ObjectiveTo study the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection combined with functional training on the tiptoe deformation and gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). Methods60 SCP children with tiptoe deformation whose family consented to inject BTX-A were as treatment group and treated with BTX-A combined with function training, while other 46 SCP children as control group were only treated with functional training. They were assessed with Composite Spasticity Scale (CSS), the angle of ankle passive dorsiflexion motion and D and E domains of Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before and 1 week, and 3 months after treatment. ResultsThe effect of BTX-A began from 24 to 72 h after injection, reached the peak from 1 to 2 weeks, maintained beyond 3 months with few side effects. There were significant differences between 2 groups in the outcome of CSS,the angle and the standing and walking value (GMFM) 1 week and 3 months after treatment (P<0.01). ConclusionBTX-A combined with functional training is more effective on reducing spasticity of the lower extremity, correcting the tiptoe deformation, increasing the range of ankle motion, improving gross motor function.

Objective To investigate the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of complications after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and to explore the ways of prevention. Methods Clinical data of 930 subjects, in which 510 were older than 60, with cholangiopancreatic diseases who underwent ERCP in the past 2 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results Success rate of ERCP was 96.34% (896/930),and the postoperative complication incidence was 7.85% (73/930). Of all the complications, there were 42 cases of acute pancreatitis, among which 1 was accompanied with biliary tract infection, 4 cases of duodenum perforation, 6 delayed hemorrhage, 2 cardiac dilacerations bleeding, and 19 biliary tract infection (5 combined with infectious shock). All subjects with complications were cured except for 2 deaths. Conclusion ERCP is a safe and effective method for elderly patients. However, due to decreased organ functions and other underlying diseases, complications after ERCP in elderly patients are usually difficult to manage. The key factors in prevention of complications after ERCP includes in obedience to indications, improvement in procedure skills, treatment of accompanied diseases before and after ERCP, and active management of complications.
