Methods: Ten patients with chronic hemorrhagic radiation proctitis between January 2005 to January 2008 were treated with Qing Dai. Qing Dai was administered orally at a dose of 1.5 g, bid for 5 consecutive days, every 2 weeks for two courses. Patients were followed up every 3 months. The clinical response and side-effects were evaluated. Results: Six patients showed improvement of rectal bleeding to grade 0-1 after 1 course of Qing Dai therapy. Four patients had reduced rectal bleeding to grade 0-1 after 2 courses of the therapy. The median follow-up time was 10 months (range: 6-24). During the follow-up period, 1 patient experienced recurrent rectal bleeding and was managed with topical formalin dabbing, which controlled the symptom. No treatment toxicity was observed. Conclusion: Qing Dai may be a safe and effective treatment for chronic hemorrhagic radiation proctitis.展开更多

Main acupoints used are Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX HN 3), Sibai (ST 2), Dicang (ST 4) and Hegu (LI 4). After insertion, the needles are retained but not manipulated, and the acupoints are irradiated with TDP for 20-60 min every time. The treatment is conducted once daily, with 10 sessions being a therapeutic course. Following 6-28 sessions of treatment, of the 150 cases, 145 are cured, 2 experience remarkable improvement and 3 have improvement, with the total effective rate being 100%. The fact indicates that acupuncture plus TDP irradiation is rather effective in the treatment of facial palsy.展开更多

The results showed that the curative rate and the total effective rate of the treatment group were 91.25% and 98.75% separately, while those of the control group 62.86% and 92.86% respectively. Comparison of the curative rate between the 2 groups showed a remarkable significance (P<0.01). The observation demonstrated that combined treatment of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc with traditional Chinese and Western medicine is an effective approach.展开更多

Methods: According to medical records of inpatients, demographicinformation, etiology, clinical features and treatment information were collected. Results: A total of 610 cases withheart failure from our hospital between July 2010 and June 2016 were analyzed. The average age of all the patientswas 63. Males accounted for 50.49%. There were 82.7% patients with NYHA functional classification at III-IV.31.3% patients with coronary artery disease, 28.4% with rheumatic heart diseases and 21.8% with expansion ofheart disease. 27.4 percent of the patients with the left ventricular ejection fraction lower than 40%. There were78.9% patients received aldosterone antagonist treatment, 63.4% received ACEI/ARB, 62.1% received digoxin,59.8% received beta blockers, and 75.4% patients received decoction, and 80.8% received Chinese patent medicine.Conclusion: The study has shown that high utilization of traditional Chinese medicine is to highlight theadvantages of the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of heart failure. Theusage of spironolactone, ACEI/ARB, beta blockers in our hospital was lower than the ratio reported, higher thanthat of the national average. However, the use of diureticis is lower than that of national average, which may relateto the use of damp-clearing herbs. Clinicians should pay attention to the high utilization rate of digoxin. Patientswith the left ventricular ejection fraction 〉 50% accounted for 61.1%, which required more attention should be paidto the diagnosis and treatment of patients with heart failure of the ejection fraction remains.展开更多
