Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2020;18(3):225-230
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of lung-clearing and spleen-strengthening tuina on exogenous cough in children. Methods: A total of 77 children with exogenous cough that met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the random number table, with 39 cases in the treatment group and 38 cases in the control group. The routine lung-clearing manipulation was used in the two groups, while the spleen- strengthening manipulation was added in the treatment group. Both groups were treated once a day, 5 times as a course of treatment. After one course of treatment, the symptom score and clinical efficacy were observed. Results: There were one dropout in the treatment group and 2 dropouts in the control group. Therefore, a total of 74 cases were finally included in the analysis, with 38 cases in the treatment group and 36 cases in the control group. After treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in cough score between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the score of poor appetite between the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was 89.5% in the treatment group versus 75.0% in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic efficacy of lung-clearing spleen-strengthening manipulation is better than that of lung-clearing tuina manipulation alone for children with exogenous cough; regulating spleen and stomach can improve the curative efficacy of exogenous cough in children.

OBJECTIVE:To study the adhibition of misoprostol combined with palace cavity attraction tube in the treatment of painless abortion after cesarean section. METHODS:214 patients who received painless abortion after cesarean section were ran-domly divided into group A(71 case),group B(71 case)and group C(72 case). After all patients were given conventional intrave-nous anesthesia,Group A was given misoprostol 0.6 mg for oral administration in preoperative 2 h. Group B was given Misoprostol tablet 0.2 mg abrasive powder put in posterior fornix in preoperative 3 h. Group C did not give any drugs. All the groups used dis-posable suction curettage tube. The efficacies of sedation and cervical dilatation,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,recovery time,dosage of propofol and incidences of complications and adverse reactions in the 3 groups were observed. RESULTS:The op-eration time,intraoperative blood loss in group A were lower than group B and lower than group C,the differences were statistical-ly significant(P<0.05);recovery time and dosage of propofol in group A were lower than group B and C,the differences were sta-tistically significant(P<0.05),howerer,there was no significant difference between group B and C(P>0.05). The total effective rates of sedation and cervical dilatation in group A and B were significantly higher than group C,and the difference was statistical-ly significant(P<0.05),however,there was no significant difference between group A and B(P>0.05). The incidence of compli-cations in group A was lower than group B and lower than group C,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among 3 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The efficien-cy and safety of misoprostol for oral administration or medicated vaginal suppository combined with palace cavity attraction tube in the treatment of painless abortion after cesarean section is similar,but oral administration can reduce the dosage of anesthetics,op-eration time and smaller intraoperative blood loss volume.
