Thirty Cases of Obsession Treated by Point-Stimulation and with Small Dose of Chlorimipramine

Objective: To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of point-stimulation for obsession. Methods: Sixty cases of obsession were divided into two groups: a control group of 30 cases treated with chlorimipramine (Ch1), and a treatment group of 30 cases treated by point-stimulation (PS) plus chlorimipramine (PS Chl). The therapeutic effects and side-effect were evaluated according to the criteria set in Yale-Brown Obsession Scale (Y-BOCS), Hamilton's depression scale (HAMD), brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS) and treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS). Results: The cure rate and markedly effective rate were respectively 26.7% and 56.6% in the control group, and 43.3% and 50% in the treatment group, suggesting that the therapeutic effect in the treatment group was better than that in the control group. The incidence of adverse side-effects was 73.33% in the control group and 46.67% in the treatment group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Point-stimulation plus small dose of chlorimipramine was superior to the simple chlorimipramine treatment, indicating that the combined method was more effective and safe for obsession with less side effects.

Forty-six Cases of Acute Cerebral Infarction Treated with the Combined Use of Acupuncture and Drugs

Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of treatment for acute cerebral infarction with the combined use of acupuncture and drugs, and study the therapeutic mechanism. Methods: 88 cases of acute cerebral infarction were divided randomly into two groups, a treatment group of 46 cases treated with acupuncture, Danshen Zhushe Ye (丹参注射液 Saliva Injection) and routine western drugs and a control group of 42 cases treated simply with drugs. The therapeutic effects were evaluated based on the evaluation criteria for damage of the nerve function. Observation was also made on changes in the skull CT images, and in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in serums, and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) in serums. Results: After treatment for 15 days, the total effective rate of the treatment group reached 80.43%, while that of the control group was 61.90%, showing significant differences. The effective rate shown by the skull CT images of the treatment group was 51.61%, while that of the control group was 45.16%, showing no significant differences. But as compared with the control group, the activities of SOD and GSH-px in serums were significantly enhanced, and the levels of MDA and NO, and activity of NOS in serums were significantly decreased in the treatment group. Conclusion: The prompt acupuncture treatment of acute cerebral infarction can markedly raise the clinical therapeutic effects, improve the activity of SOD and GSH-px in serums, lower down the level of MDA in serum, and markedly decrease NO level and NOS activity in serums.
