Objective To study the rehabilitation for cerebral palsy combined with hypothalamic hamartoma. Methods A case accepting rehabilitation over 4 years was reviewed, especially the body length, body mass, bone age, hormone levels, the scores of Gross Motor Func-tion Measure (GMFM) and 0 to 6 Years Old Children's Neuropsychological Examination. Results After treatment of inhibitory precocious puberty and rehabilitation training, the body length, body mass, bone age, hormone levels, scores of GMFM and 0 to 6 Years Old Children's Neuropsychological Examination improved. Since epilepsy at the recent time, her motor, response and emotional control declined. Conclu-sion For similar cases, it is necessary to regularly review, to find problems and adjust the treatment and rehabilitation program in time.

Objective To observe the effect of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation on cerebral blood flow in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Methods 36 cases of spastic diplegia cerebral palsy were divided into control group (n=21) and obsevation group (n=15), 19 healthy children were as normal group. The control group received conventional rehabilitation training. The obsevation group received the ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation in addition. All the children received the check of transcranial color Doppler (TCD). Results Several arterials flow velocity was lower, several arterials pulsatility index and resistance index were higher in the obsevation group than in the normal group before treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the arterial flow of obsevation group improved, pulsatility index and resistance index decreased in some degrees in the obsevation group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion The cerebral blood flow is of low velocity and high resistance in spastic diplegia children, while ultra-low frequency magnetic stimulation could improve the condition of cerebral flow.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods 66 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into control group (n=33) and observation group (n=33). They were evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before and after treatment. Results The scores of GMFM improved significantly in both groups after treatment (P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training can further improve the motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Objective To analyze the effect of Botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) block on the upper extremity spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Methods From January 2004~December 2011, 47 children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were divided into control group (n=25) and experimental group (n=22). The control group was administered by occupational therapy. The experimental group was treated by BTX-A block in addition. The dose of BTX-A block was identified with the body weight of the child and the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). The dose of injection ranged from 30 IU to 110 IU, average (50.7±12.7) IU. Results There was no significant difference between 2 groups in scores of MAS and Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF) before treatment (P>0.05). The MAS score reduced in the experimental group 1 month after treatment (P<0.01), and was lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). The score of STEF increased in both groups (P<0.05), and it was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion The BTX-A block can decline the upper extremity muscle tone in children with cerebral palsy efficiently, and help to improve the upper extremity function.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of structured intelligence training system on the ability of children with brain injury. Methods100 children with brain injury were divided in the structured intelligence training (SI) group (n=50) and the routine training (R) group. They were assessed with Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children. ResultsThe scores of Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children in both groups improved after training, and improved more in SI group than in R group (P＜0.01), especially in the items of cognition, self-management and social adaptation (P＜0.05). ConclusionThe structured intelligence training system may improve the ability of children with brain injury.

Objective To apply karyotype analysis/genetic testing in children suspected with hereditary disease. Methods From July, 2014 to July, 2016, a total of 47 cases in our department were tested using G-banding karyotype analysis or selected the relevant genetic package, for screening the related diseases. Results 38 cases received karyotype analysis, in which three cases were abnormal, and one case was diagnosed definitely. And nine cases received related genetic testing, in which seven cases were abnormal, and four cases were diag-nosed definitely. Totally, the positive rate was 21.28%, and the diagnosis rate was 10.64%. Conclusion Karyotype analysis/genetic testing is an etiological diagnosis method for highly suspected hereditary disease in children.

Objective: To observe the effect of compound preparation of milkvetch root and breviscapine (HDs) on the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood and brain and memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease rats.Methods: The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (10 rats /group): the normal control group, Alzheimer's disease (AD) model group induced by AlCl3(5 mg·kg -1·d-1,ig) and D-gal (40 mg·kg-1·d-1,ip), and 3 AD groups respectively treated with different drugs including piracetam (0.15 g·kg-1·d-1,ig), HDs1(1.5 ml·kg-1·d-1,ip) and HDs2 (3 ml·kg-1·d-1,ip).After 90-day treatment, the step-down test was used to detect the learning and memory ability, and SOD and LDH activity and MDA concentration in blood and brain were examined as well.Results: Compared with that in AD model group, the ability of learning and memory was improved, the activity of SOD and LDH increased significantly, the concentration of MDA decreased significantly in blood and brain in HDs treated groups.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but they were not restored to normal levels.Some indexes of HDs2 group were better than those of piracetam positive control group and HDs1 group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion: HDs can effectively reduce MDA concentration, increase SOD and LDH activity in blood and brain, and improve the ability of learning and memory of AD rats.

Objective To summarize the result of blood examination for the children with the developmental retardation and suspected inherited metabolic diseases. Methods Tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the small molecule metabolites content of acylcarnitine and amino acid in filter paper in 97 children from March 2010 to October 2013. Results There were 3 cases of positive (3.09%), 55 of suspicion (56.7%). Conclusion Tandem mass spectrometry is valuable to screen etiology for children with developmental retardation.

Objective To investigate the long-term efficacy of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) on spasticity in cerebral palsy, and theeffect of rehabilitation on it. Methods 230 children with spastic cerebral palsy were treated with BTX-A block. The dose of BTX-A wasidentified with the weight of the children and the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). They were divided into group A who exercised morethan 2 h/d, and group B who exercised less than 2 h/d or not. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) 1 year aftertreatment. Results There was no significant difference between group A and B with ages, weight, MAS, GMFM before block (P>0.05), norwith BTX-A effect time (P>0.05). The GMFM improved significantly in both group A and B 1 year after block (P<0.05), and it improvedmore in group A than group B (P<0.01). Conclusion The long-term efficacy of BTX-A block is positive. The rehabilitation training afterblock can help children to improve their gross motor function.

Objective To observe the effect of forearm crutches on motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods 60 children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The control group accepted rou-tine rehabilitation, while the observation group were also trained to use forearm crutches. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) and Balancer. The way of item 70 of GMFM-88 was used to assess the mobile capability. Results The scores of GMFM-88 significantly improved in both groups after treatment (t>6.002, P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t=2.317, P<0.05). The whole path length and the circumference area reduced in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and reduced more in the observation group with the assist of the forearm crutches (P<0.01). The incidence of walking was more in the observa-tion group with the assistant of the forearm crutches (χ2=25.87, P<0.01). Conclusion Forearm crutches assistant can improve the recovery of motor function, balance and walking ability in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
