RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To compare the curative effect between the warm acupuncture at Yifeng (TE 17) combined with conventional acupuncture and TDP plus conventional acupuncture on facial paralysis with periauricular pain during pregnancy.@*METHODS@#A total of 68 patients were randomized into an observation group (36 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and a control group (32 cases, 1 case dropped off). First week, TDP light was used on the affected side in the control group, and warm acupuncture at Yinfeng (TE 17) on the affected side was used in the observation group, both once a day. From the second week, both groups were given acupuncture at Chengjiang (CV 24) and the affected side of Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yangbai (GB 14), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Yingxiang (LI 20), Dicang (ST 4), etc. and electroacupuncture (continuous wave, 2 Hz in frequency) was connected at Cuanzhu (BL 2) and Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Jiache (ST 6) and Dicang (ST 4). Both treatments were given every other day for 4 weeks totally. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the periauricular pain degree before treatment and after 1 week of treatment, the House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve function grading scale and facial disability index (FDI) score before treatment and after 2, 4 weeks of treatment were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#After 1 week of treatment, the VAS scores of both groups decreased (@*CONCLUSION@#Warm acupuncture at Yinfeng (TE 17) combined with conventional acupuncture can effectively improve the periauricular pain and facial nerve function in patients of facial paralysis with periauricular pain during pregnancy, and the curative effect is better than TDP plus conventional acupuncture.

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the clinical effects of acupuncture combined with sertraline hydrochloride and simple sertraline hydrochloride on tumor-related depression.@*METHODS@#Sixty patients with tumor-related depression who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an observation group and a control group, 30 patients in each group. The routine treatment in department of oncology were given in both groups, oral sertraline hydrochloride (25 mg daily for the first 5 days, then 50 mg daily) was given in the control group; on the basis of the treatment in the control group, and acupuncture was applied at Hegu (LI 4), Neiguan (PC 6), Taichong (LR 3), Shenmen (HT 7),etc. in the observation group,twice a week .The two groups were treated continuously for 4 weeks. The Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) score and the quality of life score (QLQ-C30 questionnaire) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.@*RESULTS@#After treatment, the HAMD scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (both <0.05), and the HAMD scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (<0.05). In the observation group, the symptom scores of fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, and diarrhea were significantly lower than those before treatment (all <0.05), and the physical, cognitive, emotional function, and the overall quality of life score were significantly higher than those before treatment (all <0.05); in the control group, the symptom scores of insomnia decreased compared with that before treatment (<0.05), and the emotional function and overall quality of life score were higher than those before treatment (both <0.05); in addition to economic difficulties, roles and social functions, the other scores after treatment in the observation group were significantly improved than those in the control group (all <0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The combination of acupuncture and sertraline hydrochloride tablets is better than simple sertraline hydrochloride in the treatment of tumor-related depression, and it can improve the accompanying symptoms and improve quality of life.

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of different acupuncture frequency and duration of needle retention on idiopathic facial paralysis, and optimize the acupuncture treatment plan.@*METHODS@#A total of 140 patients were randomized into a group A (37 cases, 3 cases dropped off), a group B (35 cases, 3 cases dropped off), a group C (34 cases, 1 case dropped off) and a group D (34 cases, 1 case dropped off). Under the same basic treatment, acupuncture intervention time (day 8 of morbidity), acupoint selection [Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yangbai (GB 14), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Yingxiang (LI 20), Jiache (ST 6), Dicang (ST 4) on the affected side, Chengjiang (CV 24) and Hegu (LI 4) on the unaffected side] and electroacupuncture intervention, different acupuncture interval time and duration of needle retention were applied. In the group A, the treatment was given 20 min once a day, while the group B 30 min once a day, the group C 20 min once every 2 days, the group D 30 min once every 2 days. Totally 20-day treatment were required. The House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve function grading system was used to evaluate the improvement of clinical symptom, the situation and latency periods of the R1 wave in blink reflex and facial nerve motor conduction before and after treatment were observed in the 4 groups.@*RESULTS@#After treatment, the cured rates in the 4 groups were 44.1% (15/34), 46.9% (15/32), 57.6% (19/33) and 51.5% (17/33), there was no significant difference among 4 groups (>0.05). The situation and latency periods of the R1 wave in blink reflex and latency periods and amplitude of facial nerve motor conduction after treatment were improved in the 4 groups (0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Acupuncture 20 min once a day, 30 min once a day, 20 min once every 2 days and 30 min once every 2 days have significant effect on the recovery of idiopathic facial paralysis, and the effect is comparable.

To further evaluate the safety of ginkgo diterpene lactone meglumine injection in the clinical use in ischemic stroke patients. Clinical safety study was conducted in 82 clinical units and 6 300 cases were completed and included from June 2013 to December 2014 by using multicenter, prospective, open and uncontrolled design methods for clinical research. A total of 29 cases of adverse reactions were observed in the experiment. Adverse reaction ratio (ADR) was 0.46%, and about 86.21% (25 cases) of them was mild with transient response which could be alleviated or disappeared without intervention; about 13.79% (4 cases) was moderate, including 2 cases of headache, 1 case of dizziness and 1 case of rash; no serious adverse reactions were found. The adverse reactions occurred in this study were pre-known adverse reactions or common adverse reactions of Chinese medicine injection. The overall incidence of adverse reactions was low, and the risk was controllable.
