The historical background of recent-times“developing the Western and restraining the Chinese, and abolishing the old and conserving the new”determines the fact that the prominent feature of acupuncture development is actual effect. Shanghai famous doctors gathered, wrote kooks, established theories, run schools, paid attention to information exchange, participated in treatment for refractory and serious diseases including epidemic diseases, worked together to the academic inheritance of acupuncture and moxibustion and played an important role in preserving traditional Chinese medicine and spreading acupuncture and moxibustion.

Objective:To observe the effect of horse-riding squat exercise plus Governor Vessel-regulating Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)therapy on static balance function in patients with stroke.Methods:A total of 176 stroke patients were enrolled as the study subjects and divided into four groups by the random number table method,namely horse-riding squat+Tuina group,horse-riding squat group,Tuina group,and control group,with 44 cases in each group.The control group was treated with rehabilitation balance training.The horse-riding squat+Tuina group,horse-riding squat group,and Tuina group were treated with additional horse-riding squat exercise plus Tuina,horse-riding squat exercise,and Tuina treatment,respectively.Four weeks of treatment was regarded as one treatment course.After 1 treatment course,the balance function of the four groups was compared.Results:After treatment,the ellipse area of motion and the length of motion in all four groups were reduced,and the intra-group differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference in the ellipse area of motion before and after treatment in the horse-riding squat+Tuina group and the horse-riding squat group was larger than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference in the ellipse area of motion before and after treatment in the horse-riding squat+Tuina group was larger than that in the Tuina group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference in the length of motion before and after treatment in the horse-riding squat+Tuina group,the horse-riding squat group,and the Tuina group was greater than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the pairwise comparison between the horse-riding squat+Tuina group,the horse-riding squat group,and the Tuina group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Horse-riding squat exercise plus Governor Vessel-regulating Tuina therapy can effectively improve the static balance function in patients with stroke.Training the affected lower limb weight-bearing exercise,adjusting the center of gravity distribution,and promoting the mutual balance and coordination between muscle groups may be the mechanism of improving the static balance function.

【Objective】 To analyze the efficacy and safety of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of mass granulomatous mastitis (GLM). 【Methods】 Retrospective analysis was made on 67 patients with GLM who were treated in Xijing Hospital from July 2021 to May 2022 and met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 31 patients were treated with local injection of triamcinolone acetonide, while 36 ones were treated with oral methylprednisolone. All the included patients underwent surgical treatment after their condition met the surgical criteria, and the follow-up period lasted for up to six months after surgery. The two groups were compared in improvement of symptoms and signs, treatment time, clinical effectiveness and safety, and recurrence rate. 【Results】 The effective rate of triamcinolone acetonide group and methylprednisolone group was 100%, but the clinical cure rate was significantly higher in triamcinolone acetonide group than in methylprednisolone group in stratified analysis (P<0.05). The improvement time of symptoms and signs in triamcinolone acetonide group was significantly shorter than that in methylprednisolone group (P<0.05). The incidence of side effects in triamcinolone acetonide group was also significantly reduced compared to methylprednisolone group (P<0.05). Follow-up for half a year showed no recurrence in both groups. 【Conclusion】 Compared with the traditional oral methylprednisolone group, local injection of triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of mass granulomatous mastitis can rapidly relieve clinical symptoms and signs, shorten treatment time, and has higher efficiency and fewer side effects. Local injection of hormone combined with surgery is effective in treating mass granulomatous mastitis with low recurrence rate.
