ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic efficacy of early acupoint stimulation and physical therapy on patients with cerebral infarction.Methods100 cases of cerebral infarction were divided randomly into the treatment group A (n=50), treatment group B (n=50) and other 50 cases were selected as the control group. The treatment group A received physical therapy, the treatment group B received acupoint stimulation and physical therapy, the control group only received routine therapy. Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and Barthel index (BI) were used to assess physical function and activities of daily living (ADL) at pre-therapy and 3 months post-therapy respectively.ResultsThe scores of FMA and BI in three groups were similar at pre-therapy stage (P>0.05). The treatment groups showed much higher scores of FMA and BI than those in the control group after 3 months' follow-up (P<0.05), so were the scores in treatment group B compared with the scores in treatment group A.ConclusionEarly rehabilitation is much more effective, the therapeutic efficacy of acupoint stimulation and physical therapy is better than single physical therapy.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of ALT abnormality among workers from food industry and related people from public places in Shenzhen and influencing factors.Methods 2,411 workers from food industry and people from public places who had physical examinations in our department from May to October in 2013 were involved in the investigation.ALT abnormality rate and the influencing factors were analyzed.Results The incidence of ALT abnormalities among workers from food industry and related people from public places in Shenzhen was 9.37%.The ALT abnormalities were correlated with censue register,gender,age,marital status,work duration in Shenzhen,education level and monthly income respectively(all P<0.05). Conclusion The ALT abnormality has a higher rate among people from cities,of male gender and old age,with longer work duration in Shenzhen and relatively high level of education and higher monthly income.Therefore,for the population,the health education should be strengthened and the healthy lifestyles should be advocated to effectively reduce the ALT abnormality rate.
