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 430 questionnaires were allocated, and 412 were valid, with an effective rate of 95.81%. The respondents had a mean age of (28.58±4.93) years, and included 258 unmarried FSWs (62.62%), 344 with registered residence outside Zhejiang Province (83.50%), 212 with junior high school education or below (51.46%) and 243 from high-end entertainment places (58.98%). The overall awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among FSWs was 20.39%, and the awareness of "Transfusion of blood containing hepatitis C virus may acquire hepatitis C" (38.83%) and the awareness of "tattooing, eyebrow tattooing and ear piercing in streets or small shops may infect hepatitis C" (38.11%) were relatively low. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified marital status (divorced or widowed, OR=0.161, 95%CI: 0.054-0.482), educational level (high school or technical secondary school, OR=2.568, 95%CI: 1.446-4.560; junior college or above, OR=6.110, 95%CI: 2.658 -14.045) and grade of entertainment places (high-end entertainment places, OR=2.756, 95%CI: 1.525-4.982) as factors affecting the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among FSWs. Conclusion FSWs in Jiaxing City have a low awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge, especially lacking of knowledge about the transmission routes and prognosis of hepatitis C.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of electromyography biofeedback on motor function in children with spastic hemiplegia. Methods40 children with spastic hemiplegia were divided into control group (n=20) and treatment group (n=20). Both groups received comprehensive rehabilitation treatment. The treatment group received electromyography biofeedback in addition. They were assessed with Gross Motor Functional Measure (GMFM-88) in D and E items before and after treatment. ResultsThe scores of GMFM-88 in both D and E items were significantly different (P<0.01) before and after treatment in both groups, and significantly different between the treatment group and control group (P<0.05) after treatment. ConclusionElectromyography biofeedback can improve the motor capacity in children with spastic hemiplegia.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of bubble bath coordinating with functional training on the children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods210 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=118) and control group (n=92). All children were treated with functional training, acupuncture and other physical therapies. Children in the treatment group were added with bubble bath one time every day, twenty days as one course. Muscular tension was evaluated with modified Ashworth Scale and range of motion was measured before and after treatment.ResultsIn the treatment group, 55 cases were significant, 53 cases were effective, 10 cases were invalid, the total effective rate was 91.5%; in the control group, 26 cases were significant, 46 cases were effective, 20 cases were invalid, the total effective was 78.2%. There was a significant difference between the total effective rates of two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionBubble bath can significantly decrease the muscular tension of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
