Objective To analyze the correlation of dysarthria and the type of cerebral palsy, motor function, mental and language developmentlevel in school-age children with cerebral palsy. Methods 102 children with cerebral palsy in the school were assessed withFrenchay Activities Index, Gross Motor Function Classification System, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, and Sign-Significate relations(S-S). Results and Conclusion All the children with cerebral palsy have dysarthria at different degrees in the 8 items of Frenchay ActivitiesIndex. The dysarthria degree is correlated with the type of cerebral palsy, the mental and the language development level, but not correlatedto the motor function.

Objective To explore the correlation between inelligence and speech development of school age children with cerebral palsy.Methods 46 school age children with cerebral palsy were evaluated with China Rehabilitation Research Centre Sign-Significance test (S-S)and Wechsler Intelligence Scale. The correlation between S-S and Wechsler Intelligence Scale was analyzed. Results The intelligence quotient decreased in 36 cases (78.26%), mostly mild to moderate. The development of speech delayed in 36 cases (78.26%). The outcomes of Wechsler Intelligence Scale significantly correlated with those of S-S Test (P<0.001). Conclusion There is a correlation between intelligence and speech development of school age children with cerebral palsy.

Eighty patients with hyperthyroidism treated in PLA 903 Hospital from February 2016 to May 2017 were randomly divided into two groups with 40 cases in each group.Patients in control group received routine outpatient education and those in study group received regular formatted mobile short message during follow-up in addition to routine education.The knowledge of disease,the compliance and satisfaction of treatment were assessed.After 12 weeks of follow-up,the TSH level was higher [0.430(0.050,2.806) vs.0.210(0.003,1.098) mU/L,Z=-8.07,P<0.01],FT3 [(3.24± 1.18) vs.(4.18±2.07)ng/L,t=-2.49,P< 0.05] and FT4 levels [(12.43±6.82) vs.(19.58±19.06) ng/L,t=-2.26,P<0.05] were lower in study group than those in control group.The scores of disease knowledge (6.12± 1.77 vs.5.25±1.79,t=4.67,P<0.05),the Morisky scores of medication compliance (3.77±0.47 vs.3.37±0.73,t=8.22,P<0.01),the rates of compliance for returning (85% vs.65%,x2=4.27,P<0.05) and the satisfaction rates with treatments (93% vs.75%,x2=3.30,P<0.05) in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group.The score of disease knowledge in study group increased from 4.32± 1.55 before treatment to 6.12± 1.77 after 12 weeks of follow-up (t=22.65,P<0.01).The results indicate that the health education plus regular formatted text message during follow-up can effectively improve the disease knowledge score,the compliance and satisfaction with treatment in patients with hyperthyroidism.
