ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the efficacy of Complex Oral Motor Scoring (COMS) and diadochokinetic rate (DR) on evaluation of oral motor dysfunction and speech disorders in children with cerebral palsy. Methods 107 children with cerebral palsy were tested with Chi-nese-version Articulation Test, Simple Oral Motor Scoring (SOMS), COMS and DR. The correlation among SOMS, COMS and DR was analysesd. Results 85 children were abnormal in SOMS and 94 in COMS. Oral dyskinesia was found in all the children with spastic quadri-plegia, dyskinetic, ataxia and mixed type of cerebral palsy, and less in the type of spastic diplegia and hemiplegia. DR was the least in spas-tic quadriplegia, dyskinetic, mixed type of cerebral palsy, more in the type of ataxia and spastic diplegia, and the most in hemiplegia. The co-efficient of correlation among the SOMS, COMS, the longest pronunciation and DR were more than 0.8 (P<0.01). Conclusion The inci-dence and severity of oral dyskinesia and dysarthria are associated with the types of cerebral palsy. There is good correlation among SOMS, COMS, longest pronunciation and DR.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a Goto-Kakizaki ( GK) rat model of duodenal-jejunal bypass( DJB) and ob-serve the changes in insulin-resistance after surgery, and to explore the mechanism of DJB surgery in treatment of type 2 di-abetes mellitus.Methods Male Goto-kakizaki diabetic rats(GK,n=36)were used as experiment group and 18 healthy male Wistar rats as blank group.GK rats were randomly divided into two groups: diabetic control group and DJB surgery group ( n=18) .Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique was performed in 6 rats randomly taken from each group at third week, sixth week and ninth week after surgery, respectively.The expression levels of Gck, G6P, PEPCK mRNA in the liver and GLUT4 content on skeletal muscle cell plasma membrance were detected one week after the clamp test. Results In the DJB surgery group at the end of third week and sixth week after surgery, the levels of glucose infusion rates and the expression levels of Gck, G6P, PEPCK mRNA in the liver showed no statistically significant difference as com-pared with the diabetic control group (P>0.05).In the DJB surgery group at the end of 9th week after surgery, the glu-cose infusion rate and expression level of Gck mRNA in the liver were significantly higher, and the expression of G6P and PEPCK mRNA was significantly lower than those in the diabetic control group ( P0.05 for all) .Conclusions Our results indicate that the mechanism of DJB surgery improving blood glucose level may be closely related to the amel-ioration of insulin-resistance in the liver, thereby augmenting glucose uptake and inhibiting gluconeogenesis in liver through the regulation of glucose metabolism-related enzymes.There is no significant improvement in insulin-resistance in the skele-tal muscles during the experiment period.This result implies that the effect of DJB surgery on type 2 diabetes is related to the duration of therapy.
