RESUMO
Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of resuscitation-inducing acupuncture for post-stroke dysphasia. Methods The randomized controlled trials ( RCTs) of resuscitation-inducing acupuncture for post-stroke dysphasia were searched in the domestic and overseas databases such as CBM, CNKI, Weipu VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase and the Cochrane Library ( from the founded date to December of 2014) . Literature screening, information extracting and literature quality assessment were done by 2 reviewers independently. RevMan5.3.0 software was used for Meta analysis. Results A total of 8 RCTs were included into the analysis, involving in 766 cases. The results of Meta analysis showed:( 1) for patients in the recovery stage of stroke, 4-week resuscitation-inducing acupuncture combined with routine treatment including internal medicine plus swallowing function training or not had better efficiency than the control group without resuscitation-inducing acupuncture (P<0.001) ; (2) for patients in the acute stage, the difference of efficiency between the combination group and the control group was insignificant (P=0.05); (3) The efficiency of resuscitation-inducing acupuncture combined with routine treatment for the complication of pulmonary infection stayed uncertain. Conclusion Resuscitation-inducing acupuncture combined with routine treatment is recommended to the patients with dysphasia in the recovery stage of recovery. But the cure time window, treatment course and effectiveness evaluation still need to be confirmed by more large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of Jiaotai Pills ( JP) on hypothalamic neurotransmitters of Orexin A and gamma-aminobutyric acid ( GABA) in rapid eye movement ( REM) sleep deprivation rats. Methods Rat model of REM-sleep deprivation was established by water small platform method. The rats were randomized into 6 groups, namely normal control group, model group, Diazepam group (3 mg/kg), and high-, medium-and low-dose JP groups ( JP in the dosage of 18.6, 9.3 and 4.6 g/kg respectively) . Enzyme-labeled instrument was used to detect the absorbance ratio of rat hypothalamic Orexin A content, and high performance liquid phase electrochemical detection method was adopted for the detection of hypothalamic GABA content. Results Compared with the normal control group, all of the rats in the model group suffered from insomnia, and the Orexin A content was increased ( P0.05) . Conclusion The sedative and hypnic mechanism of JP is probably related with the inhibition of hypothalamic Orexin A.
