ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the efficacy of Tuina combined hot compress in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).Methods:A total of 90 patients with LDH low back and leg pain in Shijiazhuang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2019 to June 2020 were divided into two groups, 45 in each group. The control group was treated with Aceclofenac Sustained-release Tablets and Mecobalamin, and the observation group was treated with Tuina combined hot compress. Both groups were treated for 1 month and followed up 6 months. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain. The Oswestry Dysfunction Index (ODI) was used to evaluate the recovery of lumbar function, and the improvement of daily activities of patients after treatment was evaluated. The conduction velocity of tibial nerve motor conduction velocity (TNMCV) and common peroneal nerve motor conduction velocity (CPNMCV) were measured by electromyography. The clinical effect was evaluated.Results:After 6 months of follow-up, the response rate of the observation group was 51.1% (23/45) and that of the control group was 28.9% (13/45) ( χ2=3.98, P=0.046). The VAS score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=11.26, P<0.01). The ODI scores at 1 month after treatment and 6 months after follow-up were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 7.19, 18.30, respectively, all Ps<0.001). The observation group 1 month after CPNMCV treatment and 6 months of follow-up ( t=2.08, 1.99), 1 month after TNMCV treatment and 6 months of follow-up ( t values were 2.46, 2.12, respectively) were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Tuina combined with hot compress can improve the nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs, relieve the symptoms of low back and leg pain in patients after LDH operation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Acupuncture and hot compress of traditional Chinese medicine therapy have good curative effect on degenerative diseases of the intervertebral disc; however, the combination effect of these two methods on the apoptosis of intervertebral disc cells remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Tongbi prescription hot compress combined with acupuncture on the mRNA expression of apoptosis-related genes, Caspase-3 and Bcl-2, in intervertebral disc cells in a rabbit model of cervical spondylosis. METHODS: Twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into normal group, model group, acupuncture group and combination treatment group, with six rabbits in each group. Except for the normal group, animal models of cervical spondylosis were established in the other three groups. After successful modeling, acupuncture treatment (30 minute once a day) and Tongbi Recipe hot compress combined with acupuncture therapy (30 minutes once a day) were done in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group, respectively. The cervical spine X-ray of each rabbit was taken and scored before modeling, at 30 days after molding as well as at the end of the treatment. The C3-4 and C4-5 intervertebral discs of each group were collected after treatment for 15 times. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the morphological changes of C3-4 discs, and real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 mRNA in C4-5 intervertebral discs. The study protocol was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Guizhou Medical University. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the cervical spine lesions in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group were significantly reduced, with a significant reduction in the X-ray scores (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between these treatment groups. The injury of intervertebral disc tissue and scores in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group were lower than those in the model group, and the score of the combination treatment group was significantly lower than that of the acupuncture group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of Casepase-3 mRNA decreased and the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA increased in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group, and the combination treatment group had lower Casepase-3 mRNA expression and higher Bcl-2 mRNA expression than the acupuncture group (P < 0.05). To conclude, Tongbi prescription hot compress combined with acupuncture therapy can delay the degeneration of intervertebral disc, and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of Bcl-2 mRNA expression and down-regulation of Casepase-3 mRNA expression.

ABSTRACT

Dry eye is a common ophthalmic disease caused by eye maladjustment due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which is often accompanied by symptoms such as increased tear film osmotic pressure and ocular surface inflammation. In the treatment of dry eye patients, dredging gland obstruction caused by meibomian gland secretion is an effective treatment method. Based on electrothermal effect and hyperelasticity of the silicone, an auxiliary treatment instrument for MGD is designed, which can improve the blood circulation of the glands through heat compress and massage to achieve the purpose of dredging the meibomian glands. The therapy device can display the temperature and pressure during the treatment in real time, so that the surgeon can grasp the progress of the treatment in real time. The therapy device constructs a user-oriented interactive interface based on parametric modeling method, which can be customized by 3D printing according to the user's eyeball geometric parameters. The designed therapeutic device was finally tested on New Zealand white rabbits. The experimental results show that the therapeutic device has significant effectiveness and safety, as well as clinical application prospects.

ABSTRACT

@#AIM: To compare the clinical curative effects of meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD)caused by evaporative dry eye by utilizing levofloxacin eye gel and Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment, respectively.<p>METHODS: The 180 cases(360 eyes)with dry eye(evaporative type)caused by confirmed meibomian gland dysfunction were randomly divided into two groups(<i>i.e.</i> A and B): In group A, 90 individuals with 180 eyes were treated with levofloxacin eye gel+ sodium hyaluronate eye solution; The other 90 cases in group B took Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment+ sodium hyaluronate eye drops for curing the MGD. In addition, the same comprehensive therapy were used to the MGD patients in groups A and B, after surface anesthesia on binoculus, secretion, obstructing meibomian gland secretions, were discharged by utilizing cotton stick to extrusion mass weekly and four times consecutive treatments were regard as a course of treatment. To remove residual the thin oil soften lipid in meibomian gland, heat can be applied to the eyelids with hot water(around 45℃)on towel for 15min and do that three times a day. After each hot compress, we use levofloxacin eye gel to the patients in group A by dropping into the conjunctival sac and apply to the root of the eyelid lashes. The group B of 90 patients were applied Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment to the root of the eyelid lashes. All patients were dripped odium eye drops eye into their eyes four times a day. <p>RESULTS: After treatment(<i>Z</i>= -0.64, <i>P</i>=0.524), there were no significant differences in clinical symptoms(<i>Z</i>= -1.37, <i>P</i>=0.171), secretion characteristics(<i>Z</i>= -1.06, <i>P</i>=0.288), tear film rupture time and tear secretion time between groups A and B(<i>P</i>>0.05). Corneal fluorescence staining score: group A(cured 83.3%, improved 11.1%, ineffective 5.6%)and group B(cured 55.6%, improved 27.8%, ineffective 16.7%). The therapeutic effect of group A was better than that of group B, with statistical significance(<i>Z</i>= -4.02, <i>P</i><0.001).<p>CONCLUSION: Physical therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction caused by evaporative dry eye is given priority, and medication is treated as adjunctive therapy. Generally, the patients can achieve totally anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, safe and stable, without side effects by using levofloxacin eye gel. However, the patients with worst condition and lingering illness should cured by Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment. In addition, statistical significant difference is not found between the two drugs on curative effects.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of Teng medicine combined with Gongyankang granules in the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease(CPID). METHODS:A total of 141 CPID outpatients were selected from our hospital during Jul. 2015-Jun.2016,other patients were divided into control group(65 cases)and observation group(76 cases)ac-cording to random number table. Control group was given Gongyankang granules 9 g orally,bid;observation group additionally re-ceived Teng medicine hot compress on lower abdomen for 30 min until it was cool,once a day,on the basis of control group. Both groups began the medication since third day after the menstrual period,for consecutive 20 d. TCM syndrome,local sign scores and clinical efficacies were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR and recur-rence were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in TCM syndrome scores or lo-cal sign scores between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,TCM syndrome scores and local sign scores of 2 groups were de-creased significantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Clinical total response of observation group were 92.11%,which were significantly higher than 70.77% of control group, rate recurrence rate of observation group were 2.99%,which were significantly under than 15.79% of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Teng medicine hot compress combined with Gongyankang granules show significant efficacy for CPID,can improve TCM syndrome and local sign and reduce recurrence rate with good safety.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the effect of waist hot-compress with the Shirexiao (SRX) pad on the expressions of Th17/Treg-specific factors in the prostatic tissue of the mouse model of experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP) with damp heat syndrome, and explore its possible action mechanisms.@*METHODS@#Twenty healthy male mice were included as normal controls and another 100 chosen for establishing the model of EAP with damp heat syndrome by subcutaneous injection of purified prostate protein solution from the Wistar rat and Freund's complete adjuvant using the TCM method. The model mice were randomly divided into five groups: model control, matrix, and low-, medium- and high-dose SRX. After chemical removal of the hair at lumbar vertebrae 1-3, the animals of the low-, medium- and high-dose SRX groups were treated with the SRX pad heated to 45℃ and externally applied to the non-hair area, qd, bid, and tid, respectively, 10 minutes each time, those of the matrix group with the vaseline pad, and those of the normal and model control groups with the saline pad. After 4 weeks of continuous treatment, all the mice were sacrificed for determination of the protein and mRNA expressions of RORγt and Foxp3 in the prostate tissue by Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR.@*RESULTS@#The symptoms, signs and pathological changes of the EAP model mice were similar to the manifestations of chronic prostatitis. After intervention, the protein and mRNA expressions of Foxp3 were significantly down-regulated while those of RORγt markedly up-regulated in the EAP model group as compared with the normal control (P 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The Shirexiao waist hot-compress therapy plays a positive role in the treatment of autoimmune prostatitis with damp heat syndrome by reducing the expression of RORγt, inhibiting the differentiation of Th17 and thus checking the differentiation imbalance of Th17/Treg.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical effect of salt-hot compress based on the theory of“Maiweiji”on mechanical phlebitis after PICC catheterization. Methods According to random number table, 202 patients after PICC catheterization were divided into the control group including 100 cases and the experimental group including 102 cases. The study were divided into the prevention stage and the treatment stage. In the prevention stage, the control group were given routine nursing while the experimental group were received routine nursing plus salt-hot compress. In the treatment stage, all the patients in mechanical phlebitis after the prevention stage were randomly divided into the group of salt-hot and the group of wet-hot by lottery, meanwhile, the group of salt-hot were given salt-hot compress, the group of wet-hot were received wet-hot compress. Results In the prevention stage, the mechanical phlebitis rate of the experimental group was 8.82%(9/102), and it was 21%(21/100) in the control group, the difference had statistically significant (Z=-2.28, P 0.05). Conclusions Salt-hot compress has the positive effect of preventing mechanical phlebitis. Besides, the therapeutic effect on mechanical phlebitis between the group of salt-hot and the group of wet-hot is about the same. Because of the simple operation, bargain price, being not contaminated clothing, salt-hot compress is more advantage.
