Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus occupation therapy for fine motor functions in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods:A total of 80 cerebral palsy kids with fine motor dysfunction were allocated into two groups by envelop, 40 cases in each group. Cases in the control group were treated with occupation therapy. Based on the therapy given to the control group, cases in the treatment group were supplemented with acupuncture at the points of the three yang meridians of hand. The treatment was done every other day and 10 times for a course. There was a 15-day interval between two courses, and 3 courses in total. The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated using Peabody developmental motor scale 2 (PDMS-2) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) before and after treatment. Results:After treatment, the standard score for grasping (Grs), standard score for visual-motor integration (Vis), fine motor quotient (FMQ) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). The improvement in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Acupuncture plus occupation therapy can achieve better effect than occupation therapy alone in improving fine motor functions of upper limbs in cerebral palsy kids.

Objective To investigate the psychological pressure levels of pregnant women in late pregnancy and to analyze the influencing factors. Provide the basis for the intervention measures. Methods Totally 160 pregnant women in late pregnancy who took part in the antenatal examination were recruited and investigated using Pregnancy Pressure Scale (PPS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and demographic questionnaire. Results Total score of PPS was (53.06 ± 10.24) points. In order to protect the health and safety of the fetus in pregnant women caused by maternal psychological stress score ranked first in three pressure source bit highest score of (16.46 ± 5.16) points. Total score of PSQI was (7.51± 2.89) points. Compared with the different dimensions of sleep quality, the two dimensions of sleep time and falling asleep time were negatively correlated with pregnancy stress, and the rest were positively correlated. Age, pregnancy, parity, plan the actual sleep time, sleep disorders will be planned to as independent variables. In the late pregnant women psychological pressure as the dependent variable, multiple linear stepwise regression analysis, found that there are 3 variables into the regression equation: parity, pregnancy in plan, sleep disorders (P<0.05). Conclusions Pregnant women have greater psychological pressure in late pregnancy, influenced by the conception, planning pregnancy, sleep disorders and other factors. Nursing staff should take care and guidance for the specific situation, so as to reduce the pregnancy pressure of pregnant women in late pregnancy, and better help them successfully pass the gestation period and delivery period.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of scalp acupuncture for children with cerebral palsy whose video-electroencephalogram(VEEG) showed epileptiform discharges.
METHODSA total of 184 children with cerebral palsy whose VEEG showed epileptiform discharges or those combined with epilepsy were randomly assigned into a combination group (99 cases) and a rehabilitation group (85 cases). All the cases were treated with the original antiepileptic drugs. The conventional physical training and massage were applied in the rehabilitation group for 3 courses with 20 d at the interval, once a day, 5 times a week and 15 times as one course. Based on the treatment as the rehabilitation group, scalp acupuncture was used in the combination group for 3 courses with 15 d at the interval, once the other day and 10 times as one course. Shenting (GV 24), Benshen (GB 13), Sishencong (EX-HN 1) were selected as the main acupoints, combined with motor zone, foot motor-sensory area, balance zone,and temple-three-needle etc. Clinical onset and VEEG results were observed before and after treatment.
RESULTSAfter treatment in the combination group, 27 cases improved; 47 cases had no effect; 25 cases aggravated. While in the rehabilitation group, 11 cases improved; 46 cases had no effect; 28 cases aggravated. There was no statistically significance between the two groups (>0.05). As for the cases with epilepsy onset in the combination group, 8 cases improved; 4 cases had no effect; 4 cases aggravated. In the rehabilitation group, 4 cases had no effect; 7 cases aggravated. The result in the combination group was better than that in the rehabilitation group (<0.05). As for the cases with epileptiform discharges in the combination group, 19 cases improved; 43 cases had no effect; 21 cases aggravated. In the rehabilitation group, 11 cases improved; 42 cases had no effect; 21 cases aggravated. There was no significance between the two groups (>0.05).
CONCLUSIONSScalp acupuncture therapy does not increase the risk of onset or epileptiform discharges in the children with cerebral palsy combined with epilepsy or epileptiform discharges. Scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation is better than simple rehabilitation for thosewith cerebral palsy and epilepsy onset.
