In view of the rich experiences and new advances in TCM treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, it is very promising to find a further breakthough in the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Treating the disease by means of differentiation of symptoms and signs is a distinctive feature of TCM, however the difficult and also the major point would be the research of mechanism of its symptomatology. The following is a summary of the advances in the study of symptomatology, especially its epidemiology, the role of immune system and blood rheology made since 1987 when the ARA criteria1 was published.……展开更多

Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (补中益气汤Decoction for Reinforcing the Middle-jiao and Replenishing Qi) is an effective formulated recipe commonly used for treating a variety of diseases with the manifestations of kidney-qi deficiency.

Methods Sixty-one cases of dysarthria were randomly divided into two groups. The observation group （30 cases） was treated with speech therapy and acupuncture at major acupoints Lianquan （廉泉 CV 23）, Jinjin （金津 EX-HN 12）, Yuye （玉夜 EX-HN 13）, Fengchi（风池 GB 20）, Yifeng （翳风 TE 17） and Wangu（完骨 GB 12）, and the control group （31 cases） was treated with speech therapy only. The changes of speech and acoustical indices were evaluated after 9 weeks treatment. Results The word articulation and the correct rate of writings in the two groups were significantly increased after treatment （both P〈0.01）. The total effective rate of 96.7%（29/30） in the observation group was superior to that of 67.7%（21/31） in the control group （P〈0.01）. The maximum phonation time （MPT） tested by a phonolaryngeal aeromechanical analyzer was significantly prolonged in both the observation group （12 cases） and the control group （11 cases） （both P〈0.01）, the improvement in the observation group being more obvious （P〈0.01）. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with speech therapy can improve the speech and acoustic level in the patient of dysarthria.展开更多
