The main objectives of this study was to compare the sensorimdt afar Performance of the unaffected upper extremity of elderly stroke patients with that of healthy elderly people. Methods: The groupof stroke patients was of 30 hemiplegic subjects who had had a cerebrovasculai accident at least 6 monthsearlier. A group of 30 healthy subjects matched for age and sex was used for comparison. The main parameters of the performance of the unaffected upper extremity of the stroke subjects and of the same side of the healthy subjects were measured with valid,reliable instruments. Some variables potentially related to theunaffected upper extremity were also measured:length of time since the stroke,activity level,etc.Results;Statistical analyses showed significant deficits in the unaffected upper extremity of hemiplegic subjecs compared with normal subjects with regard to the following parameters: gross manual dexterity, fine manualdexterity, motor coordination,global performance (P<0. 05 to P<0. 0001 ). No significant clinical or statistical difference was found for grip strength,two-- point discrimination and kindethesia.-- Conclusions: Manyfactors (frequency of use of the unaffected hand sensorimotor interaction task,sevrity of the the deficits in corticifugal projection and deficits in postural stabilization)could interact to provide the clinical picture obtainedin the present study.

Aphasia, as one of the common complications of cerebrovascular diseases, showed the rising trend year by year with the increasing of cerebrovascular diseases incidence, and communication difficulties and psychological barriers caused by aphasia had seriously affected the patients' quality of life. Blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) made the brain morphology and function combined perfectly, had became the most widely available functional neuroimaging modality to explore the neuroplastic mechanisms responsible for recovery of language. This review made a summary about the neuroplastic mechanisms responsible for recovery of language

Objective To explore the effect of early melodic intonation speech training on Broca aphasia. Methods 22 patients with Broca aphasia were trained with the early melodic intonation training program. They were evaluated with China Rehabilitation Research Center aphasia examination before and after the treatment. Results There were significant differences in auditory comprehension, repetition, oral reading, speaking, reading and calculation (P<0.05), but no significant difference in description, copying, and dictation (P>0.05). Conclusion Early melodic intonation speech training can improve the speech and reading in patients with Broca aphasia.

Objective To know the etiology distribution and drug resistance in neonate, hope to provide the reference for clinic.Methods The identification and susceptibility of bacteria were detected by culture.Results 583 bacterial strains were identified from total 560 positive samples from 2127 neonate (25.8%).The infection neonates of single bacterial and complex bacterial were 537 and 23 respectively of all 560 patients.The ratio of staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella pneumoniae and E.coli were 29.5%,22.0% and 17.0% respectively in total 560 patients.Staphylococcus Aureus of Resistance to Vancomycin(VRSA) wasn't be found.Conclusion Respiratory tract infection is the major cause of infection in newborn, including staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella pneumoniae and E.coli.

There are objective causes in the close management of regular ward of psychiatric department,which are related to several ethical problems that will hamper the relationship between doctors and patients of psychiatric depart?ment.We should perfect the mode of management constantly to promote the development of psychiatry.

We report a case of a 35-year-old right-handed male patient with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy who developed ipsilateral occipital hematoma after right temporal anterior lobectomy and amygdalohippocampectomy. Patient did not report taking any drugs with anticoagulant effect, such as aspirin or valproate. There was no past history of hypertension and the pre-operation tests were normal. Pre-operative brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed no abnormality in the right occipital lobe. Overdraining of cerebrospinal fluid may have triggered this remote cerebellar hemorrhage.

AIM To determine whether botulinum toxin A (BTXa) is an effective and safe treatment for lower limb spasticity and improve walking ability after stroke or traumatic brain injury. METHODS 27 cases with stroke or traumatic brain injury affecting the muscles of lower extremity were selected to receive local intramuscular injection. The injected dose is between 50～100 U?(muscle) -1. All patients received rehabilitation therapy that focused on walking training. Patients were assessed at entry, and 2, 4 weeks post-treatment. The muscle tone was assessed by the modified Ashworth Scale, the changes of time-distance parameters was measured by footprint gait analysis. The correlation relationship between muscles tone and gait parameters was analysed. RESULTS Compared to pretreatment values, the total muscles spasticity, walking distance, and speed were significantly improved in all groups respectively, decrease in the modified Ashworth Score (P

Objective To develop a quality of life scale suitable for aphasic Chinese stroke patients by translating and evaluating the psychometric properties of the original 39-generic version of the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life scale (SAQOL-39g).Methods The SAQOL-39g was translated into Chinese and edited.The well edited and translated self-rated and non-self-rated scales were used to test 86 aphasia patients and their caretakers to evaluate the feasibility,internal consistency,test-retest reliability,content validity,and construct validity of the scale.Results The feasibility of the Chinese version of the SAQOL-39g scale was sufficient,with 97％ of the ques tionnaires completed.The average time taken to complete the self-report version was (21.4±4.37) minutes,with (13.25±5.61) minutes needed for the proxy version.The Cronbach's alpha values for the overall survey ranged from 0.879 to 0.950 and for the subdomains from 0.863 to 0943 for both forms,suggesting satisfactory internal reliability.The test-retest coefficients for the two forms ranged from 0.804 to 0.974 and from 0.861 to 0.987.A total of 3 common factors were extracted using factor analysis,and the cumulative contribution rate was 59.7％.The consistency between the self-reports and the proxy-reports was good.Conclusion The Chinese version of the SAQOL-39g scale demonstrates good feasibility,reliability and validity,and good consistency between the self-reported and proxy-reported versions.It seems suitable for assessing the quality of life of Chinese stroke patients with aphasia.

Objective To develop the quality of life questionnaire applicable to the Chinese patients with dysphagia by the translation and modification,as well as psychometric evaluation of the original swallowing quality of life questionnaire (SWAL-QOL).Methods The English version of the SWAL-QOL was translated into Chinese according to the well-accepted scale translation procedure.Then 103 patients with dysphagia were tested using the translated Chinese SWAL-QOL.The inter-rater reliability,test-retest reliability,internal consistency reliability,the content validity and construct validity were tested.Results The inter-rater reliability correlation coefficient of the SWAL-QOL was between 0.945-0.990 (P＜0.01).Its test-retest coefficients ranged from 0.965 to 0.992 (P＜0.01).The Cronbach coefficients ranged from 0.708 to 0.933 (P＜0.01).There revealed significant correlation between each item of SWAL-QOL and its domain,with correlation coefficients between 0.723 and 0.982 (P＜0.01).Factor analysis of each item of the 10 domains of SWAL-QOL extracted 10 common factors,which were with a cumulative contribution of 79.029％.Factor analysis of the total score of the 10 dimensions extracted 2 common factors including dysphagia-related quality of life and general quality of life,with a cumulative contribution of 54.718％.Conclusions The Chinese version of SWAL-QOL is reliable and valid.It can be used as an effective measuring tool to evaluate the quality of life of dysphagia patients.

Objective:To examine factors that may have impact on the Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) screening validity, which could lead to further establishing the general model of the MMSE score in Chinese health elderly and to improve the screening accuracy of the existing MMSE reference. Methods:Based on the data of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey ( CLHLS ) , the MMSE scores of 19 117 normal elderly and 137 dementia patients who met the inclusion criteria were used for the analysis. The area under the curve ( AUC) and validity indexes were used to compare the screening accuracy of various criteria. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors that had impact on the MMSE score for both the normal and dementia elderly. Descriptive analysis was performed for differences in the MMSE scores by age trends and gender between the normal and dementia elderly. Results:The AUC of MMSE was≥0 . 75 ( P<0 . 05 ) . The MMSE score of the normal elderly declined nonlinearly as the age grew older(male:R2 =0. 924, P<0. 05; female: R2 =0. 951, P<0. 05), and increased nonlinearly as the education level rose(male: R2 =0. 948, P <0. 05; female: R2 =0. 859, P<0. 05). The females had significantly lower MMSE scores than the males, with a faster decline trend with age than the males (95%CI of female partial regression coefficient was not overlapped with 95%CI of male partial regression coefficient) . The dementia elderly showed a much lower MMSE score ( male:difference of Z score:-1 . 573 , P<0 . 05;female:difference of Z score:-1 . 222 , P<0 . 05 ) and ten-ded to with a faster decline speed than that of the normal elderly (95%CI of dementia partial regression coefficient included 95%CI of normal partial regression coefficient) . Conclusion:The screening validity of MMSE in CLHLS is not affected by educational level. The analysis of factors that may impact on the MMSE screening validity are gender, age, vision and residence which with validity identification. These four fac-tors can be used as assist tool of MMSE in the screening of dementia to improve the screening accuracy.
