ABSTRACT
Objective To explore pathogenes and pathogenesis of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) from the perspective of integrated traditional and western medicine.Methods To categorize the tongue and pulse manifestation of 64 ACI patients and calculate their frequency,constituent ratios.Meanwhile,patients' blood pressure and laboratory examination results are given descriptive and statistical analysis,showing their means and standard deviations,etc.Results The frequency of dark-red tongue,thin-greasy tongue fur,greasy-yellow tongue fur and taut-slippery is respectively 48,34,20,and 41,constituting 77.4％,54.8％,32.3％,64.1％ of the patients examined respectively; Mean and standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (SBP),total cholesterol (TC),white blood cell (WBC),neutrophil percentage (NEUT％),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is respectively (141.20± 19.20)mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)、(4.47±0.97) mmol/L、(7.83±2.63) × 109/L、(71.61±9.65)％、(6.16±2.25)mmol/L、and (6.60±1.66)％.Conclusion In terms of pathogens,wind,stasis,heat (fire) and turbid pathogen (phlegm,dampness,etc.) are important factors in bringing out ACI; In respect of ACI pathogenesis characteristics,healthy qi is slightly damaged and pathogenic qi is exuberant.Yet,the role of modern medical examination results,such as blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipids etc.in the assessment of ACI pathogens and pathogenesis awaits further exploration.
ABSTRACT
Objective: In order to observe the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture plus ear point-sticking for simple obesity. Methods: Fifty-two cases of the patients with simple obesity were treated by acupuncture and ear point-sticking method for one course. Results:After the treatments, the results showed remarkable effect in 22 cases, effect in 25 cases and failure in 5 cases, and the total effective rate was 90.4%. There was no obvious change in various indexes of the body in the male and female patients before and after the treatment.Conclusion: Acupuncture plus ear point-sticking for simple obesity is stable in the therapeutic effect, simple and safe in application, without side effects, and cheap in cost and needs to be greatly popularized.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】To observe the influence of medicated diet with spleen-invigorating and phlegm-removing herbs on the therapeutic effect of acupuncture for simple obesity.【Methods】Ninety-six female simple obesity patients with phlegm-damp retention in the interior due to spleen deficiency were equally randomized into two groups by simple random method.Groups A(n=48)and B(n=48)were given dietary control,acupuncture on acupoints of Zusanli(ST36),Pishu(BL20) and Feishu(BL13),and catgutembedment(CE)in auricular points of spleen,stomach and tri-energizer.Group A additionally took a medicated diet for invigorating Qi and strengthening spleen,removing phlegm and draining damp.After one-month treatment,body weight,index of body weight and height were measured,and serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein(LDL)and high-density lipoprotein(HDL)were determined.【Results】Body weight,index of body weight and height,and blood lipid levels were decreased in groups A and B after treatment(P
