OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical rational use and purchase of TCM decoction pieces for rheumatism. METHODS:Using Excel software,the application of TCM decoction pieces for rheumatism in our hospital during 2010-2014 was analyzed statistically in respects of drug type,consumption quantity and consumption sum,etc. RESULTS:The consumption quan-tity of TCM decoction pieces for rheumatism increased from 46 026 kg to 79 139 kg in our hospital during 2010-2014,and annual growth rate was 14.68%;consumption sum increased from 3 851 300 yuan to 6 403 800 yuan,with annual growth rate was 15.46%;consumption quantity ratio was 2.48%-2.85%. Among antirheumatic drug subtype,the quantity of drugs for antirheumatic and dissipating cold was the largest (accounting for 51.43%-58.42%),followed by drugs for antirheumatic and strengthening the bones and muscles(accounting for 23.05%-28.42%)and drugs for antirheumatic and clearing heat(accounting for 18.53%-21.08%). Top 3 TCM decoction pieces for rheumatism in the list of annual quantity were Viscum coloratum,Cynanchum paniculatum and Clematis chinensis/Chaenomeles sinensis during 2011-2014. Top 3 TCM decoction pieces for rheumatism in the list of consumption sum were Zoacys dhumnades,C. paniculatum and V. coloratum during 2011-2014. CONCLUSIONS:Both consumption quantity and consumption sum of TCM decoction pieces for rheumatism have increased year by year in our hospital,but the ratio of total quantity to total amount and medication structure keep stable,and TCM for expelling wind-damp and dispelling cold is the greatest in consumption quantity which is in line with clinical drug use characteristics. Purchasing staff can purchase drugs predictably ac-cording to the results.

Objective To analyze the utilization and the development trend of TCM decoction pieces for relieving exterior syndrome in Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of TCM;To provide references for clinical rational medicine use and purchase. Methods Excel software was used to analyze the consumption quantity and consumption sum of TCM decoction pieces for relieving exterior syndrome in our hospital during 2009-2013. Results The consumption quantity of TCM decoction pieces for relieving exterior syndrome in our hospital increased year by year with average growth rate of 11.52%, among which the consumption quantity of medicine for diverging wind-cold was more than medicine for diverging wind-heat. Conclusion Both the consumption quantity and the consumption sum of TCM decoction pieces for relieving exterior syndrome in our hospital have been increasing significantly.

Objective:To observe the effects of auricular point sticking on pain and anxiety during the latent period of the first stage of labor in primiparas. Methods:Primiparas meeting eligibility criteria were recruited.The participants were randomized into an auricular point group,a placebo group,and a control group.The control group received daily care.The auricular point group received 120 min of auricular point sticking therapy.The placebo group received the same auricular plasters as the auricular point group but without pressing.Participants'pain,anxiety,and uterine contractions were measured at enrollment and 30,60,and 120 min of interventions. Results:Data from 78 participants were analyzed in this study.After uterine contraction was adjusted as a covariate,there was no significant difference among groups in the baseline anxiety,baseline pain,and anxiety at 30-min intervention(P>0.05),and no significant difference between the placebo group and the control group in each indicator at each time point(P>0.05).The anxiety scores of the auricular point group at 60 min and 120 min were lower than those of the placebo group and the control group(P<0.05).The pain in the auricular point group was less than that in the placebo group and the control group at 30,60,and 120 min of interventions(P<0.05). Conclusion:Auricular point sticking therapy can relieve anxiety and pain in women during the latent period of labor.Moreover,the effect is fast-acting.It can be used as a safe and effective complementary therapy.
