Methods: A total of 150 children withexogenous fever were randomly divided based on the random digital table into a control group (75 cases) and a treatment group (75 cases). The control group was treated with oral Xiao'er Chaigui Tuire Keli (<1 year old, 0.5 bag/time;1-3 years old, 1 bag/time;4-6 years old, 1.5 bags/time), 4 times/day. The treatment group was treated with pediatric tuina plus the intervention of the control group. The amount and usage of Chinese medicine were the same as those of the control group;tuina was conducted 1 time/day. The clinical effects and adverse reactions were observed after 3 d of treatment in both groups. The recurrence was observed within 7 d after the end of treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 92.0% in the treatment group and 81.3% in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in the two groups after treatment. The recurrence rate was 1.5% in the treatment group and 13.1% in the control group. The difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Pediatric tuina plus Chinese medicine is effective in treating children with exogenous fever.展开更多

Methods： By adopting a randomized controlled method, 80 eligible patients were randomized into an observation group of 41 cases and a control group of 39 cases. The control group was intervened by Jin＇s cervical three-needle acupuncture plus acupuncture at the vertigo-pain points and Fengchi （GB 20）; the observation group was by Long＇s chiropractic tuina manipulations in addition to the treatment given to the control. For both groups, the intervention was given once a day, 7 sessions as a treatment course, with a 1-day interval after a course, for 2 courses in total. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after the first session and the second treatment course, at the 3-month and 6-month follow-ups. Results： After the first session, the recovery plus markedly effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group （P〈0.01）; the rate was markedly higher in the observation group than that in the control group after 2 treatment courses （P〈0.01）; at the 3-month follow-up, the relapse rate was 2.5% in the observation group versus 23.5% in the control, and the between-group difference was statistically insignificant （P〉0.05）; the 6-month follow-up study showed that the relapse rate was 5.0% in the observation group versus 21.6% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant （P〈0.05）; at the 6-month follow-up, the total relapse rate was 7.5% in the observation group versus 35.1% in the control group, and the inter-group difference was statistically significant （P〈O.01）. Conclusion： The two treatment protocols are both effective in treating cervical vertigo. However, due to its more significant efficacy, more efficient action and lower relapse rate compared to acupuncture alone, acupuncture plus tuina can be regarded as a verified protocol for cervical vertigo.展开更多
Objective： To observe the influence of Nie-pinching the spine manipulation on the excretory rate ot urine D-xylose in the infants with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, and to assess the clinical effects. Methods： ...Objective： To observe the influence of Nie-pinching the spine manipulation on the excretory rate ot urine D-xylose in the infants with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, and to assess the clinical effects. Methods： Sixty infants in conformity with the diagnostic criteria of diarrhea due to spleen deficiency were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group by the random digital table, 30 cases in each group. The infants in the treatment group were treated by Nie-pinching the spine manipulation and traditional infantile tuina, in addition to the routine basic treatment. The infants in the control group were treated by the same traditional infantile tuina in addition to the routine basic treatment. The infants in the two groups were treated once every day, 4 weeks as a course. Totally, the treatment was given for a course. The symptom integrals of spleen deficiency were used to assess the improvement in the symptoms. The colorimetry was used to determine the excretory rate of urine D-xylose. Results： in the comparison of the same group before and after the treatment, the differences in the global score of spleen deficiency symptoms and the excretory rate of urine D-xylose in the two groups were statistically significant （all P〈0.01）. After the treatment, the differences in the global score of spleen deficiency symptoms and the excretory rate of urine D-xylose between the two groups were all statistically significant （both P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Chiropractics can reduce the integrals of spleen deficiency symptoms and elevate the excretory rate of urine D-xylose in the infants with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, so as to enhance the therapeutic effects by alleviating the symptoms of spleen deficiency and the absorptive function of the small intestine.展开更多

Method： The anatomical structure and physio-pathological characteristics of the spine have been studied by using modern scientific knowledge, such as, anatomy, image, biomechanics and pathophysiology. Results： The spine and its surrounding muscles and ligaments, the whole spine, spine and nerves, vessels in between intervertebral foramen as well as the spinal cord within the spinal canal, and spine, pelvis and the lower limbs all constitute an organic whole. Conclusion： The TCM holistic view in bones and tendons, spine, spine- nerve-vessel-spinal cord and spine-pelvis-lower limbs are still guiding the clinical practice of spinal manipulations.展开更多
