ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the significance of rehabilitation integrated system for stroke patients. Methods From October, 2013 to June, 2015, 95 stroke patients were divided randomly into experimental group (n=48) and control group (n=47). The experimental group received rehabilitation under the guide of rehabilitation integrated system, while the control group in the routine process. They were assessed with simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Barthel Index (BI) before and 3 months after treatment. The satisfaction was also inves-tigated. Results There was no significant difference between groups in the differences of scores of FMA and BI before and after treatment (t0.05), while the satisfaction was higher in the experimental group (t=4.287, P<0.01). Conclusion The application of rehabilitation integrated system may improve the process of treatment and the efficiency of management, and result in more satisfaction of the stroke pa-tients.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Mouse nerve growth factor can promote the repair and regeneration of injured nerves, but current experimental research shows that the effects of different treatment methods are stil controversial. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of mouse nerve growth factor injection via different ways on the treatment of peripheral nerve injury. METHODS:Total y 52 patients with peripheral nerve injury were randomly assigned into two groups:experimental group (local injection of mouse nerve growth factor, n=27) and control group (systemic administration of mouse nerve growth factor, n=25). The treatment was performed once a day, and lasted for 4 weeks. Then, the clinical efficacy and recovery of neurological function were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The good and effective rates were 85%(n=23) and 93%(n=25) in the experimental group, while 72%(n=18) and 84%(n=21) in the control group, respectively, which were significantly better in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05). In the experimental group, 13 cases developed transient pain at injection site, including one case of remission undergoing oral analgesics;in the control group, 12 cases had transient pain at injection site, without any treatment. The results suggest that both local and total body injection of mouse nerve growth factor are safe and effective for treatment of peripheral nerve injury, but local injection is superior to systemic administration.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:TO summarize the treatment of complicated proximal humeral fracture with artificial shoulder replacement.METHODS:A computer-based online search of VIP was performed for related articles published between January 1998 and October 2009 with the key words"shoulder joint,prosthesis replacement,proximal humeral fracture".Articles with high correlation were included.and repetitive studies were excluded.The data were firstly collected,the references of each article were reviewed.RESULTS:A total of 18 articles were included The treatment of complicated proximal humeral fracture remains controversial.Early semi-shoulder ioint replacement is an appropriate method.Shoulder replacement includes humeral head replacement and total shoulder replacement.Neer and Biligani type are typical artificial humeral head.The fixation patterns of humeral head prosthesis shaft include cemented and cementless.Bone cement includes total bone cement and proximal cement fixation,and cementless includes pressure fixation and compaction bone grafting.Complications following shoulder replacement involve prosthesis instability,nodule heterotopia,heterotopic ossification,prosthesis loosening,periprosthetic fracture,infection and nerve injury.CONCLUSION:Majority of complications can be prevented by appropriate location of prosthesis,reconstruction of greater and lesser tubercle.and in combination with postoperative rehabilitation treatment.
