RESUMO
Objective To analyze the correlation between the multiple evaluation indicators in the early stage and the cure time(needed time from treatment to cure)of the patients with facial neuritis treated by ac-upuncture combined with medication,and to optimize the subjective and objective indicators enable predicting the cure time of facial neuritis in early stage.Methods All patients were treated by acupuncture and medica-tion combination.The research subjects were 64 patients with facial neuritis from the outpatient of cupuncture and moxibustion department of this hospital.The correlation between the grade of facial nerve paralysis,sur-face electromyography related data,scores of self-made symptom scoring scale,Sunnybrook Facial Grading System(SFGS)score,Facial Disability Index-Physical(FDIP)score,Facial Disability Index-Social(FDIS)score on 7 d of onset with the cure time was analyzed.Results The cure time was positively correlated with the grade of facial nerve paralysis and FDIS score on 7 d of onset(P＜0.01),amd negatively correlated with the scores of self-made symptom scoring scale,FDIP score,SFGS score and the affected side to healthy ratio of CMAP amplitude of buccal temporal branch of facial nerve(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05);the cure time had no sig-nificant correlation with the ratio of affected side and healthy side of CMAP amplitude in zygomatic branch of facial nerve,the ratio of affected side and healthy side of CMAP latent period of temporal branch,buccal branch and zygomatic branch of facial nerve and F wave output rate(P＞0.05).Conclusion In the early stage subjective indicators of the acupuncture combined with medication for treating facial neuritis,grade of facial nerve paralysis,self-made symptom scoring scale,scores of self-made symptom scoring scale,FDIP and FDIS scores and the ratio of affected side to healthy side of CMAP amplitude of the buccal branch,temporal branch of the facial nerve in sEMG in the objective indicators could be used to predict the cure time,better guide the treatment and have more effective and accurate comunication with the patients.
RESUMO
Objective To observe clinical effect of Huxiang-Yangwei powder combined with conventional western medicine on gastric motility and gastrointestinal hormones in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis. Methods A total of 100 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis according to the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was given routine symptomatic treatment. Based on the treatment of control group, the observation group was given Huxiang-Yangwei powder therapy. After 1 month, the gastroscope score, pathological tissue score, gastric motility index (gastric motility rhythm, gastroelectric rhythm and gastric antrum motility), and the improvement of plasma gastrointestinal hormone (MTL, GAS, SS) were compared. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 92.0% (42/50), and the total effective rate of the control group was 78.0% (39/50), with statistically significant (Z=-2.978, P=0.003). After treatment, the under gastroscope score (0.59 ± 0.06 vs. 1.23 ± 0.17, t=4.877) and the pathological organization score (0.65 ± 0.08 vs. 1.33 ± 0.19, t=5.096) of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the gastric motility rhythm (76.15% ± 8.77% vs. 62.35% ± 7.31%, t=5.301), gastroelectric rhythm (81.02% ± 9.23% vs. 73.02% ± 8.43%, t=5.286), gastric antral motility (0.012 ± 0.002? vs. 0.008 ± 0.001 ?, t=4.160) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the plasma MTL (246.73 ± 31.82 pg/ml vs. 203.86 ± 27.91 pg/ml, t=5.832), GAS (49.55 ± 6.25 pg/ml vs. 35.81 ± 4.63 pg/ml, t=5.126), SS (17.35 ± 2.76 pg/ml vs. 15.01 ± 2.60 pg/ml, t=4.970) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The application of Huxiang-Yangwei powder in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis patients can repair gastric mucosa, regulate gastrointestinal hormone levels and increase gastric motility.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effects of Tongluo-Jiedu-Huazhuo decoction on hemorheological indexes and gastric juice components in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis.Methods According to the inclusion criteria,84 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,with 42 cases in each group.The control group received the routine clinical treatment,and the observation group was treated with Tongluo-Jiedu-Huazhuo decoction on the basis of the control group.The clinical symptoms were scored before and after treatment.The blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,hematocrit,fibrinogen and erythrocyte aggregation index were measured bY automatic hemorheology instrument,and gastric juice pH,free acid,pepsin and nitrite levels were measured by serial gastric juice detection method.The clinical efficacy was evaluted.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 90.5％ (38/42),and the total effective rate of the control group was 76.2％ (32/42),with statistically significant difference (Z=-2.683,P＜0.05).After treatment,the scores of epigastric pain,stomach swelling,nausea and vomiting,acid reflux and dietary deficiency in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t were 4.865,4.632,4.716,4.582,4.433,respectively,all Ps＜0.05),and the whole blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,hematocrit,fibrinogen and erythrocyte aggregation index were significantly lower than those in the control group (t were 5.044,4.462,5.274,4.231 and 4.485,respectively,all Ps＜0.05).The gastric juice pH (2.28 ± 0.33 vs.2.75 ± 0.38,t=4.825),nitrite (33.27 ± 4.45 mg/L vs.38.80 ± 4.93 mg/L,t=5.136) in the observation group were significantly lower than the control group (P＜0.05).The free acid (22.13 ± 3.36 mmol/L vs.18.65 ± 2.54 mmol/L,t=5.382),pepsin (144.56 ± 15.86 U vs.137.16 ± 14.63 U,t=5.736) in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions The application of Tongluo-Jiedu-Huazhuo decoction in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis can improve the hemorrheology index and regulate the function of gastric secretion,which is helpful to protect the gastric mucosa and relieve the clinical symptoms.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the effects of acupoint application combined with modified Xiaoqinglong decoction on airway remodeling and serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and eosinophil chemotactic factor (eotaxin) levels in patients with bronchial asthma. Methods A total of 78 patients with bronchial asthma were randomly divided into two groups, 39 cases each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy, and the study group was treated with acupoints plus Xiaoqinglong decoction on the basis of the control group.The treatment effect,adverse reaction were observed, and airway remodeling associated indicators like Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and serum CRP, IL-8, Eotaxin levels were detected as well. Results After treatment, the clinical asthma control rate was 87.18% (34/39) in the study group and 58.97% (23/39) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.885,P<0.05).After treatment,the TGF-β1(6.74 ± 2.21 μmol/L vs.10.90 ± 2.24 μmol/L,t=8.256),VEGF(27.63 ± 5.14 ng/ml vs.35.76 ± 5.82 ng/ml,t=6.539),bFGF(7.15 ± 1.54 μmol/L vs.12.62 ± 2.23μmol/L,t=12.605)in the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the CRP (9.16 ± 1.85 mg/L vs.16.74 ± 2.20 mg/L,t=16.468),IL-8(51.26 ± 17.25 pg/L vs.114.32 ± 20.15 pg/L,t=14.847),IL-8 (98.59 ± 34.12 pg/ml vs.159.62 ± 52.74 pg/ml,t=6.068)in the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reaction between the study group 20.5%(8/39) and the control group12.8%(5/39) during treatment (χ2=0.831, P>0.05). Conclusions The acupoint application combined with modified Xiaoqinglong decoction can significantly improve the clinical effect, inhibit airway remodeling, decrease the level of serum CRP, IL-8 and Eotaxin in patients with bronchial asthma, and its safety is high.
