ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the scalp acupunction on children with cerebral palsy.Methods56 cases with cerebral palsy were divided into two groups: the treating group(scalp acupuncture and modern rehabilitation) and the control group(modern rehabilitation only) with 28 cases each. The ADL and the motion function were compared. ResultsThere is a significant defference between the two groups on the ADL, while no significant defference was observed on motor function between the two groups.Conclusions Scalp acupuncture is effective on improvment of ADL of the children with cerebral palsy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cognition on hand hygiene and the reasons affecting the hand hygiene performance in hospital.METHODS Medical staff of 358 parsons were randomly selected by questionnaire.RESULTS It was higher cognition among medical staff on hand washing indication learned from Standards of Hand Hygiene among Medical Personnel in Medical Institutions(draft for soliciting opinions) issued by the Ministry of Health.The cognition coincidence of hand sterilization indication was 68.04%,but existed some less cognition or miscognition in this field among them.The main factors affecting the hand hygiene performance were busy at work,to which was the primary cause to affect use of stream water to wash hands.The concept that using stream water wash hand is reliable is the primary cause influence medical staffs to use alcohol scrape hand.CONCLUSIONS The nosocomial infection monitoring,guidance and control should be emphasized in the field of more use of the fast hand antiseptics instead washing hands and supervising the relevance of the amount of hand hygiene product consumpsion to nosocomial infections.

Alzheimers disease (AD) is a progressively and retrogressively neurodegenerative disorder of central nervous system severely threatening the aged. The studies of animal models, which share the very similar neuropathological characteristics with human, provide tools for the understanding of the etiology, mechanisms and medicine screening of AD. The distribution and chemical composition of amyloid-beta (A- beta) peptide -positive deposits were investigated in various non-human primate models. Various proportions of A- beta deposits contained cholinesterase activities, apolipoprotein E(ApoE) and alpha1-antichymotrypsin immunoreactivity. Alterations in the basal forebrain cholinergic system have been widely studied, but the magnitude of decline and relationship to cognitive impairment are still a matter of debate. This article also includes the latest research of the changing on tau, subtle structural alterations in axons, and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the brain tissues of the non-human primate models.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of electroacupuncture in Guanyuan(Ren4) and Zhongji(Ren3) on the functions of neurogenic bladder in patients with spinal cord injury(SCI) with the standard urodynamic measure.Methods15 patients with neurogenic bladder after SCI were included into the study.During urodynamic measure,they accepted electroacupuncture in Guanyuan(Ren4) and Zhongji(Ren3).The changes of the bladder storage volume(VH2O),bladder pressure(Pves),detrusor pressure(Pdet) and bladder compliance(BC) before and after electroacupuncture were recorded.ResultsThe patients' VH2O increased from(124.00±77.37) ml to(144.47±85.87) ml(P<0.01),Pves decreased from(65.33±23.90) cmH2O to(55.27±17.52) cmH2O(P<0.05),Pdet decreased from(52.87±18.68) cmH2O to(44.93±15.82) cmH2O(P<0.05)and BC increased from(2.35±2.05) ml/cmH2O to(3.48±3.04) ml/cmH2O(P<0.01).ConclusionElectroacupuncture is effective on neurogenic bladder recovery in patients with SCI.

Chinese Medical therapy such as herbal treatment, acupuncture were used in rehabilitaion for spinal cord injury and proved effective. It is important to explore the advantage and disadvantage of them.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Compound Anisodine Injection in the acupoint of the patients with cerebral infarction (CI) at recovery stage. Methods54 patients with CI at recovery stage were injected Compound Anisodine Injection into the acupoint Taiyang. They were assessed with the Ashworth Scales 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 h after injection. ResultsThe scores of Ashworth scale in affected sides reduced first and then reconverted after injection, but no changes in the health side. ConclusionThe Compound Anisodine Injection injecting into the acupoint Taiyang can reduce the muscular tension of paralytic limbs of patients with CI stroke at recovery stage.

Objective To study the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)therapy on shoulder hand syndrome(SHS).Methods 50 patients with SHS were divided into rehabilitation group and control group.The patients in rehabilitation group accepted physiotherapy and TCM therapy,which include marinate in traditional herb,pulsed electromagnetic therapy,massage and stimulate point.The patients in control group accepted physiotherapy only.They were evaluated after 1 month.Results The cured rate and the improved rate in rehabilitation group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The TCM therapy is effective on SHS.

ObjectiveTo probe into the maternal care utilization by minority women, for the purpose of policy recommendations on better maternal care in minority areas. MethodsA combination of stratified random sampling and typical sampling was made on 445 married women of reproductive age in six counties in Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai and Tibet provinces, a field survey on their utilization of maternal care services. ResultsTheir average prenatal detection rate is 78.24％, a level lower than the national rural average of 93.7％ and grade-4 rural average of 81.2％ in 2008; their post partook rate is 30.7％, lower than the national rural average of 54.3％ and grade-4 rural average of 58.9％ in the same period; their average coverage rate is 52.18％, a level lower than the national rural average of 87.1％and grade-4 rural average of 64.3％ in 2008. ConclusionThe maternal care utilization is found to be low for women in minority areas. Effective solutions are expected for payment of indirect expenditure of hospital delivery; better health education for enhancing health knowledge and health awareness of minority women; effective incentive mechanism for village doctors, consolidating the base of the three-level healthcare network.
