Meta-analysis of the effect of strengthening interventions in individuals with cerebral palsy

This study aimed to investigate the evidence that strengthening interventions can improve muscle strength and activity in individuals with cerebral palsy. The search focused on studies that employed strength training for children with cerebral palsy for which six electronic databases were used to extract literature published from 2001 to 2012. The key terms used in these searches were combined strength training, strengthening, weight training, weight lifting, resistance, and cerebral palsy. The quality of each study was assessed using the PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) scale. Thirteen randomized controlled trial studies were selected and divided into categories according to program type, mode, and outcome measures. The overall effect sizes of each study and types of strengthening were large. Strengthening exercise improved muscle strength to a greater degree, when practiced 3 times per week in 40–50 min sessions than in other categories of session length, and greater improvement was observed in younger children than in older. The effect size of the activities and variables related to gait, except for gait endurance, were medium to large. The effect size of individual muscles was large, but the effect sizes for ankle plantar flexor, hip abductor/adductor, and extensor were insignificant. Strengthening interventions are useful for increasing muscle strength in individuals with cerebral palsy, specifically in youth and children, and optimal exercise consisted of 40- to 50-min sessions performed 3 times per week. Although strengthening interventions may improve activities, including gait, more studies that are rigorous are needed to determine the contributions to gross motor function.     

心绞痛诱发脑出血后瘫痪肢体运动功能持续再现1例

患者男,51岁,湖南省株洲市人,农民,于2013年10月13日因吐词不清伴右侧肢体活动障碍1．5h入院。既往史：有高血压病史（3级,极高危）,2006年有脑出血（左侧基底节区）病史,遗留右侧肢体麻木。入院时查体：BP167／112mmHg（1mmHg-0．133kPa）,神志嗜睡,吐词不清,部分性运动性失语伴部分性感觉性失语,右侧鼻唇沟浅,右侧口角低,伸舌不合作,右侧上肢肌力0级,右侧下肢肌力3级,右侧肢体肌张力低,右侧肢体浅感觉减弱,右侧上肢腱反射减弱,右侧病理征阳性。     

对冲性额叶脑挫裂伤合并枕骨骨折的临床特点及治疗（附198例报告）

目的探讨对冲性额叶脑挫裂伤合并枕骨骨折的临床特点和治疗方法。方法回顾性分析198例对冲性额叶脑挫裂伤合并枕骨骨折患者的临床资料,其中急诊手术治疗28例,保守治疗170例（因病情变化,在保守治疗过程中改行手术治疗34例）。结果出院后随访6月～12年,按GOS评分评定预后,恢复良好156例,中残13例,重残17例,死亡12例。结论对冲性额叶脑挫裂伤合并枕骨骨折的患者入院后如果病情危重,危及生命,应急诊手术治疗;如意识障碍较轻,可保守治疗,尽可能延期手术,减少迟发性硬膜外血肿的发生。     

Detection of Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome after Carotid Endarterectomy with CT Perfusion

We present the case of a 60‐year‐old female patient, who developed symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis and subsequently underwent carotid endarterectomy. Four days after an uneventful surgery the patient developed confusion, seizures, and was admitted to the ICU. CT perfusion revealed reduced ispilateral time‐to‐peak and mean‐transient‐time and increased cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow, confirming the diagnosis of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome. We thus propose CT perfusion as a diagnostic means for cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, a syndrome that remains underdiagnosed.     

Tratamiento endovascular de un aneurisma «verdadero» de la arteria comunicante posterior

True posterior communicating artery aneurysms originate exclusively from the wall of this artery and should be differentiated from aneurysms of the posterior communicating segment of the distal carotid artery. As these lesions are rare, their anatomical relationships have been poorly described; likewise, reports concerning their endovascular treatment are extremely rare and the technical aspects poorly detailed.A case of a patient with a true aneurysm of the left posterior communicating artery treated by endovascular coiling is presented. A literature review was also conducted to illustrate the anatomical and technical details relevant to achieving its successful treatment.     

单任务平板训练与双任务平板训练对痉挛型双瘫脑瘫儿童运动功能影响的比较

目的比较单任务平板训练与双任务平板训练对痉挛型双瘫脑瘫儿童运动功能的影响。方法选取具备独立行走能力的痉挛型双瘫脑瘫患儿50例, 按照随机数字表法将其分为单任务训练组(对照组)和双任务训练组(观察组), 每组25例, 治疗期间分别脱落2例和3例, 最终纳入对照组23例, 观察组22例。2组患儿在常规康复训练基础上, 对照组进行单任务平板训练, 观察组进行双任务平板训练。治疗前、治疗2个月后(治疗后), 采用粗大运动功能评定量表(GMFM-88)D功能区(站立)和E功能区(走跑跳)、儿童平衡量表(PBS)、1 min步行试验(1MWT)评价2组患儿的粗大运动功能、平衡功能和步行移动能力, 采用改良起立-行走计时(mTUG)测试、双任务mTUG测试、双任务成本(DTE)评估2组患儿在双任务条件下的表现。结果治疗前, 2组患儿GMFM-88 D区和E区、PBS、1MWT、单任务mTUG、双任务mTUG、DTE比较, 差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗后, 2组患儿上述指标均较组内治疗前改善(P<0.05)。2组患儿治疗后GMFM-88 D区和E区、PBS、1MWT评估结果比较,...     

S100蛋白检测在脑梗死中的应用研究

目的：探讨S100蛋白检测在脑梗死（CI）中的作用价值。方法分析我院自2012年1月~2013年4月收治的76例CI患者,检测S100蛋白在CI患者发病后第3、7、14天时的水平,以及与神经功能缺损评分、脑梗死病灶面积大小的关系。同时选取我院同期行健康体检患者56例进行对照分析。结果（1）CI组与对照组比较,在术后3d与7d时,S100蛋白水平比较,P＜0.01,P＜0.05。（2）神经功能缺损评分中型、重型组与轻型组S100蛋白水平比较,P＜0.05,P＜0.01。（3）梗死面积中、大组与小梗死面积组比较,P＜0.05, P＜0.01。结论 S100蛋白在CI发病早期为高表达,同时其高表达神经功能缺损严重程度及梗死面积增大有密切关系,表明S100蛋白与CI的病理、生理的过程有一定的相关性。
