ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint injection in treating diabetic gastroparesis.MethodThe eligible subjects with diabetic gastroparesis were randomized into atreatment group and a control group following the random number table. In addition to the conventional managements for diabetes, the treatment group was given acupoint injection, while the control group was prescribed with oral administration of Domperidone tablets. For both groups, 30 d treatment was taken as a treatment course. The clinical symptoms, gastric emptying, and electrogastrogram were observed before and after treatment.Result The total effective rate was 92.3% in the treatment group, significantly superior to 85.3% in the control group (P<0.05); the symptoms including early fullness, abdominal bloating, upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting in the treatment group showed more significant improvements than that in the control group (P<0.05); the amplitudes and frequencies showed on the electrogastrogram before and after dinner were significantly increased after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the treatment group was significantly superior to the control group in comparing the amplitude and frequency before and after dinner duringthe same period (P<0.05).ConclusionAcupoint injection can significantly mitigate the symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis, moreover, it can improve the gastric electrical rhythm, and it can produce a better therapeutic efficacy compared to oral medication.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>To summarize the surgical treatment for locally advanced lung cancer invading heart and great vessels.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and eighteen cases of lung cancer accepting cardiovascular plasty operation from 1980 to 2001 were reviewed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The operations included partial resection of left atrium in 38 cases, pulmonary artery resection and restruction in 48 cases, replacement or partial resection of superior vena cava in 25 cases, partial resection of pulmonary conus in 3 cases, and lober replantation in 4 cases respectively. There was no perioperative death, and the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10 year survival rate was 72.68%, 55.20%, 28.62% and 20.36% respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Cardiovascular plasty in the surgical treatment of locally advanced lung cancer invading heart or great vessels can remarkably increase the long-term survival and improve the life quality of the patients.</p>
