Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of auditory perception skills after cochlear implantation in children with malformed inner ear and compare them with a group of congenitally deaf chil ‐dren implantees with a normal inner ear .Methods 21 children with inner ear malformation were retrospective stud‐ied .There were 9 cases with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) ,7 with Mondini abnormality ,5 with com‐mon cavity .The postoperative outcomes of these 21 cases were compared with 21 cases with normal inner ear struc‐ture .The outcomes of all the children after the surgery in 1 year were studied using the soundfield test in frequency ranging 0 .5 to 4 kHz and the auditory perception skills ,and the auditory perception skills consisted of natural envi‐ronmental sound recognition ,consonants recognition ,vowels recognition ,numeral recognition ,tone recognition , monosyllabe recognition ,disyllabe recognition ,trisyllabe recognition ,short sentences recognition ,selective hearing recognition .Results The results of soundfield test and auditory perception skills after cochlear implantation in 9 children with LVAS and 6 with Mondini abnormality had no significant difference (P > 0 .05) comparing with the control cases .Postoperative thresholds in soundfield test were 50 ~ 75 dB HL for 1 case with severe Mondini abnor‐mality ,the mean value of hearing ability score was 70 .5% ,and less than the results of control cases .Postoperative mean thresholds in soundfield test were 65 .26 ± 5 .13 dB HL for 5 cases with common cavity ,the hearing ability score was less than the results of control cases (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion The effect of rehabilitation had no difference between the children with LVAS and the cases with normal inner structure after cochlear implantation ,but was poo‐rer in children with severe Mondini abnormality and common cavity .It was necessary to evaluate the degree of mal‐formation of inner ear structure before cochlear implantation .

Objective To observe the effect of acupoint-injection on vascular dementia. Methods 1 ml of cytidine diphosphocholine was injected into Baihui ( GV 20) and Fengchi (GB 20, bilateral) respectively. 234 patients were treated. Results and conclusion: 49 cases were cured, 150 cases got improve, 35 cases had ineffectiveness, the total utility rate was 85.0%, so acupoint-injecting cytidine diphosphocholine is a utility method healing vascular dementia.

Objective To study the effect of acupoint sticking combined with acupuncture after thoracoscopic surgery on the improvement of pain.Methods A total of 160 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery in our hospital were divided into observation group and control group,with 80 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were only used PCA self controlled analgesia to relieve pain.The patients in the observation group were used acupoint sticking at 4 h after surgery,and the acupuncture treatment was implemented at 4,8,24 and 48 h after operation on the basis of control group.The patient's visual analog scale (VAS) score and the pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ)score were compared,and the treatment efficiency after 48 h was statistically analyzed.Catecholamine (DA),thyroid hormone (NA),and adrenaline (Ad) in peripheral blood at 4,48 h of two groups were compared.Results The VAS scores and SF-MPQ scores of the two groups were all decreased,and the observation group decreased more significantly than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05),and the observation group had better treatment efficacy than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in DA,NA and Ad between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Acupoint sticking combined with acupuncture has significant effect on relieving pain of patients after thoracoscopy.
