ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of red light irradiation therapy on postherpetic neuralgia and the improvement in the life quality of patients.Methods Ninety patients with postherpetic neuralgia diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2013 to August 2016 were randomly divided into red light irradiation group (n=45) and control group(n=45).The control group was given gabapentin 400 mg once daily for 14 days.On the basis of routine drug treatment, the red light irradiation group was treated with red light irradiation for 15-30 minutes, once daily for 10 days. The serum levels of interleukin(IL)-2,IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The intensity of pain was evaluated by VAS score,and the quality of life was assessed by DLQI. Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in serum levels of IL-2,IL-6 and IL-10 between two groups.After treatment,the serum levels of IL-2 and IL-10 were significantly higher in red light irradiation group than those of the control group(P<0.05),and the level of IL-6 was significantly lower in red light irradiation group than that of the control group(P<0.05).Before treatment,there was no significant difference in the VAS score between the two groups.After treatment,the VAS score was significantly lower in the red light irradiation group than that of the control group (P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in DLQI scores between the two groups.After treatment,the DLQI scores were significantly lower in the red light irradiation group than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of postherpetic neuralgia with red light irradiation can provide effective relief of pain and improve the life quality of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of red light irradiation on serum phosphorus reduction in hemodialysis.Methods Sixty maintenance hemodialysis patients were divided into treatment group and control group.During the hemodialysis,the blood in the extracorporeal circulation tube of the patents in the treatment group was irradiated with red light by a MRX-1 red light therapy system.The irradiation was continued for 60 minutes each time,and one course of the treatment contained 10 times of irradiations.Patients in the control group were subjected to hemodialysis by conventional methods.The serum phosphate levels of all patients were measured before and after the treatment.Results The symptoms of dialysis disequilibrium of the patients in the treatment group were alleviated.There was no significant difference in serum phosphate levels between the treatment group and the control group before hemodialysis,while a statistically significant difference was found after the treatment (P＜0.05).Conclusions Hemodialysis combined with red light irradiation on external blood trails can contribute to the decrease of serum phosphate levels in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of red light facial synthesis combined with comprehensive facial therapy on corticosteroid dependent dermatitis (hormone dependent dermatitis) and summarize the nursing strategies. Methods About 160 patients with hormone dependent dermatitis hospitalized in our hospital from June 2015 to March 2016, were equally divided into control group and study group:the control group was treated with conventional comprehensive therapy, while the study group with 30 min red light irradiation together with the nursing measures in the control group. The total symptom scores of the two groups were evaluated before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment. Results Before treatment, the total symptom scores of the control group were no significant difference between them (P>0.05). After treatment,the treatment effect of the study group was significantly better than that of the control group and the scores of ISS SSRI were lower than those of the control group . Conclusion The red light radiation combined with comprehensive facial therapy is effective in the treatment of corticosteroid dependent dermatitis and related nursing should be done well to promote patients relovery.
