The motor function of the trunk in 10 hemiplegic patlents was evaluated with Biodex Sys- tem Ⅱisokinetic testing aparatus. The result shows that the strength of flexors and extensors of the trunk,especially the flexors,becomes weaker(The ratio of flexors to extensors is less than 1).The patients weretreated with a series of the trunk retraining methods. The motor function of the trunk was improved aftertreatment(P<0.01 ).The total motor function(Fugl-Meyer Assessing Scale)also makes significant progress(P<0.01).The study proposes that the retraining and regaining of the trunk motor function in hemiplegiais quite important not only to the trunk but also to total motor function.

With the rapid development of imaging and percutaneous coronary intervention, the application of contrast media has become more and more widespread, and contrast-associated AKI has become one of the most common causes of acute kidney injury. Contrast-associated AKI seriously threatens patients' health and brings greater economic burden to patients, so it is particularly important to prevent the contrast-associated AKI. Nicorandil is a common vasodilator drug in clinical practice, widely used in the treatment of angina pectoris, with the effects of anti-oxidative stress, anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammatory and vasodilation, and is considered to be effective in preventing contrast - associated AKI. However, there is still a lack of further research on the efficacy of nicorandil in preventing contrast-associated AKI.

Objective:
To understand the homology and resistance characteristics of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) in healthy preschool children, so as to provide basis for disease transmission prevention and rational use of antibiotics.
Methods:
Stratified cluster random sampling method was used to sample 1 829 healthy children from six kindergartens in Shunde District, Foshan City. Nasal swabs were taken and tested for S. pneumoniae. Multi locus sequence typing was used for homology analysis. The Chi squared test and random forest analysis were used to explore the resistance characteristics.
Results:
The nasal carriage rate of S. pneumoniae and multidrug resistant S. pneumoniae (MDRSP) in children were 22.5%(412/1 829) and 21.3%(390/1 829), respectively. Homology analysis in sequence types showed that the total homology rates of 6 kindergartens were 93.5%(87/93), 91.1% (72/79), 89.2%(58/65), 88.9%(64/72), 86.2%(50/58), 77.8%(35/45), respectively. It was found that the highest homology rate was 82.8% (48/58) within class and 93.1% (81/87) between classes. S. pneumoniae was mainly resistant to azithromycin (97.1%, 400/412), erythromycin (92.0%, 379/412) and tetracycline (91.5%, 377/412). The dominant multidrug resistance pattern of MDRSP isolates was not sensitive to azithromycin, erythromycin, cotrimoxazole, tetracycline and clindamycin. Random forest analysis indicated that the important phenotypic markers associated with MDRSP were resistance to azithromycin, cotrimoxazole, tetracycline, clindamycin and erythromycin(MDG=8.94, 6.92, 5.80, 4.84, 2.58).
Conclusion
The risk of cross transmission of S. pneumoniae among preschool children is high, and direct contact is the main way of transmission. Consequently, kindergartens and health departments should take effective measures to effectively prevent and block the spread of Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Objective:To develop and internally validate a fall related injury risk nomogram in of patients in Patients in hospital.Methods:Patients who fall during the hospital stay from a grade-three general hospital of Zhejiang province were recruited. Data were collected from January 2014 to December 2019. Data was collected after patients fall in hospital, including age, sex, and 18 other predictive factors. The LASSO regression model and multivariable logistic regression analysis were applied to build a predicting model. Discrimination and calibration of the predicting model were assessed using the C-index and calibration plot. Internal validation was assessed using the bootstrapping validation.Results:Of the 243 patients included in the study, 70 patients had fall related injury. The fall related injury probability was 28.81%. Predictors contained in the prediction nomogram included age≥60, dysfunction, combined utilization of special drugs, no-escort, hypocalcemia. The model displayed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.823 (95% confidence interval 0.756-0.875) and good calibration. High C-index value of 0.803 could still be reached in the interval validation.Conclusion:This fall related injury risk nomogram in of patients in Patients in hospital incorporating the age≥60, dysfunction, combined utilization of special drugs, no-escort, hypocalcemia could be conveniently used to predict fall related injury risk of patients in hospital.
