Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Dong’s Pushing Epiglottis Cartilage Method for the treatment of children food retention through randomized, parallel and controlled clinical trial.Methods Totally 72 children diagnosed with children food retention were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 36 cases for each group. Children of the treatment group were treated with Dong’s Pushing Epiglottis Cartilage Method, while children of the control group were treated with acupuncture Four Seam. The clinical symptoms, gastric half-emptying time and antral contraction frequency of the two groups before and after the treatment were compared. Results After treatment, integral of clinical symptom in both groups were obviously improved compared with before treatment (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, gastric half-emptying time and antral contraction frequency of the both groups were obviously improved, with significant difference (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The total effectiveness of the treatment group was 97.2% (35/36) and the control group was 94.4% (34/36), with no significantly difference (P>0.05).Conclusion Dong’s Pushing Epiglottis Cartilage Method has relatively good clinical efficacy for the treatment of children food retention.

Objective To detect levels of C?X?C chemokine receptor type 5 (CXCR5) and inducible costimulator(ICOS)in blister fluid of patients with bullous pemphigoid(BP), and to explore their significance in the pathogenesis of BP. Methods Blister fluid samples were collected from 15 patients with BP(experimental group)and 15 patients with second?degree burns(control group). Enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to detect the levels of CXCR5 and ICOS in the 2 groups. Results The level of CXCR5 was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group(219 ± 145.31 vs. 147 ± 23.83 ng/L, t=4.577, P<0.05), while no significant difference in the ICOS level was observed between the 2 groups (30.18 ± 14.86 vs. 21.43 ± 5.32 ng/L, t = 1.628, P > 0.05). Conclusion The expression of CXCR5 may be associated with the occurrence of BP, but further researches are needed to determine the relationship between ICOS and the occurrence of BP.

There are not many studies on chronic hepatitis C complicated by autoimmune hepatitis, and up to now, the clinical diagnosis and treatment of such diseases still face many difficulties. Although related articles put forward some recommendations, there are no standard guidelines for diagnosis and treatment, and clinical physicians need to provide treatment for these patients based on their personal experience. This article summarizes related articles on chronic hepatitis C complicated by autoimmune hepatitis in order to provide help to clinical physicians when they face similar clinical problems in the future.

This article mainly introduced the basic strategy of rehabilitation of spinal cord injury,including maintaining and improving range of motor(ROM),enhancing the muscle strength,sitting and standing balance training,respiration training,application of splints and aids.The rehabilitation objectives and approaches of each level of spinal cord injuries were also involved.

The complications of spinal cord injury(SCI)affect not only the rehabilitation treatment,but also quality of the patients' living,even threaten to patients' life,including pressure sore,complications of urinary system and respiratory system,deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary embolism,spasm,pain,autonomic dysreflexia,osteoporosis,etc.The prevention and treatment of complications of SCI may be helpful to improve patients' health,and a premise of the rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the effect of combination of baclofen, tizanidine and eperisone on moderate or severe spasticity after spinal cord injury. Methods 18 inpatients with moderate (n=2) or severe (n=16) spasticity after spinal cord injury were treated with combination of 2 or 3 kinds of drugs for 2 months, and followed up for at least 4 months with modified Ashworth scale (MAS). Their blood pressure, blood and urine routine, liver and kidney function were observed. Results Among the 16 cases of severe spasticity (MAS≥3), MAS reduced 3 grades in 3 cases, 2 grades in 12 cases, 1 grade in 1 case, with alleviation of phantom pain. For the cases of moderate spasticity (MAS=2), the MAS reduced 1 grade with alleviation of phantom pain. Slightly drowsiness was observed in 2 cases. No hepatic or renal dysfunctions was found. Conclusion Combination of baclofen, tizanidine and eperisone is effective on moderate or severe spasticity after spinal cord injury with limited side-effects.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the lower extremity deep vein thrombosis prevention in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods A total of 115 SCI patients in our department from April to May, 2015 were included. The clinical symptoms, lower limb deep vein ultrasonic testing, laboratory examination were collected to analyze the occurrence, prevention measures, the thrombus location and management of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs. Results Forty-three patients had thromboprophylaxis in other hospitals before admission, and 105 patients in our department after admission, in which, nine cases were with clinical symptoms in other hospitals and three cases in our department. No pulmonary embolism occurred in them. There was no significant difference in most laboratory index-es between patients with DVT and without DVT in lower limbs (P>0.05). Five patients were with DVT in lower limbs in 43 patients who had thromboprophylaxis, and four cases in 72 patients who did not have thromboprophylaxis. No relationship was found between thrombo-prophylaxis and DVT in lower limbs (χ2=0.663, P=0.415). Five patients were with DVT in lower limbs in 53 patients with complete SCI, and four cases in 59 patients with incomplete SCI. No relationship was found between the severity of SCI and DVT in lower limbs in other hospitals (χ2=0.028, P=0.867). Conclusion DVT in lower limbs could be also occurred in patients who accepted thromboprophylaxis. Labo-ratory indexes are inadequate for the prediction and diagnosis specificity of DVT in lower limbs.

There is autonomic nerve dysfunction after cervical spinal cord injury. Fluctuation of blood pressure and heart rate was found as orthostatic hypotension and bradycardia.

Cardiovascular disorders of spinal cord injury (SCI) are among the most common causes of death in individuals with SCI. The International Spinal Cord Injury Cardiovascular Function Basic Data Set is introduced in order to standardize the collection and reporting of a minimal amount of information on cardiovascular function in daily practice. Moreover, this data set makes it possible to evaluate and compare results from various published studies on cardiovascular function after SCI. The technical terms in this data set are defined in particular in this article.

Objective To explore correlative factors with rehabilitation outcomes in spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 226 patients were reviewed. Results Rehabilitation outcomes did not correlated with sex, occupation, and education, but correlated with the time of rehabilitation intervention, complications, hospital costs, injury severity and injury segment. Conclusion The time of rehabilitation intervention, complications, hospital costs, injury severity and injury segment are main factors related with rehabilitation outcomes of patients with SCI.
