目的探讨矫形器训练对改善下肢功能障碍患者日常生活活动能力的作用。方法将64例下肢功能障碍患者随机分为矫形器组和对照组各32例。对照组采用自我锻炼方法,矫形器组安装矫形器,两组均同时接受正规康复训练、心理指导及康复护理。于分组前及分组治疗4周后评定患者的疗效。结果两组患者的Barthel指数评分均有一定程度的提高,但矫形器组患者的评分明显优于对照组(P<0.01)。结论下肢功能障碍患者使用矫形器4周后即能明显提高日常生活活动能力。

Objective To investigate the preventive effects of curcumin for status epilepticus(SE) induced by lithium chloride-pilocarpine.Methods Totally 45 Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups: preventive group(n=15),non-preventive group(n=15),and control group(n=15).The latency peroid and incidence of SE were recorded.The surviving neurons were stained by using nissl staining,and the programme death cells were detected by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) in hippocampal CA3.Results The SE incidence of preventive group was 66.7%,which was significantly lower than that of non-preventive group(P0.05).Conclusion Pretreatment of curcumin can prevent the SE induced by lithium chloride-pilocarpine and the pretreatment can not protect the neuron.
