ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the efficacy between acupuncture and acupuncture with infrared thermography-guided Chinese massage (Tuina) in treatment of children with Bell′s palsy (BP).Methods:Seventy two children with BP admitted to the Rehabilitation Department of Beijing Children′s Hospital from October 2019 to April 2020 were randomly assigned into two groups: 35 cases were treated with acupuncture alone (acupuncture group) and 37 cases received acupuncture combined with Tuina for treatment (combination group). In combination group, the temperature of forehead, cheek and mandible areas was examined by infrared thermography before each course. Compared healthy side if the temperature on the affected side was lower, higher or the same, rubbing method, tapping method and one-finger meditation push method of Tuina was applied, afterwards the acupuncture treatment was given as in the acupuncture group. Patients in both groups were treated once a day with 5 days for a course and a total of 3 courses. The patients were assessed with House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve function evaluation scale and Portmann simple score scale before and after each course of treatment.Results:The H-B classification of the two groups of children at the end of the third course of treatment was significantly better than that before treatment (χ2=31.01, 56.41; P<0.01). There was no significant difference in H-B grading between the two groups before treatment, after the first and second course (χ2=0.58, 8.49, 6.79; P>0.05). After the third course of treatment, the H-B grading assessment of the combination group was significant better than that of the acupuncture group (χ2=10.03, P<0.05). The Portmann scores of the two groups were improved after each course of treatment ( F=9.68, 22.54; P<0.01); however, the facial nerve function of combination group was improved more significantly than that of acupuncture group [(13.97±4.58) vs.(10.97±5.40), t=2.55, P=0.01]. The total effective rate of combination group was higher than that of acupuncture group [51.35% (19/37) vs. 20.00% (7/35), χ2=6.79, P<0.05]. There was a significant difference in the application frequency of three Tuina methods among the forehead, cheek and mandibular areas in the first course and the third course (χ2=21.23, 13.33; P<0.05). In the same area (forehead, cheek and mandible) there was a significant difference in the application frequency of three massage techniques among the three courses of treatment (χ2=31.26, 21.35, P<0.01). Conclusion:With the guidance of infrared thermal imaging, individualized Chinese massage (Tuina) combined with acupuncture treatment is more effective in treatment of children with Bell′s palsy than using acupuncture alone.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of Ginseng-Sini in early goal directed treatment septic shock under PICCO.Methods: Forty four patents with septic shock were randomly divided into control group, which treated with Ginseng-Sini on the basis of routine treatment under PICCO, observation groups, which treated with only the basis of routine treatment under PICCO. Before and after the drugs were given for 6 hours, HR, IMAP, CVP, SpO2, Lac, CI, ITBVI, SVRI were monitored.Results: Before treatment, HR, IMAP, CVP, SpO2, Lac, CI, ITBVI, SVRI of the observation group were not different from the control group(P>0.05); after 6 hours of treatment, CI of the observation group were higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion: Ginseng-Sini in the early goal directed of septic shock is effective, especially in improving tissue perfusion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of music therapy on stroke patients with depression.Methods 70 post-stroke depression patients were divided into the observation group and the control group according to the hospitalized number,the control group received conventional therapy neurology without giving antidepressants;the observation group were given music therapy group basis.Both groups were at the time of enrollment and after treatment using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD),Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) for the two groups of patients assessed the degree of depression.Results After the treatment,the HAMD score of the observation group was (23.57 ± 10.33)points,compared with the control group[(28.20 ± 8.83)points],the difference was statistically significant (t =2.02,P ＜ 0.05);the SDS score of the observation group was (61.00 ± 10.67) points,compared with the control group [] (66.11 ± 10.38) points],the difference was statistically significant (t =-2.03,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Music therapy for depression in patients with post-stroke recovery has a positive meaning.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate clinical effect of sEMG-BFB training combined with swallowing training for dysphagic patients with cerebral infarction,to provide a reference for life quality improvement of dysphagic patients.Methods 48 patients with cerebral infarction combined swallowing disorder were selected.According to the digital table,patients were divided into the control group and observation group,24 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were given training such as routine training and behavioral swallowing training,while patients in the observation group were given sEMG-BFB training based on training of the control group.FOIS score,Kubota's water drinking test grade,SSA score and SWAL-QOL score were compared between two groups.Results After treatment,FOIS score,SSA score and SWAL-QOL score of the observation group were (3.82 ± 1.04),(19.97 ± 8.17),(158.23 ± 10.27),which were significantly higher than those of the control group [(2.82 ± 1.21),(24.21 ± 6.31),(139.23±7.32),t =4.394,4.115,5.642,all P ＜ 0.05] ; Kubota's water drinking test grade of the observation group was better than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (U =283.43,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion sEMG-BFB training combined with swallowing training is helpful for dysphagic patients with cerebral infarction to improve swallowing ability and life quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the traumatic indicators of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (c-VATS) with traditional open surgery (TOS) for lung cancer patients, and further explore the minimal invasiveness of c-VATS. Methods From January 2010 to February 2013, 45 cases with complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (c-VATS gurop) and 42 cases with traditional open surgery (TOS group) were compared in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, duration of chest drainage, the perioperative cytokine and immune cells (CRP,WBC,N,L),pain score and shoulder function score. Results There was no significant difference between groups in sex, age, pathological type, stage,operating time and the perioperative cytokine and immune cells (CRP, WBC, N, L) ( >0.05);Compared with TOS group, c-VATS group intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced [(167.4±68.5) mL vs (288.6±84.0) mL, =0.000];Drainage time of TOS group was significantly longer than that of c-VATS group [(4.64±2.10) days vs (3.20±1.20) days, =0.000];The postoperative pain measurements in c-VATS group were less than that in TOS group, but the difference between groups was not significant on postoperative 1 day ( =0.542) and significant on postoperative 3 day,7 day,30 day ( = 0.034, 0.000, 0.000) . Patients activities of daily living scores at postoperative 7 day and 30 day in c-VATS group were significantly better than those in TOS group, with statistically significant differences ( =0.000,0.000) . Conclusion Whether the short-term effect or the long-term results,the VATS lung resection is better than the traditional open surgery. c-VATS resection of lung cancer is more invasive.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the dose-response relationship of the treatment temperatures and heating time on human cervical carcinoma hela cells,aiming at providing experimental evidences for clinical hy-perthermia. Methods Hela cells were heated at 37 ～ 70 ℃ in temperature-controlled water baths, the tempera-ture was divided into nine groups,each time was divided into eight subgroups (1 ～ 30 min). The morphology changes of cells after hyperthermia were detected by inverted microscope. Proliferation rates were measured by MTT colorimetric assay. The apoptesis rates were determined by flow eytometric analyse. The levels of prolifera-ring cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were measured with immunohistochemistry. Results lnereaseing the heating time at the same temperature, or increaseing heating temperature at the same time, the cell proliferation, survival rates and PCNA expression decreased. There was no significant morphological change about cells ,but have small amount of apoptosis and a direct role of the suppression and destruction at 41 ℃ and 43 ℃ group. A large num-ber of cells shrinked to round and a major role for apoptosis at 46℃ group. Cell necrosis was major role at 50 ℃and 55 ℃ group. More than 55 ℃ for necrotic cells. Conclusion With the increase of heating temperature and heating time, its treatment of Hela cells gradually enhance. So combining dose-effect relationship of hyperthermia temperature and time can reach the best therapeutic effects.
