Motor imagery therapy is based on the theory of plasticity in the central nervous system. Movement with imagery improved reconstruction of damaged motor conduction pathway, and made restoration of central nervous system. Motor imagery adapts to recovery mode of stroke, and was proved to be effective on motor function when applied with physical therapy for stroke patients. This article would review its background, mechanisms, Methods and effects, etc.

In view of the weakness of the teachers' strength, students' lack of interest and the lack of unity of teaching materials in the foreign language teaching, Oral Medicine College of Chongqing Medical University carried out the reform to the professional foreign language courses in the postgraduate education period by strengthening the preparation of special teaching materials, reinforcing teaching staff construction, reforming teaching methods and creating a learning environment. The results of teaching assessment by students and peer-reviewers show that reform has achieved good results, and aiming at the problems in the teaching practice we also put forward such improvement measures as strengthening the student-centered teaching method, promoting new teaching methods and optimizing curriculum assessment programs.

Objective To evaluate the validity and responsiveness of the Chinese version of the miniBalance Evaluation Systems Test(mini-BESTest).Methods A total of 208 stroke patients were evaluated by 2 professionals using both mini-BESTest and Berg balance scale (BBS).All data were analyzed using Pearson correlation,t-test and descriptive statistical analysis.Results Significant correlation was observed between each entry of the mini-BESTest and its domain,with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.78 to 0.93 (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of whole assessment and the three related domains were significantly correlated between mini-BESTest and BBS results,the correlation coefficients ranging from 0.68 to 0.87 (P ＜ 0.05).After 2 weeks of treatment,there was significant improvement in each domain and in the total assessment score (P ＜ 0.05).No floor or ceiling effects were observed in the total mini-BESTest scores,but there was a slight ceiling effect in the anticipatory and sensory orientation domains,and a slight floor effect in the reactive postural control domain.Conclusion The mini-BESTest has good validity and responsiveness,and can be applied to evaluate patients after stroke.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrapleural fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of childhood empyema.Methods The data from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese BioMedical (CBM),PubMed,VIP Database and Cochrane library were reviewed.Randomized control trials by using intrapleural fibrinolytic agents to treat childhood empyema were included.Two reviewers independently extracted the data from the eligible studies and evaluated the quality of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed for the results of homogeneous studies using RevMan 5.2 software,while others analyzed descriptively.Results Five randomized control trials involving 248 children with empyema were included.Meta-analysis was not made in all of the indexes because of apparent heterogeneity and limited data.Two trials were compared which involved 98 patients receiving fibrinolytic agents or 9 g/L saline.The results suggested that fibrinolytic agents shortened the length of hospital stay and reduced complication(all P ＜ 0.05),but no significant differences were found between the 2 groups in the effective rate,duration of fever and pleural effusion amount(OR =3.61,95％ CI 0.84-15.49,P ＞ 0.05).Three trials involving 150 patients compared fibrinolytic agents and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).The data suggested that no significant differences were found between 2 groups in the effective rate (OR =0.70,95 ％ CI 0.30-0.61,P ＞ 0.05),but fibrinolytic agents cost less (P ＜ 0.05).The adverse drug reactions to intrapleural fibrinolytic agents were mild to moderate,and well tolerated.Conclusions The findings suggest that intrapleural fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of childhood empyema is safe and effective,especially in encapsulated effusion.Compared to 9 g/L saline,it can shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce complication.Compared with VATS,the curative effect is similar,while intrapleural fibrinolytic agents are economic.

Objective To study the effects of integrative body-mind training with cognitive rehabilitation based on the sensory integration training theory on executive function and anxiety and depression mood in patients with traumatic brain injury.Methods 85 cases were randomly divided into the control group (42 cases) and the treatment group (43 cases).The control group took targeted cognitive rehabilitation with sensory integration training theory and the treatment group was given targeted integrative bodymind training based on this training.Before training and after 3 months,the cognitive function and executive function were detected by the Behavioral Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS); the cognitive dysfunction were evaluated by Loewenstein Occupation Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA); Anxiety and Depression were evaluated by Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).Results There was no marked differences in BADS,LOTCA,SDS and SAS scores before treatment; Compared with the control group,they were much improved after training; Moreover,they were much more improved in the treatment group than those of the control group.Conclusions Integrative bodymind training with cognitive rehabilitation based on the sensory integration training theory can improve the executive function and regulate the mood on cognitive dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury.

(DBI) in rats by observation on the changes of Homer 1a expression and apoptotic nerve cells . Methods Spraque-Dawlley(SD) rats were randomly ( random number ) divided into control group and severe DBI group .DBI rat model was established according to the de-scription of Marmarou′s diffused brain injury .No injury was done on control group .The changes of neuron pathology were observed by light microscopy and electron microscope .The expression of Homer1a was observed by immunohistochemistry and western blot .The quan-tity of apoptotic cells was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfernase medicated nick end labeling ( TUNEL) method. Results The death rate of rats in severe DBI group was 49.3%.Compared with the control group , the ultrastructures in hippocampal neurons in-cluding organelle , axonal and capillary were damaged seriously after injury , the survival rate of nerve cells decreased significantly at 1 h after injury ([99.4 ±0.6]%vs [94.4 ±5.6]%, P<0.05), and peaked at 72 h ([99.2 ±0.8]%vs [54.7 ±33.8]%, P<0 .05) in DBI group.The expression of Homer1a protein increased significantly at 1 h after injury(0 .136 ±0.024 )and peaked at6 h(0.178 ± 0.028) and maintained to 24 h (0.176 ±0.027), while decreased at 48 h (0.145 ±0.02)and 72 h (0.117 ±0.012) in DBI group;the expression of Homer 1a was obviously higher at each time point in DBI group than that in control group (P <0.05).The apoptoticindex of TUNEL positive cells increased at 6 h and demonstrated significant difference at 72h in comparison to control group ([41.78 ±3 .96]%vs [1.92 ±0.22]%, P<0.05).The correlation analysis indicated that Homer1a expression from 1~24 h and 24 h~72 h was related to the survival rate of nerve cells ( r=-0.726, P<0.05; r=0.842, P<0.05) and the quantity of TUNE positive cells(r=0.738, P<0.0;5 r=-0.898, P<0.05). Conclusion The dynamic expression of Homer1a in hippocampus after severe DBI can reflect nerve cell loss.
