Abstract:
Objective To analyze the curative effect of acupuncture at Gongsun, Sifeng combined with visceral acupoint tapping in children with mesenteric lymphadenitis (type of gastrointestinal heat accumulation), and its influence on serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Methods A total of 60 children with mesenteric lymphadenitis (type of gastrointestinal heat accumulation) were selected, and were divided into control group (
n =30, conventional treatment combined with acupuncture at Gongsun and Sifeng acupoints) and study group (n =30, visceral acupoint tapping on the basis of the control group) according to the random number table method. The clinical efficacy, changes of main symptoms and signs were compared, and the expression levels of serum I-FABP and VIP were detected. Results The total effective rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group(P < 0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, the serum I-FABP levels of the two groups were lower than that before treatment, and the serum I-FABP level of the study group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, the serum VIP levels of the two groups were higher than that before treatment, and the serum VIP level of the study group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, the improvement of main symptoms and signs in the study group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture at Gongsun and Sifeng combined with visceral acupoint tapping can be used to treat children with mesenteric lymphadytis (gastrointestinal heat accumulation type), regulate and improve gastrointestinal function, adjust the level of serum I-FABP and VI, and relieve the main symptoms and signs of children, and can be used as an effective therapeutic method.
