ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe effects of lower-limb rehabilitation robots on the lower limb spasticity,motor function and ADL of hemiplegic patients after stroke.Method:40 cases of hemiplegic patients were randomly allocated to experiment and control groups (n=20 in each).The experiment group received training assisted by a leg rehabilitation robot LR2 for 30 min once daily for 6 weeks in addition to conventional treatments.The control group was given conventional treatments once daily for 6 weeks.Their lower limbs spasticity,motor function and ADL were assessed with the modified Ashworth rating scale(MAS),Simplified Fugl-Meyer Movement Scale (FMA) and Modified Barthel Index assessment method (MBI) before and after training.Result:After treatment,the lower limb spasticity was significantly lowered (P＜0.05),lower limb motor function and ADL were significantly improved (P＜0.05),and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Leg rehabilitation robot LR2 can lower the spasticity of lower limb muscle and improve lower limb motor function and the ability of daily living in stroke patients,and the short term effect is better than conventional rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of leg rehabilitation robot training on motor and activities of daily living in hemiplegic pa-tients after stroke. Methods From June, 2015 to July, 2016, 40 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into control group (n=20) and ex-perimental group (n=20). Both groups received routine rehabilitation, and the experimental group received leg rehabilitation robot training in addition for six weeks. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Limb (FMA-L), the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Balance (FMA-B), Holden walk-ing function classification and modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to access the motor function, balance function, walking ability and activities of daily living (ADL), respectively. Results After treatment, the scores of FMA-L, FMA-B, Holden walking function classification and MBI improved (χ2>8.980, t>3.902, P2.075, P<0.05). Conclusion Leg rehabilitation robot could facilitate to improve lower extremity motor function, balance function, walking ability and ADL in hemiplegic patients after stroke.
ABSTRACT
Objective This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of fast track surgery (FTS) with conventional perioperative management in colonl cancer patients undergoing radical resection.Methods From May 2011 to May 2013,66 patients with colorectal cancer were randomly assigned to FTS group and control group.Outcomes were assessed by length of postoperative hospital stay,medical cost,nutritional status,gut function,and postoperative complication.Results FTS group was associated with a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay,lessmedical cost,earlier first passage of flatus,less loss of body weight in the postoperative period compared with control group,and there were no differences in morbidity or mortality between two groups.Conclusion The radical resection under the guidence of fast track rehabilitation is safe and effective method.Significantly reduce patients' perioparative stess response and accelerate the recovery.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the correlation of the expression of progesterone receptor membrane component-1 to the clinicopathological features of breast cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of PGRMC1 was detected immunohistochemically in 60 surgical specimens of breast cancer, and the association of PGRMC1 with the histological grade, lymphatic metastasis, TNM stage and prognosis was assessed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Positive CA-9 expression was detected in 37 (61.67%) of the cases. PGRMC1 expression was significantly correlated to lymph node metastasis (P=0.004), tumor size (P=0.03), TNM stage (P=0.039), overall survival rate (Log-rank=10.378, P=0.0001), and tumor-free survival (Log-rank=4.443, P=0.035), but not to the patients' age (P=0.196) or histological grade (P=0.526). Multivariate survival analysis indicated that PGRMC1 was an independent prognostic factor of breast cancer (P=0.002).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expression of PGRMC1 is strongly associated with the progression of breast cancer, and may serve as a useful prognostic indicator of the malignancy.</p>

@#Objective To observe the effect of mechanical horseback riding on balance ability in stroke patient. Methods 40 stroke patients were divided into 2 groups. Treatment group was treated with mechanical horseback riding exercise and routine rehabilitation therapy, while control group was treated with the routine therapy only. They were assessed with the flat pressure test system and the Berg balance scale before and 10 weeks after the treatment. Results Comparing with control group, the whole path length and the unit path length when opening eyes decreased in treatment group （P<0.05）. Conclusion Mechanical horseback riding could improve the balance ability in stroke patients.
ABSTRACT
@# Objective To discuss therapeutic effect of mechanical horseback riding on the activities of daily living in the elderly stroke patient.Methods 47 stroke patients were randomly divided into two groups: Treatment group was treated with mechanical horseback riding exercise and routine traditional treatment, while control group was treated the traditional treatment only. 8 weeks after treatment, the degree of activity of daily living and motor function were assessed with the modified Barthel Index and the Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale respectively before and after the treatment.Results Comparing with control group, the score of FMA and modified Barthel index in horseback riding group were higher significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion Mechanical horseback riding could enhance the activity of daily living of elder stroke patients.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the effect of nursing intervention for dysphagia in elderly patients with stroke.Methods 17 patients accepted swallow training individually.Their swallowing functions were assessed before and after training.Results Their swallowing functions improved after 4-week-training(P<0.01).Conclusion Rehabilitation nursing is effective on dysphagia in elderly patients with stroke.
ABSTRACT
@# The research of the falls and impairment in senior population were radically paid more attention nowadays. This article was gathering associated materials and documents to assess the fall risks and factors , and giving some efficient guideline and recommendation of the falls, in order to raise the awareness of the fall risk control and prevention , so as to develop te quality of life in their later life.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study The effect of a early systemic psycho-rehabilitation intervention on patients with post-stroke depression.Methods 80 patients with post-stroke depression were randomly divided into test group (n=40) and control group (n=40) by Hamilton's Depression Scale (HAMD).They were treated conventionally by neurologist. The patients in test group were added systemic psychological intervention administered by psychologist and movement training administered by professional physiatrician. And then the scores to HAMD and CNFDS (clinical neurological functional defect scoring) between two groups were evaluated until 2 weeks or 4 weeks later. Results Nerve function of the both groups was improved,and score to HAMD in the test group was less than that in control group (P
