Patients often suffered limb dysfunction after stroke. Upper limb and hand function recovered more slowly than lower limb, and became one of the research focuses in rehabilitation medicine. Timely and effective assessments were important to guide the rehabilitation treatment, evaluate the treatment efficacy and predict functional recovery of upper extremity and hand function. The assessment methods of upper limb and hand motor function included subjective evaluations and objective evaluations. The former included different kinds of scales, which involved assessment focusing on muscle, motor pattern, change of upper limb and hand function. While the latter contained biomechanics, neuroelectrophysiology, functional magnetic resonance imaging, upper limb robotic evaluation system and so on. Scales were proved to have good reliability and validity. But they could not show patients' function accurately because of the subjectivity, and the data could not be kept. Evaluation system with computer was applied in clinical practice more and more widely. In this review, we summarized the assessments on upper limb and hand motor function in patients after stroke.

Herpes simplex virus type Ⅰ(HSV-1) is a common pathogen, and human is the only natural host of it.Following a period of lytic replication in epithelial cells, HSV-1 enters axon terminals of sensory neurons and then travels via retrograde transport to the sensory ganglia where latency can be established.Upon the stimulation of some stressors, the latent virus can reactivate, leading to recurrent diseases.Therefore, to clarify the mechanism of HSV-1 latent infection and stress-induced reactivation will offer new insights into the prevention, treatment and control of HSV-1 infection.In this review, we describes the mechanisms underlying HSV-1 latent infection and stress-induced reactivation.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for promoting the further implementation of national essential medicine system and rational use of drugs in community health service center. METHODS:Outpatients’information in Changqiao Street Communi-ty Health Service Center from Sept. 2,2009 to Nov. 25,2014 was collected to statistically analyze the drug variety,the number of prescriptions,the consumption sum and the DDDs before and after the implementation of essential medicine system and after the supplement of non essential medicines. RESULTS:Essential medicines occupied the main position of drug utilization in each stage, with substantial growth in respects of consumption sum and number of prescriptions;the sum of Chinese patent drugs and essential cardiovascular drugs occupied more than 50% of the total consumption sum and number of prescriptions,with higher growth rate;essential medicines occupied the top 10 in respects of consumption sum and DDDs,among which most were the drug varieties in“Shanghai supplement essential drugs in community health service center”(2010 Edition),with some overlap the varieties in“Na-tional Essential Medicine System”(2012 Edition);cardio-cerebrovascular drugs occupied the dominant position;the growth rates of cefotiam and atorvastatin took up the top 2 ranking in the list of consumption sum,while the growth rates of calcium carbonate D3 and irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide took up the top 2 ranking in the list of DDDs. CONCLUSIONS:Essential medicine cata-log covers the common drugs in the community health service center,in which the rational use of Chinese patent drugs and antibac-terial deserves needs to be noticed. The clinical rational use of the essential medicines should be strengthened,the essential medi-cine catalog should be adjusted and non essential medicines should be supplied when necessary in order to truly meet the needs of patients and optimize the allocation of medical resources.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of double-lumen tube intubation between McGrath-5 video-laryngoscope and McCoy laryngoscope in patients with difficult airway. Methods Sixty patients who were predicted as difficult double-lumen tube intubation were divided into two groups using random number table method:McGrath-5 video-laryngoscope group (group A, n = 30) and McCoy laryngoscope group (group B, n = 30). All patients were intubated by two laryngoscopes correspondingly after conventional induction. The success rate of the first intubation, intubation time, the ratio of right positioning, the number of SpO2 < 90% within intubation time, the number of pressing the cricoid, the incidence of intubation complications and hemodynamic parameters [The changes in systolic pressure and heart rate and BIS were recorded before induction (T0), glottic exposure upon laryngoscope insertion (T1), immediately after intubation (T2), 3 min (T3) after intubation]. Results The number of pressing the cricoid was smaller in group A than in group B (P < 0.05), whereas the intubation time in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P < 0.05). The systolic pressure and heart rate at T3 were dramatically reduced compared with those measured at T0 in both groups (P < 0.05). The systolic pressure and heart rate at T1 and T2 in group A were considerably lower in group A than those in group B (P < 0.05). Conclusions Compared with the McCoy laryngoscope, double-lumen tube intubation by McGrath-5 video-laryngoscope can less impact on hemodynamics, less intubation complications, intubation time although prolonged but not for influence the patient's oxygen supply, for difficult airway double-lumen tube intubation provides a good choice.
