Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2011;17(4):372-374
ObjectiveTo investigate the influential factors on the deaf children's hearing and speech rehabilitation.Methods43 deaf children were involved in our study. They performed the hearing thresholds, hearing ability, speech ability and learning aptitude tests.ResultsGender and hearing aid mode didn't correlate with the children's hearing and speech performance (P>0.05). Hearing thresholds had significant influence on the hearing ability (P<0.05), and the speech ability had a strong correlation with the children's learning aptitude (P<0.05). The multiple regression analysis showed that the hearing ability was a significant predictor of speech ability (P<0.001).ConclusionGiving hearing compensation timely and effectively and grasping the critical period of language development to do rehabilitation training as soon as possible are very important to deaf children's rehabilitation of hearing and speech ability.

Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;31(8):887-891
Transient receptor potential(TRP) superfamily includes seven subfamilies and TRP channels are regulated by a wide variety of physical and chemical factors. Recently, several members of the TRP channel family have been reported to be regulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate(PIP2). The regulation is complex and it can be activation or inhibition, involving multiple mechanisms and factors. This review summarizes the PIP2 regulation of several TRP channels of different superfamilies and the related pathophysiological significance.
