ABSTRACT
This article gives a profound exploration on the theoretical origin, prohibitions and mechanisms of moxibustion for heat syndrome. Based upon the ancient and modem literature, this article also gives a classified summarization on diseases of moxibustion for heat syndrome, in order to obtain a thorough understanding about the theory and clinical application of moxibustion for heat syndrome, hence to further perfect the theory of moxibustion and guide the clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To clinically observe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS) before and after cerebrovascular disease attacking and find prevention ways.Methods Seventy cases of berebrovascular patients were observed the OSAS status and the clinic data were collected in the mean time.Results We found 70% patients with snore and suffocation,89% with day drowse before attacking.After attacking,82% in-patient cases appeared different degree lower ventilation or apnea during 1～7d sleeping,which the average paroxysm frequency were 79 times per night and the average time were 72s per paroxysm.The therapeutic effects were good through different measures.Conclusion The active measures should be taken on OSAS after cerebrovascular disease attacking,which has a high frequency of OSAS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of different starting time of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) therapy on severe brain injury patients.Methods 60 cases of acute cerebral infarction patients were divided into 2 groups,namel 48 hours to 7 days group(group A) and 8 days to 15 days group(group B) after injury.Fugl-Meyer assemment and modified Barthel index were employed to assess the patients before and after HBO for 30 days in the 2 groups.Results After 30 days of HBO therapy the Fug-Meyer assemment and modified Barthel index in the A group were better than those of B group,there were significant differences between the 2 groups(P
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of chemotherapy assisted with shenqi fuzheng injection (SFI) on senile patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and twenty old patients with NSCLC were treated with NP chemotherapeutic protocol, to the 60 patients in the treated group among them, additional medication of SFI was started one week before the beginning of chemotherapy. The short-term therapeutic efficacy, long-term survival rate, changes on quality of life (QOL) and immune function of patients, and hematological toxicity of therapy were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Difference between the two groups on short-term therapeutic effect, 1- and 2-year survival rate showed no significance (P>0.05), but the 3-year survival rate in the treated group was 26.6%, while that in the control group was 11.7%, showed that the former was higher than the latter. After treatment QOL of the treated group was better than that of the control (P<0.05). Besides, the hematological toxicity and affection on immune function of chemotherapy after treatment in the treated group were all lower than those in the control group showing significant difference (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SFI has definite toxicity relieving effect on chemotherapy in treating senile NSCLC.</p>

Objective To search for the best method of improving clinical therapeutic effect of facial spasm.Methods The selected 76 cases of facial spasm were randomized into a subcutaneous catgut-embedding group(25 cases),an electroacupuncture control group(26 cases)and a carbamazepine control group(25 cases).Yingxiang(LI 20),Shenting(GV 24),Hegu(LI 4,healthy side),Zusanli(ST 36,bilateral),Shenmen(HT 7,bilateral),and Ashi(trigger point)were selected for catgut-embedding.The 5-0 medical catgut was embedded subcutaneously once a week.The same points were used for the electroacupuncture control group.The 1.5 cun needles were inserted.After arrival of qi,the electroacupuncture apparatus was used,dense wave,bearable intensity,30 minutes,once a day.The carbamazepine control group was treated with carbamazepine 0.1g,three times a day.The therapeutic effect was evaluated by the changes of severity and frequency of facial spasm.Results The severity and frequency of facial spasm significantly decreased in the subcutaneous catgut-embedding group,the difference was significant as compared with the other two groups(P
