Objective To observe the results of melatonin combined with alprostadil in the treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis.Methods Seventy patients with acute pancreatitis were included in the study,14 patients died after conventional treatment were set to group Ⅰ ,28 patients cured after conventional treatment were set to group Ⅱ and 28 cases cured after melatonin combined with alprostadil and conventional treatment were set to group Ⅲ.White blood cell count,blood gas analysis,serum amylase,endotoxin and malondialdehyde (MDA) content was detected at 6 h,48 h and 4 d.Results White blood cell count,serum amylase,endotoxin,MDA content at 6 h,48 h and 4 d in group Ⅰ were higher than those in group Ⅱ ,Ⅲ (P<0.05).Endotoxin levels reached a maximum in the 4 d [(273.5 ± 20.4) pg/L],and MDA content reached a maximum in the 4 d [(5.12 ± 0.87) μmol/L].White blood cell count,partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery (PaCO2),serum amylase,endotoxin and MDA content at 48 h,4 d in group Ⅲ were lower than those in group Ⅰ,Ⅱ (P <0.05).Conclusions Melatonin combined with alprostadil not only shows antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,anti-apoptotic effect but also improves the pancreas,lung,small intestine microcirculation,protects the cell membrane and the lysosomal membrane,and prevents effectively the pancreatic digestive enzymes release; also it inhibits intestinal bacterial translocation,reduces the generation of gut-derived endotoxin and pro-inflammatory cytokine release.It can reduce effectively the systemic inflammatory response in acute pancreatitis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of heat sensitive moxibustion plus herbal hot compress for primary dysmenorrhea. Methods Ninety patients with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly allocated to a treatment and a control group, with 45 patients in each group. The treatment group was treated with heat sensitive moxibustion plus herbal hot compress, and the control group received ibuprofen (slow-release capsule) for three menstrual cycles. Results At the end of the first menstrual cycle, the total instant effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (95.6%vs. 82.2%;χ2=4.050, P<0.05);at the end of the third menstrual cycle, healing rate (66.7% vs. 35.6%; χ2=8.720, P<0.05), total effective rate (97.8%vs. 80.0%;χ2=7.200, P<0.05) in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group;at 6 months follow-up, the relapse rate in the treatment group were significantly lower than that in the control group (6.7% vs. 43.8%; χ2=4.050, P<0.05).
