RESUMO
To explore the bridge role of Jingming (BL 1) for video display terminal (VDT) asthenopia and brainfag. Ancient literature and modern scientific research on the acupoint have been analyzed and summarized so as to explore pressing the acupoint the instinct feedback of brain after asthenopia. It is demonstrated that Jingming (BL 1) is a key channel between eyes, brain and the outside world, and it is one of major feedback points of brain after asthenopia. In this paper we try to establish a new research thinking and ascertain it, namely Jingming (BL 1) reflecting the relationship between asthenopia and brainfag. We hope that it can provide some references for further research on cognizing brain through eye.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Chinese medicine therapy is effective for patients with mild-to-moderate lumbar spinal stenosis and also has a better long-term effect than surgical patients, which can enhance perioperative efficacy and prevent spinal restenosis. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of “Tongmai songjin yigu” massage therapy on lumbar spinal stenosis. METHODS:Eighty-four patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis were randomly and equaly divided into treatment group and control group. Treatment group were treated with “Tongmai songjin yigu” massage therapy; patients in the control group were treated according to the guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of common disease in orthopedics and traumatology promulgated by China Association of Chinese Medicine, once a day, continuous for 2 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment, the visual analog scale score in the treatment group was improved significantly (P < 0.05), and there was a significant difference in the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores on subjective symptom and daily life between the treatment and control groups (P < 0.05). The effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P< 0.05). These findings indicate that “Tongmai songjin yigu” massage therapy is better than traditional massage, but clinical large-sample studies are required.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of abdominal kneading massage in treating chronic superficial gastritis. Methods Forty-six cases of chronic superficial gastritis were randomly divided into test group and control group, 23 cases in each group. The patients of the test group were treated by the abdominal kneading massage, once a day, 7 times for a course of treatment, and the treatment lasted 2 courses. The patients of the control group took the western medicine Domperidone tablets orally, 10 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 2 continuous weeks. After treatment, we compared the clinical efficacy on syndromes and gastroscopy detection results in both groups. Results ( 1) After treatment, the scores of syndromes were decreased in both groups ( P<0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the decrease was more obvious in the test group ( P<0.05 compared with the control group). ( 2) The total efficiency of test group was 91.30%, and that of the control group was 60.87%, the difference being significant ( P<0.01). ( 3) The results of gastroscopy showed that the relief of the gastritis lesions of the test group was significantly better than that in the control group, and the difference was significant ( P < 0.01). Conclusion Abdominal kneading massage can effectively relieve the symptom and gastric mucosa inflammatory manifestations of the chronic superficial gastritis patients, and this treatment can be recommended in clinical application.
