ObjectiveTo explore the state of intelligence and adaptive behavior of children with cerebral palsy and the correlation between them.Methods169 children with cerebral palsy were evaluated with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Chinese version) and the Infants-Junior Middle School Students' Social-Life Abilities Scale for the intelligence and the adaptive behavior.ResultsThe average scores of verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ), performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) and full intelligence quotient(FIQ) of the patients were lower than the normal children and the average scores of PIQ and FIQ were less than 70; the PIQ deficiency was significant more than the VIQ deficiency(P<0.001). 93 cases had mental deficiency, including 43(46.23%) for mild, 36(38.71%) for moderate, 13(13.98%) for severe, 1(1.08%) for extreme severe. There were 113(66.86%) for the deficiency of full social-life abilities, 104(61.54%) for Self-Help, 147(86.98%) for Locomotion, 133 (78.70%) for Occupation, 73 (43.20%) for Communication, 115(68.05%) for Socialization, 90 (53.25%) Self-Direction. The damage of Locomotion was the most serious, while the damage of Communication was the least serious. The outcomes of Wechsler Intelligence Scale was significantly correlated with the Infants-Junior Middle School Students' Social-Life Abilities Scale(P<0.001).ConclusionThe cerebral palsy causes not only intelligent damage, but also intelligence deficiency in most patients and the major level of the intelligent deficiency is mild to moderate. The damage of the performance intelligence has more influence on the full scale intelligence in the children with cerebral palsy. Most of the children with cerebral palsy have inconsistent deficiency of different aspects of the adaptive behavior.

Objective To understand the causes of injury and levels of disability of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury and explore the related factors with the levels of disability. Methods Literature review and experts panel advice were used to collect the related factors. The questionnaire "Survey on Related Factors of Disability Levels of Patients with Ttraumatic Spinal Cord Injury" was designed for the data collection, including the causes of injury, being conscious or not, protection of the injured areas, tools for transportation, the time getting first aid, levels of emergency hospitals and the time of first spinal surgery. From October 2010 to March 2011, 260 inpatients with traumatic spinal cord injury were surveyed by the well-trained researchers. Results 107 patients(41.2%) were caused by traffic accidents, 69 (26.5%) were caused by falls, 60 (23.1%) by crash, 6 (2.3%)by sports injury, and 18 (6.9%) by other reasons. The results of the extent and the levels were that complete paraplegia take up 41.15%, complete tetraplegia take up 25.38%, incomplete tetraplegia take up 18.08%, incomplete paraplegia take up 15.39%. There were significant differences in the causes of injury between the different extent and levels of injury (P<0.05). There were significant differences in levels of injury between the different extent of injury (P<0.05). Significant differences were existed in the levels of injury among being conscious or not, protection of injured areas during transportation and the secondary transportation (P<0.05). Whereas, no significant difference was observed among protection in the injury site, tools for transportation, the time getting first aid, the levels of emergency hospitals and the first time of spinal surgery between the different extent of injury(P>0.05). Conclusion Not only the causes of injury, but also the protection of injured areas, high frequency of secondary transportation are responsible for the extent of injury and levels of injury in individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury in China.
