Objective To explore the effect of Chinese traditional massage on the rehabilitation of dysphagia in cerebral palsy children in the early stage. Methods 90 cerebral children with dysphagia were divided into control group and experimental group with 45 cases in each group. The control group received conventional treatment and the experimental group received Chinese traditional massage in addition. The curative effects were evaluated according to the section two of deglutition disorders survey before and 2 months after treatment. Results There was no difference in the score of dysphagia between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). The scores decreased both in 2 groups (P<0.001) after treatment. The score was lower in the experiment group than in the control group (P<0.01) and the clinical efficiency was better in the experiment group than in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Chinese traditional massage combined with conventional treatment can facilitate the recovery of dysphagia in cerebral palsy children.

Background:Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy which can present with patchy mucosal lesions.Therefore,the diagnosis of the disease requires histological evaluation of multiple site biopsies.Aims:To analyze the pathological characteristics of multiple site small intestinal biopsies in adult patients with celiac disease and provide reference for early identification and diagnosis of celiac disease.Methods:The pathological data of 22 adult patients who were newly diagnosed as having celiac disease at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from August 2019 to April 2022 were collected retrospectively.All patients were positive for serum anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA,and biopsies of duodenal bulb,descending part of the duodenum and terminal ileum were obtained under endoscopy.Histological examination was performed by experienced pathologists according to the modified Marsh grading system.Results:The most common pathological grade of duodenal bulb(50.0%)and descending part of the duodenum(45.5%)was Marsh Ⅲc,while those of terminal ileum was Marsh Ⅲa(63.6%).All of the bulb biopsies,95.5%of the descending part and 72.7%of the terminal ileum biopsies showed characteristic histological changes of celiac disease.Mucosal pathology was patchy in 7 patients,of which one patient was duodenal bulb and terminal ileum involved,and 6 were duodenum involved only.Fifteen patients had diffuse small intestinal mucosal pathology involving duodenal bulb,descending part and terminal ileum,of which 4 patients showed concordant histology(the same Marsh grade in duodenal bulb,descending part and terminal ileum)and 11 patients showed discordant histology.In 18 patients(81.8%),duodenum was the only affected site or duodenum showed more serious mucosal lesions compared with terminal ileum.Conclusions:Adult celiac disease may affect the whole small intestine,and the mucosal involvement may be patchy,which highlights the importance of taking small intestinal biopsies from multiple sites repeatedly in the diagnostic work-up of celiac disease.

The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has attracted more and more attention so far, but there are different opinions on it. ERAS philosophy covers many fields, in which anesthesiology plays an irreplaceable role by virtue of its professional advantages. Based on ERAS philosophy, anesthesiologists will provide guidance on preoperative assessment, preoperative prehabilitation, intraoperative fluid management, analgesia, temperature management, and postoperative rehabilitation to improve patient comfort and satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impacts of andrographolide on sciatic nerve function injury in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rats by regulating high-mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) signal pathway. METHODS A total of 84 rats were randomly divided into the control group (normal saline), DPN group (normal saline), low-dose andrographolide group (0.833 mg/kg), high-dose andrographolide group (3.332 mg/kg), lipoic acid group (positive control, 0.1 g/kg), recombinant rat HMGB1 protein (rHMGB1) group (8 μg/kg), and high-dose andrographolide+ rHMGB1 group, with 12 rats in each group. All rats except those in the control group were fed with high glucose and high fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin to establish the DPN rat model. After 24 hours of successful modeling, medication was administered daily for 8 weeks. The changes in fasting blood glucose, mechanical pain threshold, heat pain threshold and sciatic nerve conduction velocity were detected. Pathological changes in the sciatic nerve of rats and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the sciatic nerve of rats were also detected. Besides, the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE proteins and phosphorylation level of nuclear factor κB p65(NF-κB p65) protein in rat sciatic nerves were found. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the pathological damage of the sciatic nerve of rats in the DPN group was strengthened, the fasting blood glucose, heat pain threshold, MDA content and the 诊治。E-mail:dqiaur@163.com expressions of HMGB1, RAGE proteins and phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65 protein were increased (P<0.05), while the mechanical pain threshold, sensory nerve conduction velocity, motor nerve conduction velocity, and SOD activity were decreased/slowed down (P<0.05). Compared with the DPN group, the above indexes were significantly potentiated in the andrographolide low- and high-dose groups and lipoic acid group (P<0.05), and the corresponding trends in the rHMGB1 group were opposite to those in the above three administration groups (P<0.05). Moreover, rHMGB1 attenuated the hypoglycemic effect of high-dose andrographolide on blood glucose and the improvement of oxidative stress injury in the sciatic nerve of DPN rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Andrographolide may reduce blood glucose by inhibiting the HMGB1/RAGE pathway and oxidative stress, thus ameliorating sciatic nerve injury in DPN rats.
