ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of modified Xuefu-Zhuyu decoction in the treatment of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).Methods A total of 87 patients with NAION who met the inclusion criteria were divided into control group (43 cases) and study group (44 cases) by the random number table method.The control group was given the routine treatment combined with compound anisodine injection,while the study group was treated with routine treatment combined with modified Xuefu-Zhuyu decoction.Both groups were treated for 28 days.The standard logarithmic visual acuity chart was used to detect and record the best corrected visual acuity.The Visual field photosensitivity and visual field defect was recorded by visual field program(Oc-topus-101).The systolic peak blood flow velocity (PSV),end diastolic velocity (EDV),resistance index (RI) of the posterior ciliary short artery were measured by color Doppler ultrasound.The clinical effect was evaluated.Results The total effective rate was 97.7％ (43/44) in the study group and 76.7％ (33/43) in the control group.There were significant differences between the two groups (x2=8.669,P=0.003).After treatment,the best corrected visual acuity (0.85 ± 0.21 vs.0.72 ± 0.32,t=2.245),visual field photosensitivity (18.71 ± 4.79 φ/db vs.16.32 ± 5.22 φ/db,t=2.226) in the study group was significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05);the visual field defect (6.06 ± 1.52 φ/db vs.8.13 ± 2.43 φ/db,t=4.775) in the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05);the PSV (10.03 ± 1.79 cm/s vs.8.85 ± 1.88 cm/s,t=2.999),EDV (3.06 ± 0.37 crn/s vs.2.67 ± 0.31 cm/s,t=5.323) in the study group was significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05),RI (0.61 ± 0.08 vs.0.69 ± 0.09,t=4.385) in the study group was significantly lower than that of control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions The modified Xuefu-Zhuyu decoction combined with conventional medicine can effectively improve the hemodynamics and visual function of posterior ciliary short artery in NAION patients and improve the clinical efficacy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of Xuefu-Zhuyu decoction combined with interactive acupuncture and ibuprofen sustained-release capsule in the treatment of acute lumbar sprain. Methods A total of 102 patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomly divided into two groups, 51 in each group.The control group received ibuprofen sustained-release capsules orally. The study group was treated with Xuefu-Zhuyu decoction combined with interactive acupuncture on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. The degree of low back pain was assessed by VAS and the improvement of lumbar function was assessed by modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores (M-JOA). The Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) was used to evaluate the degree of lumbar dysfunction. The serum hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-10 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) level was detected by ELISA. The clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total effective rate was 80.4% (41/51) in the study group and 62.8% (32/51) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=3.903, P=0.048). After treatment, the VAS (1.85 ± 0.40 vs. 4.06 ± 0.67, t=20.226), M-JOA (4.41 ± 1.35 vs. 11.18 ± 2.25, t=18.426), and ODI (9.66 ± 3.34 vs. 16.37 ± 3.64, t=9.700) in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The serum level of hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-10 and PGE2 in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment (t were 6.694, 8.416, 22.110 and 12.137, respectively, all P s<0.01). Conclusions The Xuefu-Zhuyu decoction combined with interactive acupuncture and ibuprofen sustained-release capsule can improve the degree of lumbago and lumbar dysfunction in patients with acute lumbar sprain, reduce the level of serum inflammatory cytokines, and improve the clinical efficacy.
