Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2015;35(7):641-645
OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy difference in the treatment of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (NHIE) between the combined therapy of acupuncture land acupoint injection of nerve growth fac-tor (NGF) and the combined therapy of the intravenous drop of citicoline sodium and intramuscular injection of NGF.
METHODSSixty-one cases of NHIE were randomized into an observation group (32 cases) and a control group (29 cases). In the observation group, acupuncture combined with acupint injection of NGF was adopted. The acupoints were Baihui (GV 20), Dazhui (GV 14) and Fengfu (GV 16), 0. 5 mL each acupoint, once a day. In the control group, the intravenous drop of citicoline sodium and intramuscular injection of NGF were used. The, treatment of 7 days made one session and 3 sessions were required. Separately, in 7, 14 and 21 days of treatment, the clinical efficacy, behavior nerve determination score and adverse reaction were observed in the two groups.
RESULTSIn 7, 14 and 21 days of treatment, the total effective rates were 50. 0% (16/32), 68. 8% (22/32) and 78. 1% (25/32) in the observation group and were 69. 0% (20/29), 72. 4% (21/29) and 82. 8% (24/29) in the control group. The result in the control group was better than that in the observation group in the 7 days (P< 0. 05). The behavior determination scores in 7, 14 and 21 days were all improved obviously as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0. 05, P<0. 01). The score in the control group was better than that in the, observation group in the 7 days (P<0. 05). The differences were not significant in the scores between the two groups in 14 and 21 days (both P>0. 05). The incidence of adverse reaction in the observation group was lower than that in, the control group [14. 3% (5/35) vs 31. 4% (11/35), P<0. 05] and the severity was mild.
CONCLUSIONIn the treatment of NHIE with the combined therapy of acupuncture and acupint injection, the overall efficacy in 1 week; is inferior to that of the combined therapy of the intravenous drop of citicoline sodium and intramuscular injection of NGF. But the efficacy is improved gradually along with the treatment progression and the adverse reaction is less.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy difference on vegetative state in children between acupoint injection combined with plum-blossom needle and western medication based on basic treatment.
METHODSForty-eight children of vegetative state were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 24 cases in each one. On the basis of the treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation apparatus, balancing treatment apparatus and massage, the acupoint injection and tapping method with plum-blossom needle were adopted in the observation group, in which Xingnaojing injection, mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF) injection, monosialotetrahexosylganglioside sodium injection (MSI), compound Danshen injection were divided in 6 pairs and were injected respectively in Baihui (GV 20), Yongquan (KI 1), Fengfu (GV 16), Yamen (GV 15) and the others, 0.5 mL in each acupoint, once a day for continuous 10 days. Additionally, the tapping method with plum-blossom needle was used on the Governor Vessel and Jiaji (EX-B 2) on the back. In the control group, the intravenous infusion was adopted with citicoline sodium injection, mannitol injection and dexamethasone injection. The treatment was given once a day, 20 days of treatment made one session and totally 3 sessions were required in the two groups. The clinical efficacy, the vegetative state score and the mean curing time were observed after 20 days, 40 days and 60 days of treatment between the two groups.
RESULTSThe effective rates were 58.3% (14/24), 70.8% (17/24) and 79.2% (19/24) in 20 days, 40 days and 60 days of treatment in the observation group and 20.8% (5/24), 45.8% (11/24) and 58.3% (14/24) in the control group respectively. The efficacy in the observation group was superior to those in the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). The vegetative state score was improved apparently after 20 days, 40 days and 60 days of treatment as compared with those before treatment separately (all P < 0.05). It was improved obviously at the each time point after treatment in the observation group as compared with that in the control group (3.34 +/- 2.41 vs 2.64 +/- 11.56, 6.20 +/- 1.46 vs 4.34 +/- 1.64, 11.26 +/- 2.63 vs 8.75 +/- 2.18, all P < 0.05). The mean curing time was (45.67 +/- 16.24) days in the observation group, which was shorter apparently than that of (55.34 +/- 4.57) days in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONBased on basic treatment acupoint injection combined with tapping method of plum-blossom needle achieve the reliable efficacy on vegetative state in children.

Objective To discuss the characteristics and management of pregnancy on cesarean section scar. Methods Five women with pregnancy on cesarean section scar were reviewed from Apr. 2000 to Mar. 2003. Results All of the five patients had cesarean section before and suffered from painless,irregular vaginal bleeding after 6~8 weeks of amenorrhea. The pregnancy could be misdiagnosed as invasive mole or cervical pregnancy. All had better outcome by uterine suction under ultrasound monitoring without massive bleeding or hysterectomy. Conclusions Women who had cesarean section before are in the risk of pregnancy on the old scar. Clear diagnosis should be made before any treatment. Ultrasound monitoring,local MTX injection and packing can be utilized to prevent perforation during suction. Patients should be monitored continuously after operation with serum hCG level and ultrasound. The principle prevention of pregnancy on cesarean section scar is to reduce the cesarean section rate and effective contraception.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effects between moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4), Shenshu (BL 23), Zusanli (ST 36) and western medication on immune function in children with cerebral palsy.
METHODSA total of 230 children with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 115 cases in each one. Patients in the observation group were treated with warm moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4), Shenshu (BL 23) and Zusanli (ST 36). Patients in the control group were treated with oral administration of pidotimod 10 mL every time. The treatment was given once a day, and 30 days were considered as one session for total 90 days. The changes of T-lymphoctyte subgroups, serum immunoglobulin and development quotient were compared 30 days, 60 days and 90 days into treatment respectively; also the occurrence rate.of disease was observed during 6-month and 12-month follow-up visit.
RESULTSThe T-lymphoctyte subgroups (CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+), serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA) and development quotient were significantly improved 30 days, 60 days and 90 days into treatment (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Regarding the changes of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD4+, IgG, IgA and development quotient, the control group was superior to the observation group 30 days into treatment (all P < 0.05), and the control group was similar to the observation group 60 days into treatment (all P > 0.05), and the observation group was superior to the control group 90 days into treatment (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference of CD8+ and IgM before and after treatment in two groups (all P > 0.05). The rate of adverse events was 7.0% (8/115) in the observation group, which was lower than 23.5% (27/115) in the control group (P < 0.01); during 6-month and 12-month follow-up visit, the occurrence rate of disease in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONMoxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4), Shenshu (BL 23) and Zusanli (ST 36) can improve immune function of children with cerebral palsy, which is superior to pidotimod.
