This research was to investigate the relationship between functional independence and adap-tive behavior in children with cerebral palsy using FunctionaI Independence Measure for Children(WeeFIM)and the Chinese version of Children’s Adaptive Behavior Scale(CABS).18 children with cere-bral palsy were measured.12 were males and 6 were females.Age ranged from 3 to 12,and average agewas 5.9444(SD= 1.9242).Results showed that the dimensions of the motor subscale of WeeFLM werepositively correlated to the independence of CAI3s(r=0.5725~0.7146);the dimensions of cognitive sub-scale of WeeFIM were also positively correlated to three elements of CABS(r=0.531 0~0.7873).WeeFIM total scores were positively correlated to the developmental quotierit of CABS(r=0.7053).Thisresearch showed that functional independence and adaptive behavior in cerebral palsy children were related,because the ditnensions of WeeFIM were correlated to the elements of CABS.WeeFIM can,therefore,re-flect the functions of cerebral palsy children in quantitative scales.This research can provide a new measure-ment which can be applied to the functional evaluation in medical rehabilitation of cerebral palsy.

Objective To investigate the role of opioid receptors and vagus and sympathetic nerves in the remifentanil-induced cardiovascular depression in rabbits. Methods Forty 2-6 months old New Zealand white rebbits of both sexes weighing 1.5-2.5 kg were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8 each): group Ⅰ remifentanil (group R); group Ⅱ naloxone + remifentanil (group N+ R); group Ⅲ vagus nerve cut-off +remifentanil (group V+ R); group Ⅳ epidural block + remifentanil (group S+ R) and group V vagus nerve cutoff + epidural block + remifentanil (group V + S + R). The animals were anesthetized, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated. PaCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Vecuronium 0.3 mg/kg was given iv every 40 min to keep muscle relaxed. Right carotid artery was cannulated for continuous MAP monitoring. ECG was continuously monitored. A bolus of remifentanil 5.0 μg/kg was administered iv in all 5 groups. In group N + R naloxone 40μg was given iv about 2 min before remifentanil. In group V + R bilateral vagus nerves were cut off through neck incision. After HR and MAP had stabilized for 30 min, remifentanil was given iv. In group S + R epidural block was performed at L6.7 interspace with 2% lidocaine to block cardiac sympathetic nerves. When HR and MAP decreased by 20% of the baseline values and stabilized for 30 min remifentanil was given iv. In group V + S + R bilateral vagus nerves were cut off first. Then epidural block was performed before remifentanil administration. MAP and HR were recorded at 1 min before iv remifentanil administration (T0 ), at 30 s (T1), 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 and 20 min (T2-9 ) after remifentanil administration. Results Intravenous remifentanil 5.0 μg/kg significantly decreased HR at T1 and MAP at T1-7 as compared with those at T0 in group R. Pretreatmentwith naloxone 40 μg prevented remifentanil-induced decrease in MAP but did not affect remifentanil-induced decrease in HR in group N + R. Vagus nerve cut-off and sympathetic block induced by epidural anesthesia performed before iv remifentanil did not affect remifentanil-induced cardiac depression in group V + R, S + R and V + S + R. Conclusion Opioid receptors and vagus and sympathetic nerves are not related to remifentanil-induced decrease in HR. Remifentanil induces decrease in MAP by activating opioid receptors.

Objective To investigate the refraction status of low vision children aged 4~14 years old. Methods 228 children (376 eyes) with low vision aged 4~14 years old were recruited with retinoscopy optometry under ciliary muscles paralysis. Results 53% (72 eyes) of the preschool group had hyperopia, 41.2% (56 eyes) had myopia, and 6.0% (8 eyes) had mix astigmia. 40.0% (96 eyes) of the school-age group had hyperopia, 55.0% (132 eyes) had myopia, and 5.0% (12 eyes) had mix astigmia. The incidence of hyperopia was higher in the preschool group than in the school-age group (P<0.05). The majority of the refraction status in both groups were ranged in high level. After refraction correction and using visual aid device, 27.4% of the low vision children improved, and the number was higher in children who had better naked vision (P<0.01). Conclusion The refraction status of pre-school children with low vision is mainly hyperopia. For school-aged children, the refraction status shows a majority of myopia. The refraction errors of low vision children are mainly ranged in high level and partial low vision children improved after refraction correction

Objective:To investigate the current status of primiparas′ postpartum fatigue and paternal involvement, and to explore the relationship between primiparas′ postpartum fatigue and paternal involvement, and to provide reference basis for developing targeted intervention measures to alleviate postpartum fatigue of primiparas.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 347 primiparas from Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University, Yangzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from September to December 2020 by convenience sampling. The survey instruments included the general information questionnaire, the Parenting Alliance Inventory (PAI), and the Postpartum Fatigue Scale (PFS).Results:The total score of PAI was (86.51 ± 12.07) points, and the level of paternal involvement was high. The total score of PFS was (16.68 ± 4.12) points. 95.97% (333/347) of primiparas had varying degrees of postpartum fatigue. There was a significant negative correlation between paternal involvement and primiparas′ postpartum fatigue ( r=-0.327, P<0.01). The results of multiple stratified regression analysis showed that paternal involvement was included in the influencing factor model of primiparas′ postpartum fatigue, which could independently explain 9.7% variation of primiparas′ postpartum fatigue. Conclusions:The higher level of paternal involvement could predict the lower level of primiparas′ postpartum fatigue. Medical staff should pay attention to the participation level of the spouses of primiparas in childcare, and improve the participation level of the spouses of primiparas in scientific ways to alleviate the postpartum fatigue of primiparas.

[Objective]This study was designed to investigate the genetic evolution of the neuraminidase(NA)gene of seasonal A/H1N1 and 2009 novel A/H1N1 inflilenza virus,and discuss the genetic variation of influenza A virus.[Methods]The virus strains were separately isolated from the clinical samples collected in 2006 and 2009,and then identified as seasonal A/H1N1 and novel A/H1N1.The full length of the NA gene of these strains was amplified by RT-PCR.Then the genetic evolution and mutations of important functional sites were analyzed.[Results]The homology of NA gene between the 2009 novel A/H1N1 isolates and 2006 seasonal A/H1N1 isolates was low(77.9%~78.8%),so was the homology of NA gene between the 2009 novel A/H1N1 isolates and representative strains of different periods and 1979-2001 WHO recommended vaccine strains(78.1%~79.3%).But compared with the WHO recommended vaccine strains of 2009 novel A/H1N1,the homology reached more than 99%.The genetic evolution analysis revealed that NA gene of 2009 novel A/H1N1 had the closest genetic relationship with the swine influenza A virus(A/swine/Belgium/1/1983)from Eurasian Iineage,and some of the antigenic sites and neuraminidase active sites of NA gene of seasonal A/H1N1 were mutated after 2005.[Conclusion]The NA gene of 2009 novel A/H1N1 may originate from Eurasian Iineage of swine influenza virus.The variation of NA gene of seasonal A/H1N1 has occurred in a certain degree.Hence,it is very necessary to continuously monitor the variant of influenza A virus.
