Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Bushen Huoxue Shujin Decoction combined with thunder fire moxibustion in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome.Methods:Randomized controlled trial. A total of 200 lumbar intervertebral disc herniation patients from Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from January to December 2021 were selected as observation objects and the computer random method was used to divide 66 patients into combination group, 67 in the control group 1, and 67 in the control group 2. The Control group 1 was given conventional western medicine and thunder fire moxibustion, the control group 2 was given conventional western medicine and Bushen Huoxue Shujin Decoction, and the combined group was given conventional western medicine and Bushen Huoxue Shujin Decoction and thunder fire moxibustion. All the groups were treated with 14 days as a course of treatment, a total of 3 courses. TCM syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment, and lumbar joint activity was measured by using a muscle state testing analyzer; the levels of NF-κB, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) were determined by ELISA; adverse reactions during treatment were recorded and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the combination group was 92.42%(61/66), the control group 1 was 71.64% (48/67), and the control group 2 was 74.63% (50/67), with a statistically significant difference among the three groups ( χ2=10.28, P=0.006). After treatment, the scores of waist and leg pain, lumbar stiffness, lower limb numbness, and tongue dullness in the combination group were significantly lower than those in the control group 1 and control group 2 ( F values were 15.25, 12.21, 11.77, 14.49, respectively, P<0.01); the range of motion of lumbar joint forward flexion, backward extension, lateral flexion, and lateral rotation in the combination group were significantly greater than those in the control group 1 and control group 2 ( F values were 19.66, 29.50, 33.33, and 24.54, respectively, P<0.01); the levels of serum NF-κB [(41.29±5.91)ng/L vs. (49.97±5.98)ng/L, (50.92±6.02)ng/L, F=47.00], PGE2 [(67.09±8.08)ng/L vs. (80.22±9.92)ng/L, (78.17±9.09)ng/L, F=40.27], HIF-2α[(16.95±3.46) ng/L vs. (20.83±3.98)ng/L, (19.67±3.89)ng/L, F=18.38] in combination group were significantly lower than those in the control group 1 and control group 2 ( P<0.01). During the treatment period, the incidence of adverse reactions in the combination group was 15.15% (10/66), control group 1 was 8.96% (6/67), and control group 2 was 10.45% (7/67), there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups ( χ2=1.36, P=0.506). Conclusion:The combination of Bushen Huoxue Shujin Decoction and thunder fire moxibustion can improve the TCM syndrome and range of motion of patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors, improve clinical efficacy, and have good safety.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective@#To understand the early life factors that influence cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents, so as to provide effective measures to curb cardiometabolic risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes in children and adolescents.@*Methods@#Data were sourced from the 2020 follow up survey of the Xiamen Adolescent Development Cohort. The study involved 1 197 subjects for whom completed anthropometric examination and blood biochemistry testing data, as well as early life data. Early life and sociodemographic data were obtained through questionnaire surveys, while cardiometabolic indicator data were sourced through physical examinations and blood testing. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the impact of early life factors on the cardiometabolic risk factors after adjusting for gender, age, and family history.@*Results@#The prevalence rate of cardiometabolic risk factors clustering in children and adolescents in Xiamen was 17.96%, with boys (26.67%) reporting higher rates than girls (9.64%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=57.69, P <0.01). For every additional early life risk factor, the risk factors of obesity increased 0.35 times ( OR=1.35, 95%CI=1.03-1.78, P <0.05). Post term pregnancy may be a primary early life risk factors for cardiometabolic risk factors, and it was associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic risk factors clustering (OR=2.45, 95% CI =1.11-5.41) and high triglycerides ( OR=3.25, 95%CI =1.39-7.61)( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Increased cardiometabolic risk factors in youth is associated with early life adverse factors. It is crucial to pay greater attention to post term pregnancy as an early life factor and to consider obesity as a cardiometabolic risk factors. Controlling early life adverse factors is important for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
