RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Guizhi-Fuling decoction and Danggui-Shaoyao decoction combined with metformin in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Methods A total of 120 patients with fueling the polycystic ovarian syndrome were enrolled and divided into two group by random number table method, the treatment group (60 patients) and the control group (60 patients). Patients in the control group were treated with metformin, and those in the treatment group with Guizhi-Fuling decoction and Danggui-Shaoyao decoction plus metformin for 6 menstrual cycle. The vagina or rectum two-dimensional ultrasound was detected by follicle numbers (FN) and ovarian volume (OV). The height, weight, BMI calculation were recorded and evaluated before and after treatment. Results After treatment and follow-up, the OV (2.4 ± 1.5 cm3 vs. 4.7 ± 2.6 cm3, t=5.935; 1.6 ± 0.8 cm3 vs. 2.9 ± 1.3 cm3, t=-6.597), FN (8 ± 2 vs. 10 ± 2, t=-5.477; 6 ± 1 vs. 8 ± 2, t=-6.928) and BMI (20.5 ± 2.6 kg/m2 vs. 23.8 ± 2.7 kg/m2, t=-6.866; 20.1 ± 1.3 kg/m2 vs. 22.6 ± 1.7 kg/m2, t=-9.074) of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.01). Conclusions The Guizhi-Fuling decoction and Danggui-Shaoyao decoction combined with metformin can reduce the weight, ovarian volume, follicle numbers of PCOS patients.
RESUMO
@#Objective To observe the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and acupuncture on intractable facial paralysis. Methods 60 cases with intractable facial paralysis were divided into the acupuncture group and PNF and acupuncture group ( 30 cases respectively). They were assessed with the Portmann's Simple Scale after treatment. Results The score of the Portmann's Simple Scale in PNF and acupuncture group was higher than that in the acupuncture group (P<0.05).Conclusion PNF is synergistic to the effect of acupuncture on intractable facial paralysis.
RESUMO
Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture on Jiaozheng (Extra) plus hydro-acupuncture in treating facial paralysis, and to explore a better acupuncture therapy for treating facial paralysis. Methods: One hundred and nineteen cases with peripheral facial paralysis were randomly allocated into an observation group (60 cases) and a control group (59 cases) by the visiting sequence. The cases in the observation group were treated with electroacupuncture on Jiaozheng (Extra) plus hydro-acupuncture, and the cases in the control group were treated with normal acupuncture. The treatment was conducted once a day and 7 times as a course, with 1-2 d interval. Evaluation were done after 6 courses. Results: Comparing the cure and marked efficacy rate, observation group was much better than control group, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05); after 14-day treatment, the cure and marked efficacy rate of the observation group and the control group was 78.3% and 49.2%, respectively; after 21-day treatment, the cure and marked efficacy rate of the observation group and the control group was 88.3% and 67.8%, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture mainly on Jiaozheng (Extra) plus hydro-acupuncture in treating facial paralysis was better and with shorter courses.
