[Effect of preoperative intervention of electroacupuncture at Baliao point on postoperative complications of procedure for prolapsed and hemorrhoids].

OBJECTIVE: To explore effective treatments that can alleviate postoperative complications in patients with procedure for prolapsed and hemorrhoids (PPH). METHODS: Sixty patients with pre-mixed hemorrhoids PPH were randomly divided into a simple operation group and a preoperative electroacupuncture intervention group, 30 cases in each group. PPH routine treatment was given in the simple operation group. Electroacupuncture (EA) was applied at Baliao point 30 min before PPH in the preoperative electroacupuncture intervention group, and EA was applied at Ciliao (BL 32) and Xialiao (BL 34) for 30 min. The scores of anus pendant, pain degree and persistent time and first urination time were compared within 24 h after operation between the two groups. RESULTS: The scores of anal pendant and pain degree in the 6 h, 12 h, 18 h, the persistent time of anal pendant and pain degree within 24 h and first urination time were better in the preoperative electroacupuncture intervention group than those in the simple operation group, and there were statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Electroacupuncture at Baliao point 30 min before PPH can not only decrease the degrees of anal pendant and pain in the 6 h, 12 h, 18 h, but also shorten the persistent time of anal pendant and pain within 24 h after surgery and promote the first urination.

[Clinical observation on premature ovarian failure by warming acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Guanyuan (CV 4) combined with ginger moxibustion at Baliao points].

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect difference between warm acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Guanyuan (CV 4) combined with ginger moxibustion at Baliao points and western medication for premature ovarian failure (POF). METHODS: Fifty patients with POF were randomly assigned into an acupuncture-moxibustion group and a western medication group, 25 cases in each group. Warm acupuncture (30 min a time) at Zusanli (ST 36) and Guanyuan (CV 4) combined with ginger moxibustion (1.5 h a time) at Baliao points were used in the acupuncture-moxibustion group, once a day, 5 times a week. Three courses were given, one month as a course. Climen tablet was prescribed orally from the 5th day of menstruation in the western medication group, one tablet a time, once a day. The medication was given for 3 months, 7 days between the two 21-day medication. Before and after treatment, electrochemiluminescence was used to measure follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH); euzymelinked immunosorbent assay was applied to test estradiol (E2); transvaginal color doppler sonography and abdomen ultrasound were applied to determine peak systolic velocity (PSV) of ovarian blood flow, resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), ovarian volume and the number of sinus follicles (AFC). The clinical effect was compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, FSH and FSH/LH were lower than those before treatment in the two groups (all P<0.05), and the value of FSH/LH in the acupuncture-moxibustion group as lower (P<0.05). E2, PSV and AFC after treatment were higher than those before treatment in the two groups (all P<0.05), and PSV, AFC in the acupuncture-moxibustion group were higher (both P<0.05). After treatment, RI and PI were lower and ovarian volume increased than those before treatment in the two groups (all P<0.05). The total effective rate in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was 92.0% (23/25), and the total effective rate in the western medication group was 88.0% (22/25), without statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Warm acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Guanyuan (CV 4) combined with ginger moxibustion at Baliao points are effective for POF patients, especially in improving FSH/LH, PSV and AFC.
