International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2008;30(2):144-145
Objective Research and analysis on the clinical effect of rehabilitation of linguistic disturbance of child cerebral palsy patients,mainly through the treatment of acupuncture.Methods Effect comparison between the treatments of acupuncture and the only common way of 121 cerebral palsy children.Results The treatment mainly by acupuncture was obvious better than the common one.Conclusions The treatment mainly by acupuncture is one of the effective ways of linguistic disturbance of infantile cerebral palsy,and there are good prospects and special advantages for the treatment of Traditional Chinese Medical Science

Objective To investigate the effects of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) on blood glucose and metabolic parameters in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) . Methods A total of 973 T2DM patients were recruited, and the clinical data, biochemical and thyroid function parameters were measured. One hundred and forty eight T2DM patients were diagnosed as SCH (SCH group) and 152 euthyroid patients were selected as control group (NSCH group) . Results (1) The prevalence of SCH in type 2 diabetes was 15.3% (148/973) . (2) Compared with the NSCH group, the prevalence of overweight/obesity was significantly higher in SCH group (54.1%vs 35.5%,<0.01) as well as hypertension (64.9%vs 52%, <0.05) . There was no significant difference in HbA1c control and prevalence of dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia between two groups. Conclusion SCH may have some adverse effects on blood pressure and BMI in T2DM.

Objective To investigate the effect of telerehabilitation on memory disorders. Methods From August, 2010 to April, 2015, 81 patients with memory disorders were randomized into control group (n=26), computer-assisted training group (n=33) and telerehabilita-tion training group (n=22). All the patients accepted medicine to facilitate the recovery of memory. Besides, the computer-assisted training group and the telerehabilitation training group accepted memory-based training programs with cognitive rehabilitation system locally or on network respectively, for six weeks. They were evaluated with Wechsler Memory Scale, Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test-2nd Edition and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test before and after training. Results Both computer-assisted and telerehabilitation training groups im-proved in all the assessment after training (t>4.059, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between them (P>0.05). There was no sig-nificant improvement in the control group after training (t<0.771, P>0.05). Conclusion Memory rehabilitation training can significantly im-prove memory abilities, similar with locally or telerehabilitation system.

Objective To observe the characteristics of bone development and body development in 3-7 years old children with cerebral palsy. Methods 50 girls and 50 boys aged 3-7 years with cerebral palsy were included. Their height, weight, length of right and left upper extremities, and both hands bone age were measured by trained professionals. Results Their bone ages of both hands were 1 year younger than actual age (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between right and left hand bone age (P>0.05). Their height growth was in line with the normal children, while the weight growth was a little different. Both sides of upper limbs growed synchronously, and slowed down with the time. There was no significant difference in both sides (P>0.05). Conclusion The bone development of children with cerebral palsy lags behind the life age. Their height growth is close to normal children. The development shows no no significant lateral dominance.

Objective To investigate the effect of rehabilitation on memory deficits after acquired brain injury, to compare different training models of memory rehabilitation and to analyze the possible factors affecting memory rehabilitation. Methods 144 patients with acquired brain injury following memory deficits were randomly assigned to computer-assisted training group, face-to-face training group and control group. Both training groups were given memory-based cognitive training program once a day which sustained 30 minutes for 6 or 12 weeks. The instantaneous memory, short-term memory and long-term memory were evaluated and compared before and after training. The effect of gender, age, education, course, site of injury and coma time on training efficacy were analyszed as well. Results 6 weeks and 12 weeks at training, both computer-assisted and face-to-face training groups showed a significant improvement in memory abilities when compared to controls (P<0.01), with the former making more progress (P<0.01). Negative correlation was found between age and memory performance. Conclusion Effectiveness of memory rehabilitation is proven. 12 weeks training can significantly improve memory. Cognitive training using professional equipment is significantly more effective than the face-to-face training and should be recommended.
