ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of acupoint catgut embedding therapy combined with Buzhong Decoction in the treatment of depression for spleen qi stagnation type gastroptosis. Methods From November 2015 to October 2017 due to ptosis of the stomach (spleen qi stagnation type) and on the basis of study, 60 patients in our hospital were randomly divided into two groups. 30 cases of control group was given Buzhongyiqi pill treatment and the observation group of 30 cases was given acupoint catgut embedding therapy combined with Buzhong Decoction for depression. Results After treatment, the observation group's lassitude, anorexia, abdominal distension and symptom score lower than the control group; total efficiency of observation group was 93. 33％ higher than that of the control group (28/30), 70％ (21/30). The difference was obvious, P＜0. 05. Conclusion Buzhong Decoction in treating gastroptosis for depression with catgut embedding(spleen qi stagnation type) has significant effects, which can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms and is worthy of promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of diuretic (furosemide) therapy on kidney injury induced by melamine and cyanuric acid in rats. Methods 36 male Spragne Dawley rats were random disided into 3 groups. Group A was treated with 2mL of water daily, group B was treated with melamine and cyanuric acid ( each 100 mg/kg) daily for 4 days and then 2ml of water daily, group C was treated with the same as group B at the first 4 days and then treatment with furosemide (20mg/kg) daily. Samples of blood and 24h urine were collected to detective biochemical indexes, and kidney sections were performed on days 4 and 11 ( each end point, n = 6). The kidneys were observed with histopathology and renal crystal deposition scores were determined. Results On the 4th day, group B and group C were resulted in acute kidney injury such as oliguria [ ( 3. 39 ± 1.02 ) ml, ( 3. 20 ± 0. 86 ) ml ] and high serum creatinine [ ( 153.54 ±27. 08)μmol/L, (160. 11 ± 19. 55)μmol/L] and renal melamine cyanurate crystal were found in the renal tissues. On the 11th day, the renal crystal deposition score in the rats was reduced by 9. 52% ( P >0. 05). Compared with those of the 4th day in group B, it reduced by 63.63%( P <0.05) in group C. Urine volume were increased significantly compared with those of the 4th day( P < 0. 05 ) in group C [ from (3.20±0. 86)ml to (25.96 ±5.97)ml] and group B [ from(3. 39 ± 1.02)ml to (8. 57 ± 1.66)ml] , and Urine volume in group C was increased significantly more than that in group B ( P < 0. 05 ). The serum creatinine was obviously reduced as compared with those of the 4th day in group B and C( P <0.05), from[ (153. 54±27.08) μmol/L] to [ ( 106. 10 ±5.53) μmol/L] in group B and from [ ( 160. 11 ± 19. 55) μmol/L] to [ (67. 17 ± 12. 80 ) μmol/L] in group C, but the serum creatinine in group B was still higher than that in group A and C ( P < 0. 05). Conclusions Furosemide can attenuate the damage of acute kidney injury induced by melamine and cyanuric acid.
