Changes of sympathetic skin responses at the acute stage of shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the role of activities of sympathetic nerve in the pathogenesis of shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) by analyzing the hand sympathetic skin response (SSR) at the acute stage of SHS after stroke. Methods 50 stroke patients with SHS at the acute stage were assigned as SHS group, another 50 stroke patients without SHS as control group (N-SHS group) and 50 health volunteers as health group. Every patient was subjected to the detection of bilateral hand SSR. Results The detection rates of SSR in the SHS group and N-SHS group were significantly lower than that in the Health group (P 0 . 05 ) . In comparison with the health group , bilateral SSR latencies of the SHS group were longer than those of the health group (P<0.05) and bilateral SSR amplitudes were all lower than those of the health group (P<0.01). Conclusions The bilateral hand sympathetic skin responses could change at the acute stage of SHS after stroke, with possible presentations of central inhibition of sympathetic activity. The abnormality of SSR may be an early warning indicator in patients with hemiplegia after stroke complicated with SHS.

Relationship among Characteristic of Blink Reflex, Facial Nerve Electroneurography and Functional Lesion at the Early Stage of Bell's Palsy / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective To investigate the relationship among blink reflex, facial nerve electroneurography and functional lesion at the ear-ly stage of Bell's palsy. Methods Blink reflex and electroneurography of facial nerve were performed in 25 patients with early Bell's palsy. They were divided into mild to moderate damage and severe damage according to the result. They were evaluated by House-Blackmann (H-B) scale and were identified:grade I, normal;grade II-III, mild-moderate facial paralysis;grade IV-VI, severe facial paralysis. Results The positive rate of blink reflex was 100%, with the proportion of mild-moderate damage was 28%and severe damage was 72%. H-B scale evaluation showed the percentage of mild-moderate facial paralysis was 44%, severe facial paralysis was 56%, which was consistent with blink reflex (P>0.05). The positive rate of electroneurography was 52%, with the proportion of mild-moderate damage was 44%and severe damage was 8%, which was inconsistent with H-B scale evaluation (P<0.05). Conclusion Blink reflex is preferable to electroneurography in evaluating facial paralysis degree at the early stage of Bell's palsy.

Clinical Efficacy and Transdermal Absorption of Suhong Bone-penetrating Massage Drug for Rheumatic Arthralgia / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and transdermal absorption of Suhong bone-penetrating massage drug for rheumatic arthralgia. METHODS:Suhong bone-penetrating massage drug(Chinese medicine) was applied in 300 cases with rheumatic arthralgia characterized by various symptoms such as bone spur, injury, scapulohumeral periarthritis, acute injury or chronic strain of articular surrounding soft tissue; Suhongtougu powder was used as control to treat another 120 cases with the same disease. The curative efficacies in two groups were compared. The effects of the effective components such as Muskone,Borneo Camphor,Menthol in Suhong bone-penetrating massage drug on the transdermal absorption of this preparation was investigated by transdermal test on mice. RESULTS:The total effective rate in the treatment group was 93.24% as compared with 80.00% in the control group, showing significant difference between two groups(P

Five Concepts to Be Emphasized during the Teaching of Clinical Obstetrics Practice for Medical Students / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Clinical obstetrics practice is a very important process. According to our exploration on it on 7-year-systemmedical students in our hospital for nine years, we think that if you want high quality 7-year-system medical students,five concepts should be emphasized besides traditional basic knowledge, basic theory and basic skill, which are familyplanning and eugenics, loving infants, whole concept, new medical model and renewing knowledge.
