Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of surround electroacupuncture in relieving pain after operation for mixed hemorrhoids. Method Seventy-two patients with mixed hemorrhoids were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 36 cases in each group. The two groups both received the corresponding interventions once in 15 min after the operation: the treatment group received electroacupuncture treatment, and the control group was only placed in a simulated environment of electroacupuncture but without receivimg any needling treatment. The pain intensity was evaluated by using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS), Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 11 different time points after the treatment: once every 1 h in 8 h after the treatment, once at the first defecation, once respectively 24 h and 48 h after the treatment. The data were statistically analyzed afterwards. Result At 3 h and 4 h after the treatment and at the first defecation after the treatment, the VRS scores of the treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05); respectively at 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, and 8 h after the treatment and at the first defecation, the Wong-Baker scores of the treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05); respectively at 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, and 8 h after the treatment, at the first defecation, as well as at 24 h after the treatment, the VAS scores of the treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05); it indicates that the pain intensity of the treatment group should be lower than that of the control group at the above time points, and the analgesic effect in the treatment group lasts a longer time, running a lower risk of losing effectiveness compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Real-time acupuncture treatment after the operation is significantly effective in relieving pain after operation for hemorrhoids.

This study was aimed to observe the influence of Catalpol on real-time gait analysis of early recovery after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) in rats to evaluate its effect on the improvement after cerebral ischemia. Rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, which were the normal control group, model group, Tianbaoning group, Catalpol 15, 30, 60 mg·kg-1 group. Rats were trained on the gait instrument for 7 days before pMCAO, 3 times/day. After the training, pMCAO model was made. And continuous infusion was performed from the 3rd to the 14th day after the operation. Then, the real-time gait behavior was detected on the 14th day. The re-sults showed that 14 days after the surgery, compared with the normal control group, the models had a significant extending in the duty cycle (P < 0.01), and obvious increasing of the average body angle of absolute value (P <0.05), the shortening of the two feet supporting time (P < 0.05), and extending of three feet supporting time (P <0.01), and increasing of the coordination index (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the Catalpol of 30 mg·kg-1 and 60 mg·kg-1 group has obviously decreased duty cycle and average body angle of absolute value (P <0.05, or P < 0.01). The Catalpol of 30 mg·kg-1 can obviously reduce the coordination index of the right front foot relative to the other three feet (P < 0.05), which improved the coordination of cerebral ischemia animals. It was concluded that Catalpol can improve the real-time gait behavior changes of cerebral ischemia model rats. There-fore, Catalpol have a neural protective effect on cerebral ischemia.

This study was aimed to explore the effect of Catalpol on the cerebral infarction size in acute phase, water content and inflammatory reaction of early recovery after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pM-CAO). Adult male Sprague-dawley rats were subjected to chemical method to establish MCAT model. The detec-tion was made on neurobehavioral symptoms, cerebral infarction volume and water content at 24 h after surgery. The content of intedeukin-6 (IL-6), intedeukin-10 (IL-10) and nuclear factor kappa Bp65 (NF-κBp65) were de-tected after pMCAO with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that 24 h after MCAT, Catalpol 15-60 mg·kg-1 can significantly improve the neurobehavioral symptoms (P < 0.01, or P <0.001). The Catalpol 15 mg·kg-1 can significantly reduce cerebral infarction volume (P < 0.05). The Catalpol 30-60 mg·kg-1 can significantly reduce water content (P < 0.05). Catalpol 30-60 mg·kg-1 can significantly improve neurobehav-ioral symptoms from the 7th day after pMCAO. On the 14th after pMCAO, the content of IL-10 and NF-κBp65 of ischemia brain had no difference compared with sham-operated group. The IL-6 level of ischemia brain was obvi-ously reduced than the sham-operated group(P < 0.05). The intragastric administration of Catalpol 15 mg·kg-1 for 14 days can reduce the content of NF-κBp65 in the ischemia brain of model rats (P < 0.05). It was concluded that Catalpol can improve neurobehavioral symptoms of acute and subacute phase after cerebral ischemia, reduce infarcts and water content. These effects may not be related with its inhibition of inflammatory derived from cere-bral ischemia.
