Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Action Observation Training in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy.

This study presents the results of a randomized controlled trial utilizing a 2 x 2 factorial design, comparing the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and action observation training (AOT) intervention methods on spasticity, balance function, and motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). The study aimed to investigate whether the combination of the two interventions produces greater improvement than either treatment alone or conventional treatment. Subject children in this study, in accordance with the random number table, were randomly divided into four groups: conventional group, rTMS group, AOT group, and combined intervention group.

Roles of dissolved humic acid and tannic acid in sorption of benzotriazole to a sandy loam soil.

To clarify the role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in sorption of organic pollutants, batch experiments on effects of two representatives of DOM (dissolved humic acid (HA) and tannic acid (TA)) on sorption of benzotriazole (BTA) to a sandy loam soil were conducted. Both HA and TA promoted BTA sorption to soil. Strong positive correlation between sorbed amount of BTA and DOM confirmed the contribution of cumulative sorption by HA or TA in enhancing BTA binding.
