ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the traditional Chinese medicine massage in breasts joint French PHENIX-USB4 neuromuscular stimulation electrical stimulation therapy treatment of postpartum milk siltation,and provide the basis for clinical.Methods 120 patients with a diagnosis of milk deposition were selected according to random number table method,who were divided into control group and observation group,with 60 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were administrated with the traditional hot compress and breast massage technique treatment, and the patients in the observation group were administrated with low frequency pulse electrical stimulation treatment based on that in the control group,the clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared.Results The therapy efficacy rate of the observation group was 100.0%,which was significantly higher than 80.0%of control group(χ2 =16.51, P 0.78).The case of mild pain in the observation group was significantly more than that in the control group (χ2 =40.98,P <0.05).The cases of moderate pain and severe pain in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group (χ2 =4.48,10.21,all P <0.05);After treatment of milk deposition for 1 day,2 days and 3 days,the milk siltation in the observation group were significantly lighter than those in the control group (χ2 =31.58,23.52,37.33,all P <0.05).Conclusion Breast massage of traditional Chinese medicine combined with low -frequency pulse electrical stimulation of acupuncture treatment of postpartum maternal milk deposition has the very good curative effect,the treatment is relatively simple,which is easy to operate,safe,noninvasive,relatively low incidence of adverse reactions,it can enhance the confidence of breastfeeding,and is worth of clinical promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the inhibitory effects of pulsed electrical stimulation at different low frequencies on B16-F10 melanoma, and evaluate its influence on the structure and function of heart in mice. Methods BALB/C mice were inoculation with melanoma cell B16F10 to reproduce melanoma. These mice were randomly divided into four groups: rats in three treatment groups received of pulsed electrical stimulation of 10, 20Hz and 25Hz respectively, with a 1-ms pulse width, field strength of 20 V/cm, and duration of 30 min/d, and no electrical stimulation was given to the control group (10 each). ECG change in each group was recorded. Seven days later, tumor volume and survival rate were recorded. The changes in tumor and myocardial morphology were examined using HE staining. The expression of S-100B protein in tumor was assessed by immunohistochemical method. The serum levels of troponin T (cTnT) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) were determined by ELISA. Results After being treated with pulsed electrical stimulation for 15 days, tumor volume in 10, 20Hz and 25Hz group (463.0 ± 33.0, 248.6 ± 34.6, 29.9 ± 15.9mm, respectively), was significantly smaller than that in control group (2027.0 ± 133.4mm, P0.05). Conclusions Low-frequency pulsed electrical stimulation has a suppressive effect on the growth of B16F10 melanoma in mice, and the pulsed electric stimulation at 20 V/cm, 20 Hz and 1 ms are proved to be the most effective in suppressing the growth of tumor without affecting the normal electrical activity in mice or causing myocardial damage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical effect on cervicogenic headache (CEH) of pulsed radiofrequency stimulation (PRF) applied to the C2 dorsal root ganglion combined with nerve block.Methods A total of 78 cases diagnosed as CEH were randomly divided into a combined treatment group,a PRF treatment group and a nerve block group.The combined treatment group was given both PRF applied to the C2 dorsal root ganglion and blocking therapy.The other two groups were given only one treatment or the other.All the treatments were once weekly for 3 weeks.Before treatment and 1,3 and 6 months after treatment,all of the patients' headaches were evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS).Results At 1,3 and 6 months after treatment,the average VAS scores of all three groups had decreased significantly.The VAS ratings dropped the most in the combined treatment group,followed by the PRF group and then the nerve block group.All the intergroup differences were statistically significant.The combined treatment group's cure rate (88％) was significantly better than that of the PRF group (81％),which was significantly better than that of the nerve block group (54％).Conclusion Combining PRF applied to the C2dorsal root ganglion with nerve block therapy has a synergistic effect on CEH.The curative effect of the combined treatment was better than either PRF or blocking alone.
