ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the efficacy of stage treatment with acupuncture plus intermediate frequency for Bell's palsy and its effect on serum NO content. Method By adopting a randomized controlled design, eighty eligible patients with Bell's palsy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The two groups both received acupuncture treatment in acute stage (within 1 week after the onset); in the remission stage (since 1 week after the onset), electroacupuncture apparatus was added for the control group, and intermediate frequency was given to the treatment group in addition to the intervention for the control group. The House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve grading system and serum NO content were observed before and after the treatment. Result The H-B facial nerve grading was improved after the intervention in both groups; the total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 82.5% in the control group (P<0.05); the serum content of NO was significantly improved after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), while the increase in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In treating Bell's palsy, stage treatment with Acupuncture plus intermediate frequency can effectively restore facial nerve function, significantly enhance clinical efficacy and shorten treatment duration. This disease is closely related to the content of serum NO, and the benign regulation on serum NO content is possibly the mechanism of acupuncture in treating facial paralysis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of fasudil in heart failure induced by chronic pneumocardial disease and the influence in serum level of NO and ET-1.Methods 100 cases of patients with heart failure induced by chronic pneumocardial disease in our hospital from September 2013 to September 2016 were selected and divided into observation group and control group,50 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were treated with conventional therapy,and in the observation group were treated with fasudil based on the conventional therapy.Compared the clinical effect,blood oxygen partial pressure (PaO2),CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2),tricuspid regurgitation speed,fight ventricular outflow tract inside diameter(RVOT),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and serum biochemical indexes (NO and ET-1) levels.Results After treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05).PaO2,LVEF,serum level of NO of the two groups were significantly higher,PaCO2,tricuspid regurgitation speed,RVOT,serum level of ET-1 significantly lower than before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),and the PaO2,LVEF,serum level of NO of observation group were significantly higher,PaCO2,tricuspid regurgitation speed,RVOT,serum level of ET-1 of observation group were significantly lower than control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Fasudil had remarkable clinical effect in heart failure induced by chronic pneumocardial disease,and improve the patient's clinical symptoms,adjust the serum level of NO and ET-1.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the changes of serum NO, TGF-β1, IL-10 and IL-17 Levels and study of the efficacy of Bismuth - containing quadruple and standard triple therapy for patients with Hp positive peptic ulcer. Methods 109 cases of peptic ulcer treated in our hospital were retrospectively selected, and Hp test was positive. According to different dosing regimen, the patients were divided into two groups. There were 54 patients in the control group, using standard triple therapy, and the regimen was lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and metronidazole. 55 patients in the study group were treated with bismuth-based western therapy with bismuth potassium citrate, rabeprazole, amoxicillin, and furazolidone. Two weeks after treatment were regarded as the observation period, and the levels of serum NO, TGF-β1, IL-10 and IL-17 in the two groups were compared before and after treatment. The effective rate of ulcer healing, Hp clearance rate and incidence of adverse reactions were compared. Results The level of serum NO, TGF-β1, IL-10 and IL-17 was significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05). The effective rates of ulcer healing and Hp clearance in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.05). There was no significant differences between the study group and the control group in the incidence of adverse reactions. Conclusion Western medicine with bismuth in the treatment of Hp peptic ulcer patients, the serum NO, TGF-β1, IL-10 and IL-17 levels of indicators have significantly improved, and has obvious advantages in clinical treatment, and it is a reasonable dosing regimen of high efficiency and low recurrence.
