Objective To observe clinical curative effect of the external application of Wentong Paste plus local block therapy for the treatment of stenosing tendovaginitis at radial styloid. Methods A total of 108 cases of patients with stenosing tendovaginitis at the radial styloid were randomly divided into local block therapy group, combination group and Wentong Paste group, 36 cases in each group. The local block therapy group was given injection of blocking liquid into the tendon sheath, combination group was given external application of Wentong Paste(mainly composed of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Fructus Psoraleae, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, and Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii) plus local block therapy, and Wentong Paste group was only given external application of Wentong Paste. Before treatment and after treatment for one and 2 week(s), visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of pain and range of motion (ROM) of wrist joint were observed for the evaluation of clinical effectiveness and safety. The patients were followed up for 3 months for the assay of recurrence rate. Results (1) After treatment for one week, the total effective rate of local block therapy group, combination group and Wentong Paste group was 77.8%, 100.0%, 72.2%respectively, and the total effective rate after treatment for 2weeks was 86.1%, 100.0%, 86.1% respectively. The combination group had better clinical efficacy than local block therapy group and Wentong Paste group (P < 0.05). (2) After treatment for one and 2 week (s), VAS scores of the 3 groups were obviously increased while ROM was much increased (P < 0.05 compared with those before treatment). The combination group had the lowest VAS scores and highest ROM(P < 0.05).(3) No adverse reaction was found in the 3 groups during the treatment. (4) The 3 month follow-up results showed that the recurrence rate of the three groups was 30.61%, 10.20%, 20.41% respectively, and the combination group had the lower rate than local block therapy group and Wentong Paste group(P<0.05). Conclusion The external application of Wentong Paste plus local block therapy is effective for the treatment of stenosing tendovaginitis at radial styloid by relieving pain, increasing the ROM, and reducing the recurrence rate. The one-week efficacy of Wentong Paste alone was inferior to that of local block therapy alone, but their two-week efficacy showed no obvious difference. Moreover, Wentong Paste has an obvious advantage in reducing the recurrence rate.

Objective To investigate the value of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein in the diagnosis of early myocardial infarc-tion.Methods In 186 cases of suspected acute myocardial infarction due to chest pain,chest tightness for 3 h,plasma CK-MB, troponin-I(CTn-I)and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein(H-FABP)were detected.The sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing early myocardial infarction were compared among 3 kinds of indexes.Results Compared with the non-infarction group and the con-trol group,plasma CK-MB,CTn-I and H-FABP in the acute myocardial infarction group were significantly increased (P <0.05 );compared with CK-MB and CTn-I,the sensitivity of H-FABP to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction within 3 h was higher, but its specificity was lower than that of CTn-I and higher than that of CK-MB.Conclusion For the patients with acute myocardial infarction within 3 h after onset,detecting H-FABP can increase the diagnostic rate of early myocardial infarction to a certain extent.
