ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy ofelectroacupunctureplustopical laser treatmentin treating hyperplasia of mammary glands.MethodFifty-eight patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands were randomized into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 28 cases. The treatment group was intervened byelectroacupunctureplustopical laser treatment, while the controlgroup was by oral administration of Ru Zeng Ning tablets. The intervention began from 15 d prior to the menstrual period. After 3 successive treatment courses, the clinical efficacies were compared, and the efficacies in treating three different patterns of mammary glands hyperplasia were also compared, i.e. qi-stagnation due to liver depression, accumulation of phlegm and stagnation, and imbalance of the Thoroughfare and Conception Vessels.ResultAccording to the comprehensive efficacy evaluation, the total effective rate was 86.7% in the treatment group versus 57.1% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P0.05).ConclusionElectroacupunctureplustopical laser treatmentis effective in treating hyperplasia of mammary glands, especially for the type of qi-stagnation due to liver depression.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore relation of TCM syndrome types in patient with sexual hormones of hyperplasia of mammary glands,so as to establish objective indexes of TCM syndrome types of hyperplasia of mammary glands.Methods:112 cases of hyperplasia of mammary glands were divided into 3 types:stagnation of liver-Qi,intermingled phlegm and blood stasis,disharmany of thoroughfare vessel and conception vessel.Level of estradiol(E_2),progestin(PT),testosterone(TT),prolactin(PRL),follicle- stimulating hormone(FSH)and luteotropic hormone(LH)during ovulatory period in the patients were determined.The relation of hormone level with TCM syndrome types was analyzed.Results:Level of LH and E_2 decreased,PRL and PT increased and level of TT and FSH did not significantly change during ovulatory period in the patient of hyperplasia of mammary glands.LH and E_2 level in the patients with stagnation of liver-Qi or intermingled phlegm and blood stasis was significantly lower than normal values,and the level of PRL and PT was significantly higher than that of normal values.The level of LH and E_2 was also lower than the normal value in the patient with disharmany of thoroughfare vessel and conception vessel,but the level of FSH was significantly higher than normal value.Conclusion:The patient of hyperplasia of mammary glands during ovulatory period manifests endocrine dysfunction,and the patients with different TCM syndrome are different in secretion of sexual hormones; Changes of sexual hormones can be used as objective indexes of TCM syndrome types and basis of clinical medicinal application.
