In contrast, the number of dressing changes were significantly (P less then .006) less in the ECM group (1.4 ±0.8) compared with CD group (4.1 ±2.6). The ECM group showed a significant (P less then .017) shorter time to re-epithelization (10.5 ±1.7 days) than the CD group (13.1 ±2.2 days). CONCLUSIONS The application of porcine ECM is practicable and reduces the number of dressing changes and time to re-epithelization clearly. Crusts are scaling off spontaneously without any aggressive action needed. Our findings indicate that ECM application is a promising approach for rhinophyma wound care.Purpose To investigate the psychometric properties of a Chinese-translated version of the Young Children's Participation and Environment Measure.Materials and methods The Young Children's Participation and Environment Measure was translated into Chinese using cultural adaptation by adding/replacing with activities relevant to Chinese culture. Parents of 53 children aged 2-5 years with developmental disabilities and of 50 typical developing children completed the questionnaires. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, known-group validity, and discriminant validity were examined using Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation coefficient, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficients respectively.Results Internal consistency was acceptable for most scales (α = 0.42-0.89). Test-retest reliability of the summary scores was moderate to high for all scales (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.65-0.90). Known-group validity was supported by demonstrating significant differences by disadity.The Chinese version of the Young Children's Participation and Environment Measure holds promise for use in children aged 2-5 years to assess their participation and identify environmental barriers warranting intervention.Local anesthetics (LAs) are widely used in anesthesiology, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology as well as for treatment of chronic and oncological pain. However, anesthetics can cause adverse effects up to lethal ones. In this work, we cited reviews on chromatographic and spectroscopic methods of local anesthetics determination published earlier, and the main purpose was to review the possibilities and advantages of voltammetric methods used for the LAs determination. The electrochemical behavior, mechanism of LAs transformation on the various working electrodes and analytical parameters of voltammetric methods used for their determination were reviewed in the work. Vast majority of these methods were developed for the most widely used anesthetics in medicine like benzocaine, lidocaine and procaine. Special attention was paid to possible mechanisms of electrochemical oxidation and in some cases reduction of LAs or their derivatives. Voltammetry is used for the determination of LAs in pharmaceutical formulations and in biological fluids. The analytical characteristics in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility also were discussed in the article.Purpose To investigate the short-term effectiveness of the first adaptive seating system received by children with non-ambulatory cerebral palsy (CP) who are classified as level IV or V according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System.Materials and methods A trained clinical assessor examined 20 children with non-ambulatory CP (mean age 4.5 years) for their trunk control ability in static, active, and reactive tasks using the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control. Their primary caregivers were also interviewed about their child's activity and participation using the Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer - Adaptive Test in daily activity and social/cognitive domains and Family Impact of Assistive Technology Scale for Adaptive Seating in child and family functioning domains. Data for each measure were collected 3 times at baseline (pre-intervention) and then 6 weeks and 3 months after children received their first adaptive seating system.
