1.Application of Motor Imagery Therapy in Stroke (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(11):1032-1033
Motor imagery therapy is based on the theory of plasticity in the central nervous system. Movement with imagery improved reconstruction of damaged motor conduction pathway, and made restoration of central nervous system. Motor imagery adapts to recovery mode of stroke, and was proved to be effective on motor function when applied with physical therapy for stroke patients. This article would review its background, mechanisms, Methods and effects, etc.

In view of the weakness of the teachers' strength, students' lack of interest and the lack of unity of teaching materials in the foreign language teaching, Oral Medicine College of Chongqing Medical University carried out the reform to the professional foreign language courses in the postgraduate education period by strengthening the preparation of special teaching materials, reinforcing teaching staff construction, reforming teaching methods and creating a learning environment. The results of teaching assessment by students and peer-reviewers show that reform has achieved good results, and aiming at the problems in the teaching practice we also put forward such improvement measures as strengthening the student-centered teaching method, promoting new teaching methods and optimizing curriculum assessment programs.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrapleural fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of childhood empyema.Methods The data from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese BioMedical (CBM),PubMed,VIP Database and Cochrane library were reviewed.Randomized control trials by using intrapleural fibrinolytic agents to treat childhood empyema were included.Two reviewers independently extracted the data from the eligible studies and evaluated the quality of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed for the results of homogeneous studies using RevMan 5.2 software,while others analyzed descriptively.Results Five randomized control trials involving 248 children with empyema were included.Meta-analysis was not made in all of the indexes because of apparent heterogeneity and limited data.Two trials were compared which involved 98 patients receiving fibrinolytic agents or 9 g/L saline.The results suggested that fibrinolytic agents shortened the length of hospital stay and reduced complication(all P < 0.05),but no significant differences were found between the 2 groups in the effective rate,duration of fever and pleural effusion amount(OR =3.61,95% CI 0.84-15.49,P > 0.05).Three trials involving 150 patients compared fibrinolytic agents and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).The data suggested that no significant differences were found between 2 groups in the effective rate (OR =0.70,95 % CI 0.30-0.61,P > 0.05),but fibrinolytic agents cost less (P < 0.05).The adverse drug reactions to intrapleural fibrinolytic agents were mild to moderate,and well tolerated.Conclusions The findings suggest that intrapleural fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of childhood empyema is safe and effective,especially in encapsulated effusion.Compared to 9 g/L saline,it can shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce complication.Compared with VATS,the curative effect is similar,while intrapleural fibrinolytic agents are economic.

Objective To evaluate the validity and responsiveness of the Chinese version of the miniBalance Evaluation Systems Test(mini-BESTest).Methods A total of 208 stroke patients were evaluated by 2 professionals using both mini-BESTest and Berg balance scale (BBS).All data were analyzed using Pearson correlation,t-test and descriptive statistical analysis.Results Significant correlation was observed between each entry of the mini-BESTest and its domain,with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.78 to 0.93 (P < 0.05).The scores of whole assessment and the three related domains were significantly correlated between mini-BESTest and BBS results,the correlation coefficients ranging from 0.68 to 0.87 (P < 0.05).After 2 weeks of treatment,there was significant improvement in each domain and in the total assessment score (P < 0.05).No floor or ceiling effects were observed in the total mini-BESTest scores,but there was a slight ceiling effect in the anticipatory and sensory orientation domains,and a slight floor effect in the reactive postural control domain.Conclusion The mini-BESTest has good validity and responsiveness,and can be applied to evaluate patients after stroke.

Objective To research the effects of somatic sense interactive game Kinect on balance and walking function in stroke patients.Methods 40 patients with stroke were divided into control group (n=20) and experimental group (n=20), who accepted conventional rehabilitation and additional somatic sense interactive game Kinect. They were evaluated with gait analysis, Berg Balance Scale, Holden Walking Function Rating Scale and Barthel Index before and after treatment. Results Both groups improved in all the indices after 4 weeks of treatment (P<0.001), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The somatic sense interactive game Kinect could further improve the balance and walking function of stroke patients.

Objective To explore the effect of American Physical Therapy Association's clinical performance instrument on undergraduate teaching in rehabilitation therapy. Methods The theory and practice lessons of Grade 2007 and 2008 were chosen. Grade 2007 adopted traditional teaching combined with 30% problem-based learning, and Grade 2008 adopted clinical performance instrument by American Physical Therapy Association. Results and Conclusion The ability to handle the whole medical standard was better in Grade 2008 than in Grade 2007 (P<0.001). And the function evaluation, treatment of implementation, the outcome assessment, guidance after discharge and preventive measures were better in Grade 2008 than in Grade 2007 (P<0.05).

TMZ-SLN were prepared by emulsification-low temperature solidification method with stearic acid. The formulation and the preparation conditions were optimized by orthogonal experiments using entrapment efficiency as the evaluation index. The morphology was detected by transmission electron microscope. The Zeta potentials and the particle size distribution were evaluated by Laser Doppler Anemometry. The entrapment efficiencies and the drug release characteristics in vitro were assessed. The result showed that TMZ-SLN were concinnous and spherical in shape. The mean diameter (d(av) ) was 65.0 +/- 6.2 nm and the Zeta potential was -37.2 mV. The average entrapment efficiency was 58.9% +/- 1.21 %. The drug release behavior in vitro conformed to Higuchi Equation. The formation of a new material phase was testified by analysis of differential scanning calorimetry.
