Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in regulating depressed state. Method Sixty patients in depressed state were divided into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was given basic intervention plus acupuncture, whereas the control group was treated by basic intervention alone. The two groups were evaluated by using Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and PSTR prior to treatment, and respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment. The clinical efficacies of the two groups were compared. Result The HAMD and PSTR scores were significantly changed respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment compared to that before treatment in both groups (P<0.05). Respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment, the HAMD and PSTR scores of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Acupuncture worked rather slowly in the first month of treatment, while in the following 2 months, its efficacy increased significantly. The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 40.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no adverse reactions during the whole intervention with acupuncture. Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective approach in regulating depressed state.

Objective To explore the efficacy and adverse reactions of diminishing scheme of cefaclor sustained re-lease tablets in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infection(RUTI).Methods 60 RUTI patients in a hospital were divided into treatment group(n=30)and control group (n=30),patients in treatment group were treated with diminishing scheme of cefaclor sustained release tablets,patients in control group were treated with diminishing scheme of levofloxacin tablets,clinical therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions of two groups were observed. Results The curative rate in treatment group was higher than control group ([80.00%,n =24]vs [53.33%,n =16])(χ2 =4.80,P =0.028).The incidence of RUTI in treatment group was lower than control group ([6.67%,n=2]vs [26.67%,n=8])(χ2 =4.32,P =0.038).Incidence of adverse reactions in treatment group was lower than control group (16.67% vs 50.00%)(χ2 =7.50,P =0.006).Conclusion The diminishing scheme of cefaclor sus-tained release tablets in the treatment of RUTI has good curative efficacy,low recurrence rate,fewer adverse reac-tions,and can be used for the treatment of recurrence of RUTI.
