ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Baixiao moxibustion combined with acupuncture in the treatment of patients with dysmenorrhea of cold coagulation and blood stasis.Methods:A total of 90 patients with dysmenorrhea of cold coagulation and blood stasis who were treated in Huangpu Branch of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and met the inclusion criteria were enrolled between January 2019 and January 2020, and they were divided into observation group (47 patients) and control group (43 patients) according to the random number table method. The control group was treated by acupuncture, while the observation group combined Baixiao moxibustion with acpuncture treatment. Both groups were treated for 3 menstrual cycles. Before and after treatment, TCM syndromes were scored, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain intensity, and uterine hemodynamics were detected by ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. The pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI) and ratio of peak systole/peak diastole (S/D) were recorded and the clinical efficacy was assessed.Results:The total effective rate was 97.87% (46/47) in observation group and that in control group was 81.40% (35/43), and the difference between two groups were significant ( χ2=6.77, P=0.009). After treatment, the scores of lower abdominal pain, dark blood clots, intolerance of cold and cold limbs and nausea and vomiting as well as VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=3.61, 5.60, 6.22, 8.02, 10.36, all Ps<0.01). After treatment, the RI (1.45±0.55 vs. 1.86±0.53, t=3.59), PI (0.61±0.14 vs. 0.77±0.13, t=5.60) and S/D (5.28±1.18 vs. 7.23±1.22, t=7.71) in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Baixiao moxibustion combined with acupuncture can relieve the pain symptoms, improve the TCM syndromes and promote the uterine blood circulation.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To primarily explore the academic features of generations of Shanghai Cai ’s gynecological school treating uterine bleeding. [Method] Through related records of “Jiangwan Cai’s Gynecology Summary”, “Proved Recipes of General Treatment”, and following-up teachers’clinic, make study on Cai’s gynecological school’s clinical experience in treating uterine bleeding in generations and summarize the features. [Result] Cai ’s gynecological school not only paid attention to Qi and blood, searching for the primary cause of disease in treatment, regulating Chong and Ren channels, with brisk drugs, and other whole academic features, but the successors of generations also integrated and made cutthrough in inheritance, absorbed new knowledge, continually made development with respective features. Such as:4th generation Yanxianggong cleared heat at first then made warm nourishment longer; 5th generation Xiaoxianggong mostly tonified Qi and Ying and regulated and stopped bleeding; the 7th Pro. Cai Xiaosun firstly differentiated Yin and Yang, mainly sought cause, then hemostasis, afterwards applied Cai ’s periodical therapy for regulating Chong and Ren, reestablishing menstrual circle;one of the 8th successors Huang Suying director mainly uses obstruction-removing therapy in treating blood-stasis uterine. [Conclusion] Cai’s gynecological school treating uterine has obvious features, with marked cure effect, worth research and study.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of external -rou te microsurgery for retinal detachment (RD). Methods In 36 patie nts (36 eyes) with single rhegmatogenous RD, the silica gel piece and/or bucklin g bands were preplaced, and drainage of subretinal fluid, retinal cryotherapy, e xamination of locating the holes, and intraocular injection of gas were performe d under surgical microscope. The surgical effects were compared with those of ot her simultaneous 37 patients with rhegmatogenous RD who underwent surgery under binocular indirect ophthalmscope. Results The simultaneous int raoperative observation of the fundus details and the sclera through the microsc ope was excellent in all cases. Under the surgical microscope, the reaction of r etinal cryotherapy was clearly visible without any serious surgical sequela. The observation of reaction of retinal cryotherapy and the orientation of the holes were not affected by mild opacity of the refractive media. Retinal reattachment was achieved in 31 eyes after the primary surgery and in 3 eyes after the secon dary surgery, with the final rate of reattachment of 94%. The best-corrected vi sual acuity was
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the histopathologic characteristic of the vitreous herniation out of sclerotomy site during vitrectomy. Methods Twenty specimens of tissues herniated at vitrectomy site were collected. The paraffin sections or fresh smears were stained with hematoxylineosin and examined under light microscope. The specimens were collected from the affected eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (9 cases), traumatic retinal detachment (1 case), miscellaneous vitreous hemorrhage (6 cases) and intraocular foreign body (4 cases). Results The herniated tissues were found to be retina in 4 cases, ciliary tissue in 1 case, retina and ciliary tissue in 1 case, uvea in 1 case,and hyaloid tissue in 13 cases. Conclusion There were not only vitreous, ciliary epithelial cells and pigment contained epithelia, but also ciliary body, retina and uvea in the prolapsed tissues of sclerotomy site, which might be related to the occurence of some clinical complications.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the treatment of retinal redetachment after vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade, METHODS: Investigating retrospectively on the treatment effect of 8 cases of redetachment of retina with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) in which the retinas had been attached formerly after vetrectomy and silicone oil tamponade opertion. The reoperative procedures included pars plana vitrectonly, membranes peeling, retinotomy, inner exchange of the fluid and silicone oil tamponade and subretinal membranes were removed out in 2 eyes. RESULTS: Six eyes had anatomical reattachment postoperatively and another 2 eyes still had inferior shallow retinal detachment. Visual acuity was improved in 6 patients and remained unchange in 2 patients. CON CLUSIONS: The cause of recurrent retinal detachment might be the formation of the proliferative epiretinal and subretinal membranes, and vitrectomy to release the traction of proliferative membranes and full fluid silicone oil exchange should do good to reattachment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the expression of the growth factors and the receptors related to angiogenesis in the intraocular tissues incarcerating in the sclerotomy sites. Methods Ten specimens from prolapsing intraocular tissues in sclerotomy sites during vitrectomy were obtained and serially sectioned in cryostate and were stained with a group of polyclonal antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), platelet derived growth factor A(PDGF A) and transforming growth factor ? 1(TGF ? 1) as well as their receptors by using a streptavidin peroxidase system. Results The tissues prolapsed from the sclerotomy sites were identified as retina(3 cases), vitreous tissues(3 cases), degenerated red blood cell components(2 cases), ciliary body(one case) and fibrous tissue(one case). All specimens expressed VEGF and bFGF as well as their receptors. PDGF A, TGF ?1 and their receptors expressed in the most of specimens. The positive cells included retinal cells, ciliary non pigmented epithelial cells and pigmented epithelial cells, fibrous cells and the cells in vitreous. Conclusions The intraocular tissues incarcerated in the sclerotomy entries express the growth factors and receptors related to angiogenesis. This might be one of the potential factors of developing anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
