Occupational therapy is an important part of rehabilitation medicine. There is movement, feel, swallowing, speech, vision,cognitive, psychological and social relations dysfunction in stroke patients. Occupational therapy play an important part in the whole processof intervention for stroke patients, and help them improve their quality of life.

Objective To observe the effect of psychological support therapy on anxiety resulted from pain after stroke. Methods 40 patients with anxiety after stroke were divided equally into psychological support treatment group and control group. They were assessed with Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain before and after treatment. Results The scores of HAMA and VAS improved more in treatment group than in control group (P<.01). Conclusion The psychological support therapy can reduce the anxiety and pain after stroke.

ObjectiveTo assess the effects of constraint-induced movement therapy(CIMT) on sub-acute stroke patients with upper extremity motor dysfunction.Methods63 patients with hemiplegia after stroke were divided into two groups: control group(31 cases) and CIMT group(32 casese). The two groups received the regular rehabilitation training for 14 d. Then the control group went on the the regular rehabilitation training, while the CIMT group received CIMT for 14 d. All patients were assessed by the Action Research Arm Test(ARAT) and Fugl-Meyer(FMA) on the first day, the 15th day and the 30th day after the treatment.ResultsARAT score and FMA scores were higher in CIMT group than in the control group 30 d after the treatment and in CIMT group 15 days after the treatment(P<0.001).ConclusionCIMT is more effective to improve the upper limb motor function of the sub-acute stroke patients than the regular rehabilitation training.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of selenium (Se) and iodine (I) and the compound of both on the proto-oncogenes c-fos and c-jun mRNA and their protein expression in the cultured rat hippocampus neurons.

METHODSUsing the technique of serum free hippocampus neuron culture, different doses of Se and I and Se + I compound were added into the medium. The expression of the mRNA of c-fos, c-jun in hippocampus neurons cultured for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 d were studied using both in situ hybridization and SABC immunohistochemical technique.

RESULTSBoth Se and I could enhance the expression of c-fos, c-jun mRNA and their proteins, especially the combination of I and Se able to give a remarkable effect on c-jun mRNA expression.

CONCLUSIONSSe and I may effect the expression of both c-fos and c-jun mRNA, especially the c-jun mRNA and its protein of hippocampus neurons, and thus may effect the differentiation and development of neurons.

Objective:To summarize the effect of Chinese Children′s Cancer Group (CCCG) Wilms tumor (WT)-2015 protocol.Methods:This was a prospective study. CCCG-WT-2015 protocol was revised on the basis of the CCCG-WT-2009 protocol. Clinical data of 288 children diagnosed with newly diagnosed kidney neoplasms in fourteen pediatric centers between September 2015 to December 2018 were summarized. The age of onset, distribution of pathological subtypes, staging, curative effect and prognostic factors of these children were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival curve and Log-Rank method was used for univariate analysis.Results:Among 288 cases with kidney neoplasms, there were 261 cases of WT, including 254 cases (97.3%) with favorable histology (FH) WT and 7 cases (2.7%) with unfavorable histology WT (UFHWT). The 3 year events free survival (EFS) rate for FHWT and UFHWT were (88.9±2.1)% and (80.0±17.9)%, which were better than that in WT-2009 (81.2% and 71.7%). In the 96 cases of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ FHWT with indications for radiotherapy, 76 cases received radiation, another 20 cases received M protocol chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, etoposide, gentamycin, vincristine and adriamycin) instead of radiation. The 3 year EFS rate for these two groups were (84.7±4.3)% and (84.7±8.1)%(χ 2=0.015, P=0.902). There were 22 renal clear cell sarcoma and 5 malignant rhabdoid tumor, 3 year EFS rate of them was (94.4±5.4)% and (20.0±17.9)%. Univariate analysis was performed for age, gender, pathological type, stage, whether rupture occurred during operation, whether complete remission (CR) occurred at the end of treatment and radiotherapy. Pathological types (χ 2=44.329, P<0.01) and failure to achieve CR at the end of the treatment (χ 2=49.459, P<0.01) were independent factor for predicting survival. Conclusion:Compared with CCCG-WT-2009, treatment of renal tumors in CCCG-WT-2015 study yielded good survival outcome, which can be further applied.

OBJECTIVES: The prevalence rate of sleep problems in children in China is increasing in recent years. There are inconsistencies in the relationship between physical activity and sleep, and the impact of screen time on young children seems more obvious.This study aims to understand the current situation of outdoor activity time, screen time and sleep (total sleep duration, bedtime, and wake-up time) and the associations between outdoor activity time and screen time with sleep for children aged 36-54 months in Kaifu District of Changsha. METHODS: Using the cluster sampling method, 1 286 newborns delivered in 3 community health service centers in Kaifu District, Changsha from January to December 2015 were selected as the research subjects to establish a prospective birth cohort. According self-designed questionnaire and household follow-up to select 36, 42, 48, 54 months Children's data. The mixed linear model was used to explore the associations of outdoor activity time and screen time with sleep. RESULTS: The 36-54 months children's total sleep duration was decreased from 11.60 h/d to 10.92 h/d (P<0.001); bedtime time delayed from 21:58 to 22:00 (P=0.124); wake-up time advanced from 7:52 to 7:37 (P<0.001); outdoor activity time was decreased from 2.58 h/d to 1.94 h/d (P<0.001), and screen time was decreased from 1.28 h/d to 1.09 h/d (P<0.001). With aging, the prevalence of sleep <10 h/d and outdoor activity time <2 h/d was increased significantly, and the prevalence of screen time ≥1 h/d was decreased (P<0.05). Mixed linear models showed that longer outdoor activity time was related to increased total sleep duration (β=0.22, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.44) and delayed wake-up time (β=0.16, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.32), and longer screen time was related to delayed bedtime (β=0.22, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.39) and wake-up time (β=0.24, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.41). These associations were different in gender. Longer outdoor activity time was related to delayed wake-up time (β=0.37, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.59) in boys, but not in girls (β=-0.16, 95% CI -0.33 to 0.01). Longer screen time was associated with delayed bedtime (β=0.40, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.63) and wake-up time (β=0.33, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.51) in girls, but only related to delayed wake-up time (β=0.29, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.52) in boys, and the degree of association was lower than that of girls. CONCLUSIONS Among children aged 36-54 months in Kaifu District, Changsha, there are problems including going to bed late and getting up late, insufficient physical activity, and long screen time. Outdoor activity time and screen time are related to sleep. Increasing outdoor activity time and reducing screen time can help to improve children's sleep.
