Effect of acupuncture plus thunder-fire moxibustion on MMP-3, TIMP-1 and TGF-β1 in rats with knee osteoarthritis

Objective： To observe the effect of acupuncture plus thunder-fire moxibustion on the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-3 （MMP-3）, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 （TIMP-1） and transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1） in cartilage of knee osteoarthritis （KOA） rats, and to explore the mechanism of acupuncture plus thunder-fire moxibustion in the treatment of KOA. Methods： Thirty Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a blank control group, a model group and an acupuncture-moxibustion group by random digits table, 10 rats in each group. Rats in the model group and the acupuncture-moxibustion group were injected with papain in the right posterior knee joint to prepare the models. The levels of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in rat synovium of each group were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELBA） after 2 weeks of treatment. The level of TGF-β1 was determined by Motic B5 Micro-camera system. Results： The levels of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in the cartilage of the model group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group （all P〈0.01）; the levels of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in the acupuncture-moxibustion group were lower than those in the model group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant （all P〈0.05）. The levels of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in the acupuncture-moxibustion group were higher than those in the blank control group, and the differences were statistically significant （all P〈0.05）. The level of TGF-β1 in cartilage tissues of the model group was significantly lower than that in the blank control group （P〈0.01）; the level of TGF-β1 in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was higher than that in the model group （P〈0.05）, but it was lower than that in the blank control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus thunder-fire moxibustion can effectively recover the abnormal expressions of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in KOA model rats and somewhat up-regulate TGF-β1, which may be one of its mechanisms of acupuncture plus thunder-fire for KOA.

Observation on therapeutic efficacy of thunder-fire moxibustion for hypomenorrhea after induced abortion

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of thunder-fire moxibustion for hypomenorrhea after induced abortion.Methods:A total of 74 patients with hypomenorrhea after induced abortion were randomized into two groups,with 37 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional hormone sequential therapy,and the observation group was treated with thunder-fire moxibustion.The course of treatment was 3 menstrual cycles.The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom scores,menstrual volume,endometrial thickness and the sex hormone levels were observed before and after treatment.The clinical efficacy was compared after treatment.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group and the control group was 91.4%and 73.5%,respectively,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the TCM symptom scores in both groups decreased significantly(all P<0.05),and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The menstrual volume,endometrial thickness and each sex hormone level of the patients in both groups were significantly improved after treatment(all P<0.05),and the improvements in the observation group were more significant than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Thunder-fire moxibustion can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients with hypomenorrhea after induced abortion;it can increase menstrual volume and endometrial thickness,and regulate the sex hormone levels,producing a better curative effect than the conventional hormone sequential therapy.

目的探讨冠心病心力衰竭(HF)患者采用保元逐瘀护心汤、雷火灸联合西药治疗的临床效果。方法选取2021年9月至2024年3月濮阳市中医院收治的120例冠心病HF患者,以随机数字表法分成研究组(n=60)与对照组(n=60),对照组采用常规西药治疗,研究组采用保元逐瘀护心汤、雷火灸联合西药治疗,比较两组临床疗效、中医证候积分、心功能指标、N-末端B型脑钠肽前体(NT-proBNP)、运动耐力及不良反应。结果研究组(96.67%)治疗有效率较高于对照组(81.67%),差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组治疗后中医证候积分下降,且研究组低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组治疗后左心室舒张末期内径(LVEDD)、左心室收缩末期内径(LVESD)下降,且研究组低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组治疗后NT-proBNP水平下降,且研究组低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组治疗后6 min步行试验(6MWT)步行距离增加,且研究组高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);研究组不良反应发生率(1.67%)与对照组(5.00%)比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论冠心病HF患者采用保元逐瘀护心汤、雷火灸联合西药治疗,能够提高临床疗效,降低血清NT-proBNP水平,改善心功能,提高运动耐力,安全性较高。

雷火灸结合三伏贴治疗寒凝血瘀型冠心病心绞痛的临床效果

目的 分析雷火灸结合三伏贴治疗寒凝血瘀型冠心病心绞痛的临床效果,以期为临床该病的治疗提供参考依据。方法 选取2021年6月至2022年8月河南中医药大学第一附属医院收治的92例寒凝血瘀型冠心病心绞痛患者,随机分为两组,对照组应用三伏贴和瓜蒌薤白白酒汤,观察组在对照组的基础上应用雷火灸结合三伏贴治疗。干预前,干预1周后采用中医证候评分、西雅图心绞痛量表进行评价。结果 治疗后,两组1周内心绞痛发作次数、每次发作持续时间比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组胸痛胸闷、心悸、畏寒肢冷、气短乏力、倦怠懒言、失眠多梦评分低于对照组(P<0.05);观察组治疗后西雅图心绞痛量表各维度评分高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论 雷火灸结合三伏贴治疗有助于改善寒凝血瘀型冠心病心绞痛患者临床症状,促进患者恢复。
