Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide high-quality evidence to support the effectiveness of the traditional Chinese hot and humid compress in the treatment of LDH with qi stagnation and blood stasis. Methods: From October 2021 to November 2023, 86 patients with LDH of qi stagnation and blood stasis type were recruited in our hospital and divided into a control (n = 43) and an observation group (n = 43) according to the random number table method. The control group was given routine clinical treatment, and the observation group was treated with the hot and humid compress therapy for two weeks. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, TCM syndrome score, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were observed and compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated. Results: After treatment, the VAS score, TCM symptom score, and serum IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels decreased in both groups (P P P P P Conclusions: The hot and humid compress of traditional Chinese medicine can effectively relieve pain, restore lumbar function, improve TCM syndromes, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, and have a curative effect in treating LDH.展开更多

The study of tumor metastasis has important meaning for prolonging patients＇ survival and elevating their quality of life, but no really ideal prevention and treatment method has been found so far. Recent researches showed that tumor metastasis is correlated with platelet aggregation and blood hyperviscosity manner. Therefore, the early application of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biological therapies, in combination with Chinese medicine therapy for activating blood circulation and removing stasis （ABCRS） may be, after all, an effective approach. ABCRS therapy is an important therapy of Chinese medicine, which, composed of several methods like smoothening blood flow in vessels, promoting blood circulation and dispersing stagnant blood, could influence tumor metastasis to different extents, and could coordinate with some other Chinese medicine therapeutic methods like supplementing qi, promoting qi, clearing heat, removing toxic substances, warming meridian, dispelling wind, eliminating dampness, nourishing yin, dissolving sputum, relieving stagnancy, emptying viscerals, etc. The effect and acting mechanism of ABCRS on tumor metastasis is summarized in this paper and its bi-directional regulatory effects discussed as well.展开更多

Methods： Seventy-two patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group by using the random number table, 36 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy, while the control group was intervened by oral administration of estazolam. One-week treatment was taken as a course, for 3 successive courses in total. A follow-up study was conducted 3 months later. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI） was evaluated before and after the intervention, as well as in the follow-up. The clinical efficacies were also compared. Results： The total effective rate was 88.9% in the treatment group versus 83.3% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant （P〈0.O5）. After the intervention, the PSO.I scores dropped significantly in both groups （both P〈0.05）; the between-group difference in PSQI score was statistically significant （P〈O.05）. The follow-up study showed that the between-group difference in the global score of PSO, I was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy can produce a more significant efficacy than oral administration of estazolam in treating insomnia in people with blood stasis constitution.展开更多

Methods： A total of 32 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, based on the random digits table, including a normal group, a model group, a moxibustion along the meridian group, and a moxibustion against the meridian group, with 8 rats in each group. Except the normal group, the other 3 groups were used to make the rat models with blood stasis due to cold retention. Rats in the moxibustion along and against the meridian groups accepted moxibustion therapy in different directions on the trunk segment of the Bladder Meridian after successful modeling. Moxibustion for 10 min every day, and 7 d as a course of treatment. Two courses of treatment（a total of 14 d） were carried out. Quantitative score of signs and symptoms change was observed once a week, with a total of 7 times. Hemorheological indexes of rats were detected when the treatment finished. Results： The quantitative scores of signs and symptoms in the model, moxibustion along the meridian and against the meridian groups were significantly higher than those in the normal group after modeling（P〈0.05）. When the treatment finished, the quantitative score of signs and symptoms in the model group was significantly higher than that in the normal group（P〈0.05）; the quantitative scores of signs and symptoms of rats in the moxibustion along and against the meridian groups were significantly lower than that in the model group（P〈0.05）; the quantitative score of signs and symptoms in the moxibustion along the meridian group was significantly lower than that in the moxibustion against the meridian group（P〈0.05）; the whole blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation index in the model group were significantly higher than those in the normal group（P〈0.05）, however the increases of erythrocyte hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were not obvious（P〈0.05）; whole blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation index in the moxibustion along and against the meridian groups were significantly lower than those in the model group（P〈0.05）, while there were no statistically significant differences between the moxibustion along the meridian group and moxibustion against the meridian group（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Moxibustion along and against the meridian both showed different degrees of improvement for hemorrheology and symptoms of blood stasis due to cold retention. Improvement for symptoms of blood stasis due to cold retention was better in the moxibustion along the meridian group than that in the moxibustion against the meridian group. The influence on rat hemorrheology showed no significant difference between moxibustion along the meridian and moxibustion against the meridian.展开更多
