Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(2):164-166
Objective To comprehend the characters of sensory integration of children with brain injury and identify the effect of sensory integration training.Methods 127 children with brain injury were determined by the check form of sensory integration, Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-China Recension (WISC-CR) and comprehensive function assessment for disabled children. These children were divided into the trial group (n=92) and control group (n=35). All children of two groups received rehabilitation training, but children of the trial group also received sensory integration training. The Results of them were compared before and after rehabilitation.Results The scores of the check form of sensory integration of the children with cerebral palsy were significantly higher than that of children with mental retardation (P<0.01). After rehabilitation training, the raising scores of comprehensive function assessment for disabled children of the trial group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion The ability of sensory integration are abnormal in children with brain injury. The sensory integration training can accelerate the comprehensive function of children with brain injury effectively.

Objective To analyse our clinical experience with CT guided percutaneous renal cysts puncture and ethanol therapy.Methods Five hundred and ten renal cysts in 445 patients were undergone CT guided percutaneous renal cysts puncture and ethanol therapy. Among the 445 cases, 385 cases had solitary renal cyst, 53 multiple renal cysts, and 7 polycystic kidneys. The renal cysts varied in size from 1.9 to 13.5cm in diameter. The amount of aspirated fluid varied from 3 to 780ml. A 18-21 gauge aspiration needles were used for all patients. A 25.0% cyst volume replacement with 99.7% ethanol was approved to be appropriate. Results 427 renal cysts in 396 patients were followed up by computed tomographic (CT) or ultrasound for less than 3 months to more than one year duration. The curative effective rate and disappearance rate of the renal cystic cavity in solitary renal cysts were 97% and 82%, respectively. In multiple renal cysts, the corresponding values were 95% and 79%. In polycystic kidneys, the curative rate was 67%. The complications such as local abdominal pain (28 cases) and hematuria (four cases) were observed in this series. There were no fatal complications. Conclusions CT guided percutaneous renal cyst puncture and ethanol therapy is an useful procedure for the treatment of solitary renal cysts and multiple renal cysts.
