In large-scale hospitals practicing traditional Chinese medicine, there is accumulating experience related to the promotion of fast recovery in the perioperative period.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique.METHODS This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study included two groups: Treatment group and control group. The patients in the treatment group and control group received Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique and routine treatment, respectively. Clinical observation regarding postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function was performed, including the times to first passage of flatus, first defecation, and first normal bowel sounds. The comparison between groups was conducted through descriptive analysis, χ~2, t, F, and rank-sum tests.RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference in the time to postoperative first defecation between the treatment and control group(87.16 ± 32.09 vs 109.79 ±40.25 h, respectively;P < 0.05). Similarly, the time to initial recovery of bowel sounds in the treatment group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(61.17 ± 26.75 vs 79.19 ± 33.35 h, respectively;P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the time to initial exhaust between the treatment and control groups(51.54 ± 23.66 vs 62.24 ± 25.95 h, respectively;P >0.05). The hospitalization expenses for the two groups of patients were 62283.45 ±12413.90 and 62059.42 ± 11350.51 yuan, respectively. Although the cost of hospitalization was decreased in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). This clinical trial was safe without reports of any adverse reaction or event.CONCLUSION The rapid rehabilitation technique with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine promotes the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function and is significantly better than standard approach for patients after colorectal surgery.展开更多

Antroduodenojejunal manometry was used to monitor gastrointestinal motility in these subjects. After the subjects had fasted for at least 12 h, XBP(n = 30) or placebo(n = 10) was orally administrated and gastrointestinal motility was recorded for 4 h. Plasma motilin and ghrelin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS Oral administration of XBP significantly increased the amplitude of duodenal contractions [19.5(13.0-26.7) vs 16.9(12.3-23.9), P < 0.05], jejunal contractions [18.3(15.3-25.0) vs 15.4(11.7-23.9), P < 0.01], and the motility index of duodenal contractions [522.0(146.0-139.0) vs 281.0(76.5-1006.0), P < 0.01] in phase Ⅱ of the migratory motor complex(MMC), which subsequently initiated the MMC cycle [74.0(30.0-118.0) vs 116.5(24.0-219.0), P < 0.05], shortened the duration of phase I of the MMC [42.0(0.0-90.0) vs 111.5(42.0-171.0), P < 0.01], and lengthened the duration of phase Ⅱ of the MMC [120(21-240) vs 58(16-170), P < 0.01] compared to the duration before XBP administration. There were significant differences in the amplitude of jejunal contractions [19.8(14.0-30.0) vs 18.0(13.0-28.5), P < 0.05], the motility index of duodenal contractions [236.0(115.0-306.0) vs 195.0(109.0-310.0), P < 0.05], and jejunal contractions [214.0(95.0-403.0) vs 178.0(55.0-304.0), P < 0.01] in phase Ⅲ of the MMC. Oral administration of XBP greatly increased plasma motilin(57.69 ± 9.03 vs 49.38 ± 8.63, P < 0.01) and ghrelin(279.20 ± 104.31 vs 238.73 ± 115.59, P < 0.01) concentrations compared to concentrations after oral administration of the placebo.CONCLUSION XBP can stimulate duodenal and jejunal motility and increase the concentrations of plasma motilin and ghrelin. The clinical applicability of XBP in treating GDIM deserves investigation.展开更多

Methods: The procedures for developing the scale included a review of both modern and ancient literature, other perioperative scales or questionnaire references, an expert consultation, and interviews with patients and surgeons following standard procedures. Primary face and content validity were assessed through a small-scale patient survey of 50 patients. A final evaluation based on the patient survey was conducted among 354 patients (age range 16-75) from the same hospital. This included testing the perioperative recovery scale for integrative medicine (PRSIM) for scaling properties, reliability, validity and responsiveness. Results: The PRSIM, a 20-item scale, was modified from an initial version transcript which included 122 items. The 20 items in the PRSIM covered five domains: direct influence, indirect influence, activity, mental function and general health perceptions. Five factors extracted from an exploratory factor analysis demonstrated a desirable model fit. A confirmatory factor analysis further indicated that the PRSIM had a good fit with the same sample. A data analysis of the PRSIM with 349 patients showed that it had good internal consistency (α> 0.7), test-retest reliability (ICC > 0.4) and split half reliability (α= 0.66). Conclusions: The PRSIM can serve as a valuable instrument for assessing patient perioperative recovery in integrative medicine. It is acceptable for patients in the perioperative period undergoing treatment by either Chinese or integrative medicine, and has good psychometric properties.

According to the treatment way, the patients were divided into experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=40). The control group was given MTX 50 mg/m2, IM once;and the experimental group was given extopic pregnancy Ⅱ decoction on the basis of the treatment given to the control group;the 8th day hysteroscopic surgery. Routine treatment was given after surgery. Experimental group continued to take extopic pregnancy Ⅱ decoction until monitoring the serum beta-hcg level drops below normal. The general information and curative effect, HCG levels before and after 4, 7 and 11d of treatment;mass diameter before and after 11 d of treatment, menstruation recovery time and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed.Results:After hysteroscopic surgery pretreatment with extopic pregnancy Ⅱ decoction and MTX, HCG levels after 4, 7 and 11d were significantly lower than before, it gradually reduced by time prolonged, and research group was lower than control group, the differences were statistically significant. After treatment with different drugs, the size of pregnancy package in the observation group was significantly smaller than that in the control group. Compared with the control group, the he package block size, beta HCG time and vaginal bleeding time were significantly reduced.Conclusion: It has significant clinical effect of hysteroscopic surgery combined with ectopic pregnancy Ⅱ and MTX in the treatment of CSP. It has worthy of clinical promotion to control the amount of blood, avoid intrauterine adhesion caused by uterine artery embolization and infection et al and reduce burden of the physical and economic of patients.展开更多
