1.An Evaluation about Effect of Stroke on the Sensorimotor Performance of the Unaffected Upper Extremity
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 1997;3(4):164-167
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.
2.Application of Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Neuroplastia Responsible for Recovery of Language Function in Aphasia (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2012;18(8):713-716
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.

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.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of contrasted X-ray in diagnosis of breast lesions.Methods29 patients who were confirmed as breast lesions verified by surgery and histopathology were enrolled in this study.All the lesions were evaluated by plain and contrasted X-ray.The lesion detectability of X-ray,and contrasted series.Results29 patients had 26 malignant and 5 benign lesions.There were significant differences between benign and malignant tumors on enhancement homogenity,morphology and margin characteristics.According to the morphology character and enhancement pattem.The distribution proved significantly different ( x2 =26.43,P < 0.05 ).The diagnostic indices for the lesions morphology had the sensitivity of 83.8% (26/31) and specificity of 76.9% (20/26).ConclusionEnhanced X-ray was better than plain exam on lesion detection.Benign and malignant breast tumors could be differentiated according to the morphology characteristic and enhancement pattern.

Objective To explore the effect of ankle strategy stability limit training on balance and gait in recovering stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods Forty recovering stroke patients were randomized into an intervention group and a control group.The patients in the intervention group were given ankle strategy stability limit training using visual feedback on the static long sets of a Smart Equitest Balance Master (SEBM) machine.Those in the control group practiced routine postural balance training using mirror visual feedback in parallel bars.Both groups of patients practiced balance and posture control for 30 minutes,once daily,6 days a week for two weeks. Both groups were also given routine therapy and other rehabilitation.The patients' balance function was evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS),and their gait was assessed using the walk across technique (WA). Results There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to general information,BBS scores or WA results before treatment.After 2 weeks of treatment,BBS scores as well as the step length and pace in the WA improved significantly in both groups,but all improved significantly more in the intervention group.There was no significant difference in width of gait. Conclusion Ankle strategy stability limit training can enhance weight-bearing on stroke patients' affected foot as well as their balance and the symmetry of their steps.

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.
