ABSTRACT
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) non-drug therapy for gastroesophageal reflux mainly includes appropriate TCM techniques, such as conventional acupuncture, moxibustion, fire needle, etc. Emotional therapy, such as regulating emotion, transforming the patient's spirit and change the state of qi, the five-element music therapy, etc; exercise therapy, such as Baduanjin and Zhanzhuang, can be used alone, or in combination, or in combination with oral administration of Chinese materia medica. By reducing the probability of esophageal sphincter relaxation, inhibiting gastric acid secretion, improving esophageal motility disorder, reducing visceral hypersensitivity, immune regulation and other effects, it can alleviate the symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn and pharyngeal discomfort, and help to improve the patients' anxiety, depression and other negative emotions. It has the characteristics of simplicity and fewer adverse reactions, at the same time, according to the patient's condition and compliance to choose the appropriate therapy. The mechanism of TCM non-drug therapy in the treatment of this disease needs to be further explored, so as to better guide clinical popularization and application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) non-drug therapy on all-cause mortality and 12-month readmission in patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:A total 824 patients aged (80±10) years with chronic heart failure admitted to 4 hospitals in Shanghai Pudong New Area from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively enrolled. Propensity score match (PSM) method was used and 602 patients (301 pairs) were successively matched into TCM non-drug group (study group) and control group. The basic information, comorbidities, medication, laboratory test results, imaging findings, 12-month readmission and all-cause mortality after discharge were compared between two groups. Cox regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse events in patients with chronic heart failure.Results:After PSM there were no significant differences in baseline variables between study group and control group ( P>0.05). The one-year survival probability of the study group was higher than that of the control group ( P=0.013). The adverse event incidence rate [43.52% ( n=131) vs. 53.82% ( n=162)], all-cause mortality [15.61% ( n=47) vs. 23.59% ( n=71)], 3-month readmission [10.96% ( n=33) vs. 17.61% ( n=53)], 6-month readmission [16.90% ( n=51) vs. 24.25% ( n=73s)], cardiac function classification, hs-CRP and NT-proBNP levels in study group were significantly lower than those in control group (all P<0.05). The Cox proportional risk model showed that old age ( RR=1.018, P<0.01), decreased cardiac function ( RR=2.200, P<0.01), diabetes ( RR=1.340, P=0.04), NT-proBNP≥7 900 ng/L( RR=1.557, P=0.01) were risk factors, while TCM non-drug therapy ( RR=0.768, P=0.04) was protective factor for the occurrence of adverse events. Conclusion:TCM non-drug therapy has a protective role for the occurrence of adverse events in patients with chronic heart failure. The use of TCM non-drug therapy should be advocated to improve the prognosis of patients, particularly at grassroots level.
ABSTRACT
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuro developmental disorders in childhood.The main symptoms of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, etc.ADHD causes lots of adverse effects on patients, families and the society.Currently, medication is a common treatment for ADHD.However, due to a series of adverse effects caused by drug treatment, and some concomitant problems, the effect of drug treatment alone is not ideal.Therefore, non-drug treatment of ADHD is becoming popular.This study aims to review the common non-drug treatment methods and efficacy of ADHD at home and abroad.
ABSTRACT
Cupping therapy has been accepted worldwide, and many studies have been conducted to reveal its curative effects and mechanisms. To comprehensively evaluate the effect of cupping therapy, database including China Network Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journal Database VIP, Wan Fang Database, Chinese Biomedicine (CBM), PubMed and Web of Science were searched from 2009-2019. We summarized all the meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, clinical trials and the mechanisms studies of cupping therapy in the previous 10 years, hoping to provide a reference for the clinical applications and studies.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discover the treatment rules of rhinitis and its complications with or without Chinese and Western drugs using the text mining technology. Methods The treatment rules of rhinitis and its complication were discovered using Chinese text words, data cleaning, word frequency and correlation analysis respectively with CNKI-covered papers and doctors-patients interactive forum data as the sources. Results The rhinitis received Western drug therapy, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, traditional Chinese medicine preparation therapy and non-drug therapy respectively . Xanthium was often used as a folk prescription for rhinitis, Jade Screen Powder was used as an important traditional Chinese medicine reparation for rhinitis, acu-puncture and massage were used as non-drug therapies for rhinitis, immune therapy and desensitization therapy were recommended, normal saline was usually used as an adju-vant therapy. Combined traditional Chinese medicine and Western drug therapy was advised at present. The incidence of nasosinusitis was the highest, followed by that of trachi-tis, pharyngitis, tympanitis, pneumonia, etc. Their symp-toms were different and were thus treated with different drugs. Conclusion The treatment rules of rhinitis and its complication can provide reference for drug selection and basic research, verify the usability of medical network da-ta and the feasibility of text mining.
