Methods: Seventy children of ICP with spleen deficiency pattern were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. Those in the treatment group were given the comprehensive rehabilitation therapy plus pinching spine and acupoint sticking therapy. Those in the control group were just given the comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. The treatment was given once every day, 20-day as one course, and totally for three courses. Results: The total effective rate of the clinical symptoms was 77.1% in the treatment group and 39.9% in the control groups. The total effective rate of rehabilitation effects was 74.3% in the treatment group and 48.6% in the control group. The effective rate was obviously better in the treatment group than that in the control group, with statistical differences (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Pinching spine plus acupoint sticking therapy is remarkable in the therapeutic effects for ICP with spleen deficiency pattern, and needs to be popularized clinically.展开更多

Methods: Eighty infants with brain injury were recruited and allocated to a treatment group and a control group by their visiting sequence, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received exercise training, 40 min each session and 6 sessions a week, and tuina treatment, 30 min each time and 6 times a week. Based on the treatment protocol for the control group, the treatment group additionally received Governor Vessel-unblocking and mind-refreshing acupuncture, 3 times a week and 10 sessions as a course at a 2-week interval. Before the treatment and after 14-week treatment, the gross motor function measure (GMFM) and developmental quotient (DQ) of Bejing Gesell developmental scale were used to evaluate the development of the infants. Results: After the treatment, the GMFM score and DOs of Gesell scale all increased by different levels in the two groups, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P〈0.05); the scores of the treatment group were superior to those of the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (all P〈0.05). Conclusion: Governor Vessel-unblocking and mind-refreshing acupuncture plus functional training can significantly promote the development of gross motor and cognitive functions in infants with brain damage, and it is an early and effective intervention for infantile brain damage.展开更多

Infants have different anatomical and pathophysiological brain structures from other age groups. The aim of this study was to survey infant HI patients admitted to Shahid Behest Hospital in Kashan, Iran from 2004 to 2010, and to identify the causes of His in this age group. Methods: In this retrospective study, all HI patients under the age of two who were hospitalized for more than 24 hours between January 2004 and January 2010 were enrolled in the study. Demographic, etiologic, and injury data were collected and a descriptive analysis was performed. Results: Infants comprised 20.8% of all children (under 15 years old) with His and 65.1% of the injuries occurred in the home. Falls were the most common cause of injury (63.4%). In hospital mortality was 6.6 per 100 000 infants. A decreasing trend was seen in home events, but His caused by traffic accidents were increasing during the study period. The amount of HI infants resulting from car accidents has tripled from the years 2004 to 2010. Conclusion: Although home events and falling are the main causes of infant His and need attention, our study showed an increase of His caused by road traffic accidents, especially by car accidents, thus legislation for the implementation of protective equipment such as child safety seats and programs is urgently needed.展开更多
