Objective To observe the effects of training on intrinsic hand muscles after digital flexor tendonrepair. Methods A total of 60 patients with digital flexor tendon repair were randomly assigned into an experimentgroup (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Patients in the experiment group received intrinsic hand muscles train-ing, in addition to the passive mobilization of the flexor tendons and active mobilization of the extensor tendons admin-istered to those in the control group. Minnesota manual dexterity test and Purdue pegboard test were adopted to as-sessment the outcome after 3 months of training. Results After 3 months of training, there were significant differ-ences between the two groups in terms of the results of Minnesota manual dexterity test and Purdue pegboard test( P < 0.01 ). Conclusion Intrinsic hand muscles training after digital flexor tendon repair can improve fine move-ment and coordination of hand.

ObjectiveTo explore the related factors influencing effect of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) on activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients in.Methods202 stroke patients were randomly divided into the CBR group (n=103) and control group (n=99). The patients of the CBR group treated with rehabilitation and following-up including risk factors controlled with drug, rehabilitation, health education and mental treatment, those of the control group only treated by following-up. Before and five months after treatment, patients of two groups were assessed with Barthel Index (BI), clinical never function limitation score, cognitive item of Functional Comprehensive Assessment (FCA). Multielement regression analysis was applied, the ADL score of last assessment was taken as dependent variable, group information, location, smoking, sex, age, course of diseases, education, drinking, sleeping, the first scores of FCA and BI were taken as independent variable.ResultsThe improvement of ADL of stroke patients was related with group information, drinking, course of diseases, the first scores of FCA, BI, and etc.ConclusionEarly CBR can significantly improve the ADL of the stroke patients. Cognitive deficit also has influence on ADL.

Objective To investigate serum total IgE levels of healthy population in two hospitals in Yantai and Weihai areas,to investigate the influencing factors of the levels of serum total IgE,which can provide information for the clinical diagnosis of allergic diseases.Methods The total serum IgE level was measured with chemiluminescence method in 1 200 cases of healthy people and 600 cases of smoking group in different age groups.Results The total IgE level of ≤6 years was (28.53±20.71)IU/mL,7-12 years was (29.74±25.94)IU/mL,13-18 years was (32±22.32)IU/mL,19-44 years was (45.2±36.27)IU/mL,45-60 years was (35.47±27.23)IU/mL,>60 years was (31.2±25.03)IU/mL.There was no effect of serum total IgE in different age groups:≤6 years,7-12 years,13-18 years,45-60 years,>60 years(t=0.610,1.508,0.777,0.160,1.518,all P>0.05),19-44 years was significantly different from other age groups(t=0.075,P<0.01).There was no gender difference of serum total IgE in different age groups (P>0.05).The total IgE level of the smoking group:19-44 years was (55.22±39.16)IU/mL,45-60 years was (42.63±28.46)IU/mL,>60 years was (39.32±26.73)IU/mL.The level of serum IgE in the smoking group was significantly higher than that in the same age group (t=0.142,0.174,0.235,all P<0.05).Conclusion No significant difference existed in healthy people of serum total IgE levels from birth to adulthood.However,the total IgE level rose when reached to 19-44 years,which then slightly declined as the growth of the age.There was no significant difference between male and female of the IgE levels in different age groups.But after the age of 19,smoking can lead to the increase of the total IgE level.

Stargardt disease (STGD) is one of the most prevalent inherited macular dystrophy, and most often occurs in child or adolescence. Irreversible vision loss is observed in almost all cases. Type 1 (STGD1) is one of the most common type. It is an autosomal recessive condition, caused by mutations in the Abca4 gene. In recent years, encouraging progress has been made in the treatment of STGD1. C20-D3-retinyl acetate (ALK- 001), fenretinide and ICR-14967 (A1120) as visual cycle modulators, StarGen as gene supplementation therapies, and the stem cell transplantation of human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium cells are the most promising therapies. With the development of studies and clinical trials, the clinical application of various treatments of STGD1 are expected in the near feature, which are expected to save the vision of most patients.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of hereditary blinding fundus diseases caused by abnormalities in photoreceptors of the retina.RP is highly heterogeneous in hereditary and cdinical phenotypes.It can be divided into simple type RP and syndrome type RP.The main inheritance patterns are autosomal dominant,autosomal recessive inheritance and X-linked inheritance.With the popularization and clinical application of gene sequencing technology,more and more disease-causing genes have been discovered,and these genes are mainly expressed in photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cell.ln-depth understanding of RP pathogenic genes not only provides a theoretical basis for RP diagnosis and genetic counseling,but also provides guidance for RP gene therapy.
