Methods 40 normal named control group, LDH model group, BL40 group New Zealand rabbits were randomized into 4 groups, and comparative point group. The experimental LDH model was prepared by the self-made LDH animal pathological modeling device. Bloodletting on BL40 or on comparative point was applied for 7 days. BL-410 physiological signal recorder was used to record SNCV. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunology methods were used to determine the contents of IL-1α and PLA2 in neucleus pulposus tissue and PGE2 in serum. Results In BL40 group, SNCV was significantly increased after treatment comparing with that before treatment (P〈0. 01 ), and the difference in SNCV value before and after treatment was significantly bigger than that in model group and comparative point group (P〈0.05). Bloodletting on BL40 reduced the contents of IL-1α and PLA2 in neucleus pulposus tissue and serum PGE2 in LDH rabbits, which indicated significant difference or very significant results in the comparison with model and comparative point groups (P〈0.01 or 0. 05). Conclusion Bloodletting speeded up rapidly SNCV and reduced the contents of inflammatory factors, i.e. IL-1α, PLA2 and serum PGE2 in LDH rabbits, which indicated that alleviation of local inflammatory reaction is probably one of the mechanisms on LDH treated by bloodletting on BL40.展开更多

Methods A total of 69 patients undergoing vertebral pulp extraction were randomized into acupuncture group ( n = 35) and control group ( n = 34). Patients of acupuncture group were treated with routine rehabilitation method and electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation on Zhìbiān (秩边 BL54) and Wěizhōng (委中 BL40), acupuncture on Shènshū ( 肾俞 BL23), Dàchángshū (大肠俞 BL25), BL54, BL40, Jiájǐ (夹脊 EX-B 2), Shàngliáo (上髎 BL31), etc., and cupping on BL40, with 15 days being a therapeutic course and for average 7. 36 courses. Patients of control group were treated with simple rehabilitation method. Functional recovery state was judged before and after surgery by using the standards of Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA). Results The average recovery rates of 3 months, 6 months and one year after surgery were 49.93% ,90.31% and 95.08% separately in acupuncture group, and 26.24% ,63.42% and 71.36% successively in control group. The recovery rates of acupuncture group were significantly higher than those of control group at the same time-points (P〈0. 05). Conclusion Acupuncture has a definite effect on promoting post-operative functional recovery in LIDP patients undergoing vertebral pulp extraction and spinal fusion.展开更多

Methods A total of 211 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion were randomized into two groups, with 106 cases being in trealment group and 105 in control group. The treatment was given once everyday, 12 days as one course of treatment. After two courses of treatment, the results were analyzed. Results The curative rate was 97.1% in the treatment group and 81.0% in the control group. Conclusion Acupuncture together with herbal medicine for the protrusion of lumbar intervetebral disc was better in effect than acupuncture only.展开更多

Methods: Medical records were selected randomly from 30 patients whose diagnoses were consistent with the inclusion criteria of the study. Thickness of bilateral fat, the longest length of posterior fat, thickness of bilateral yellow ligament and the hernial distance of lumbar discs were measured by MRI at L3/L4, L4/L5 and L5/S 1 levels. According to clinical symptoms of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, the patients were divided into two groups at all space levels. All data were analyzed by statistical software. Results: The longest length of posterior epidural fat at the symptomatic levels was shorter than that at the non-symptomatic levels in each disc space. The symptomatic levels had no effect on the whole thickness of the lateral fat and lateral yellow ligaments. Conclusion: Epidural fat distribution in patients with lumbar intcrvertebral disc protrusion is different from that in normal adults. It is affected by the hernial distance of lumbar discs. The diagnostic criteria for spinal epidural lipomatosis in normal adults may therefore prove to be inappropriate for patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion.展开更多

In observation group, body acupuncture was applied on Ahshi points of lumbar region, lumbar Jiájǐ (夹脊EX-B 2), Dàchángshú(大肠俞 BL 25), etc. and wrist-ankle acupuncture was applied on lower No. 4, 5 and 6 regions. In control group, simple body acupuncture was applied on the same points as observation group. Results The lumbar vertebral function and pain scale were improved in either group in comparison before and after treatment (P〈0.05). Concerning pain improvement, the total effective rate was 95.6% in observation group, which was superior to that (86.7%) in control group (P〈0.05). Concerning the improvement of lumbar vertebral function, the total effective rate was 90.0% in observation group and 93.3% in control group, without significant difference between two groups (P〉0.05). Conclusion Combined therapy of body acupuncture and wrist-ankle acupuncture demonstrates apparent analgesia in prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.展开更多

Methods One hundred and twenty-four cases of LDH were treated with acupuncture at Taichong (太冲LR 3), Neiting (内庭 ST 44), Zulinqi (足临泣 GB 41), Yaotongdian (腰痛点 lumbar pain point), Tuntangdian (臀痛点 buttock pain point) and Zuogushenjingdian (坐骨神经点 sciatic point) and massage manipulations [including gunfa (rolling technique), yizhichan tuifa (one-finger pushing technique), qianyin doudong fa (shaking technique under traction), anyofa (pressing technique) and zuoyou cebanfa (bilateral pulling technique)], once a day, for 3 weeks totally. The lower back pain scoring system of the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) was adopted for the scoring before and after treatment to assess the efficacy. Results At the end of treatment, JOA score was reduced to (0.95±0.32) points as compared with (6.14±0.97) points before treatment (P〈0.01). Concerning to the efficacy improvement rate, 96 cases were excellent, 12 cases good, 5 cases fair and 3 cases poor. 116 cases received the follow-up visit for 6 months averagely and no case of recurrence was reported. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with massage manipulate can relieve rapidly acute pain in the lumbar region and legs and acts directly on the foci. This therapy is safe and effective, achieves the high clinical curative rate and brings less pain to the patients.展开更多

METHODS: Fifty male rats were devided into a blank group (A), a sham operation group (B), a model group (C), a scraping group (D), and a drug group (E). The rats in the group B were treated with sham operation, and groups C, D and E were made into the LDH model by operation. After operation group C were treated with no interventions, D were given scraping and E were fed with azathioprine Then the IL-1 levels of different groups were detected by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay method. And the transplanted coccygeal vertebra discs were observed by pathological section. RESULTS: The IL-1 levels in the groups C, D, and E were significantly higher than those in the groups A and B (all P<0.01), which proved the operationwas successful.The IL-1 levels in the groups D and E at different periods had statistical significance (F= 414.158, P<0.01). The treatment periods and interventions have interation (F=46.613, P<0.01). Multiple comparison results showed that the IL-1 levels in the groups D and E was significantly lower than that in the group C (P<0.01), while the IL-1 levels between the groups D and E had no statistical significance (P>0.05). Moreover, pathological section indicated that immuno-inflammatory response was hardly found in coccygeal vertebra discs in the groups A and B, while local immuno-inflammatory responses of the groups D and E were much lighter than that of the group C. CONCLUSION: Scraping therapy could inhibit the immuno-inflammatory responses in the rats with LDH caused by transplantation of autologous nu cleus pulposus.展开更多
