RESUMEN
In this study,we collected the prescriptions of Professor Liu Fengbin used for the out-patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS),counted the usage frequency of the herbs and core-combination herbs in the prescriptions,analyzed the medication principles of Professor Liu Fengbin,and mined the new recipes for IBS by the methods of association rule mining and complex system entropy clustering presented in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System.The results showed that Professor Liu is experienced in treating IBS based on liver-spleen differentiation,mainly applying the therapies of invigorating spleen and replenishing qi,soothing liver and regulating qi,also using the methods of resolving dampness,alleviating depression,relieving pain and activating blood,and prescribing the basic recipe of Chai Shao Sijunzi Decoction.The medication principles of Professor Liu Fengbin for the treatment of IBS will be beneficial to the further exploration of the syndrome pattern distribution of IBS and new recipes for IBS.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of acupuncture as an adjuvant therapy for acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods We retrieved the databases ofCNKI,VIP,Wanfang,PubMed,EMBase,and Cochrane Library,selected the relevant randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of AP treated with routine western medicine as control group and treated with routine western medicine combined with acupuncture therapy as trial group.And then,the quality of the qualified RCTs was evaluated,and the end-point outcomes of the RCTs were analyzed by Meta-analysis.Results A total of 7 RCTs involving 371 AP patients were included into the analysis.The time for abdominal pain relief(WMD =-1.44;95％CI:-2.38,-0.50),time for abdominal distension relief (WMD =-2.50;5％CI:-4.07,-0.73),time for the restart of anal exhaust(WMD =-1.79;95％CI:-3.73,-0.14),time for defecation (WMD =-1.95;95％CI:-3.51,-0.39),time for the restart of bowel sound(WMD =-1.39;95％CI:-2.44,-0.34),time for blood amylase becoming normal(WMD =-2.09;95％CI:-3.22,-0.96),and hospitalization time (WMD =-3.70;95％CI:-6.04,-1.36) in the trial group were less than those in the control group,and the differences of the above indexes except for the time for the restart of anal exhaust were significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture as an adjuvant therapy is effective for improving the gastrointestinal function of AP patients,and shortening time for blood amylase becoming normal and hospitalization time.However,due to the low methodological quality,more well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the therapeutic effect of acupuncture therapy for AP.
