Thirty caaes diagnosed as lGA nephroparthyby kidney biopay were treated bassed on differential diagnosis of syndromes the cases were divided into several stages via lesion in the lung -kidney (initial stage )lesion in the spleen-kidney (stable atage )and lesion in the liver -kidney (stable atage)and relapsing stage, and were treated by Chinese medicaments accordingly. The results revealed that 10 cases were totally mitigated; 13 cases, markedly alleviated; 4 cases, ameliorated, with only 3 cases ineffective. The total effecitve rate was 90%.Thirty cases diagnosed as IgA nephropathy by kidney biopsy were treated based on differential diagnosis of syndromes. The cases were divided into several stages, viz. lesion in the lung -kidney ( initial stage) , lesion in the spleen - kidney (stable stage) and lesion in the liver -kidney (advanced stage) and relaps-

Objective To investigate the efficacy of skin scraping plus movable cupping in treating neck-shoulder syndrome. Method One hundred and eighty patients with neck-shoulder syndrome were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups. The treatment group received skin scraping plus movable cupping and the control group, acupuncture. Result The total efficacy rate was 88.8% in the treatment group and 77.5% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Skin scraping plus movable cupping has a good therapeutic effect on neck-shoulder syndrome.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of intermittent liver-nourishing and mind-regulating acupuncture in preventive treatment of migraine. Method One hundred and twenty migraine patients were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 60 cases each. The treatment group received intermittent liver-nourishing and mind-regulating acupuncture and the control group took flunarizine hydrochloride capsules orally. The migraine score, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score and the headache severity rating score were recorded in the subjects before treatment and at the end of treatment and the 4-week, 8-week, 12-week, 16-week and 20-week follow-ups. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were recorded before and after treatment.Result After one course of treatment, the total efficacy rate was 98.3% in the treatment group and 89.5% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the migraine score between before treatment and at the end of treatment in the two groups (P<0.05) and between the two groups at the same follow-ups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the VAS score between before treatment and at the end of treatment in the two groups (P<0.05) and between the two groups at the same follow-ups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the SAS and SDS scores between before treatment and at the end of treatment in the two groups (P<0.05) and between the two groups after treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Intermittent liver-nourishing and mind-regulating acupuncture has marked efficacy in preventive treatment of migraine. It can increase the total efficacy rate and reduce the number of relapses.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus point-toward-point needling in treating poststroke strephenopodia.Method Eighty patients with poststroke strephenopodia were randomized into a treatment group intervened by heat-sensitive moxibustion plus point-toward-point needling and a control group intervened by rehabilitation, 40 cases in each group. In addition to the basic treatment, the treatment group was given heat-sensitive moxibustion plus point-toward-point needling, and the control group was given rehabilitation treatment. Holden's Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of the lower-limb motor function, and Tinetti Gait Assessment (TGA) were adopted for evaluation of the two groups, and the clinical efficacies were compared.ResultThe effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 77.5% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); after the treatment,there was a significant difference in comparing the Holden's FAC between the two groups (P<0.05); the FMA score changed significantly after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and there was a significant difference in comparing the FMA score between thetwo groups after the treatment (P<0.05); the TGA score changed significantly after the intervention in both groups (P<0.05), and there was a significant difference in comparing the TGA score between the two groups after the intervention (P<0.05).ConclusionHeat-sensitive moxibustion plus point-toward-point needling can produce a significant efficacy in treating poststroke strephenopodia, as it can enhance the effective rate and improve the lower-limb motor function.
