ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Tianwang Buxin Decoction for delirium after hip joint replacement in senile femoral neck fracture patients. Methods A total of 57 senile patients with femoral neck fracture induced by falling were enrolled from the department of arthropathy of Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine admitted from September of 2009 to February of 2014. The patents were aged over 65 years, and had delirium after hip joint replacement. Random number method was used to divide the patients into Chinese medicine group ( 29 cases) and western medicine group ( 28 cases) , which were given oral use of Tianwang Buxin Decoction and Olanzapine separetely. Before and after treatment, we observed the scores of Delirium Rating Scale (DRS), time for delirium disappearing, and incidence of indifferent mind and somnolence.Results (1) After treatment, DRS scores were obviously decreased in both groups (P0.05). (2) The difference of time for delirium disappearing was insignificant between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). ( 3) After treatment, 7 cases of the control group had indifferent mind or somnolence, accounting for 25%. No case of the treatment group had indifferent mind or somnolence. The difference between the two groups was significant ( P<0.01). Conclusion Oral use of Tianwang Buxin Decoction has the same effect as Olanzapine for the treatment of delirium after hip joint replacement in falling-induced senile femoral neck fracture patients, and has the advantages of having no adverse reaction of indifferent mind or somnolence, and can realize comprehensive treatment by modification of the recipe according to the symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of Guxi Recipe 2 combined with joint loosening training for the treatment of postoperative ankylosis in tibial plateau fracture patients.Methods Thirty-two patients with postoperative ankylosis had active exercise combined with small-range continuous passive motion(CPM) 2 weeks after operation,and received steaming and washing with Guxi Recipe 2(mainly composed of Herba Menthae,Radix Saposhnikoviae,fermented soybean,Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii,Ramulus Cinnamomi,Radix Clematidis,Radix Pterospermi Heterophylli,Radix Angelicae Pubescentis,Olibanum,Cortex Acanthopanacis,and Myrrha) combined with CPM and manipulation for loosening joint 3 weeks after operation.The function of knee joint was assayed with the criteria of knee joint function evaluation issued by the Hospital for Special Surgery(HSS) 6 and 12 months after operation.Results The results of knee joint function scoring showed that the therapeutic effect was excellent in 21 patients,good in 8,average in 3,and the excellent and good rate was 90.6%.Conclusion Guxi Recipe 2 combined with joint loosening training is effective on the recovery of knee joint function of tibial plateau fracture patients with postoperative ankylosis.
ABSTRACT
Three viewpoints have been refined from the research on present situation of Medical Ethics teaching,and are probed out as followed:①The position of Medical Ethics in medical education has been underestimated and even ignored;②Dull teaching means、rigid teaching content and informal testing pattern were the drawbacks of Medical Ethics teaching model;③Compared with its external counterpart,the internal medical ethics teaching model requires to be improved.This article aims to provide direction and foundation for the optimizing research of Medical Ethics teaching model.
