Objective:To explore a scheduling method of rehabilitation medical resource for smart traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) for dysphagia because of cerebral apoplexy in order to save diagnosis time for patient and reasonably arrange treatment process for medical personnel.Methods: We designed the framework of smart TCM rehabilitation system, and proposed the medical resource scheduling model including acupuncture, massage and rehabilitation training. In addition, the genetic algorithm was employed to establish the scheduling method under the optimal objective towards the scheduling time.Results: (1) The treatment time of five dysphagia patients by using rehabilitation resource scheduling in Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital were saved 42.5% from the total treatment time compared to without scheduling; (2)The rehabilitation process of twenty virtual dysphagia patients were treated by the simulation scheduling, and 71% of total treatment time was saved. The efficiency of diagnosis and treatment was improved obviously .Conclusion: Smart TCM rehabilitation resource scheduling method can be used in an assisted rehabilitation therapy for dysphagia because of cerebral apoplexy, and it can improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment for patient and save a lot of medical resources.

Objective To study the effectiveness of electroacupuncture plus bloodletting in treating deglutition disorder after cerebral stroke.Method Eighty-four patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 42 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture plus bloodletting and rehabilitation training, while the control group was intervened by rehabilitation training. After 2 treatment courses and 6 months after the treatment, Kubota's water drinking test and clinical bedside assessment were evaluated to measure the short-term and long-term therapeutic efficacies. By observing the change of clinical bedside assessment score, the effect of electroacupuncture plus bloodletting on certain symptoms of deglutition disorder was analyzed.Result The total effective rate was 90.5% in the treatment group versus54.8% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Respectively after 2 treatment courses and 6 months after the intervention, the drinking water test scores in the treatment group were superior to those in the control group (P<0.05). The bedside assessment scores in the treatment group were better than those in the control group respectively after 2 treatment courses and 6 months after the intervention (P<0.05). Post-treatment water drinking and bedside assessment scores were significantly better than pre-treatment scores in both groups (P<0.05). According to the observation of short-term and long-term change of bedside assessment, electroacupuncture plus bloodletting significantly improved both short-term and long-term scores of throat function, pharynx reflex, involuntary cough, throat movement, and swallowing cough (P<0.05).Conclusion Clinical observation showed that electroacupuncture plus bloodletting can produce significant short-term and long-term therapeutic efficacies in treating deglutition disorder after cerebral stroke. Electroacupuncture plus bloodletting can produce satisfactory effects in improving mouth-phase and pharynx-phase symptoms and signs in treating deglutition disorder after cerebral stroke.

Glomus tumors are well recongnized and well documented lesions which usually present as painful dermal nodules in the fingers. A glomus consists of arteriovenous anastomosis which may be enclosed by a connective tissue capsule. They are described occuring in the skin and subcutaneous tissue on the flexor surfaces of the fingers and toes and in the nailbeds; but they also occur elsewhere in the corium. Approximately one-third of glomus tumor occur in the nail bed. These tumors may occur at any age. This paper reports a glomus tumor occuring in the subcutaneous tissue of the right cubital fossa of a 24 years old female. Despite extreme pain and tenderness with a slight touch, there was 7 years delay in the diagnosis but complete recovery followed excision of the tumor.

This paper records the observation of one remarkable instance of osteoid osteoma, in a single tibia presenteng a double nidus separately. X ray film checked on three years ago revealed of no abnormal findings when this patient was 17 years old. This case is 20 years oId female who complained of severe pain in her right tibia especially at night which was relieved by aspirin. Recently Lichtenstein reported two cases of osteoid osteoma with multicentrc nidus in a single bone in one sclierotic area, but in this case the nidus was about three inches apart in its own sclerotic area.
