ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effects of specific exercise therapy on spinal deformity and joint hypermobility of idiopathic scoliosis. MethodsFrom April to October, 2021, 100 children with idiopathic scoliosis in the Scoliosis Rehabilitation Center of Xinhua Hospital were divided into control group (n = 50) and experimental group (n = 50), who accepted routine exercise therapy or scoliosis-specific exercise therapy in accordance with their wishes, for six months. The maximum Cobb angle and bone mineral density were measured, and they were assessed with Beighton Scale and Chinese version of the Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire Scores (SRS-22) before and after treatment. ResultsThe change of the maximum Cobb angle was more in the experimental group than in the control group (Z = -2.202, P < 0.05) after treatment, and the incidence of respondent was more (χ2 = -2.405, P < 0.05). The bone mineral density decreased in the experimental group after treatment (|Z| > 2.127, P < 0.05). For SRS-22, the total scores increased in both groups after treatment (Ftime = 106.57, P < 0.001), and increased more in the experimental group than in the control group (F = 4.969, P < 0.05); the scores of function domain and self-image domain increased in the experimental group (|Z| > 2.149, P < 0.05), while the mental health domain score decreased in the control group (Z = -2.096, P < 0.05); and the mental health domain score was more in the experimental group than in the control group (Z = -2.260, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe scoliosis-specific exercise therapy is effective on spinal deformity and quality of life for children with idiopathic scoliosis, but less helpful for joint hypermobility and bone mineral density, which need to further improve.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of urinary tract infection after kidney transplantation and to analyze the distribution of pathogenic virulence factors.Methods From January 2014 to June 2016,a total of 255 cases were subjected to DCD renal transplantation in our center,and 45 cases of urinary tract infection occurred after operation.Among them,urinary tract E.coli infection occurred in 32 cases.The virulence factors gene aer,hly,irp2 and iucD in the 32 strains of E.coli isolated from urine were tested using PCR and multiple PCR.Results Thirty-two cases (71.1％) of urinary tract infection after renal transplantation was caused by E.coli,and divided into 9 cases of nosocomial infection group,and 23 cases of community-acquired group.The positive rate for aer,hly,irp2 and iucD in Nosocomial infection group was 66.7％,33.3％,88.9％ and 77.8％,and that in community-acquired group was 30.4％,8.70％,39.1％ and 34.7％,respectively.There were statistically significant differences among four kinds of virulence factors between two groups (P＜0.05).The positive rate of virulence factors was significantly higher in nosocomial infection group than in community-acquired groups.The total resistance rate was 84.38％,and there was significarit difference in multi-drug resistance rate between two groups (P＜0.01).Conclusion E.coli is the main pathogenic bacteria of urinary tract infection after renal transplantation,especially nosocomial infections.The detection rate of virulence factor is high,and the multiple drug resistance is outstanding,so the attention should be paid clinically.
