Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2015;35(7):670-673
OBJECTIVETo compare the differences in the clinical efficacy on neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury (SCD between the matrix needling technique combined with rehabilitation training and rehabilitation training in the patients.
METHODSSixty patients of SCI neurogenic bladder were randomized into an observation group (29 cases) and a control group (31 cases). In the control group, the conventional rehabilitation therapy, the intermittent catheterization and bladder function training were adopted, once every day, for 4 weeks totally. In the observation group, on the basic treatment of the rehabilitation as the control group, the matrix needling technique and acupuncture at sanyin points were applied. The treatment of 8 days made one session, at the interval of 2 days, continuously for 3 sessions, meaning 4 weeks totally. The bladder function score, residual urine volume and bladder capacity were compared before and after treatment in the two groups.
RESULTSThe bladder function score was reduced after treatment as compared with that before treatment in either group (both P<0. 05). The score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group after treatment (P<0. 05). No matter which spinal segment was injured, the residual urine volume after treatment was reduced as compared with that before treatment and the bladder capacity was increased (P<0. 05). The residual urine volume in the observation group was less than that in the control group after treatment and the bladder capacity was more increased (P< 0. 05).
CONCLUSIONThe conventional rehabilitation program in combination with the matrix needling technique and acupuncture at sanyin points achieve the significant efficacy on SCI neurogenic bladder.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of three yin points acupuncture plus medicinal spreading moxibustion in treating erectile dysfunction.Methods Sixty patients with erectile dysfunction meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to two groups, 30 cases each. The control group took sildenafil at 1 hr before sexual intercourse. The treatment group received three yin points acupuncture plus medicinal spreading moxibustion, 8 days as one course of treatment, for three consecutive courses with 2 days of rest between the courses. The erectile function was scored in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared.Results The total efficacy rate was 93.3% in the treatment group and 80.0% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The marked efficacy rate was 83.3% in the treatmentn group and 60.0% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). in the treatment group, there was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the erectile function score after 20 days of treatment (P<0.05) and statistically a very significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the erectile function score after 30 days of treatment (P<0.01). In the control group, the overall therapeutic effect was stable after treatment and there was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the erectile function score (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant post-treatment difference in the erectile function score between the treatment and control groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Both acupuncture-moxibustion and sildenafil have a therapeutic effect on erectiledysfunction. Sildenafil produces a rapid and stable effect. Acupuncture and moxibustion produce a slower effect but have an advantage in the marked efficacy rate.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of dobutamine on hemodynamics,tissue perfusion and respiratory function in patients with ARDS caused by septic shock. METHODS:Totally 26 patients with ARDS caused by septic shock were given Dobu-tamine hydrochloride injection 5 μg/(kg·min) by continuous pump for 20 min ,increasing by 5 μg/(kg·min) every 20 min to 15μg/(kg·min)for 6 h. Mean artery pressure(MAP)maintained at about 65 mmHg during continuous pump. Hemodynamic index-es [HR,MAP,cardiac output(CO),stroke volume(SV),total end diastolic volume(GEDV),intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBI),extravascular lung water index (ELWI),systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI)],tissue perfusion indexes (norepi-nephrine,urine volume,blood oxygen saturation,blood lactate)and ventilator parameter indexes(positive breathing pressure,min-ute ventilation volume,respiratory rate,peak inspiratory pressure and plateau pressure)of all patients were recorded before medica-tion,6,24,48 h after medication. RESULTS:There were no statistical significances in HR,MAP,GEDV,ITBI,blood oxygen saturation,blood lactate and respiratory rate before and after treatment (P>0.05). CO,SV,urine volume and minute ventilation volume of all patients 6,24,48 h after medication were significantly higher than before medication,and those indexes increased gradually as medication time. ELWI,SVRI,positive breathing pressure,peak inspiratory pressure and plateau pressure of all pa-tients after medication were significantly lower than before medication,and those indexes decreased gradually as medication time, with statistical significance(P<0.05). The levels of norepinephrine in all patients 24,48 h after medication were significantly low-er than before medication and 6 h after medication,with statistical significance(P<0.05);but there was no statistical significance between before medication and 6 h after medication(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The early application of dobutamine ELWI,tis-sue perfusion and respiratory function in patients with ARDS caused by septic shock,and can keep hemodynamics stable.
