ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of R-MAD (rituximab, methotrexate, cytarabine, dexamethasone) regimen in the treatment of primary ocular adnexal double-expression diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinical data of an elderly patient with primary ocular adnexal double-expression DLBCL who was treated with R-MAD regimen in June 2019 in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital was retrospectively analyzed. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment, prognosis were also analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patients was a 71-year-old male. After initial treatment of R-CHOP chemotherapy, the patient's eye mass did not shrink, the swelling and pain became worse, the curative effect was not good, and the disease progression continued. After the patient was given R-MAD chemotherapy for 3 courses, the eye swelling subsided and pain symptoms were significantly improved, satisfactory results were obtained, and no obvious adverse reactions occurred.Conclusions:R-MAD regimen has an ideal effect on the patient with primary ocular adnexal double-expression DLBCL, which can significantly improve symptoms, delay disease progression, and improve the quality of life of patients, but the prognosis still needs to be followed up in the long-term.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Gastrodin acupoint injection in treating depression.Method Eighty depression patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group was by gastrodin acupoint injection plus medication, while the control group was by acupuncture plus medication. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) was observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared. Result Respectively after 2 and 3 treatment courses, the HAMD scores were significantly different from that before intervention in both groups (P<0.05). Respectively after 1, 2, and 3 treatment courses, the HAMD scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 70.0% and 100.0% in the treatment group, versus 45.0% and 90.0% in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Gastrodin acupoint injection is an effective approach in treating depression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of long-snake moxibustion in treating asthma due to deficiency of lung and spleen. Method Seventy patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was intervened by using long-snake moxibustion, while the control group was by regular acupuncture treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 1-month treatment. Result In the treatment group, 22 subjects showed marked efficacy, 27 showed effective, 6 failed, and the total effective rate was 89.1%; in the control group, 18 subjects showed marked efficacy, 25 showed effective, 12 failed, and the total effective rate was 78.2%. The therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the acupuncture group(P＜0.05). Conclusion Long-snake moxibustion can produce a higher therapeutic efficacy than regular acupuncture in treating asthma due to deficiency of lung and spleen.
