Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of the "Tongluo" technique on gastrocnemius muscle hardness and muscle tone in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) using shear wave elastography (SWE).Methods:Forty children with SCP who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the observation group and received the "Tongluo" technique intervention. At the same time, 20 normal children were selected as the control group, without any intervention. Compare the various indicators of the two groups at baseline and after 1.5 and 3 months of treatment, including Young’s modulus value of the medial gastrocnemius muscle at rest, the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) score, and the clinical spasm index (CSI) score. The changes in muscle tone and spasticity of SCP children before and after treatment were compared, and the differences in the Young’s modulus between MAS and CSI levels in SCP children as well as the correlation between MAS, CSI, and Young’s modulus were analyzed.Results:The difference in Young’s modulus values of the control group at baseline, after 1.5 and 3 months of treatment was not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). At baseline, after 1.5 and 3 months of treatment, Young’s modulus value, MAS score, and total CSI score gradually decreased in the observation group, and the differences obtained from pairwise comparisons were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). At the same intervention stage, Young’s modulus value of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P < 0.01). The MAS score results showed that Young’s modulus of the observation group increased with the increase in muscle tone, and there was a positive correlation between Young’s modulus and muscle tone ( P < 0.01), and the difference in Young’s modulus corresponding to different muscle tones was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The CSI score results showed that the Young’s modulus of the observation group increased with the increase in spasticity degree, and there was a positive correlation between the Young’s modulus and muscle tone ( P < 0.01), and the difference in Young’s modulus corresponding to different spasticity degrees was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The muscle hardness of children with SCP is higher than that of normal children. The "Tongluo" technique can effectively improve muscle hardness, reduce muscle tone, and effectively improve muscle spasticity in children with SCP. The principle may be related to adjusting the internal structure of muscles to reduce muscle hardness. The results of this study can guide clinical rehabilitation and evaluation.

Abstract
Plant exocrine-like nanovesicles(PELNs) is a new nano-therapeutic agent and delivery platform, which not only has the potential for disease treatment, but also can be used as a drug carrier to target disease sites and play a dual role in treatment and delivery. More importantly, PELNs has the characteristics of green nature and low immunogenicity. This review systematically introduced several secretory mechanisms of PELNs:Outer capsule positive organelle, polyvesicular body, vacuole and autophagosome; three components such as lipid, protein and nucleic acid; centrifugation, ultrafiltration, size exclusion chromatography, flow field-flow fractionation, immunomagnetic beads, polymer precipitation and other separation methods and their biological functions such as anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, protection of regeneration, antivirus, liver protection, etc.; sorted out the potential mechanism of PELNs as a therapeutic agent and molecular delivery platform, and put forward the problems existing in the research process of PELNs, such as quantification, mechanism research and few clinical trials. And its development potential in the future is discussed.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of the rehabilitation technique of "regulating abdomen and dredging collaterals" in the treatment of children with global developmental delay (GDD), and to provide clinical experience and basis for promoting the rehabilitation treatment of GDD.Methods:Eighty-two children with GDD were selected and divided equally into the control and the treatment group according to the random number table method. The control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment, and the treatment group received "regulating abdomen and dredging collaterals" rehabilitation treatment on the basis of the conventional rehabilitation treatment. The duration of treatment for both groups was 5 times a week for 3 months. The developmental quotient (DQ) of the children in both groups was recorded using the Geselll Developmental Scale as an assessment tool to observe the scores of the five functional areas, i.e. gross motor, fine motor, language, adaptive, and personal-social.Results:At the end of the treatment, the DQ values of the children in both groups improved significantly in each energy area (all P<0.05). The treatment group outperformed the control group in terms of total effective rate and gross motor, language, and adaptability (all P<0.05), while the differences between the two groups in fine motor and personal-social energy areas were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The "regulating abdomen and dredging collaterals" rehabilitation technique is clinically effective in the treatment of GDD, with significant improvement in gross motor, language, and adaptive energy areas.

Children have unique physiological and pathological characteristics, and their various system diseases are closely related to immune function, such as respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, endocrine system, etc. These correlations are directly or indirectly related to the intestinal micro-ecosystem. In recent years, more and more study results show that as a major component of the human micro-ecosystem, the intestinal micro-ecosystem plays a decisive role in the important physiological functions of children such as immunity, metabolism, nutrition, etc. Children's intestinal micro-ecosystem is also associated with the treatment and prognosis of infectious diseases, chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases and metabolic diseases. In this paper, the related research of intestinal micro-ecology and some common diseases in pediatrics were summarized and discussed, the correlation between intestinal micro-ecology and pediatric diseases were deeply analyzed, in order to further understand the potential pathogenesis of pediatric diseases, and to provide new ideas for guiding the clinical treatment and long-term rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the effects of therapeutic communication skills on violent behaviors in patients with schizophrenia. Methods From January to December 2014 in one level three class A psychiatric hospital, 267 hospitalized male schizophrenic was selected as experimental group undergoing therapeutic communication skills, while another 258 hospital male schizophrenic who had homogenesis as patients in the experimental group at the same time in another ward were chosen as control group receiving routine nursing. The indexes of violent behaviors incidence and protective constraint usage rate were used to assess nursing effects. Results Violent behavior incidence was 32. 58% in the experimental group which was apparently lower than 65. 12% in the control group (χ2 =55. 59, P<0. 01);the usage rate of protective constraint was 73. 56% of the experimental group lower than 85. 71% in the control group (χ2 =5. 63, P<0. 01). Conclusions Therapeutic communication skills effectively reduce the incidence of violent behaviors in patients with schizophrenia and the usage of protective constraints. Therapeutic communication skills also can relieve the complications and tensions between doctors and patients, thus deserve the promotion in psychiatry nursing.
