ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of suspended moxibustion plus Chinese medication in treating icteric hepatitis. Method Ninety-two patients with icteric hepatitis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 46 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by suspended moxibustion plus oral administration of Chinese medication for supplementing yang, tonifying spleen, expelling dampness, and activating blood circulation;the control group was intervened only by the same Chinese medication. The symptom and sign score, and liver function items including TBil and ALT were observed, and the clinical efficacy was compared. Result The symptom and sign scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.05). After intervention, there was a significant difference in comparing the symptom and sign score between the two groups (P<0.05). The TBil and ALT levels were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 87.0%and 95.7%in the treatment group versus 76.1%and 82.6%in the control group, and the inter-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Suspended moxibustion plus Chinese medication is an effective method in treating icteric hepatitis.
ABSTRACT
0.05),but the decrease of 2-hour postprandial blood glucose level and the increase of ISI in group A were superior to those in group B (P0.05).For the therapeutic effect,11 patients were cured,24 markedly effective,22 effective,13 ineffective and the total effective rate was 81.43% in group A;5 patients were cured,6 markedly effective,11 effective,13 ineffective and the total effective rate was 62.86% in group B.No obvious toxic and side effects were observed in the two groups during the treatment.【Conclusion】Yang-warming and spleen-strengthening therapy combined with antihyperglycemic drugs exerts a better effect on the treatment of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.
