ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the rationality of medical order in oncology department of our hospital and analyze the intervention effect of clinical pharmacist.Methods:Totally 180 medical orders in oncology department of our hospital from January to June in 2013 were selected as the pre-intervention group,and those with the same number from January to June in 2014 were selected as the post-intervention group.The rationality of medical orders including drug selection,administration routes,usage and dosage was investigated and compared between the groups. Results:The unreasonable rate was 41.11% before the intervention and 8.33% after the intervention with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The irrational drug use included inappropriate indications,usage and dosage,improper drug replacement and combination,and inappropriate adjuvant drug use.Conclusion:Irrational drug use in oncology department can be significantly reduced and the level of rational drug use can be improved through the intervention of clinical pharmacist.
ABSTRACT
Purpose:To prove that electroacupuncture pudendal nerve stimulation(EPNS)can exactly excites the pudendal nerve.by simultaneous measurements of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) movements(perineal ultrasound),vaginal pressure and pelvic floor surface myoelectricity.Methods:Long needles(acupuncture needles)were deeply inserted into four sacral points and electrifled to stimulate the Pudendal nerves.When EPNS Was performed.perineal ultrasound B-mode images of PFM movements(contractions),M-mode PFM movement curves;vaginal pressure and pelvic floor surface electromyogram were recorded simultaneously by use of an urodynamic instrument with video suite(Medtronic Duet Encompass).Simultaneous records were also obmined under three conditions in the process of the nerve stimulation:1) pausing electric stimulation;2)reducing the intensity of electric stimulation(to about 2/7 of the original);3)drawing back the two lower needles to make the tips 1-2 cm away from the original position.Results:Thirty-five female patients with stress incontinence(aged 54.9±9.81 received EPNS and the simultaneous measurements.When EPNS was performed correctly,the patient felt rhythmic and cephalad PFM contractions with the urethra as the center.Simultaneous records showed the following:1) cranio-caudal PFM movements on the B.mode image;2)the M-mode curves indicating the PFM contractions (amplitude:about 1 mm,n=31,14 cases≥1 mm and 17 cases<1 mm);3)A sawtooth curve of changes in vaginal pressure[amplitude:2.61±1.69(0.7-5.6)cmH2O,n=34];4)pelvic floor myoelectric waves[amplitude:23.9±25.3(5-96)μV,n=34].The amplitude of a PFM movement curve conformed basically to that of a vaginal pressure curve.If the electric current was stopped or its intensity was reduced to about 2/7 of the original or during the process of the nerve stimulation the two lower needles were gradually drawn back until the tips were 1-2 cm away from the original positions,then B-mode PFM movements,M-mode curves and sawtooth changes in vaginal pressure disappeared.Conclusion:Electroacupuncture pudendal nerve stimulation can exactly excites the pudendal nerve and effectively contract the pelvic floor muscles.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To make a retrospective control study of the curative effects of Four sacral needles method and conventional acupuncture therapy on female stress incontinence. Methods:A treatment group was treated by Four sacral needles method, in which four sacral points were electroacupunctured with special insertion of needles to excite the pudendal nerve and induce the rhythmic contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, thereby increasing the strength of the pelvic floor muscles and improving ability in urinary continence. A control group was treated by conventional acupuncture therapy, in which corresponding points were acupunctured according to syndrome-based classification. Results: In the 31 cases of the treatment group treated by Four sacral needlesmethod, 100% symptom improvement occurred in 22(71.0% )after an average of 21 treatments (3-63treatments). In the 34 cases of the control group treated by conventional acupuncture therapy, 100%symptom improvement occurred in 0 after 30 treatments. The curative effect was better in the treatment group than in the control group(p< 0.01).The curative effect improved with an increase in the number of treatments in the treatment group. Conclusion: Four sacral needles method is more effective than conventional acupuncture therapy in treating female stress incontinence.
ABSTRACT
To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) treated by needling combined with drug, 104 patients with DPN were randomly divided into acupuncture plus drug group and control group, and each group had 52 patients. After treatment of two months, the clinical effective rate in acupuncture plus drug group was 51.9%, and the total effective rate was 88.5%, both of them were better than those in control group (P<0.05). The needling method of nourishing the kidney and dredging the meridian combined with drug had good clinic effect in the treatment of DPN.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To observe the curative effect of special acupuncture techniques on female urethral syndrome and its relationship with the course of treatment.Method Four abdominal and four sacral empirical points were acupunctured with special techniques and electricity. A difference in curative effect was investigated between different numbers of treatments. Results The clinical cure rate reached 15.2% just after ≤ 10 (7.3 ± 1.3) treatments. The curative effect was significantly better after 20-40 (32.1 ± 5.8) treatments than after ≤ 10 (7.3± 1.3) treatments (χ2 = 10.086, P <0.05). The clinical cure rate reached 43.5% in the former. Conclusion Special acupuncture techniques have a good clinical effect on female urethral syndrome. The curative effect improves with an increase in the number of treatments.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To observe the effect of acupuncturing different points on unstable bladder. Method Fifty-one patients of unstable bladder were divided randomly into Shu-point group, Mu-point group, He-point group,observe the change of symptom score and urodynamics.Results Puncturing these points can improve the symptom score and urodynamics, but the different points can get different effect, and the effect of Sbu-point and Hepoint is superior to that of Mu-point, Conclusion The different points of bladder have different adjusting function and that function relates with nerves locating in points.
