Clinical effects of a traditional Chinese medicine nursing programme to intervene in gastric pain of the spleen and stomach with Qi deficiency

BACKGROUND Gastroparesis is a common digestive disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying,which can lead to symptoms such as nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,and poor appetite.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been used for centuries to treat gastrointestinal disorders,including gastroparesis.TCM theory suggests that spleen and stomach qi deficiency syndrome is one of the main pathogenic factors in gastroparesis.Nursing care plays an important role in the treatment of gastroparesis,and TCM nursing interventions have shown promising results in improving patient outcomes.However,there is limited research on the clinical effectiveness of TCM nursing interventions for gastroparesis with spleen stomach deficiency syndrome.This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of TCM nursing intervention in the treatment of gastroparesis with spleen stomach deficiency syndrome and to compare it with routine nursing interventions.AIM To analyze the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention in the treatment of gastric paraplegia with spleen stomach deficiency syndrome.METHODS From January 2020 to July 2021,80 patients with gastroparesis of spleen stomach qi deficiency type diagnosed in our hospital were selected for the study.The 80 patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group,with 40 cases in each group.During the treatment period,the control group received routine nursing interventions,while the experimental group received traditional Chinese medicine nursing procedures.Compare the nursing effects of the two groups and observe the changes in traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores,pain levels,and sleep quality before and after treatment.RESULTS After treatment,comparing the treatment effects of the two groups,the total effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the TCM symptom score,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).However,after treatment,the TCM syndrome scores,VAS scores,and PSQI scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).CONCLUSION In the clinical nursing intervention of patients with mild gastroparesis due to spleen and stomach qi deficiency,the traditional Chinese medicine nursing plan has good clinical application value and nursing effect,and has a good effect on improving patients’pain and sleep quality.

Study on the Resolving Phlegm Effect of D-Limonene in Mice with Spleen Deficiency and Phlegm-Dampness Syndrome

Objective:According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory,spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome(SDPDS)are caused by abnormal water metabolism in the body because of spleen dysfunction.The purpose of this article was to evaluate the efficacy of D-limonene(DL)in resolving phlegm in mice with SDPDS from the perspective of regulating the level of aquaporin 3(AQP3).Methods:The model of SDPDS was induced in mice using the multifactor modeling method,which combines internal and external dampness.An artificial climate box was used to create a humid environment,whereas the irregular diet was caused by different feeding methods on odd-even days.The mice were divided into blank control,model group,DL low-dose,DL high-dose,and positive groups.The mice were modeled and treated for 7 day.Levels of gastrin and amylase(AMS)in the serum,mucus secretion in the trachea,and AQP3 in the tissue near the gastric cardia.Results:DL significantly reduced mucus secretion in the trachea(P<0.001).It also increased the level of AMS in the serum(P<0.01)and decreased the level of AQP3 in the gastric tissue(P<0.01).Conclusions:Mice with SDPDS exhibited disturbed water metabolism and significantly increased AQP3 levels.DL can restore the levels of AQP3 and plays an important role in resolving phlegm.This study may also help expand the efficacy of natural drugs containing DL and improve the utilization of natural drug resources.

Clinical observation of acupuncture and moxibustion for functional dyspepsia due to Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion for functional dyspepsia(FD)due to Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach.Methods A total of 90 patients meeting the inclusion criteria of FD due to Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group,an electroacupuncture(EA)group,and a mosapride group by the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The mosapride group was treated with mosapride citrate dispersible tablets.The EA group was treated with EA treatment.The acupuncture-moxibustion group was treated with additional moxibustion therapy based on the treatment in the EA group.All three groups took 10 d as one treatment course and 2 courses in total,with a 2-day interval between two courses.The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptoms score,functional digestive disorder quality of life questionnaire(FDDQL)score,oral-colon transit time(OCTT),and serum glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)level was compared before and after treatment among the three groups.And the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results The total effective rate in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was 96.7%,which was higher than 86.7%in the EA group and 73.3%in the mosapride group,and the total effective rate in the EA group was higher than that in the mosapride group;the inter-group differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the TCM symptom score in the three groups was lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the FDDQL score was higher than that before treatment(P<0.05).The change after treatment in the TCM symptom score in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was more significant than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was more significant than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The change after treatment in the FDDQL score in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was greater than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was larger than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the OCTT in all three groups was lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the serum GLP-1 level was higher than that before treatment(P<0.05);the change after treatment in the OCTT in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was more significant than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was more significant than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The change after treatment in the serum GLP-1 level in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was greater than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was larger than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the clinical symptoms in patients with FD and enhance their quality of life,producing better effects than EA or mosapride alone.Shortening gastrointestinal movement time and increasing gastrointestinal hormone levels may be its mechanism.

刘小斌运用麻附细辛汤合甘草干姜汤加减治疗先天性肌无力综合征经验

先天性肌无力综合征(congenital myasthenia syndrome,CMS)为临床罕见的遗传性肌病。CMS患者虽与重症肌无力患者的症状相似,均有肌无力、易疲劳等症,但CMS为先天禀赋不足疾病,以肾元亏损为本,而重症肌无力为后天失养疾病,故在辨治侧重上有所区别。刘小斌教授认为,CMS的中医病机特点为“先天不足,肾元亏损”“脾胃虚损,五脏相关”,属于中医“痿病”范畴;根据患者不易出汗、舌淡红苔白、脉细的病症表现,可辨为脾肾阳虚兼寒邪束表证(少阴太阴兼太阳证);治疗可采用温阳补肾、健脾益损法,常以麻附细辛汤合甘草干姜汤加减,可酌加桑螵蛸、紫河车等益精养血之品,可获显效。

《脾胃论》提出了“内伤脾胃,百病由生”的认识,以此为理论基础探讨糖尿病泌汗异常病机演变及辨证治疗。认为本病的发展为饮食劳役,先伤脾胃,导致元气亏损,阴火上行,进而营卫失和,阳损及阴,致汗出异常。治疗上应当注重糖尿病的治疗,兼顾汗证。食疗为先,重用甘味,补阳泻火,平衡气火。明确糖尿病泌汗异常与中焦脾胃功能的密切关系,以期提高临床辨证论治疗效。

Interleukin-12 and interferon-γacting on damp-heat of spleen-stomach syndrome triggered by helicobacter pylori

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of and interleukin-12(IL-12) and interferon-γ(IFN-γ) in relation to the pathology of damp-heat of spleen-stomach syndrome(DHSS) induced by Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection.METHODS: In total, 114 individual gastric mucosal specimens including 83 DHSS, 19 spleen-qi deficiency syndrome(SQD) and 12 from healthy volunteers(CON) were collected by gastroscopy. To explore the relationship between the two syndromes and H. pylori infection, individual samples were tested using rapid urease and methylene blue tests. Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections were examined to grade for the degree of inflammation and inflammatory activity, and expression of IL-12 and IFN-γ was investigated by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: Statistically significant differences in the degree of inflammation and inflammatory activity were observed between the groups of specimens:DHSS, SQD and CON(P < 0.05). Additionally, greater intestinal metaplasia(IM) and dysplasia were observed in the DHSS group, especially those with H.pylori infection. Expression of both IFN-γ and IL-12 was higher in DHSS samples infected with H. pylori than in uninfected samples and in the CON(P <0.05) but not in the SQD(P > 0.05) groups. Intriguingly, in gastric specimens exhibiting IM and dysplasia, IL-12 translocated from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that IL-12 and IFN-γ are involved in DHSS pathology, but not in SQD, acting as healthy-Qi. DHSS is not just the consequence of those two cytokines but results from the cross-talk between a number of cytokines and/or other proteins, which may warrant further investigation in DHSS patients infected with H. pylori.
