Application of Chinese Medicine Nursing Techniques in the Sequelae of Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases: A Review

Sequelae of Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases (SPID) is a common and frequent disease in gynecology, which adversely affects women’s reproductive health and quality of life due to its prolonged course. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in China has gradually shown its clinical advantages in the treatment of SPID. Therefore, the present review summarizes the etiology and pathogenesis of SPID, the evidence typology, and the clinical application effects of moxibustion, herbal retention enema, acupoint compresses, external application of traditional Chinese medicine, auricular pressure beans, tuina massage, traditional Chinese medicine gongfu, and other commonly used Chinese medicine nursing techniques, with the aim of providing references and experiences for the subsequent related studies.

Effects of Wuwei Xiaodu Decoction on Uterine Energy Metabolism and Serum Inflammatory Factors in Rats with Acute Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

[Objectives]To observe the effects of Wuwei Xiaodu Decoction on uterine energy metabolism and serum inflammatory factors in the acute pelvic inflammatory disease(APID)model.[Methods]75 Wistar rats(females)were randomly divided into control group,model group and Wuwei Xiaodu Decoction low,medium and high dose groups(n=15).Except for the control group,the rat APID model was established by right uterine inoculation.On the fifth day after inoculation,the low,medium and high dose groups of Wuwei Xiaodu Decoction were administered at 4,8 and 16 g/kg,and the control group and model group received normal saline.Rats were killed 12 h after nondose administration,blood was collected from the abdominal aorta and measured by ELISA for serum interleukin-6(interleukin-6,IL-6),IL-8,and C-reactive proteins(CRP);the right uterus of rats was tested for high-energy phosphate adenosine phosphate(AMP),adenosine diphosphate(ADP),adenosine triphosphate(ATP)and total adenine nucleotides(TAN)level to evaluate the uterine energy metabolism.[Results]AMP,ADP,ATP and TAN were significantly higher in the Wuwei Xiaodu Decoction of low,medium and high dose than the model group,while the serum IL-6,IL-8 and CRP were significantly lower than the model group,and the difference between the low,medium and high doses(P<0.05).[Conclusions]The Wuwei Xiaodu Decoction can dose-dependent promote uterine energy metabolism and inhibit inflammatory response in APID model rats.

Ruptured teratoma mimicking a pelvic inflammatory disease and ovarian malignancy:A case report

BACKGROUND We report a case of ruptured ovarian teratoma mimicking pelvic inflammatory disease(PID)and ovarian malignancy.The case indicates the need for reviewing the information on ovarian teratomas,as the symptoms are vague,and,therefore,diagnosis and treatment had to be structured accordingly.CASE SUMMARY A 60-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with acute lower abdominal pain.She experienced weight loss and increased abdominal girth.Pelvic ultrasound and computed tomography revealed a 14-cm pelvic tumor.Laboratory examination revealed leukocytosis(white blood cell count:12620/μL,segment:87.7%)and high levels of C-reactive protein(18.2 mg/dL).Elevated levels of the tumor marker cancer antigen 19-9(367.8 U/mL,normal value<35 U/mL)were also noted.Due to the impression of a ruptured tuboovarian abscess or a tumor with malignancy,she immediately underwent an exploratory laparotomy.A ruptured ovarian tumor with fat balls,hair strands,cartilage,and yellowish fluid was observed on the right side.Right salpingooophorectomy was performed.A pathological examination revealed a mature cystic teratoma.The patient recovered after surgery and was discharged on postoperative day three.No antibiotics were administered.CONCLUSION This case illustrates the differential diagnosis of an ovarian tumor.Therefore,surgery is the mainstay for treating a ruptured teratoma.

How inflammation influences psychiatric disease

Recent studies highlight the strong correlation between infectious diseases and the development of neuropsychiatric disorders.In this editorial,we comment on the article“Anti-infective therapy durations predict psychological stress and laparoscopic surgery quality in pelvic abscess patients”by Zhang et al,published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Psychiatry 2023;13(11):903-911.Our discussion highlighted the potential consequences of anxiety,depression,and psychosis,which are all linked to bacterial,fungal,and viral infections,which are relevant to the impact of inflammation on the sequelae in mental health as those we are observing after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.We focus specifically on the immune mechanisms triggered by inflammation,the primary contributor to psychiatric complications.Importantly,pathophysiological mechanisms such as organ damage,post-injury inflammation,and infectioninduced endocrine alterations,including hypocortisolism or autoantibody formation,significantly contribute to the development of chronic low-grade inflammation,promoting the emergence or development of psychiatric alterations in susceptible individuals.As inflammation can have long-term effects on patients,a multidisciplinary treatment plan can avoid complications and debilitating health issues,and it is crucial to recognize and address the mental health implications.

Application of Preventive Treatment Theory in the Treatment of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

With a history of more than two thousand years, the theory of preventative treatment has been closely followed by the development of modern medical theories on the basis of inheritance by medical experts in the past dynasties, which has been constantly improved and enriched, and deeply applied in the prevention and treatment of serious and multiple diseases. It has achieved great benefits. For women with gynecological diseases, pelvic inflammatory disease patients accounted for a large proportion. Due to the lack of specificity in diagnosis and treatment, the condition is lingering and difficult to cure, so it seriously reduces the quality of life of women, thus affecting the harmony of family and society. From the perspective of prevention, according to the characteristics of each stage of the disease, this paper put forward substantive prevention suggestions and targeted treatment methods, ensuring preventing before disease, preventing progress after disease, and preventing reoccurring after recovery. It has important practical significance for the prevention and treatment of pelvic inflammatory diseases, as well as the development and inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine.

Functional gastrointestinal disorders in inflammatory bowel disease: Time for a paradigm shift?

Recent advances in biological therapies have revolutionalised and redefined treatment targets in inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).There is now a stronger emphasis on achieving the more stringent therapeutic goals of mucosal and histological healing,rather than clinical remission alone.Consequently,the treatment of refractory“functional”gastrointestinal symptoms,often attributed as the aftermath of previous inflammation,has recently become more prominent in quiescent disease.With further expected advances in anti-inflammatory treatments on the horizon,the burden of such symptoms in quiescent disease,which have been relatively neglected,is set to become an even bigger problem.In this article,we highlight the current state of research and understanding in this field,including recent developments and clinical practice guidelines on the diagnosis and management of functional gastrointestinal symptoms,such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional anorectal and pelvic floor disorders,in patients with quiescent IBD.These disorders are not only highly prevalent in these patients,they are often misdiagnosed,and are difficult to treat,with very few evidence-based therapies.Moreover,they are associated with substantial impairment in quality-of-life,considerable morbidity,and psychological distress.There is therefore an urgent need for a change in emphasis towards earlier recognition,positive diagnosis,and targeted treatment for patients with ongoing functional gastrointestinal symptoms in the absence of active IBD.This article also highlights the need for further research to develop much needed evidence-based therapies.
