China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(04):-
Dry eye is one of the common ocular surface diseases in the world and in our country. This article investigated the prophylaxis and treatment for dry eye according to the TCM concept of preventing possible disease, emphasized preventing disease by health preserving, improving environment, rational use of drugs, reasonable diet. The cases with dry eye symptom andocular surface damage should be treated on the principle of treating disease in the early stage, preventing the disease progression at the onset of disease. It emphasized the importance of internal care and external nursing.

Objective To explore the clinical features and risk factors of children with severe hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD).Methods The clinical data of 68 children with HFMD associated with brainstem encephalitis were analysed retrospectively from Apr to Sep 2010.Results Among the 68 cases,63cases(92.6% ) were younger than 3 years.The major symptoms and physical signs of 68 cases included rash (68 cases,100% ),fever (68 cases,100% ),fatigue (68 cases,100% ),irritability (65 cases,95.6% ),somnolence (42 cases,61.8% ),vomiting (28 cases,41.2% ),limb tremor (23 cases,33.8% ),tendon reflexe hyperactivity (60 cases,88.2% ),tachypnea or respiratory rhythm abnormality (63 cases,92.6% ),tachycardia (65 cases,95.6% ),and hypertension (54 cases,79.4% ).Twenty-five cases (36.8%,25/68 ) had leucocytosis ( > 12 × 109/L ),and 19 cases ( 27.9%,19/68 ) had hyperglycaemia.X-ray appearances:patchy and pathy shadows in single or bilateral pulmonary were seen in 46 cases( 67.6%,46/68 ).Forty-eight cases were examined by MRI,eight cases displayed ischemic lesions or demyelination.Spinal cord MRI was performed in 3 cases with flaccid paralysis,which showed demyelination.The etiology indicated that 38 cases ( 55.9%,38/68 ) were infected by enterovirus 71,25 cases( 36.8%,25/68 ) were infected by other enterovirus,5 cases (7.3%,5/68) were negative.All the cases were treated by mechanical ventilation with tracheal intubation,in whom 63 cases recovered well,4 cases improved,and 1 case gave up to die.Conclusion Ages < 3 years,enterovirus 71 infection,continual fever,fatigue,somnolence,irdtability,vomiting,limb tremor,tendon reflexes hyperactivity,tachypnea or respiratory rhythm abnormality,tachycardia and hypertension are the high risks of critically ill children associated with severe HFMD.To reduce the fatality rate of HFMD,it is crucial to early judge the high risk factors,and take mechanical ventilations earlier.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of"three modulation acupuncture"combined with repeated functional magnetic stimulation(rFMS)in the treatment of neurogenic bladder with detrusor muscle weakness after spinal cord injury.Methods A total of 120 patients with neurogenic bladder with detrusor muscle weakness after spinal cord injury were divided into conventional treatment group,"three modulation acupuncture"treatment group,rFMS treatment group and comprehensive treatment group according to the random number table method,with 30 patients per group.The conventional treatment group was given conventional rehabilitation treatment,the"three modulation acupuncture"treatment group was treated with"three modulation acupuncture"(modulating spirit,modulating reflex arc,and modulating lower jiao and waterway)based on conventional rehabilitation treatment,the rFMS treatment group was treated with rFMS based on conventional rehabilitation treatment,and the comprehensive treatment group was treated with"three modulation acupuncture"and rFMS based on conventional rehabilitation treatment.The first desire to void(FDV),maximum cystometric capacity(MCC),maximum detrusor pressure of urine storage period(Pdet.max),maximum intravesical pressure of urine storage period(Pves.max),average daily urination frequency,average daily urine leakage,residual urine volume,and neurogenic bladder symptom scores of the patients were compared before and after treatment,and the clinical effectiveness of each group was evaluated.Results After treatment,the FDV,MCC,and Pdet.max of the four groups were all increased compared with those before treatment,and Pves.max,the average daily urination frequency,the average daily frequency of urine leakage,the residual urine volume,and the neurogenic bladder symptom scores were all decreased(P<0.05).After treatment,the FDV,MCC,and Pdet.max of the"three modulation acupuncture"treatment group,the rFMS treatment group and the comprehensive treatment group were all higher than those of the conventional treatment group,and Pves.max,the average daily urination frequency,the average daily frequency of urine leakage,the residual urine volume,and the neurogenic bladder symptom scores were all lower(P<0.05).After treatment,the comprehensive treatment group had a higher FDV,MCC,and Pdet.max than the"three modulation acupuncture"treatment group and rFMS treatment group,and Pves.max,the average daily urination frequency,the average daily frequency of urine leakage,the residual urine volume,and the neurogenic bladder symptom scores were lower(P<0.05).The curative efficiency rates were 86.2%(25/29)in the"three modulation acupuncture"treatment group,85.7%(24/28)in the rFMS treatment group,and 92.6%(25/27)in the comprehensive treatment group,which was higher than that of the conventional treatment group,which was 75.9%(22/29).Conclusion"Three modulation acupuncture"and rFMS can effectively improve the functional status of the bladder in patients of neurogenic bladder with detrusor muscle weakness after spinal cord injury,and their combined application has a synergistic effect.
