Effects of Modified Sang ju-Yin Decoction Combined with IFNαlb Nebulization on IL-1ß and HBD2 in Children with Asthmatic Bronchitis.

Background: Breathing disease swelling of the lung tubes caused by viral infection is more and more likely to develop into related to the lung tubes breathing disease, especially repeating breathing loudly. Objective: To investigate the effect of modified Sang ju-Yin Decoction combined with Interferon (IFN)αlb nebulization on children with asthmatic bronchitis and the effects of IL-1ß and ß-defensin 2 (HBD2). Materials and Methods: The clinical data of 80 children with asthmatic bronchitis who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital from May 2019 to May 2021 were selected as the research objects and divided into the control group and the observation group with 40 cases in each group according to different treatment methods. Among them, the control group was nebulized with IFNαlb, and the observation group was given addition and subtraction of Sang ju-Yin Decoction based on the control group. The clinical symptoms, pulmonary function indexes, adverse reactions, and effects on serum inflammatory indexes were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in the scores of symptoms and signs between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05), while the scores of shortness of breath, cough, stridor, lung rales, and signs after treatment of observation group were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in serum inflammatory indexes and pulmonary function indexes between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05), while the differences in IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-1ß, and HBD2 after treatment were significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). After treatment, the RR, TV, and PEF indexes of the two groups of children were significantly improved (P < 0.05). After treatment, the adverse reaction rate of liver function damage, dry throat discomfort, rash, nausea, and vomiting in the observation group was 7.5%, which was significantly lower than 27.5% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Modified Sang ju-Yin Decoction combined with IFNαlb nebulization can improve symptoms and promote the recovery of patients in the treatment of acute bronchitis.

[Herbal acupoint sticking combined with electroacupuncture therapy in the treatment of Bell's palsy: a randomized controlled trial].

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with herbal acupoint sticking in the treatment of Bell's palsy and provide optimizations for the clinic. METHODS: One hundred and two cases of Bell's palsy were randomized into an EA combined with herbal acupoint sticking group (group A, 50 cases) and an EA group (group B, 52 cases), EA at Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yangbai (GB 14), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Quanliao (SI 18),Xiaguan (ST 7), Yingxiang (LI 20), etc. were applied in both groups and "facial paralys No.I " was applied at Yifeng (TE 17) in group A, once daily and 10 times totally were needed. The score of facial nerve function, clinical efficacy were compared before and after treatment. At 1 and 3 month follow up visit, the quality of life scale( WHOQOL-BREF) and the occurrence of complication were observed. RESULTS: The scores of facial nerve function in group A and group B were all significantly improved compared with those before treatment (48. 2+/- 2. 9 vs 25. 7 +/- 4. 9, 45. 9 +/- 6. 2 vs 25. 8 +/- 5. 5, both P0. 05). The occurrence of complication in group A (1 case) was significantly less than that in group B (8 cases, P 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Compared with EA, the combination of EA and acupoint sticking therapy for Bell's palsy cannot only improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the occurrence of complication but also reliable without any side effect.
