Effects of Equilibrium Therapy Exercise on Dysmenorrhea in Nursing Students

The purpose of this pre-experimental research （one-group pretest-posttest design） was to study the ettects ot the 4 Basics Exercise Model on dysmenorrhea for structural equilibrium changes in nursing students at Phachomklao College of Nursing, Phetchaburi Province, who were divided the 4 Basics Exercise Model for dysmenorrhea into pre- and post-test experimental groups. The sample group was composed of 31 persons, using the 4 Basics Exercise Model over three months for 30 minutes per day on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Data were collected on personal information, dysmenorrhea pain scores, and satisfaction in the 4 Basics Exercise Model for dysmenorrhea records. According to the research findings, the level of dysmenorrhea pain was significantly decreased in the experimental group for one, two, and three months post-exercise. In addition, the comparison of decreases in the dysmenorrhea pain of experimental group was significantly different at two and three months post-exercise at .01. The exception was at one month post-exercise when there was no statistically significant difference. According to the findings of the study, the 4 Basics Exercise Model for dysmenorrhea effectively decreased dysmenorrhea and the duration of menstrual periods with improving signs of menstruation. Therefore, nurses who provide gynecological care should learn and have knowledge regarding the 4 Basics Exercise Model to help relieve menstrual pain.

ACUPUNCTURE FOR PRI MARY DYSMENORRHEA──A meta-analysis

Recent literature search showed that up to now there are a total of 9 theses abo ut clinical treatment of primary dysmenorrhea with acupuncture therapy, among th em 5 clinical trials are from Chinese journals and the rest 4 from foreign journals.

Progress of research on massage therapy for sub-health conditions

Sub-health state is a kind of low-quality state between health and disease, and will lead to disease if not intervened in time. As one of the external treatment options in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), massage therapy has achieved an ideal curative effect in the treatment of the sub-health state. This paper summarizes the articles on massage treatment for the treatment of patients in the sub-health state from the past decade. It mainly includes the current understanding of sub-health, treatment ideas and specific methods, as well as clinical classification of treatment modalities. From the perspective of treatment ideas and specific methods, most massage therapies are performed under the guidance of the holistic concept of TCM, and the concept of treatment based on syndrome differentiation (four diagnostic methods of TCM: inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation). In this treatment, not only are the therapeutic functions of meridians and acupoints emphasized, but the selection of the therapeutic time is also performed according to the "Ziwuliuzhu" and the "Lingguibafa"(the acupuncture method based on time in ancient China). According to the different clinical symptoms of sub-health, it can be divided into three types: physical sub-health, psychological sub-health, and social adaptive sub-health. Massage therapy eliminates pain, relieves physical fatigue, and has a good therapeutic effect on physical sub-health. It can alleviate anxiety and depression, promote psychosomatic pleasure of patients, and has a satisfactory regulatory effect on the psychological sub-health symptoms. However, basic research on using modern medical theories and the means to explain its mechanism of action is relatively weak. Therefore, only constantly improving the quality of clinical observation and strengthening basic research can provide more and better evidence for the clinical application of massage therapy in treating the symptoms of the sub-health status.

Brief introduction to the historical development and therapeutic effects of cupping therapy in traditional Chinese medicine

Cupping therapy (CT) is an ancient traditional and complementary medicine practice. Recently, there has been a growing evidence of its potential benefits in the treatment of various diseases. The CT has been constantly developing with the emergence of various modern and improved cupping devices. It is now evident that cupping could adjust the Qi, blood, Yin and Yang, dredge the meridian, as well as relieve the effect of illness, achieve fitness and relative equilibrium of Yin-Yang. It exerts its effects through the negative pressure suction via the mechanical and thermal stimulations, and the negative pressure effects induced by cupping. This article gives an overview of CT practice, its historical development, as well as its therapeutic effects and mechanism. Furthermore, a new and updated classification of CT was briefly introduced.

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Qiangxin Decoction Combined with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

OBJECTIVE: To explore the echocardiographic evaluation of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) after Qiangxin Decoction combined with cardiac resynchronization therapy. METHODS: A total of 140 CHF patients admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into combined group (Qiangxin Decoction and cardiac resynchronization, n = 70) and routine group (cardiac resynchronization, n = 70), and they were treated for 2 courses (16 weeks), with 8 weeks as a course. The improvement of heart function classification (HYHA) was observed before and after treatment, and the therapeutic effects were evaluated according to the improvement of heart function classification (markedly effective, effective, invalid, and worsening). The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic criteria was the main symptoms (0 to 6 points), secondary symptoms (0 to 3 points), tongue picture (0 to 1 point) and pulse condition (0 to 1 point), and the higher the score was, the more obvious the symptoms were. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac output (CO) were observed and recorded according to the heart color ultrasound before and after treatment. And the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was used to evaluate the life quality before and after treatment, and the highest score of the scale was 105 points. The higher the score was, the obvious the symptoms were, and the worse the life quality was. And the adverse reactions were recorded in the 2 groups. RESULTS: After the treatment, the total effective rate in the routine group was significantly lower than that in the combined group (75.71% vs . 94.30%), and there was statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). After the treatment, the TCM syndrome score in the routine group was higher than that in the combined group ((14.37±3.59) points vs.(10.53±3.11) points), and there was statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). After the treatment, the levels of LVEDD and LVESD in the routine group were higher than those in the combined group, and there were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The levels of LVEF and CO in the routine group were lower than those in the combined group, and there were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). After the treatment, the score of MLHFQ scale in the routine group was higher than that in the combined group ((57.38±8.53) points vs.(46.39±7.14) points), and there was statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Qiangxin Decoction combined with cardiac resynchronization therapy has good echocardiographic evaluation in patients with chronic heart failure.
