Objective To design and apply a kind of controllable enema input apparatus in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 20 SCI patients with chronic constipation were included. Their defecation time, nature of defecation and usage of enema of 5 times of defecation were recorded before and after using the new apparatus. Results There were significant differences in the defecation time, nature of defecation and usage of enema before and after using the new apparatus (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of the new controllable enema input apparatus may shorten the defecation time, improve the nature of defecation, and reduce the usage of enema in SCI patients with chronic constipation.
2.Pathophysiology and Treatment of Secondary Hydronephrosis after Spinal Cord Injury (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(12):1026-1028
Hydronephrosis after spinal cord injury (SCI) may result in renal insufficiency which ranks as the most common late cause of death in SCI patients. SCI may cause vesicourethral dysfunction of nerve regulation, which in turn brings about functional obstruction, high intravesical pressure, increase of the incidence and frequency of detrusor uninhibitory constractions, leading to hydronephrosis. The paramount principle of prevention and treatment of hydronephrosis is keeping low vesical pressure (storage pressure <40 cmH2O, voiding pressure <60 cmH2O). Oral anticholinergics combined with intermittent catheterization are the best choice for the slight hydronephrosis, urinary operations such as botulinum toxin injection into detrusor, transurethral sphincterotomy, ileocystoplasty may be needed for the moderate and severe hydronephrosis.

Objective To investigate the relations between radiological findings and pathological classification of superficial depressed(Ⅱc type)early gastric cancer.Methods Radiological features in subtonic double contrast barium examination and the endoscopic pictures of early gastric cancer compared with the global pathological specimens and micro-pathological features were prospectively studied.Combined with the gastric endoscopic pictures,the sharpness of margin of the lesions,the changes of converging mucosal folds and the changes of the depressed surface on the film of double contrast barium examination were analyzed.The correlation between the radiological features and histological classification of gastric cancer including well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma(tub1),moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma(tub2),poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma(por)and signet-ring cell carcinoma(sig) were studied.Results In 102 cases of Ⅱc type early gastric cancer,there were tubl 27 cases,tub2 11, por 26 and sig 38 cases histologically.The margin of the depressed lesions of tub1(24 cases)and tub2 (9 cases)cancers were mostly unsharply demarcated or with fine spicular border,while the margin of lesions of por(15 cases)and sig(31 cases)were mostly clearly and sharply demarcated,with statistical significance (P

ObjectiveTo compare differences in life satisfaction, quality of life and mood between UK and Chinese tetraplegia patients after rehabilitation.MethodsThe sample consisted of 44 tetraplegics, 22 from UK and 22 from China, the survey about life satisfaction, quality of life, anxiety and depression was made and analyzed.ResultsPatients of UK group were significantly more satisfied with their situations of vocational and financial, and family life than that in Chinese group, and more active with their value of life, meaning of life and mood than that in Chinese group. No significant differences were identified between two groups in life as a whole, self care, leisure situation, sexual life, partnership relations, contact with friends and ratings of overall quality of life.ConclusionIt is very important to enhance the psychological adaptation of disability so as to improve the quality of life of the tetraplegics in China.

Objective:To discuss the methods and effects of clinical pharmacists in the Chinese and western medicine pharmaceu-tical care for one myelitis patient infected by brucellosis. Methods:Taking one myelitis patient infected by brucellosis as the example, clinical pharmacists provided Chinese and western medicine pharmaceutical care through making individualized drug regimen, perform-ing drug education and so on. Results:Clinical pharmacists participated in the therapeutic process actively, and performed Chinese and western medicine pharmaceutical care. As a result, the body temperature, look,tongue coating and excrement of the patient were obvi-ously improved. Conclusion:Performing Chinese and western medicine pharmaceutical care in clinics is very important for safety and effectiveness of drugs and improvement of drug use level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical manifestation, mechanism and optimal treatment of hydronephrosis after spinal cord injury. Methods58 slight and moderate cases were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThere were no differences in the remitted time among the therapies of indwelling catheter, intermittent catheterization and medicine, mixed therapy. 56 (96.55%) SCI hydronephrosis remitted after treatment, 28(48.28%) recurred within 3 months. The recurrence rate of the patients with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (57.14%) was higher than that of the detrusor hyperreflexia (28.57%) and the detrusor hyporeflexia (14.29%). The recurrence was associated with the fact that many patients couldn't keep up with the systematic therapy.ConclusionThe onset of SCI hydronephrosis is indistinct and recurrent easily. Keeping up with intermittent catheterization and taking medicine can prevent SCI hydronephrosis recurrence effectively.

ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy and tolerability of tolterodine on spinal cord injured (SCI) patients with detrusor hyperreflexia.Methods39 cases were treated with tolterodine administration for at least two weeks (8.31±6.47 months in average), the range of drug dosage was 1 mg to 12 mg per day, 5.82±3.13 mg in average. Twelve of them have taken the drug (1-8 mg per day) for one year.ResultsAfter two weeks of treatment, 37 cases (94.87%) had a good effect, and the bladder volume increased 74.36±35.32 ml (P<0.001), the mean frequency of micturition decreased 3.85±2.38 times (P<0.001), urine of each micturition increased 49.74±41.20 ml (P<0.001), the residual urine increased 64.62±41.98 ml(P<0.001).Additionally, hydronephrosis of two cases was remitted. The adverse events: 8 cases of thirsty, 1 case of tachycardia and 1 case of urine retention.ConclusionTolterodine has a good effect and limited side effects on SCI patients with detrusor hyperreflexia.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect and limitation of α1 adrenergic recepter blockers used in bladder management of spinal cord injured patients.Methods70 patients were divided into two groups who received intermittent catheterization and intermittent catheterization combined with Alfuzosin respectively. After 4 months of treatment, the residual urine and the time to reduce the residual urine were compared.ResultsThere was no differences in deducing the residual urine and the time to reduce the residual urine between the two groups.ConclusionAlfuzosin has limited effect in reducing the residual urine in bladder management.

OBJECTIVETo assess clinical therapeutic effect and safety of acupuncture combined with fuxiting on depression.
METHODSFifty-three cases of depression were divided into an observation group (n = 30) treated by acupuncture combined with fuxiting and a control group treated by fuxiting. Their clinical therapeutic effects were assessed by HAMD, HAMA and CGI, and adverse effects by TESS.
RESULTSAfter treatment of 6 weeks, the total effective rate was 80.0% in the observation group and 69.6% in the control group with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in scores of HAMD and HAMA before and after treatment in the two groups (P < 0.01), with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The adverse effect in the observation group was less and milder than that in the control group.
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture combined fuxiting has good therapeutic effect on depression with less and mild adverse effects.
