RESUMO
A total of 120 patients with initial stroke at a community health service center in Shanghai from January 2009 to March 2011 were divided randomly into intervention group (n =60) and control group (n =60).Individual comprehensive rehabilitation was carried out based on the evaluations in the intervention group.Routine therapy was given to the patients in the control group.General data evaluations were conducted at pre-intervention and 1 year post-intervention respectively.The levels of blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid(LDL-C) were all lower in the intervention group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rates of proper behavior were all higher in the intervention group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).And the rates of recurrence and mortality were lower in the intervention group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).
RESUMO
One hundred and twenty stroke patients were randomly divided into rehabilitation group (n =60) and control group (n =60).Patients were assessed with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ,Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA),Bathel Index (BI) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument Brief Version(WHOQOL-BREF) before and 6 weeks after treatment by the same doctor.The scores of NIHSS,FMA,BI and WHOQOL-BREF were improved significantly in rehabilitation group after treatment; while those of control group were no improved.The scores after treatment of rehabilitation group were significantly higher than those of control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of artemether combined with primaquine in the treatment of falciparum malaria. Methods Randomization and comparison methods were used in 121 falciparum malaria cases in the Republic of Central Africa.Sixty one cases were treated with artemether combined with primaquine(Group A used artemether orally,Group B used artemether intramuscularly).And 60 cases received single artemether (Group C used artemether orally,Group D used artemether intramuscularly ) were taken as control. Results In Group A and B the mean fever clearance time were 47 6?15 7 and 36 9?10 7 hours, clinical cure rates 84 4% and 100%, relapse rates 6 3% and 3 4% ,respectively.In Group C and D the mean fever clearance time were 48 2?18 4 and 42 2?9 5 hours,clinical cure rates 90 1% and 96 3%, relapse rates 21 2% and 18 5%,respectively.Side effects in cases of all groups were mild. Conclusion Artemether combined with primaquine and single artemether(via both routes) showed good therapeutic effects in falciparum malaria cases, while artemether combined with primaquine was more effective than single artemether in reducing relapes rate of malaria.
