Objective To explore the clinical effect of the endoscopic electrocoagulation combined with nasal micro packing in the treatment of refractory epistaxis .Methods 120 patients with refractory epistaxis were selected as the research subjects ,and they were divided into two groups by the single blind randomly methods ,60 cases in each group.The control group was given vaseline gauze for hemostasis of nasal cavity ,and the observation group received endoscopic electrocoagulation combined with nasal packing hemostasis micro treatment .The cure rate ,the incidence of complications ,recovery of nasal mucosa of nasal ventilation time , recovery time , the total amount of bleeding , pain score and recurrence rate of the two groups were compared .Results The cure rate in the observation group was 96.67%,which was significantly higher than 81.67% in the control group(χ2 =6.988,P<0.05).The incidence rate of complications and pain score in the observation group were 8.33%,(3.65 ±1.09)points,respectively,which were significantly lower than 21.67%,(5.23 ±1.72) points in the control group (χ2 =4.183,t =6.010,all P<0.05).The total amount of bleeding significantly reduced (t=6.344,P<0.05),the recovery of nasal ventilation time and recovery time of nasal mucosa significantly decreased (t=7.119,6.183,all P<0.05).The patients were followed up for 6 months,the recurrence rate in the observation group was 1.67%,which was significantly lower than 11.67%in the control group(χ2 =4.821,P<0.05).Conclusion The endoscopic electric coagulation combined with nasal micro packing in the treatment of refractory epistaxis has significant effect ,it can effectively promote the recovery of patients,reduce complications and recurrence ,the prognosis is good .

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Huayu Tongluo Formula (化瘀通络方, HTF) in patients with mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome and explore its potential mechanisms. MethodsA multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. Ninety patients of mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome were divided into a control group of 46 cases and a treatment group of 44 cases. Both groups received conventional western medicine treatment, the treatment group additionally taking HTF, while the control group taking a placebo of the formula. The treatment was administered once daily for 24 weeks. The primary outcomes included 24-hour urine total protein (24 h-UTP), serum albumin (Alb), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and serum creatinine (Scr).The secondary outcomes included changes in levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on TCM syndrome scores and overall disease outcomes. Adverse reactions and endpoint events were recorded. ResultsIn the treatment group after treatment, 24 h-UTP, ET-1, and VEGF levels significantly decreased (P<0.05), Alb and NO levels significantly increased (P<0.05); while the TCM syndrome scores for edema, lumbar pain, numbness of limbs, dark purple lips, dark purple tongue or purpura, and thin, rough pulse all significantly decreased (P<0.05). In the control group, no significant changes were observed in any of the indicators after treatment (P>0.05).Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed significant reductions in 24 h-UTP, ET-1, and VEGF levels, and increases in Alb and NO levels (P<0.05). The TCM syndrome scores for edema, lumbar pain, dark purple tongue or purpura, and thin, rough pulse were all lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of TCM syndrome in the treatment group was 59.09% (26/44), and the overall clinical effective rate was 45.45% (20/44). In the control group, these rates were 15.22% (7/46) and 8.7% (4/46), respectively, with the treatment group showing significantly better outcomes (P<0.05). A total of 7 adverse events occurred across both groups, with no significant difference (P>0.05). No endpoint events occurred during the study. ConclusionOn the basis of conventional treatment of Western medicine, HTF can further reduce urinary protein levels and improve clinical symptoms in patients with mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome. The mechanism may be related to its effects on endothelial function.
