OBJECTIVE:
To compare the therapeutic effect between cotton-moxibustion and compound flumetasone ointment, and observe the effect on quality of life in patients with chronic eczema.
METHODS:
A total of 66 patients with chronic eczema were randomized into an observation group (33 cases, 2 cases dropped off) and a control group (33 cases, 2 cases dropped off). In the observation group, cotton-moxibustion was adopted on target skin lesion, once a day, 3 cones a time. In the control group, external application of compound flumetasone ointment was given twice a day. The treatment for 3 weeks was required in the both groups. Before treatment and 1,2,3 weeks into treatment, scores of visual analogue scale (VAS), eczema area and severity index (EASI) and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) were observed, and the recurrence rate was evaluated in the follow-up one month after treatment.
RESULTS:
Compared before treatment, the VAS scores of 1,2,3 weeks into treatment, the EASI and DLQI scores of 2,3 weeks into treatment were decreased in the both groups (
CONCLUSION
Cotton-moxibustion can effectively improve the pruritus symptom, skin lesion and quality of life in the patients with chronic eczema, the therapeutic effect is superior to the external application of compound flumetasone ointment.

Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2012;26(7):323-325
OBJECTIVE:
To observe therapy efficacy of external auditory canal eczema by deeply injecting compound betamethasone and benzathine penicillin into patients muscles.
METHOD:
Sixty patients were randomly divided into two groups. In the treatment group 30 patients were deeply injected compound betamethasone injection 1 ml and benzathine penicillin 1 200 000 U into muscles on their hips both sides one times. In the control group 30 patients were given desloratadine 5 mg orally one times a day and amoxicillin capsules 0.5 mg orally three times a day, both kinds of medicine were continuously taken for one week. No other medication was used during the treatment of two groups, keeping skin clean and dry, and judge therapy efficacy after one week.
RESULT:
The cure rate was 60.00% and the total efficiency was 96.67% in the treatment group; the cure rate was 26.67% and the total efficiency was 73.33% in the control group. Compare with cure rate of two groups, chi2 = 6.67, P < 0.01, in which there was significant difference. Compare with total efficiency of two groups, chi2 = 4.71, P < 0.05, in which there was also significant difference. The therapy effect started in two hours quickly and in three days slowly in the treatment group, an average of 0.5 days. The therapy effect started in two days quickly and in five days slowly in the control group, an average of 2.5 days.

9.Essence of professor SHI Xin-de's experience in application of persicae ramulus-associated prescriptions.
China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2014;39(13):2569-2572
Persicae Ramulus decoction, as the first prescription in Treatise on febrile Diseases, has been recommended by physicians of successive generations. It is also the general prescription for harmonizing yingfen and weifen, yin and yang, qi and blood. Although it only consists of five herbal medicines, it has a wider range of application and more categorized formulas than other prescriptions. Though Persicae Ramulus decoction was originally formulated to treat taiyang apoplexy, it has functions beyond the treatment of exopathic diseases. This formula is also effective in treating internal diseases, surgical diseases, gynecologic diseases, paediatric diseases, etc. KE Yun-bo praised it as the No. 1 formula among ZHANG Zhong-jin's formulas as well as the general prescription for harmonizing Yin and Yang, yingfen and weifen, resolving fleshy exterior and inducing perspiration. Professor SHI Xin-de has been expert at treating intractable diseases by using Persicae Ramulus-associated prescriptions, such as Xiaojianzhong decoction and Baohe pill for children's chronic eczema, Persicae Ramulus and Puerariae Lobatae Radix decoction and Yupingfeng powder for chronic nephritis, and Persicae Ramulus and Longgu Muli decoction for insomnia. Instead of being restricted to Chinese or Western disease names, he prescribed appropriate formulas according to syndromes, thereby achieving a good efficacy.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects and safety of Shuangfujin (SFJ) on acute eczema.
METHODSOne hundred and twenty patients with acute eczema were randomly assigned to 4 groups equally, the saline group, the boric acid group, the Pifukang lotion group and the SFJ group, treated with respective medicine.
RESULTSAfter 4 days of treatment, the symptom score was remarkably lower in the SFJ group than in the other three groups (P<0.01), score in the saline group was higher than that in the boric acid group and the Pifukang lotion group, and insignificant difference was shown between the latter two groups. The total effective rate and cured rate were 46.4% and 14.3% in the SFJ group, which were matched to those in the Pifukang lotion group and significantly higher than those in the other two groups (P <0.01), and the saline group showed the lowest efficacy. The effect of stopping itch in the SFJ and the boric acid group were matched, which was higher than that in the Pifukang lotion group, and the lowest was in the saline group.
