ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of lung-clearing and spleen-strengthening tuina on exogenous cough in children. Methods: A total of 77 children with exogenous cough that met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the random number table, with 39 cases in the treatment group and 38 cases in the control group. The routine lung-clearing manipulation was used in the two groups, while the spleen- strengthening manipulation was added in the treatment group. Both groups were treated once a day, 5 times as a course of treatment. After one course of treatment, the symptom score and clinical efficacy were observed. Results: There were one dropout in the treatment group and 2 dropouts in the control group. Therefore, a total of 74 cases were finally included in the analysis, with 38 cases in the treatment group and 36 cases in the control group. After treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in cough score between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the score of poor appetite between the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was 89.5％ in the treatment group versus 75.0％ in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic efficacy of lung-clearing spleen-strengthening manipulation is better than that of lung-clearing tuina manipulation alone for children with exogenous cough; regulating spleen and stomach can improve the curative efficacy of exogenous cough in children.
ABSTRACT
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is an important pathogen of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children.Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a common lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in children.It accounts for 10-40％ of CAP in hospitalized children.This article discussed the correlation between MPP and windwarmth diseases in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from the similar epidemiological features and clinical manifestations such as long disease term and disease process.The treatment method of clearing lung heat and removing pathogenic factors received good curative effect in the clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of the method of clearing lung and descending stomach and its mechanism on gastroesophageal reflux cough(GERC).Method:125 cases of GERC were divided randomly into the treatment group(n=65) treated by the therapy of clearing lung and descending stomach(with a self-designed decoction) and the control group(n=60) treated with Omeprazole and Domperidone,and they were all treated for 12 weeks.Results:The total effective rate was 92.3% in the treatment group and 78.3% in the control group,with a significant difference between the two groups(P
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To observe the therapeutic effect of Qingfei Jianpi Decoction (QJD) for the treatment of acne vulgaris (AV) . [Methods] One hundred and five cases of AV were randomized into two groups: group A (n =64) was treated with QJD, a prescription medicine mainly composed of Herba Houttuyniae, Cortex Lycii, Cortex Moutan, Radix Scutellariae, Radix Fici Simplicissimae, Radix Flemingiae Philippinensis, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Poria, etc. , and group B (n=41) with tetracycline for 4 weeks. After treatment, the therapeutic effect, changes of facial lesion and signs, and side effects were observed. A 3-month follow-up was made for the cured patients to investigate the recurrence rate. [Results] Facial lesion and seborrheic degree were relieved in group A, the difference being significant as compared with those before treatment (P0.05 ) . The therapeutic effect was better in group A than that in group B (P
