Objective To explore effect of rehabilitation training on deglutition disorders of children with cerebral palsy . Methods Twenty-seven children patients from January to June in 2013 were set as control group and thirty-one patients from July 2013 to January 2014 as experiment group. The children in the control group were treated with tube-feeding combined with spoon feeding and bottle-feeding by professional nurse. Children in the experiment group were treated with oral rehabilitation training by professional therapists and nurses apart from the same feeding as in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of effect of deglutition within 4 weeks, time and rate of removing the stomach tube. Results The recovery of deglutition function in the experiment group was much better than that in the control group , the total effective rate and rate of removing the stomach tube within 3 months were higher and the intubation duration was significantly lower as compared with those of the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Rehabilitation training can improve the recovery of deglutition disorders, improve active feeding ability of children with cerebral palsy, shorten time of tube feeding and improve their life quality.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a global social problem. It is important to slow down the progression of CKD for economic and social concerns. In recent years, it has been found that colon is one of the vital organs which produce uremic toxins. And enterogenous uremic toxins are closely related to the prognosis of CKD. Theory of gut-kidney axis for the slowdown of CKD progression was raised by foreign scholars and became the research hot spot. Colon therapy with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used in clinical practice and is believed to slow down the progression of CKD by numerous clinical reports. However, low re-search quality and ambiguous results limited its further application. Under the guidance of senior TCM Professor Huang Chunlin, who emphasized the method of draining turbidity through bowels in the management of CKD, from the Nephrology Center, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, as well as the modern theory of gut-kidney axis, we had carried out a series of exploratory researches which will provide data and methodology support for further confirmatory studies and improve its effectiveness.
