Objective To investigate the effects of children’s crawling-promotion-training-robot on gross motor function and cognitive function in children with global developmental delay (GDD). Methods A total of 40 children with GDD admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Children’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were selected as the research subjects. By envelope method, the children were randomly and equally divided into experimental group and control group, with 20 cases in each group. The experimental group received children’s crawling-promotion-training-robot combined with conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the control group received manual crawling training combined with conventional rehabilitation therapy. Before and after treatment, the scores of Gross Motor Function Measure Scale-88 (GMFM-88) and Gesell Developmental Scale (GDS) were respectively used to evaluate gross motor function and cognitive function. Results There was no significant difference in gender (χ2=0.100, P=0.752) and age (t=0.053, P=0.962) between the two groups. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in GMFM-88 and GDS scores between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, there were statistically significant differences in GMFM-88 and GDS scores between the two groups (P<0.05). The comparison within the group showed that there were statistically significant differences in GMFM-88 and GDS scores between the two groups before and after treatment. Conclusion Children’s crawling-promotion-training-robot is more effective than manual crawling training in improving gross motor function and cognitive function in children with GDD.
ObjectiveTo observe and compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase or urokinase in the first-ever acute ischemic stroke patients arriving at the hospital 3.5-4.5 h after onset.MethodsClinical data of patients with acute ischemic stroke treated in Shihezi People’s Hospital between January 2019 and October 2020 were prospectively collected. The National Insititutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on the 7th day and the 90th day, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and the Blessed Behavior Scale (BBS) score on the 90th day, and symptomatic bleeding within 36 h after thrombolysis were analyzed and compared between the patients receiving alteplase threatment (the alteplase group) and the ones receiving urokinase treatment (the urokinase group).ResultsTotally 96 patients were treated with intravenous thrombolysis. Among them, 58 patients received alteplase threatment and 38 received urokinase treatment. The difference in NIHSS, mRS, or BBS scores between the two groups before treatment was not statistically significant (P>0.05). On the 90th day after treatment, the NIHSS, mRS, and BBS scores of the alteplase group were 3.59±3.73, 2.26±1.26, and 15.33±8.28, respectively, and those of the urokinase group were 5.95±4.88, 3.00±0.87, and 20.37±11.80, respectively; the differences between the two groups were all statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage between the two groups within 36 h after treatment (P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the treatment method was related to the NIHSS score on the 7th day, the NIHSS score on the 90th day, the mRS score on the 90th day, and the BBS score on the 90th day (P<0.05), the history of heart disease was related to the mRS score on the 90th day (P<0.05), and the income was related to the BBS score on the 90th day (P<0.05).ConclusionFor the hyperactue ischemic stroke, the overall effect of alteplase treatment may be better than that of urokinase treatment.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of “tail compression fixation+suture bridge” technology under shoulder arthroscopy for treating primary tear in medial enthesis of rotator cuff. Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with primary tear in medial enthesis of rotator cuff who met the selection criteria between October 2020 and October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 3 males and 8 females, aged 39-79 years, with an average of 61.0 years. Rotator cuff injury was caused by traumatic fall in 8 cases, and the time from injury to admission was 1-4 months, with an average of 2.0 months; the remaining 3 cases had no obvious inducement. The active range of motion of the affected shoulder was limited, with an active forward flexion range of motion of (64.1±10.9)°, abduction of (78.1±6.4)°, internal rotation of (48.2±6.6)°, and external rotation of (41.8±10.5)°; 5 cases had shoulder stiffness. The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 7.8±0.8 and the American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score was 23.9±6.4. The patients were treated with “tail compression fixation+suture bridge” technology under shoulder arthroscopy, and the pain and functional recovery were evaluated by VAS score, ASES score, and active range of motion of shoulder joint at last follow-up; MRI was performed after operation, and the integrity of rotator cuff was evaluated by Sugaya classification system. Results All the 11 patients were followed up 2-22 months, with an average of 13.5 months. All incisions healed by first intention, and there was no complication such as infection, rotator cuff re-tear, and anchor falling off. At last follow-up, the VAS score was 0.8±0.7 and the ASES score was 93.5±4.2, which significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). All 11 patients had no significant swelling in the shoulders, and the active range of motion was (165.1±8.8)° in flexion, (75.3±8.4)° in abduction, (56.6±5.5)° in internal rotation, and (51.8±4.0)° in external rotation, which significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). Shoulder MRI showed adequate tendon thickness and good continuity in 9 cases, including 4 cases with partial high signal area; and 2 cases with inadequate tendon thickness but high continuity and partial high signal area. According to Sugaya classification system, there were 4 cases of type 1 (36.4%), 5 cases of type 2 (45.5%), and 2 cases of type 3 (18.1%).Conclusion For the patients with primary tear in medial enthesis of rotator cuff, the “tail compression fixation+suture bridge” technology under shoulder arthroscopy is simple and effective.
