Objective To explore the health education model of cerebral palsy rehabilitation.Methods Forty children with spastic cerebral palsy were screened and randomly divided into the therapy group and the control group.All the children received common health education,but parents of the therapy group were offered new standardized systematic health education whenever their children were in hospital or discharged from hospital by primary nurses.The Improved Ashworth Spasm Evaluation,GMFM evaluation and ADL evaluation were respectively performed in both the therapy and the control groups before the treatment and after six-month rehabilitation.Results There was no significant difference in the index score between both groups before the treatment.After six months,all the above indicators increased in both groups.And notably,significandy more increment was observed compared with the control group.Conclusions The new health education can further improve gross motor function and ADL of cerebral palsy children,which can be popularized and used as a new health education model for cerebral palsy rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and miR-185-5p in the process of joint injury in acute gouty arthritis (AGA). Methods The serum miR-185-5p levels of 89 AGA patients and 91 healthy volunteers were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The correlation between miR-185-5p expression level and VAS score or IL-1β expression level was evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficient method. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of miR-185-5p in AGA. THP-1 cells were induced by sodium urate (MSU) to construct an in vitro acute gouty inflammatory cell model. After the expression level of miR-185-5p in THP-1 cells was upregulated or downregulated by transfection of miR-185-5p mimics or inhibitors in vitro, inflammatory cytokines of THP-1 cells, such as IL-1β, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), were detected by ELISA. The luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the interaction between miR-185-5p and the 3'-UTR of IL-1β. Results Compared with the healthy control group, the expression level of serum miR-185-5p in AGA patients was significantly reduced. The level of serum miR-185-5p was negatively correlated with VAS score and IL-1β expression level. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.905, the sensitivity was 80.17% and the specificity was 83.52%. Down-regulation of miR-185-5p significantly promoted the expression of IL-1β, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), while overexpression of miR-185-5p showed the opposite results. Luciferase reporter gene assay showed that IL-1β was the target gene of miR-185-5p, and miR-185-5p negatively regulated the expression of IL-1β. Conclusion miR-185-5p alleviates the inflammatory response in AGA by inhibiting IL-1β.
