Objective To observe the effect of interactive somatic game Kinect on motor of lower limbs and balance function in patients with stroke. Methods 40 inpatients were divided into experimental group (n=20) and control group (n=20). All the patients received routine rehabilitations, while the experimental group received the interactive game Kinect in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer assessment of lower limb (FMA) and Berg balance scale (BBS) before and after intervention. Results The scores of flexor synergy, extensor synergy,movement combining synergies (in sitting), lower limb total score of FMA, and the score of BBS increased more in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05) after intervention. Conclusion The interactive somatic game Kinect can further improve the motor of lower limb and balance function of patients with stroke.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of bladder-preserving local resection combined with intra-artery chemotherapy for patients with T1G3 bladder cancer.Methods Thirty five cases with T1G3 bladder cancer were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were all treated by bladder-preserving local resection combined with intra-artery chemotherapy. Results Thirty five cases were followed up. The time of follow-up ranged from 7 to 116 months,and mean time was(66.0±18.3)months.The 5 year recurrence and bladder-preserving rate were 48.6 ％(17/35)and 68.6 ％(24/35),respectively.The overall and tumor specific survival at 5 years was 77.1％ (27/35)and 82.9 ％ (29/35).The effect of bladder-preserving local resection plus intra-artery chemotherapy was satisfactory. Moreover, intra-artery chemotherapy had no obvious side effects.Conclusion Bladder-preserving local resection combined with intra-artery chemotherapy not only can retain normal bladder function, decrease in the recurrence, but also does not reduce the survival rate. It is an effective treatment for some patients with T1G3 bladder cancer instead of cystectomy over-treatment.

Objective To comparatively analyze the HIV disease progression and the death situa-tion between injecting drug users (IDUs) with HIV infection and those with HIV/HCV co-infection.Meth-ods The counts of CD4+T cells were collected through a retrospective study and the data about death situa-tion were collected with follow-up cards from 2006 to 2014 .A statistical analysis was conducted for the two groups .Results Among the 175 cases with HIV infection , the average value of primary CD 4+T cell counts was 370 cell/μl and 25.71%of them, primary CD4+T cell counts were less than 200 cell/μl.The average change rate of CD4+T cell counts was -1.50 cell/μl in month.The annual mortality rate was 18.18%. Among the 325 cases with HIV/HCV co-infection, the average value of primary CD4+T cell counts was 420 cell/μl and 20.45%of them, primary CD4+T cell counts were less than 200 cell/μl.The average change rate of CD4+T cell counts was -2.76 cell/μl in month.The annual mortality rate was 32.14%.The differ-ences between the groups were significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with patients with HIV infec-tion, those with HIV/HCV co-infection showed significantly decreased CD 4+T cell counts , resulting in a faster disease progression and a faster death .It was urgent for the management department to work out HIV prevention and therapeutic measures .

Objective To explore the application value of preoperative methylene blue staining in locating for the operation of intraspi-nal tumors. Methods The clinical data of patients with intraspinal tumors from September 2010 to September 2012 in our hospital were ret-rospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into tag group and control group according to whether stained by methylene blue or not. The operation time( min) ,intraoperative hemorrhage,the rate of total resection of tumor,spinal instability rate,tumor recurrence rate,and reopera-tion rate of two groups were compared. Results The operation time of tag group was significantly shorter than that of the control group. The amount of intraoperative bleeding was significantly less than that of in control group, the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). The total resection rate of tumor was significantly higher than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). The spinal instability rate,tumor recurrence rate and operation rate of patients within 1 year in two groups were not significant. Conclusion The methylene blue method is simple and convenient,and provides favorable conditions for the operation,which reduces the operation time and intraoperative hemorrhage,increases the rate of complete tumor resection. There was no difference in recurrence rate,operation rate and the stability of the spine within 1 year compared to traditional method.

Objective To observe the effect of somatosensory interactive technology of Kinect on post-stroke depression (PSD). Methods 60 patients with PSD were divided into control group (n=30) and experimental group (n=30), who accepted routine rehabilitation and Kinect in addition, respectively. They were assessed with Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) before and 4 weeks after intervention. Results The scores of SDS was (43.25±10.11) in the experimental group, which was less than that in the control group (55.67±8.80) after intervention (P<0.01). Conclusion Rehabilitation with somatosensory interactive technology of Kinect may improve the efficiency on PSD.

Objective To validate the discriminatory capacity of the new ankylosing spondylitis disease activity scores (ASDAS) in Chinese ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, and assess its clinical value. Method One hundred and twenty-nine patients with AS was included in the study, in which 87 were par-ticipat clinical trials with Etanercept (n=87) and 42 were participants of clinical trails with. The disease activity and treatment effecticacy were assessed by ASDAS, BASDAI and patient global assessment. Discriminatory ability of all the measures was analyzed as standardized mean difference (SMD) and (-score. Pearson's correlation, two indepen -dent samples t test and simple linear regression model were used for statistical analysis. Result The four ASDAS scores correlated well with patient global assessment (r=0.56～0.74), ESR (r=0.50～0.80) and CRP (r=0.50～0.69) both at baseline and the changes form baseline to 6 weeks after treatment. The four ASDAS outperformed BASDAI, patient global assessment, ESR and CRP in differentiating patients with different levels of disease activity and patients with different levels of change. There was little difference in performance between the four ASDAS versions. Conclusion The four ASDAS are highly discriminatory in evaluating the disease activity and the efficacy of drugs in Chinese AS patients, showing a significant value in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a screening model for females of reproductive age carrying Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) variants based on a current community health examination platform. METHODS: A total of 61 870 participants were recruited between October 2017 and October 2019. Serum creatine kinase (CK) was measured with a Roche Cobasc 701/702 using an enzymatic rate method. Genetic testing was offered to those with a CK level of ≥ 200 U/L. For carriers of DMD variants, genetic counseling and follow up were provided. RESULTS: For the 61 870 females participating in the program, 1078 were found with raised serum CK (≥ 200 U/L), of which 618 (57.33%) accepted CK re-measurement after at least a two-week interval. One hundred and twenty cases were found with sustained serum CK elevation, of which 6 were confirmed to be definite DMD carriers regardless of family history. Genetic testing was provided to 33 females with a family history for DMD, and 13 were determined as definite carriers. An affected fetus was detected by prenatal diagnosis. After genetic counseling, the parents had opted induced abortion. CONCLUSION Large-scale DMD carrier screening through a three-step approach based on the current community health examination platform is both feasible and cost effective.
