ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of suspending-needle therapy combined with modified Zhengan Xifeng Decoction for the treatment of primary facial spasm,and to explore an effective traditional Chinese medicine therapy for primary facial spasm.Methods A total of 65 qualified patients were randomly divided into trial group (33 cases) and control group(32 cases),which was treated with suspending-needle therapy combined with modified Zhengan Xifeng Decoction,Carbamazepine tablets respectively.Twenty-eight days constituted one course of treatment.After treatment for one course,therapeutic efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the degree of facial spasm was assessed.Results (1) After one course of treatment,the markedly-effective rate of the trial group was 84.8％,and that of the control group was 62.5％,the difference being significant(P ＜ 0.05).(2) After treatment,the degree of facial spasm in the two groups was much improved as compared with that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01),and the improvement in the trial group was superior to that in the control group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Suspending-needle therapy combined with modified Zhengan Xifeng Decoction has better effect on relieving facial spasm of the primary facial spasm patients than Carbamazepine tablets.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the type of the rational digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy for gastric malignancy.Metlhods Three types of digestive reconstruction were performed after total gastrectomy in 121 cases with gastric carcinoma.The operating time,morbidity and mortality,digestive tract symptoms,nutritional status in 1 year after operation were compared.Results There were no signifioant differences among the three procedures in operative morbidity and mortality,postoperative food intake,nutritional status,incidences of diarrhea and dumping syndrome.Roux-en-Y esophajejunostomy and P-type esophajejunostomy had an advantage d anti-esophageal reflux,and are obviously superior to Lahey + Braun anastomosis.Roux-en-Y esophajejunostomy was simpler with shorter operating time and less complication.Condusion Roux-en-Y esophajejunostomy and P-type esophajejunostomy could be recommended as suitable methods for digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy.
