RESUMO
Objective:To observe any effect of supplementing applied behavior analysis with speech-and-language therapy in improving the language ability of children on the autism spectrum.Methods:A total of 60 children with an autism spectrum disorder were divided at random into an experimental group ( n=30) and a control group ( n=30). The control group accepted 3 hours of applied behavior analysis 5 days per week for 3 consecutive months. Over the same period the experiment group accepted 1.5 hours of applied behavior analysis and 1.5 hours of speech-language therapy. Before and after the intervention, sign-significate relations (S-S) and the language retardation examination were used to evaluate the language comprehension, expression, oral communication, the complexity of oral expression content, and the vocabulary of comprehension and expression of the two groups. Results:After the intervention, comprehension and expression in each stage of the S-S had improved significantly in both groups, but the average comprehension and language expression of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group. Oral communication improved significantly in both groups but complexity and the vocabulary used had improved significantly more in the experimental group.Conclusion:Supplementing applied behavioral analysis with speech-language therapy can improve the language ability of children on the autism spectrum significantly better than behavioral analysis alone.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis system combined with electromyograph cannot only objectively analyze movement function of the upper limb, but also exert an important role in exploring the exercise-related factors and the underlying mechanism. OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of movement velocity and target location on kinematics and muscle activity in upper limb reaching. METHODS:Twelve healthy young adults reached for three different location targets (frontal, ipsilateral and contralateral) at self-selected and fast speeds to with the dominant right hand, respectively. Kinematic parameters and muscle activity were recorded by Vicon 3D motion analysis system and Noraxon wireless electromyograph, synchronously. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Reach path ratio became smal er when moving faster (P<0.001), while mean velocity, peak velocity and the time percentage of peak velocity increased (P<0.001). Posterior deltoid, biceps brachi and triceps brachi activation was higher during fast speed movement (P<0.001). Muscle activation of anterior deltoid was lower in ipsitralateral reaching than contralateral (P=0.001) and frontal reaching (P<0.001), and posterior deltoid was higher than contralateral reaching (P=0.019). Biceps brachi (P=0.039) and triceps brachi (P<0.001) activation was also higher in ipsitralateral reaching than frontal reaching. These results suggest that moving fast can contribute to more muscle activation, high velocity, smooth trajectory and increased movement quality. Posterior deltoid, elbow extension and flexion muscle activation are high in ipsitralateral reaching, while high anterior deltoid activation in contralateral reaching;therefore, target location result in muscle synergies.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of individual antiviral therapy of tenofovir combined with inter-feron α1b for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). METHODS:96 CHB patients were randomly divided into control group,observation group A and observation group B,with 32 cases in each group. Control group was given entecavir orally,0.5 mg,qd;observation group A was given tenofovir orally,1 piece,qd;observation group B was additionally given interferon α1b,50 μg,3 times a week,on the basis of observation group A. The treatment course lasted for 48 weeks in 3 groups. Clinical efficacy of 3 groups was compared,and the changes of serum liver function indexes,HBV-DNA negative conversion rate and the occurrence of ADR were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS:The total effective rate of observation group B(84.38%)was significantly higher than that of observation group A(62.60%)and control group(37.50%),and that of observation group A was significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance (P0.05). The negative rate of HBV-DNA in observation group B were significantly higher than those in control group and observation group A after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment,with statistical significance(P0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 3 groups. CON-CLUSIONS:Tenofovir combined with interferon α1b shows significant clinical efficacy for CHB,and is significantly better than that of entecavir and tenofovir alone.
RESUMO

BACKGROUND:Differences exist between the action execution of the dominant hand and the nondominant hand during daily lives. With the increasing of the age, the dominant hand and the nondominant hand play an equaly important role in the action execution and implementation during daily lives. Previous studies mainly focus on the muscle strength of upper limbs. However, studies on the influence of joint dynamic characteristics and trajectory deviation on the occupational activities have been increased gradualy. The three-dimension motion capture and analysis have become the reliable and valid standard of the assessment of the upper limb movement. OBJECTIVE:By using the three-dimensional kinematic analyze method, to colect the data of the healthy elderly people using the upper limbs to drink water respectively with the cups of different weights and to investigate whether there is a difference between dominant and nondominant hands under different weight-bearing conditions based on upper limb kinematics METHODS: Sixteen right-handed elder people were chosen to be the experimental subjects. The upper limb motion of drinking water with different weight was captured by Vicon Nexus. By Data modeling and trajectory filtering with pipeline and data normalizing with the Matlab, the three-dimensional angle and peak value of the velocity of the should, elbow and wrist joint in the bilateral upper limbs were analyzed and compared when lifting the cups of 100, 200 and 500 g. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The most significant difference could be found in the three-dimensional movement angle of the elbow joint when holding the weights: there were significant differences in 100 g horizontal plane (X axis) and sagittal plane (Z axis), 200 g frontal plane (Y axis) and sagittal plane (Z axis), and 500 g three-dimensional plane (P 0.05). These results show that there is a difference in the movement angle and angular velocity between the dominant hand and the nondominant hand when drinking water. A great change of movement angle could be found in the X axis of the elbow joint in the dominant hand, and a great change of the movement angle could be found in the Z axis of the elbow joint in the nondominant hand. The angluar velocity in the Y axis has better changes than in the Z axis. The size of the weights has no effect on the movement of bilateral upper limbs.
