Objective To observe the correlation between protein C activity-dependent clotting time-normalized ratio (PCAT-NR) and the related blood coagulation parameters,e.g.,fibrinogen (Fib),factor Ⅶ coagulant activity (Ⅶ:C),factor Ⅷcoagulant activity (F Ⅷ:C),antithrombin (AT),D-dimer (DD) in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods One hundred cases of patients who were diagnosed as acute cerebral infarction according to clinical manifestations and imaging examinations were taken as the test group and 75 healthy subjects were taken as control group.The values of Fib,FⅦ:C,FⅧ:C,AT,PCAT-NR,DD were tested and the difference between the two groups were compared.The differences of Fib,FⅦ:C,FⅧ:C,DD and AT between declined PCAT-NR group and normal PCAT-NR group in the patients with acute cerebral infarction were analyzed.The correlations of PCAT-NR with other coagulation parameters in acute cerebral infarction cases were compared.Results The values of Fib (3.38 ± 1.25) g/L,F Ⅶ:C (130.5 ± 15.9) ％,FⅧ:C (135.8 ± 43.1) ％ and DD (2.12:±:3.01) mg/L in the acute cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than those of control group,while the values of AT (83.94 ± 14.95) ％ and PCAT-NR (0.87 ± 0.23) in test group were significantly lower than those the control group (P＜0.05).The values of Fib (4.03 ± 1.25)g/L,FⅦ:C (138.2 ±6.9)％ and FⅧ:C (151.5 ± 54.9)％ of PCAT-NR declined group in the patients with acute cerebral infarction were significantly higher than those of PCAT-NR normal group (P ＜ 0.05),while the values of DD,AT were not statistically different between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The values of PCAT-NR were significantly negatively correlated with Fib,FⅧ:C and DD in the patients with acute cerebral infarction (r =-0.484,-0.356 and-0.473,respectively (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no correlation of PCAT-NR with FⅦ:C and AT (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The PCAT-NR decline was associated with high coagulation state in patients with acute cerebral infarction.This decline has some correlation with high level of blood clotting factor Ⅷ and Fib.

This is a prospective study on early discovery and diagnosis to cerebral palsy(CP).Fivehundred and forty cases with high risk neonates who were born from July 1. 1993 to December 31. 1994 infour districts in Beijing were monitored for one year.Eight cases were diagnosed for CP from 38 suspiciouscases by examining specific primitive reflex. nerve reflex.muscular tension. early symptoms and CT orMRI.etc. The study indicates that it is very important for decreasing CP incidence to strengthen healthmeasures in perinatal period and to avoid premature infant birth.

Objective To estimate the effect of itermittent subglottic secretions drainage(ISSD)on management of artificial airway to prevent tube-related pulmonary pneumonia.Methods One hundred ICU patients with intubation for artificial airway were divided equally into control and experiment group by random digits table.Both were managed with construction of artificial airway and besides the experiment group received ISSD. The two groups were compared in terms of incidence and occurrence time of catheter-related pneumonia, time for airway opening and ICU stay.Result The incidence and the occurrence time of pneumonia, time for airway opening and ICU stay time in the experiment group were significantly lower or shorter than those in the control group with statistical difference(all P<0.05).Conclusion ISSD is effective in decreasing the incidence of catheter related pneumonia, shortening the occurrence time of catheter related pneumonia and ICU stay time for the patients with artificial airway.

In order to construct a reasonable, objective and comprehensive method to assess the disabled children, Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children is designed, including five parts, cognition, gross movement, speech, ability of daily living and social adapting, counting for 50 items. The full score is 100.

ObjectiveTo determine the normal values of the Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children. Methods60 healthy children ranged from 2 to 7 years old were evaluated with by the professional doctors. ResultsThe children ranged from 4 to 7 years old get scores above 90. The children ranged from 3 to 4 years old get scores above 80.The children ranged from 2 to 3 years old get scores above 60. Conclusions The Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children can evaluate the childrens develop ment entirely,detailedly and objectively. The normal values can be used to evaluate the children's function and the curative effect.

This research focused on the rehabilitation effect of orthosis for cerebral palsy(CP) children.46 CP children with physical dysfunction used the orthosis as an auxiliary therapy.The gait analysis,equilibrium,and comprehensive ADL measurement had been administrated pretherapy and post-therapy.The results show that 94.25% of CP children had improved their functions.The conclusions of this study indicated that it is important to use orthosis as an auxiliary therapy for CP children.Some important items of therapy had been discussed and the experiences of making plastic AFO had been introduced.

In this paper,we studied the clinical effects,side effects,doses ,dosing interval,relations between doses and effects of using Madopar in 61 children with athetoid cerebral palsy.Taking ADL Evaluation Scheme for Cerebral Palsied Children as main efficacy value,very marked statistic difference exists when two groups with or without Madopar were assessed on the third evaluation in our study,and it shows the effects of Madopar while its adverse events are mild and transient.The average and maximal initial dose is 9mg/kg/d and 26mg/kg/d respectively,and the average titration interval is one week while the shortest inetrval is a day.It can be titrated to 20mg/kg/d on average and 38mg/kg/d on maximal dose.There was no correlation between doses and effects.Suggestion was made for further investigation.

Objective To investigate whether the curative effect of Botulinum Toxic A(BTX-A) block increased and prolonged when the dose calculated according to certain formula.Methods 15 children with cerebral palsy(CP) were appointed as the trial group and the dose of BTX-A was calculated according to the designed formula.The other 58 CP children were appointed as the control group and the BTX-A dose was determined by routine method.Results After treatment,the motor function of the children in trial group was superior to that in the control group(P<0.05) and the duration of therapeutic effect of the trial group was significantly longer than the control group(P<0.001).Conclusion BTX-A dose calculated according to the formula can increase effect and prolong the duration.

Objective To investigate the optimal dose of botulinum toxic A(BTX-A)for releasing spasticity of cerebral palsy(CP)and related factors.Methods 39 children with CP was treated by BTX-A injected in local muscles to release the spasticity.Results After treatment,23 children had good curative effect.In them,15 cases were male,8 cases were female,the mean age was 60.7±26.9 months(range 33 to 145 months).There was no correlation between the optimal unit dose of BTX-A and those including sex,age,body weight,diagnosis type,degree of Gross Motor Function Classification System(GMFCS),etiological factor and the injections.There was a linear positive correlation between the optimal unit dose of BTX-A and the score of Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS).Conclusion BTX-A can release the spasticity of CP children,the injecting dose is correlated with MAS score.

ObjectiveTo improve the assessment of the cerebral palsy (CP) children with mental retarded disability, develop their potentials and prevent further psycho-psychotics disability.Methods220 children with CP were assessed respectively before and after rehabilitation using IQ test, and diagnosed and received rehabilitation for one treating course (3 months).Results164 children had found with mental retarded among 220 cases, made up 74.5% of the total. 90% of the children with serious CP were also with mental retardation. The children had effect after rehabilitation was with a lower rate having mental retardation.ConclusionMany factors can influence the results of the intelligence assessment. Comprehensive judgment and analysis should be made in the intelligence assessment for the children with CP, a better and more reasonable assessment method is expected.
