Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of mother-child reinforcing-reducing acupoint combination in treating migraine of liver yang hyperactivity type.Methods Forty patients with migraine of liver yang hyperactivity type were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 20 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture by mother-child reinforcing-reducing acupoint combination and the control group, acupuncture with conventional acupoint combination. Headache symptoms were scored in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the headache symptom score in the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in pre-/post-treatment headache symptom score difference value between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate and the cure and marked efficacy rate were 90.0% and 75.0%, respectively, in the treatment group and 85.0% and 35.0%, respectively, in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the cure and marked efficacy rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Mother-child reinforcing-reducing acupoint combination is an effective way to treat migraine of liver yang hyperactivity type.

The HAMD scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.05). The change of HAMD score after intervention in the treatment group was markedly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionTiao Du Tong Ren needling method is an effective approach in treating post-stroke depression.

Objective To study the clinical significance of dexamethasone (DT) in the combined spinal and epidural anesthesia for delivery of elderly parturient women. Methods 134 elderly parturient women were selected as the research object, and randomly divided into two groups. 69 cases in DT group received intramuscular injection of dexamethasone and combined anesthesia, while 65 cases in INN group received intramuscular injection of tramadol (INN) and combined spinal and epidural anesthesia. The anesthetic effect of the two groups were observed. Results After treatment, the interleukin (IL-6), myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) in DT group were significantly higher than INN group (P<0.05). The five kinds of immunoglobulins levels (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM) in DT group were higher than those in INN group (P<0.05). The heart rate (HR) in DT group was lower and mean arterial pressure (MAP) was higher than that in INN group(P<0.05). There was 1 cases of macrosomia, 2 cases of premature delivery in DT group, the adverse pregnancy outcomes was 4.35%(3/69). there was 1 cases of macrosomia, 1 cases of congenital deformity, 1 cases of premature delivery and 1 case of postterm delivery in DT group, the adverse pregnancy outcomes was 5.80%(4/69), with no significant difference between two groups. Conclusion Dexamethasone combined with anesthesia is very effective for delivery of elderly parturient women which shows very good anti-inflammatory and immunoregulation.

BACKGROUND: With the improvement of artificial joint materials, continuous consummation of prothesis design and the maturity of total knee replacement (TKR), excellent effects has been achieved in treatment of serious rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis with TKR. At present, it is generally thought in China and abroad that staged rehabilitative treatment of step by step should be conducted as early as possible after TKR, which can promote the recovery of patient's knee joint function, and enable patients to freely care themselves so as to enhance their qualities of life.OBJECTIVE: To explain the rehabilitative treatment after TKR and relevant researches.DATA SOURCES: A computer based search of Medline database for relevant articles from January 1998 to August 2005 were conducted with the key words of "total knee replacement, rehabilitation, therapy" and the language was limited to English. Meanwhile, Chinese journal full-text database and Wanfang database were retrieved for relevant Chinese papers from January 1990 to December 2004 with the key words of "total knee replacement, rehabilitation, therapy".STUDY SELECTION: Data were checked in the first trial, accepting criteria:①Items, procedures, process and announcements in the rehabilitative treatment after TKR. ② Retrospective investigations about specific cases. Exclusive criteria: repetitive researches.DATA EXTRACTION: A total of 37 literatures in accordance with above requirements were retrieved and 22 repetitive researches were excluded.Fifteen articles were in accordance with the inclusive criteria: 3 were reviews about TKR and relevant rehabilitative treatment, 8 were clinical researches related to rehabilitative treatment after TKR, 4 were analyzing researches on relevant factors of rehabilitative treatment after TKR. Besides,there were 3 other relevant monographs.DATA SYNTHESIS: Rehabilitative treatment was extremely important to the clinical effects of TKR, which was the key reason why anticipated effects could be achieved after TKR. Exercise for power, training of motion of joint, proprioceptive sensation training and gait training were the most important contents of postoperative rehabilitation treatment. Comprehensive rehabilitative training was essential to maximum recovery of knee joint function including various agonistic muscle training plus extending and flexing power of knee joint; continuous passive training of motion of knee joint in early period plus motion of joint; proprioceptive sensation training in amelioration of motor controllability, postural rectification and balance-keep capability and gait training in correction of abnormal gait.CONCLUSION: Staged rehabilitative treatment of step by step after TKR should be conducted as early as possible, which is absolutely important to exercise for power, training of motion of joint, proprioceptive sensation training, gait training and promotion of functional recovery of knee joints in patients.
