ObjectiveTo systematically analyze the typical mental health conditions and psychological disorders of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), to construct a mental health service system and psychological interventions to these mental health conditions of children with IDD . MethodsBased on the framework of the World Health Organization Family International Classifications (WHO-FICs), the mental health conditions and related functioning were analyzed, and the mental health service framework and proposed mental health interventions were constructed.There were six main categories of mental health conditions for children with IDDConclusionThis study systematically analyzed the typical mental health status and related psychological functional impairments of children with IDD. Based on the World Health Organization health service system, a mental health service framework for children with IDD was constructed. Referring to the WHO's continuum of health services, a system of psychological intervention methods for children with IDD was established. Furthermore, the WHO-FICs were used to describe and code the functions of children with IDD, and the ICHI-β3 was applied to code and analyze the related psychological interventions. Resultsmood disorders (anxiety and depression), behavioral disorders (disruptive disorders and challenging behaviors, aggressive behaviors), traumatic disorders (post-traumatic stress disorder), mental disorders (schizophrenia), suicide and self-harm, and learning disabilities (developmental learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Mental health services for children with IDD involved in six dimensions: leadership and governance, fundraising, human resources, service delivery, mental health technologies, and information and research. Mental health services went through the continuum of health services from prevention, treatment, rehabilitation to health promotion. We delivered mental health services for children with IDD in three aspects: identifying and diagnosing mental health problems or conditions, analyzing the main factors caused mental health problems, and analyzing the environmental factors. Mental health service interventions mainly covered five categories: antidepressants, psychotherapy, stress management training, physical exercise training, healthy lifestyle education, consultation and support. Children with IDD may obtain the mental health services in hospitals, rehabilitation institutions, community and school settings.

Objective:To observe any effect of combining repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) under the guidance of event related potentials (ERPs) with action observation therapy (AOT) on the cognitive and motor functioning of stroke survivors in the recovery period.Methods:Ninety stroke survivors were randomly divided into a control group, an rTMS group and an rTMS+ AOT group, each of 30. All three groups were given conventional rehabilitation treatment (including the training of waist, upper and lower limb function, balance, walking, memory, attention, orientation, spatial perception and executive ability). The rTMS group also received one session of ERP-based rTMS daily five times a week. The rTMS+ AOT group was given the same rTMS combined with AOT twice a day, five times a week. Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA), the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate each subject′s cognitive and motor ability and their skill in the activities of daily living.Results:After the treatment, the average MMSE, MOCA, FMA, BBS and MBI scores of all groups had improved significantly, but the average MMSE, MOCA, upper limb FMA and MBI scores of the rTMS group were then significantly higher than the control group′s averages. And the average scores of the rTMS+ AOT group were significantly better than those of the other two groups.Conclusion:Combining rTMS guided by ERPs with AOT can effectively improve the cognitive functioning, motor control and balance of stroke survivors, and improve their ability in the activities of daily living.

Objcetive:
To explore the treatment of long segment defect of tibia by using tensor fascia lata combined with iliac flap or deep circumflex iliac pedicle iliac flap.
Methods:
From February 2012 to August 2017, The People′s Hospital of Zun Yi City Bo Zhou District treated 16 patients who had long segment defect of tibia.There were 11 males and 5 females, age from 22 to 58 years old, the average age was 42 years old. Iliac flap grafting with tensor fascia lata combined with iliac flap or deep circumflex iliac pedicle was used to treat the defect of long segment of tibia. There were 4 cases with simple tibial defect and 12 cases with skin defect. The longest tibial defect was 5-8 cm.
Results:
In this study, four patients used iliac flaps with deep circumflex iliac pedicle, the area of flaps ranged from 2.5 cm×5.0 cm to 5.0 cm×10.0 cm, while the area of iliac flaps ranged from 5.0 cm×2.5 cm to 8.0 cm×4.0 cm. Twelve patients used grafting with tensor fascia lata combined with iliac flap, the area of flaps ranged from 5.0 cm×12.0 cm to 12.0 cm×23.0 cm, while the area of iliac flaps ranged from 7.0 cm×2.0 cm to 8.0 cm×4.0 cm. All 16 cases of bone flap were survived, fracture healing, without surgical complications. The average follow-up period was 1.5 years, the flaps had good appearance in 10 cases and was slightly bloated in 6 cases; the ankle had normal motion in 14 cases and had poor dorsal extension in 2 cases. X-ray films showed that the bone flap repaired the bone defects and reached bone healing.
Conclusions
Vascularized tensor fascia lata combined with iliac flap or deep circumflex iliac pedicle iliac flap grafts increase local blood supply and accelerate the process of fracture healing.

Objective To explore the effect of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation ( rTMS) com-bined with rehabilitation training on the motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Methods A total of 150 persons with Parkinson's disease were randomly divided into an rTMS group, a rehabilitation training group and an observation group, each of 50. The rTMS group received only repeated magnetic stimulation. The rehabilita-tion training group received only standard rehabilitation training. The observation group was given both for 4 weeks. The overall efficacy of each treatment was evaluated using the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale ( UPDRS) , while the motor symptoms were assessed using the 10 m back-and-forth run test, a simple test for evaluating hand function ( STEF) and Berg's balance scale. Non-motor symptoms were evaluated using a questionnaire ( NMSQ) , the mini-mental state examination ( MMSE) , the Hamilton depression scale ( HAMD) , the Hamilton anxiety scale ( HAMA) and the Parkinson's disease sleep scale ( PDSS) . Moreover, a comprehensive quality of life assessment questionnaire ( SF-36) was used to evaluate the life quality of patients before and after the treatment. Results Compared with before the treatment, the average UPDRS scores of all three groups were lower after the treatment. Moreover, the average UPDRS score of the observation group was significantly lower than those of the other two groups. Significant improvement was observed in the mean 10 m run time and in the average STEF and Berg scores of the rehabilitation training and observation groups, but not in the rTMS group's averages. After the treatment, the mean NMSQ, MMSE, HAMD, HAMA and PDSS results of the rTMS and observation groups were significantly bet-ter than those before treatment, with the observation group's averages significantly better than those of the rehabili-tation training group. The average PDSS and SF-36 scores of the observation group were also significantly better than those of the other groups. Conclusion rTMS combined with rehabilitation training can significantly improve the motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients, and its efficacy is superior to that of rTMS or reha-bilitation training alone.
