It can cause a terrible pain. The author has treated 66 cases by massotherapy, who were confirmatively diagnosed as having protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral disc by X-ray film and computer-aided tomography, with satisfactory results as reported in the following.Clinical DataAmong the 66 cases in this series, 49 were male and 17 female, ranging in age from 26 to 59 years, averaging 36.2 years. All the patients had got lumbago and unilateral ischialgia, with the left side affected in 37 cases and the right side in 29 cases. The leg pain radiating to lateral malleolus was found in 28 cases, to dorsum of the foot in 24 cases, and to the toes in 14 cases. Intermittent claudication was present in 22 cases, numbness of the affected foot in 16 cases, pain exacerbated when coughing in 35 cases, scoliosis in 21 cases, and positive Lasegue's sign in 48 cases.展开更多

The results showed that the cure rate in the treatment group was 83.9%, and that in the control group was 57.1%, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01), indicating that the former is a more effective therapy for protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral disc.展开更多

Methods： A comprehensive analysis was made by a method of metrological analysis according to the data from ＂China modem acupuncture-moxibustion information databank＂. Results： Points Huantiao （GB 30）, Weizhong （BL 40）, Yanglingquan （GB 34）, and Jiaji （Ex-B 2） were most frequently used. Acupuncture was the most frequently used therapy and electroacupuncture, the next one. Conclusion： Electroacupuncture is a common and effective way to treat lumbar intervertebral disk herniation. Points Huantiao （GB 30）, Weizhong （BL 40）, Yanglingquan （GB 34）, and Jiaji （Ex-B 2） can be used as a basic prescription for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of lumbar intervertebral disk herniation. Other acupoints are selected according to the syndrome.展开更多

Method： All 200 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group （100 cases） and a control group （100 cases）. Cases in the observation group were treated with electric acupuncture. Cases in the control group were treated with oral administration of Mobic. Result： The total effective rate in the observation group was 86.5%, and the total effective rate of the control group was 75.0%. There was a significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Electric acupuncture is a safe and remarkably effective way for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.展开更多

Several studies been conducted to investigate the potential asso- ciation between IDD and FokI polymorphism located in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor （VDR）, and inconsistent conclusions had been reached among different ethnic populations. In order to assess the association between the FokI polymorphism and the risk of IDD, we performed a comprehensive and systematic meta-analysis. Candidate articles were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）, and China Biology Medical （CBM） with strict inclusion criteria in January 2015. Among the 54 articles that were retrieved, only eight studies met the inclusion criteria. The pooled data analysis based on allele contrast, homozy- gore, heterozygote, dominant, and recessive models revealed no significant correlation between the FokI polymorphism and the risk of IDD. However, when stratified by ethnicity, significant associ- ations were detected for Hispanics based on allele contrast （OR = 1.395, 95% CI = 1.059-1.836, P = 0.018）, homozygote （OR = 1.849, 95% CI = 1.001-3.416, P = 0.049）, heterozygote （OR = 1.254, 95% CI = 1.049-1.498, P = 0.013）, and dominant （OR = 1.742, 95% CI = 1.174-2.583, P = 0.006） models, and for Asians using the dominant model （OR = 1.293, 95% CI = 1.025-1.632, P --- 0.030）, whereas there is no significant association detected for Caucasians. In conclusion, FokI polymorpbism is not generally associated with IDD, but there is increased risk for IDD in Hispanics and Asians carrying FokI allele T.展开更多
