Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of "dispersing lung-qi and relieving asthma, warming Yang to induce diuresis" method on CPHD patients during acute period with peripheral edema and observe the effect on ADH. Methods The CPHD patients during acute period with peripheral edema were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment group received Chinese medicine adding to regular western medicine, the principle is dispersing lung-qi and relieving asthma, resolving phlegm to stop coughing, warming Yang to induce diuresis. The control group received placebo adding to regular western medicine. Both of the groups were treated for 14 days. The effect observed indexes were as follows:general curative effect, integral of main symptoms of TCM, integral of western medical signs, serum electrolyte, etc. Mechanism index was about ADH. Results The treatment group had better effects than the control group on the general curative effect, reducing integral of symptoms and signs, rectifying electrolyte and acid-alkaline-balance disturbances, etc. The safety analysis of two groups had no significant abnormality. Meanwhile, the treatment group had more superiority than the control group on reducing serum ADH. Conclusion The comprehensive treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine probably has more advantage in increasing the general effect, improving symptoms and signs, rectifying electrolyte and acid-alkaline-balance disturbances, etc. This therapeutic method can restrain secretion of ADH. It indicates that restraining secretion of ADH maybe part of the mechanism of using "dispersing lung-qi and relieving asthma, warming Yang to induce diuresis" method to treat CPHD patient during acute period with peripheral edema.

Objective To observe the influence of diabetes educationon the treatment compliance and quality of life (QOL) of diabetics and to find out the influencing factors of diabetics' QOL. Methods This study applied the questionnaire of compliance and the SF-36 to make an investigation on diabetics. Ninety diabetics who participated in the course of diabetes education during the period from October 2008 to March 2009, and 205 diabetics who were seen in the first affiliated hospital of China Medical Universitybut never participated in the course of diabetes education during the period from September to October of 2008. By comparing the data with control group and using self-paired comparison, the influence of diabetes education on the treatment compliance and the QOL of diabetics was studied. The factors influencing the QOL of each dimension were analyzed by means of single or multiple regressions. Results The treatment compliance of patients was improved with the number of times that these patients participated diabetes education was increased (P<0.05). The treatment compliance of the patients in hospital who had not participated in diabetes education was improved temporarily. However, 2 weeks after these patients were discharged the treatment compliance of these patients had began to decline. The treatment compliance would be declined if patients discontinued participating education for a long time. After 24 weeks intevention, the total score of compliance of intervention group (42.44±4.10) was higher than control group (35.60±3.90), and also higher than the intervention group before intervention (34.56 ± 4.34) (all P<0.01). The scores of 5 dimensions were significantly different (P<0.05 or 0.01). Of 8 dimensions of intervention group, the scores of vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health were all increased after intervention, with significant differences except for role-emotional (P<0.05). The mental health index of patients with long-term health education was increased to a certain degree. Conclusion Long-term health education plays an active role in treatment. Insisting on taking part in health education regularly can improve the quantity of mental health.
