ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of heat-producing needling (Shao Shan Huo) and cool-inducing needling (Tou Tian Liang) on the gait cycle after operation for gluteus contracture. Method Sixty-six patients after operation for gluteus contracture were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 33 in each group. The control group was intervened by rehabilitation, while the treatment group was by acupuncture in addition to the rehabilitation training. The topical points Zhibian (BL 54), Huantiao (GB 30), and Juliao (GB 29) were treated with reducing cool-inducing needling technique; Biguan (ST 31), Futu (ST 32), Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40), Xuehai (SP 10), Diji (SP 8), and Yanglingquan (GB 34) were treated with reinforcing heat-producing needling technique. The motor time parameters were observed before and after intervention.Result After intervention, the supporting phase of the affected side, supporting phase of the healthy side, gait cycle, swinging phase of the affected side, swinging phase of the healthy side, and bilateral supporting phase of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Heat-producing and cool-inducing needling techniques can effectively shorten the gait cycle after operation for gluteus contracture, and can improve the walk function.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus patent Chinese medicine in treating post-stroke constipation. ＜br> Methods: Sixty eligible patients with post-stroke constipation were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plusMa Zi Ren pill, while the control group was byMa Zi Ren pill alone. The symptoms of constipation were observed before and after intervention. ＜br> Results: After 2-week treatment, the constipation condition was improved in both groups, and the improvement in the treatment group was statistically more significant than that in the control group (P＜0.05); respectively two weeks and a month after the intervention, the treatment group was superior to the control group in comparing the constipation score (P＜0.05). However, acupuncture didn’t show marked effect in improving defecation speed, initial defecation time, and spontaneous discharge frequency. The treatment group had a significantly higher short-term markedly-effective rate compared with the control group (P＜0.05); the long-term therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05). The adverse events happened in the treatment group were significantly less than those in the control group (P＜0.05). ＜br> Conclusion: Acupuncture at specific acupoints plus patent Chinese medicine can produce a content therapeutic efficacy.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To establish a GC/MS method for determining the fingerprint of Jingu Tongxiao Pills.METHODS:GC/MS condition was comprised of column:DB-1(0.25 mm?30 m,0.25 ?m);injector temperature of 250 ?C;interface temperature of 250 ?C;column temperature of 70?C(1min)4?C/min→130?C(15min)1?C/min→150?C10?C/min→250?C(7min);carrier gas:He;column pressure:60 kPa;ionization souse:EI;detector volts:1.00 kV;mass range:41～350 aum.RESULTS:17 peaks existed on the GC/MS fingerprint of Jingu Tongxiao Pills.CONCLUSION:The method can provide more information for the quality control of Jingu Tongxiao Pills.
