Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2007;13(4):389-390
Objective To explore the effect of family rehabilitation on children with cerebral palsy.Methods60 children with cerebral palsy received the family rehabilitation. The program was divided into two stages: the first 3 months in outpatient (mainly performed by physical therapists) and the second 3 months in family (mainly performed the parents). The physical therapists tutored the parents to learn and practice the rehabilitation training. The acupuncture and massage may be used to ease the patients, i.e., relaxing hypermyotonia. The gross motor function development is assessed in the end of the first month, third month, and sixth month. ResultsThe effect rate is higher in the end of the third month than in the first month ( P<0.05), as well as the end of the sixth month than the third month ( P<0.05).ConclusionFamily rehabilitation is effective and practicable.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2007;13(6):562-563
Objective To observe the effect of early intervention on premature.Methods56 premature infants as intervention group received early intervention, and clinically treatment and management. The mental development index (MDI) and psychomotor development index (PDI) were assessed at the age of 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months comparing to 96 premature infants as control group.ResultsMDI scores of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group at the age of 6 months ( P<0.05). There were no difference in MDI and PDI at age of 12 months between the two groups. But MDI and PDI scores of the intervention group at age of 18 months were higher than those of the control group. ConclusionEarly intervention can improve premature infants normally develop.

Objective Using a short-term in vivo laboratory model of murine liver cancer induced with diethylnitrosamine (DEN),we inspected the impact of 5% C.Chrysantha leaves and 5% concentrations on induction of liver cancer with DEN.Methods Laboratory Winstar rats,all being male and SPF grade,were administered with the liver cancer initiator DEN(200?g/kg,ip,once only),then with murine food containing 0.015% 2-AAF (2-Acetaminoflueren) for 2 weeks,following an excision of the augmented parts as a selective promoting program that speeded up the proliferation of precancerous foci from the initiated hepatocytes.On the beginning of this experiment,5% C.Chrysantha leaves and 5% concentration-contained food were given to the trail rats; in contrast,normal food to the control.Rats were killed 3 days after feeding of 2-AAF-contained food.Targeting part of liver were collected for ?-glutamyltranspeptidase (?-GT) staining,and numbers and areas of?-GT positive foci per cm2 of the liver area were calculated using a software designed by us.Results Numbers and areas of?-GT positive foci of the trail are significantly less than those of the control.Conclusion 5% C.Chrysantha leaves and 5% concentrations inhibit the DEN induction to liver cancer.

In order to investigate the effect of vitamin A (VA) on the secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in Mycoplasma Pneumoniae (MP)-induced A549 cells, A549 cells were co-cultured with MP for different time lengths and then the levels of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in the cell culture supernatants were detected before and after treatment with different concentrations of VA by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that the level of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in the supernatants of MP-induced A549 cells was much higher than that in non-induced cells (P<0.01). After application of VA, IL-4 level was not increased until the concentration of VA was up to 0.5x10(-5) mol/L (P<0.01). However, with concentration of VA increased up to 1x10(-4) mol/L, IL-4 was significantly suppressed (P<0.01). It was concluded that MP could induce the secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in A549 cells. VA could inhibit the secretion of IFN-gamma and increase the IL-4 level in MP-induced A549 cells. However, high concentration of VA had an inhibitory effect on the secretion of IL-4 as well as on the IFN-gamma. These data provided a theoretical basis for the application of VA in MP pneumonia in the clinical practice.

Objective To explore the effect of silver needle thermo-conduction on cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type (CSA). Methods 82 patients with CSA were randomly divided into control group (n=41) and treatment group (n=41). The control group was treated with cervical traction combined with microwave diathermy, and the treatment group was treated with silver needle thermo-conduction combined with cervical traction. Both groups were evaluated with Evaluation Scale for Cervical Vertigo (ESCV) and transcranial Doppler before and 1 course after treatment. Results The ESCV score, the peak blood flow velocity of period of contraction of left vertebral artery, right vertebral artery and basilar artery in both groups were significantly higher after treatment than before (P<0.01), the treatment group was better than the control group after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion Silver needle thermo-conduction combined with cervical traction therapy can accelerate the blood flow of patients with CSA and improve their clinical symptoms

Objective To determine whether the cross-sectional area (CSA)of the calf measured with MRI could stage lower ex-tremity lymphedema (LEL)secondary to gynecological cancer treatments.Methods 148 patients were enrolled in this research.116 females with unilateral LEL and 32 without LEL after gynecological cancer treatments underwent calf MRI and water displacement. Total soft tissue CSA (T),muscle CSA (M)and subcutaneous tissue CSA (S)of affected calf,and difference of T (DT),M (DM) and S (DS)between calves were obtained on MRI at mid-calf level.Volume of affected calf and difference of volume (DV)between calves were obtained by water displacement.Statistical analysis was performed to determine feasibility of MRI measurements for ac-cessing LEL.Results There were close correlations between volume and T or S of affected calf,and between DV and DT or DS of calves.The correlations of stages of LEL with T and S of affected calf as well as DT and DS were stronger than the volume of affect-ed calf and DV (P< 0.01).Multivariate analysis showed more significant differences in T and S than in volume of affected calf,and in DS than in DV between LEL stages (P< 0.05).No difference was found in volume of affected calf and in DV between stage 0 andⅠ. For staging LEL,DS showed the most profound discrimination ability among all measurable parameters.Conclusion DS of calves could be the most reliable parameter recommended for staging and early diagnosis of LEL.
