Methods A total of 120 healthy old persons were randomly divided into two groups: 60 old persons as treatment group and other 60 persons as control group. Each person in the treatment group took a thyroid tablet 10 mg daily continuously for six months while the control group took VitB1 30 mg daily instead of thyroid tablet. The level of TH, M -TSH, FT3, FT4, TT4, rT3, TC, TG, LDL - C, HDL-C, ApoA1 were measured in two groups before and after receiving TH or Vit. B1 treatment. Results In the treatment group the level of TH increased obviously. And TC, TG, LDL - C levels decreased also to some extent while HDL - C, ApoAl levels increased slightly which was significant when compared with the control group and pre - treatment group. Conclusions To use small dose of TH as supplement treatment can increase the TH level of healthy old persons and decrease their blood lipid level. It would be a benefit for treating hyperlipidemia in the elderly.展开更多

Methods: A total of 190 cases of climacteric syndrome participants were randomly divided into auricular plus body acupuncture group (treatment group, n=96) and simple body acupuncture group (control group, n=94). Serum sexual hormone (FSH, LH and E2) and blood lipid (TC, LDL C, HDL C and TG) levels were detected before and after treatment. Results: After 30 sessions of treatment, the total effective rates of treatment and control groups were 82.29% and 76.02% respectively, with the former being significantly higher than the later (P<0.01). In comparison with pre treatment of each group, serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luterotropic hormone (LH) levels lowered significantly; serum estradiol (E 2) increased remarkably (P<0.05-0.01); serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C) of two groups raised significantly (P<0.05-0.01), and low density lipoprotein (LDL) C of treatment group decreased evidently (P<0.05). In addition, the improvement of complaints of hot flushes, sweating, paresthesia, insomnia and emotional irritability in treatment group is significantly better than that of control group. Conclusion: Auricular acupuncture combined with body acupuncture has a better therapeutic effect than that of simple body acupuncture in the treatment of climacteric syndrome.展开更多
