ABSTRACT
Objective:To identify the effects of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule (XZC) on the surgical treatment of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH).Methods:Retrospectively collected 96 pairs of patients who undergoing burr-hole craniotomy (BHC) for CSDH from January 2016 to December 2019 in Dalian Municipal Central Hospital. Clinical characteristics and imaging information of each patient were extracted, the follow-up period was six months. Differences in demographics and postoperative outcomes were compared between BHC+XZC group and BHC only group. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis with Logistic regression model were performed to determine independent associations among the various probable effective factor. The relationship between related factors and effectiveness of CSDH was estimated with odds ratio ( OR) and 95% CI. Results:Effectiveness in 87 cases (90.6%) patients with surgery and received XZC postoperatively was significantly higher than 76 cases (79.2%) patients who underwent surgery alone. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed postoperative administration of XZC and preoperative Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score were independent protective factors for CSDH to improve therapeutic effect.Conclusions:This study suggested postoperative administration of XZC for CSDH patients can improve the therapeutic effect, a higher preoperative GCS score is contributed to the postoperative effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of scraping therapy plus Yi Yi Ren (Semen Coicis) congee in treating functional dyspepsia due to dampness-heat blocking the stomach. Method Sixty-four patients were divided into an observation group and a control group by using the random number table, 32 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by scraping therapy plus Yi Yi Ren (Semen Coicis) congee, while the control group was by Mosapride citrate dispersible tablets. The two groups were both treated for 4 weeks. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, Nepean Dyspepsia Symptom Index (NDSI), and Nepean Dyspepsia Life Quality Index (NDLQI) were observed before and after the intervention and the clinical efficacy was evaluated, for comparison and analysis. Result The total effective rate was respectively 93.8%in the observation group and 78.1%in the control group, and the observation group was superior to the control group (P<0.05);after the intervention, the TCM symptom scores and NDSI scores dropped significantly in the two groups (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the NDLQI scores increased significantly in the two groups (P<0.05), and the improvements in the observation group were more significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Scraping therapy plus Yi Yi Ren (Semen Coicis) congee and Mosapride citrate dispersible tablets are both effective in treating functional dyspepsia due to dampness-heat blocking the stomach, while the former one can produce a more significant therapeutic efficacy and improve the symptoms and quality of life in a better way.
