Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2008;6(2):97-98
Objective:To evaluate the curative effect of electroacupuncture on postapoplectic incontinence of urine.Methods:One Hundred and fifty-five patients were randomly allocated into a treatment group of 102 cases and a control group Of 51 cases.The treatment group was treated with electroacupuncture and the control group with Wlestem medicine.The curative effects were evaluated after 1-2 months.Resuits:The basic cure rate.marked eriective rate,effective rate and inelyective rate were 47.0%,27.5%,1 8.6% and 6.9% respectively,with a total effective rate of 93.1%in the treatment group and 7.9%,1 7.6%,1 7.6% and 56.9% respectively,with a total effective rate of 43.1% in the control group.There was a statistically significant difference in curative effect between the two groups(P<0.05).The curative effect was significantly beaer in the treatment group than in the control group.Conclusion:Electroacupuncture has a good curative effect on postapoplectic incontinence ofurine.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel combined with aspirin in the treatment of transient ischemic attack in the elderly. METHODS:90 elderly patients with transient ischemic were randomly divided into observation group(50 cases)and control group(40 cases). All patients received conventional treatment,statins,low molecular weight dextran and urokinase,etc.,symptomatic treatment was conducted for patients combined with other underlying diseases. Based on it,con-trol group received 100 mg Aspirin enteric-coated tablet,once a day;observation group additionally received 75 mg Clopidogrel bi-sulfate tablet,once a day. No other antiplatelet drugs were allowed. They treatment for 6 months. Clinical efficacy,platelet func-tion indexes(CD63,CD62p)before and after treatment,recurrence rate and incidence of cerebral stroke after 6 months follow-up in 2 groups were observed,and the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,recurrence rate and incidence of cerebral stroke were significantly lower than con-trol group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,CD63 and CD62p levels in 2 groups were sig-nificantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). And there were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,clopido-grel combined with aspirin shows better efficacy than aspirin alone in the treatment of transient ischemic attack in the elderly,it can reduce the incidence of cerebral stroke and recurrence rate,with good safety.
