Objective To observe clinical effect of treating post-herpetic neuralgia of the old with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Methods 98 patients with postherpetic neuraligia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was treated with Longdan Xiegan decoction plus aciclovir, and the control group was treated with aciclovir. A three months' follow-up was performed after the treatment to observe clinical effect of the treatment group and the control group and their difference. Results The therapeutic effect in the treatment group was significantly better than the control group, with P＜0.01.Conclusion Integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine therapy has better effect in treating senile herpes zoster than exclusive western medicine therapy.

Objective To investigate the influence of the cardiac function on the prognosis in the patients with acute myocardial infarction(AM I) complicating multivessel disease (M VD ) treated by revascularization .Methods 152 cases of AM I complicating MVD treated by routine percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were divided into the normal group(94 cases ,LVEF≥50% ) and the lower group(58 cases ,LVEF<50% ) according to the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,and the influence of the cardiac function on the prognosis was analyzed .Results The myocardial infarction history ,history of atrial fibrillation ,NYHA classifica-tion ,hs-CRP ,LADp ,ISR ,left ventricular structure and function had statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0 .05) .The multivariate Logistic regrossion analysis showed that NYHA classification ,LVEF ,LVMI and LVEDd were the inde-pendent risk factors affecting the prognosis after PCI .Conclusion The reduced cardiac function is a risk factor affecting the prog-nosis of AMI complicating MVD treated by PCI ,the improvement of the cardiac function will be beneficial to the prognosis of the patients .
