ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the therapeutical effect of inflatable shoulder harness on hemiplegia subluxation of shoulder joint.Methods 68 stroke patients with hemiplegia subluxation of shoulder joint were divided into two groups: the experiment group (n=34) and the control group (n=34). All the patients accepted routine rehabilitation for subluxation of shoulder joint, meanwhile, the experiment group wore inflatable shoulder harness. The interval between acromion and caput humeralis were measured according to the X-ray before and after treatment, as well as the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of shoulder pain. Results After 8 week of treatment, the rate of diaplasis or improvement was not different significantly between these groups (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the incidence and VAS score of shoulder pain, and the score of Fugl-Meyer Assessment improved significantly after the treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion On the basis of routine rehabilitation, inflatable shoulder harness may reduce the incidence and grade of shoulder pain, improve motor function of hemiplegic upper limb further in hemiplegia subluxation of shoulder.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate risk factors bringing on death and the conversion factors of renal function in the elder acute re-nal failure (ABF) and establish the prevention and treatment measure in clinic to reduce mortality. Methods The clinical information of 143 elder ARF cases which were treated by two hospitals for many years was studied. The risk factors possible bringing on death in the elder ARF were studied by using binary logistic regression pattern. The clinical factors possible affecting the conversion of renal function in the eld-er ARF were analyzed. Results Binary logistic regression pattern study showed that heart failure, respiratory failure, gastrointestinal bleed-ing, hepatic failure, coma, organ failure number and lower blood pressure among 25 study factors were found to be the risk factors bringing on death, and heart failure, respiratory failure, organ failure number and whether chronic renal insufficiency were the most important factors of affecting recover of renal function in the elder ARF. Conclusion The effective prevention and treatment measure should be adopted in the elder ARF with these risk factors so as to reduce mortality and increase the recover rate of renal function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the insertion/deletion(I/D) polymorphism of ACE gene in uncompen-sated hepatocirrhosis with hepatorenal syndrome(HRS). Methods ACE I/D polymorphism was detected by poly-merase chain reaction amplification of DNA fragment in 96 cases of uncompensated bepatocirrhnsis with HRS, every group as controls were involved in this study. At the same time,GPT,GOT,sarum creatinine(SCr), blood urea nitro-gen(BUN) and glomerular filtration rate(GFR) of every case were measured and the difference of these targets among different genotypes were compared. Results There was no significant difference for every genotype and allele fre-quency between the HRS group and every group as controls(P >0.05). The I allele frequencies were higher than the one of D allele for every groups except other liver disease group(P < 0.01). But in the every group as controls, there was no significant difference for the genotype frequency among three groups and in the HRS group, the Ⅱ genotype frequency was higher than the one of ID and DD(P < 0.05). SCr etc. of the Ⅱ genotype were higher than the one of ID and DD(P<0.05) and GFR of the Ⅱ genotype was lower than the one of ID and DD in the HRS group(P<0.05). Conclusion There was relationship between ACE gene polymorphism and the incidence of uncompensated bepatocirrhosis with HRS.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the effects of intensive training and on the activity of daily living (ADL) and motor function in cerebral infarction patients. Methods 52 cerebral infarction patients with early rehabilitation were divided into an experiment group (n=26) and a control group (n=26). All patients were treated with the conventional training. Meanwhile, the patients in the experimental group were also treated with intensive training. The Modified Barthels Index (MBI) and brief-style Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) were used to evaluate the ADL and motor function before and 1 month after treatment. Results The scores of MBI and FMA were significantly different between the two groups 1 month after treatment (P＜0.05). Conclusion Intensive training can improve the ADL and motor function more than conventional training in cerebral infarction patients.

Objective To evaluate the possible roles of IL-4,IL-18 in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.Methods Serum IL-4,IL-18 level was measured using ELISA,and serum HBV-DNA content was detected by FQ-PCR.Results There was significant in serum IL-4,IL-18 level between the fulminant hepatitis patients and chronic hepatitis patients or normal controls (P
