This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy, acceptance, complications / adverse events treated with traditional manipulation and bed rest for patients with acute nonspecific low back pain (ANLBP). A total of 60 ANLBP patients were distributed into the Group A/B randomly and equally. Patients in Group A were treated by bed rest absolutely for one week; meanwhile patients in Group B were treated by traditional manipulation for one week. IBM SPSS20.0 was used to analyze the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Chinese Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), acceptance, complications / adverse events and others. The results showed that VAS and ODI reduced after one-week treatment in Group A and B (t = 14.67, 11.55, allP < 0.001 andt = 24.80, 15.35, allP <0.001). Differences of VAS and ODI were with significant difference between Group A and B (t = 3.24, 2.75,P =0.002, 0.009). Scores of acceptance and complications / adverse events were with significant difference between Group A and B (t = 2.65,P = 0.01 andχ2= 10.00,P = 0.002). It was concluded that both manipulation and bed rest can alleviatepain due to ANLBP, promote functional recovery. However, traditional manipulation can better improve symptoms, easier to be accepted by patients with less complications / adverse events.

OBJECTIVE To explore the efficacy of alfacalcidol combined with conventional antihypertensive and lipid- lowering drugs on liver and kidney function， serum inflammatory cytokines and renin-angiotensin system（RAS） in hypertensive patients with renal impairment. METHODS A total of 200 hypertensive patients with renal impairment who were treated in the department of nephrology in our hospital from December 2017 to December 2020 were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group， with 100 cases in each group. Both groups of patients were treated with conventional antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs for a total of 14 weeks， patients in the observation group were additionally treated with oral alfacalcidol after 2 weeks of treatment （0.25 μg each time， once a day， for a total of 12 weeks）. The levels of liver function indexes [aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）]， renal function indexes [blood calcium， blood phosphorus， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， cystatin C （Cys-C）， serum creatinine （Scr）， urine microalbumin （mAlb）， β2-microglobulin （β2-MG）， urinary N- acetyl β-D-glucosaminidase （NAG）， 24 h urinary protein]， inflammatory factors [serum interleukin 6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α）， hypersensitive C-reactive protein （hs-CRP）] and RAS activity indexes [renin， angiotensin Ⅰ（Ang Ⅰ）， Ang Ⅱ and aldosterone] were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment， and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions was recorded during treatment. RESULTS There was no statistical significance in the levels of detection indexes between 2 groups before treatment （P＞0.05）. After treatment， the level of blood calcium in the observation group was significantly higher than before treatment （P＜0.05）， but remained at clinically normal level. Compared with before treatment， the levels of Cys-C， Scr， BUN， urine mAlb， β2-MG， NAG and 24 h urinary protein， hs-CRP， IL-6， TNF-α， renin， Ang Ⅰ， Ang Ⅱ and aldosterone were significantly decreased in the observation group after treatment （P＜0.05）. After treatment， the level of blood calcium in observation group was significantly higher than control group （P＜0.05）. Additionally， the levels of Cys-C， Scr， BUN，urine mAlb， β2-MG， NAG， 24 h urinary protein， hs-CRP， IL-6， TNF-α， renin， Ang Ⅰ， Ang Ⅱ and aldosterone were significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of adverse drug reactions between 2 groups during treatment （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Alfacalcidol combined with routine therapy of antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs could effectively improve liver and renal functions， inhibit inflammation and RAS activity in hypertensive patients with renal impairment， with a favorable safety.
