Objective To value the application of surface electromyography(sEMG)in assessing the functional electrical stimulation(FES)used in children with spastic diplegia.Methods 20 children with spastic diplegia were treated with FES.They were assessed with the sEMG and the clinical assessment before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the iEMG of the biceps brachii and quadriceps decreased significantly on the functional position,but increased significantly when the muscles contracted.Conclusion FES can reduce the spasticity and increase the strength of the limbs in children with spastic diplegia.The sEMG can be used as an objective assessment tool.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the effects of ?-1bIFN on the development process from the hepatitis gravis to postnecrotic cirrhosis.METHODS:The change of serum liver fibrosis markers and hepatic function were observed in treatment group and control group before and after treatment.RESULTS:(1)In treatment group,all the serum liver fibrosis markers were decreased after treatment and were significantly different from those in control group(P0.05).(2)After treatment,the levels of serum albumin,globulin and count of platelet reverted to normal in treatment group and the levels were significantly different from those in control group(P

OBJECTIVE:To improve the quality of drug consultation.METHODS:The drug consultation records of a total of 1 663 cases in our hospital from July 2004 to July 2007 were analyzed statistically by a retrospective method.RESULTS:Of the drug consultation records of a total of 1 663 cases,the chief questions consulted were adverse drug reactions and long-term medication safety(25.2%),dosage and administration(21.1%),medication for special populations(9.7%),drug interactions(8.1%),pharmacological action and indications(7.1%),and generic name and composition of drugs(5.2%).CONCLUSION:The drug consultation service in our hospital achieved a remarkable efficacy in guiding physicians and pharmacists on rational drug use;however,it has its problems and remains to be improved further.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of diammonium glycyrrhizinate in the treatment of drug-induced liver injury according to present clinical studies. METHODS: Retrieved from CBM and the CNKI from 1994 to 2009, literatures about the randomized controlled trials that the effective rate of diammonium glycyrrhizinate was compared with that of other hepatoprotective with drug-induced liver injury and drug-induced liver disease as study subjects. RESULTS: 18 RCTs including 1,644 patients with drug-induced liver injury were enrolled. The effective rate of diammonium glycyrrhizinate group was higher than that of control group, statistical significance was noted in two groups (P

USA is the first country implementing the UDI program at national level,and the UDI rules and GUDID guidance have been issued by FDA recently to officially launch the implementation of UDI. The paper reviewed the advancement of UDI program,dis-cussed the framework of UDI system,analyzed the approaches of UDI implementation such as accredited issuing agencies and GUDID et al, and made some suggestions on the development of medical device coding system in our country.

Objective To observe the effect of static balance test and training equipment on the equilibrium function in children with spastic diplegia.Methods 24 children with spastic diplegia were treated with visual feedback balance training besides routine rehabilitation training.All cases were assessed with Berg Balance Scale(BBS) and the static balance test and training equipment when eyes opened and closed,before and after the 8-week training.Results After the 8 week-training,the BBS scores of all children were higher than that before training(P<0.05).In the segment of the static balance test,fall index,weight distribution index and stability index decreased significantly(P<0.05～0.01).Conclusion The equilibrium function of the children with cerebral palsy can be assessed and pertinent training can be performed with balance equipment.

Objective To explore the surface electromyography(EMG)characteristics of biceps brachii during isometric contraction in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.Methods The surface electromyograms signals of biceps brachii of 10 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy during passive isometric contraction were recorded.Results The intact side registered a stronger EMG than that of the affected side,the integrated electromyography(iEMG)and root mean square(RMS)levels from the intact side were higher than those of affected side significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The results of electromyographic analysis are consistent with Modified Ashworth Scale.Electromyographic analysis can provide a satisfactory evaluation of the muscle tone in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

AIM:To observe the therapeutic effect of aescine in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse(LIDP).METHODS:One hundred and seventy-six patients with LIDP were divided into 2 groups:aescine group of 80 patients［M56,F24;age(43±s17)a,course of disease(7.4±2.3) mo］ received conventional therapy plus aescine 10-15 mg in 5 % glucose or 0.9 % sodium chloride injection 250 mL,iv,drip,bid,for 7-10 d.Control group of 96 patients［M57,F39;age(42±16)a,course of disease(7±3)mo］only received conventional therapy,including towing,massage,acupuncture,anodyne.Therapeutic effects of both groups were compared after 4 wk.RESULTS:The total effective rate of aescine and control group was 95 % and 81 %,respectively(P＜0.05),while in those course of disease less than 0.5 a the effective rate was 97 % and 85 %,respectively(P＜0.05).No obvious adverse reactions occoured. CONCLUSION:Aescine is safe and effective for the treatment of LIDP.The shorter the disease course is,the better the therapeutic effects are.
