Method: Sixty-two children with post-confirmed cerebral palsy were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, 31 each. The control group was given conventional rehabilitation treatment, and the treatment group was given lumbar chiropspinal acupoint injection on the basis of the treatment method of the control group. After 3 consecutive courses of treatment, the sitting score of the two groups before and after treatment (GMFM88) was used to evaluate the sitting score before and after treatment. Outcome: Before treatment, the two groups were evaluated and the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05), which was comparable. The two groups (GMFM88) after treatment had significantly increased the differential values, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the same group before treatment (p Conclusion: Conventional rehabilitation combined with lumbar spinal point injection can effectively improve the sitting motor function of children with cerebral palsy.展开更多

Methods: We conducted a systematic review to identify randomized controlledtrials (RCTs) involving neostigmine injections given at the Zusanli (ST 36) acupoint for treating postpartum urinaryretention. We searched the Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, VipDatabase, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from the creation of the database to December 30, 2016. Bias riskassessment was performed using Revman 5.3 software from Cochrane based on the criteria set out in the CochraneHandbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, version 5.1.0. Results: Thirteen studies were included with 627participants in the treatment group and 584 participants in the control group. (1) Overall response rate: neostigmineinjections given at the Zusanli (ST 36) acupoint have a better curative effect than injections given in muscle, odds ratio(OR) = 8.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) [5.83, 13.10], Z = 10.49 (P 〈 0.001); (2) Comparison of effects at differentdosages: (i) 0.5 mg of neostigmine Zusanli (ST 36) acupoint injection group has better effect than 1 mg of neostigmineintramuscular injection group, OR = 15.84, 95% CI [5.74, 43.72],Z = 5.34 (P 〈 0.001), (ii) 0.5 mg of neostigmineinjection given at the Zusanli acupoint has a better curative effect than 0.5 mg of neostigmine injection given in muscle ,OR = 7.30, 95% CI [3.47, 15.34], Z = 5.24 (P 〈 0.001); (iii) 1 mg of neostigmine injection at the Zusanli (ST 36)acupoint has better efficacy than 1 mg of neostigmine injection in muscle, OR = 7.76, 95% CI [4.46, 13.52], Z = 7.25 (P〈 0.001). Conclusion: Neostigmine injections at the Zusanli (ST 36) acupoint have beneficial effects in treatingpostpartum urinary retention. However, the low quality of the studies included in the meta-analysis raises questions overthe reliability of the results. Further studies are still needed.展开更多

The 65 patients were divided into point-injection group (40 cases who were treated with point-injection of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae injectio and oral administration of Shujiangzhi) and control group (25 cases who were treated with oral administration of Shujiangzhi only). Results showed that the total effective rate of the point-injection group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0. 05); point-injection of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae injectio could effectively raise the level of HDL-C, decrease lower LDL-C and regulate estrogen level of women. The slow releasing action of red sage root solution in the topical acupoint region prolonged and enhanced its effect in lowering blood-lipid. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the effect of lowering blood-fat (P< 0. 01).展开更多

Results showd that in the trearment group, 6 cases were maredly effective, 27 effective and 2 ineffective, with an effective rate of 94. 29 %; in the control group, 2 cases were markedly effective, 10 effective and 18 ineffective, with an effective rate of 40. 00%. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the effective rate (P < 0.01). The acupuncture therapy is strikingly superior to treatment of prosopalgia with Western medicine and has lower side-effects and a lower recurrence rate.展开更多

Osseous and fat atrophy with aging may further contribute to the loss of soft tissue support and midface ptosis. In the aging of periorbital area and midface, fat atrophy occurs mostly in the suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) area. The authors proposed that injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to support the SOOF area could counteract the aging sign due to fat atrophy, restore volume loss and achieve a more youthful appearance. The authors described the treatment of 10 female patients who received CHAP<sup></sup><sup>®</sup>-particle hyaluronic acid (CHAP<sup>®</sup>-HA) injections for cheek augmentation, using single-point deep injection technique at midface in close proximity to SOOF area. Such approach provides satisfactory cheek augmentation results without significant complications. The authors discussed a rationale for their choice of dermal filler and provided an injection technique for restoring volume in the midface region with CHAP<sup>®</sup>-HA. Such technique is relatively quick to perform, have little down time, and result in a high rate of patient satisfaction.展开更多
