ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the onset of lower extremity venous thrombotic disease and seasons.Methods A retrospective study was conducted, 300 patients with lower extremity venous thrombotic disease admitted to HandanCity Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from August 2012 to February 2014 were enrolled, the incidences and TCM syndromes of patients with lower extremity venous thrombotic disease in different seasons were observed, and the pathogenesis and relationships between the types of TCM syndrome and seasons were analyzed.Results There were 142 patients with lower extremity superficial thrombophlebitis, and 158 cases with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, the incidence of lower extremity venous thrombotic disease in spring was significantly higher than that in summer and autumn [32.8% (86/262) vs. 21.3% (54/254), 18.4% (50/272), bothP 0.01); while the incidence of lower extremity venous thrombotic disease in winter was significant higher than those in summer and autumn (allP < 0.01). The incidences of damp and heat downward flow type in autumn and summer were increased compared with those in winter and spring [55.6% (30/54), 60.0% (30/50) vs. 20.0% (22/110), 23.3% (20/86), allP < 0.01], while the incidences of lower extremity venous thrombotic disease with damp heat and stasis syndrome in winter and spring were increased compared with those in summer and autumn seasons [80.0% (88/110), 76.7% (66/86) vs. 44.4% (24/54), 40.0% (20/50)].Conclusions The incidence of lower extremity venous thrombotic disease is related to seasons, and the onset is high in winter and spring, damp heat and stasis syndrome being the main type; according to different seasons, clinical treatment can direct to different pathogenic factors to adopt different preventive measures interfering with the patient's constitution in order to eliminate or reduce the risk factors, achieving the effect of the disease prevention.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of the operation and application value of encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein with electrocoagulation in the varicose veins of lower extremity.Methods 271 cases were divided into the research group(n=166)with encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein with electro-coagulation and the control group(n=105)with traditional encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein with electrocoagulation.The degrees of the venous reflux,velocities of blood flow,CEAP classification and clinical scoring of the two groups were compared.Results The research group was better than the control group on decrease in de- grees of the venous reflux.increase in velocities of blood flow and decrease in clinical scores(P<0.01).Conclu- sions The encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein with electrocoagulation is the desirable method in the treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremity.
