One year's study of growth and total hydroxyproline excretion in scoliotic children.
21 children with scoliosis were studied for a year during which time 24-hour urinary total hydroxyproline levels are estimated and anthropometric measurements were made on 4 occasions. The total hydroxyproline levels (using hydroxyproline centiles) and the uncorrected heights of the children were all normal. The sitting heights of the children were below average, but, although the sample was small, the findings indicate that the children's 'uncoiled' height would be greater than average.
Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of the treatment upon syndrome differentiation.Method:relevant literatures were reviewed via database and assessed via randomized controlled trial(RCT) scale.A1l reviewed literatures were assessed via Jadad quality scale.Data statistical analyses were performed by RevMan 4.2 software.Result:Five pieces of collected articles of RCT were evaluated(including 349 patients).The test for heterogeneity: P = 0.38,indicating these 5 data had homogeneity,so we applied the fixed effect model.OR = 3.07,95%(2.14,4.43);Z = 6.04,P 0.00001.Conclusion: The treatment upon syndrome differentiation is effective to cure patients with constipation,has superiority over the treatment without syndrome differentiation.
