Methods: A total of 57 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis in Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2019 to May 2021 were collected, and they were divided into qi stagnation and blood stasis type group (23 cases) and cold-dampness obstruction type group (34 cases) according to the traditional Chinese medicine method. All patients were given acupuncture combined with TCM fumigation and washing. All patients underwent musculoskeletal ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography before and after treatment, observed and recorded relevant data, and compared the treatment effects between the two groups. Results: 85.96% (49/57) of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients had suprapatellar bursa effusion, 42.1% (24/57) had iliotibial band bursae effusion, some of which had poor sound transmission, and thickened synovium was seen in most effusions, 33.33% (19/57) had osteophyte formation. Compared with before treatment, the depth of suprapatellar sac effusion in the Qi stagnation and blood stasis type group decreased after treatment (P Conclusion: Musculoskeletal contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was used to quantitatively evaluate the efficacy of TCM external therapy on KOA for different TCM constitutions. Dynamic observation of synovial lesions of knee osteoarthritis provides a valuable imaging method for evaluating the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine.展开更多
目的:观察化瘀温经汤结合桂枝茯苓胶囊治疗寒凝血瘀型子宫内膜异位症的疗效及对血清基质金属蛋白酶-3(MMP-3)、转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)、前列腺素F2α(PGF2α)以及抗子宫内膜抗体(EMAb)水平的影响。方法:回顾性分析2021年7月~2023年7...目的:观察化瘀温经汤结合桂枝茯苓胶囊治疗寒凝血瘀型子宫内膜异位症的疗效及对血清基质金属蛋白酶-3(MMP-3)、转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)、前列腺素F2α(PGF2α)以及抗子宫内膜抗体(EMAb)水平的影响。方法:回顾性分析2021年7月~2023年7月医院收治的78例寒凝血瘀型子宫内膜异位症患者的临床数据,根据治疗方案不同将患者分为对照组( n =37)及观察组( n =41)。对照组给予常规西药治疗,观察组在此基础上采用化瘀温经汤联合桂枝茯苓胶囊方案。对两组治疗前后的疼痛情况、生活质量、MMP-3、TGF-β、PGF2α及EMAb水平进行比较,并记录治疗期间患者不良反应发生率。结果:治疗后,对照组总有效率低于观察组( P <0.05);相较于对照组,治疗后观察组的简氏麦吉尔疼痛问卷[疼痛分级指数(PRI)、视觉模拟评分法(VAS)、现有疼痛强度(PPI)]及子宫内膜异位症生存质量量表(EHP-5)得分均显著降低( P <0.05);相较于对照组,治疗后观察组的血清MMP-3、TGF-β、PGF2α及EMAb水平均明显降低( P <0.05);对照组不良反应发生率与观察组比较,差异无统计学意义( P >0.05)。结论:化瘀温经汤结合桂枝茯苓胶囊方案对寒凝血瘀型子宫内膜异位症患者具有显著疗效,能够缓解疼痛,提升患者生活质量,调节血清MMP-3、TGF-β、PGF2α、EMAb水平,且具有较好的安全性。展开更多
