Umbilicus application with Chinese medicine for chronic diarrhea due to food intolerance in kids:a multicenter randomized trial

Objective： To observe the clinical efficacy of umbilicus application with Chinese medicine in treating children＇s chronic diarrhea due to food intolerance and the value of healthy diet education. Methods： Eighty kids with chronic diarrhea due to food intolerance were recruited from multiple centers and divided by using the random number table into a treatment group of 40 cases and a control group of 40 cases. For both groups, based on the level of serum food-specific immunoglobulin G（Ig-G）, the patients were given unified diet following the healthy diet guidance： safe, alternate, and forbidden, while the treatment group was additionally given umbilicus application with Chinese medicine. The therapeutic efficacy and symptom score of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） were observed and compared respectively after 1-week, 2-week, 4-week, and 12-week treatment. Results： The diarrhea symptoms and coupled symptoms scores dropped significantly in the two groups after treatment（ all P〈0.05）, and the inter-group comparisons also showed statistical significances（P〈0.05）. The total effective rate was 97.5% in the treatment group versus 77.5% in the control group, and the inter-group difference was statistically significant（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The healthy diet guidance based on the food intolerance test is effective in helping treat diarrhea, while umbilicus application with Chinese medicine works better in treating diarrhea for kids with chronic diarrhea due to food intolerance and can significantly enhance the therapeutic efficacy.

Clinical observation on electroacupuncture plus Jiawei Jinhuanggao(Supplemented Golden Yellow Paste) for gouty arthritis

Objective： To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture（EA） plus self-made Jiawei Jinhuanggao（Supplemented Golden Yellow Paste） for gouty arthritis. Methods： A total of 80 cases with gouty arthritis were randomly allocated into an observation group（n=40） and a Western medication group（n=40）. Cases in the observation group received EA and external application of self-made Jiawei Jinhuanggao（Supplemented Golden Yellow Paste）, whereas cases in the Western medication group took Colchicine and Allopurinol tablets orally. After 10 d of treatment, the pain, joint swelling and uric acid in blood were observed. In addition, the follow-up was conducted 6 months after end of the treatment to evaluate the long-term effect. Results： After treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in pain and uric acid in blood（P〈0.05）; and there were between-group statistical differences in joint swelling and relapse rate（P〈0.05）. The total effective rate was 97.5% in the observation group, versus 95.0% in the Western medication group, showing no statistical difference（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： EA plus Jiawei Jinhuanggao（Supplemented Golden Yellow Paste） has safe and long-term efficacy for gouty arthritis efficacy.

Efficacy and effect on related brain-gut peptides of acupoint sticking therapy for functional dyspepsia

Objective:To observe the efficacy of acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointmerrt in the treatment of functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency and its effect on serum 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)and ghrelin con tents.Methods:One hun dred patients with functi onal dyspepsia due to liver-qi stag nation and spleen deficiency were divided into a treatment group and a control group by the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The treatment group received acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment and the control group was treated with mosapride citrate orally.Patients were treated for 4 weeks as a course.The therapeutic efficacy was compared after one-course treatment and the differences in gastric emptying rate,and serum 5-HT and ghrelin contents between groups were compared before and after treatment.Results:The total effective rate was 79.6%in the control group and 89.4%in the treatment group,showing significantly differe nt between groups(P<0.05).After treatme nt,the gastric empt ying rate and serum ghreli n con tent of the two groups in creased significantly,and the serum 5-HT content decreased significantly,the intra-group differe nces were significant(all P<0.01).After treatment,the gastric emptying rate and serum ghrelin content were significantly higher in the treatment group than those in the control group,while the serum 5-HT was significant lower in the treatment group,the inter-group differences were significant(all P<0.05).A negative correlation(r=-0.59)was observed between serum 5-HT content and gastric emptying rate,and a positive correlation(r=0.64)was observed between serum ghrelin content and gastric emptying rate,showing statistical significance(all P<0.01).Conclusion:Acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment has a remarkable ciinical efficacy in treating patie nts with functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency and is able to in fluence the secretion of serum 5-HT and ghrelin-1 mproving the gastrointestinal motility through the regulation of related brain-gut peptides is suggested as an underlying mechanism for this therapy.

Observation on clinical effects of acupuncture plus external medicine application for cervical radiculopathy

Objective： To observe the clinical effects of acupuncture plus external medicine application for cervical radiculopathy. Methods： A total of 98 patients with cervical radiculopathy were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group based on the random digital table. The observation group （50 cases） was treated by acupuncture plus external medicine application and the control group （48 cases） was treated by acupuncture alone. The patients received the treatment every day. Ten sessions made a course. Cervical spondylosis symptom scale was used to assess the cases before and after the treatment. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups after the treatment. Results： The total effective rate was 98.1% in the observation group versus 87.6% in the control group with a statistically significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）. The cure rate was 52.0% in the observation group versus 18.8% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）. There was no significant difference in the score of cervical spondylosis symptom scale between the two groups before the treatment （P〉0.05）. It increased with a significant difference in both groups after the treatment （both P〈0.05）, while a significant difference was found in the results between the two groups after the treatment （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus external medicine application is more effective than acupuncture alone for treating cervical radiculopathy. The method also effectively improves the clinical symptoms.

External Application of Chinese Medicine following Tapping Using a Plum-blossom Needle for Allergic Rhinitis

Objective： To observe the clinical efficacy of external application of Chinese medicine following tapping using a plum-blossom needle for allergic rhinitis. Methods： All 328 cases were randomized into an observation group of 206 cases, Chinese medicine group of 70 cases and point application group of 52 cases. Results： The differences between the observation and Chinese medicine groups （P〈0.01） and between the observation and point application group （P〈0.05） were both of statistical meaning. The cases in the observation obtained the best effect, the point application group obtained a moderate effect and the Chinese medicine group obtained the least effect. A younger age and an increased number of treatments contributed to a better effect. Conclusion： External application of Chinese medicine following tapping using a plum-blossom needle is safe and effective for allergic rhinitis.
