基于文献研究的推拿外治法不良事件分析与对策

[目的] 了解国内推拿不良事件现状,促进推拿手法的标准化,从而提高推拿治疗的安全性。[方法] 采用回顾性期刊文献研究,检索中国知网中国期刊全文数据库、维普中文科技期刊全文数据库、万方数据库、中国生物医学文献数据库的推拿不良事件病例报道类文献,对使用的手法、意外情况类型、原发疾病、事故原因、病例数等进行统计分析。[结果] 检出有效文献202篇,共 709个病例。分析结果显示推拿不良事件主要包括骨折与脱位、神经损伤、晕厥、截瘫、椎间盘突出症等。扳法、按法、牵引、被动肢体屈伸等手法标准化程度低,在推拿治疗中易导致不良事件发生。[结论] 部分推拿手法的安全性尚待提高,推拿手法标准化是提高其安全性的重要途径,相关工作亟待开展。     

超早期推拿对骨骼肌急性钝挫伤模型大鼠肌细胞膜修复相关蛋白dysferlin表达的影响

目的:观察超早期推拿对骨骼肌急性钝挫伤模型大鼠肌细胞膜修复相关蛋白dysferlin表达的影响,探寻dysferlin在骨骼肌钝挫伤肌细胞膜修复中的作用机制。方法:SD大鼠55只,随机分为正常对照组(n=5)、自然恢复组(n=25)、推拿组(n=25)。根据推拿治疗的天数计时,自然恢复组和推拿组分别在1d、2d、3d、5d、7d五个时间点处死,每亚组每个时间点5只,在腓肠肌标记的区域内取肌肉组织,HE观察组织的形态变化,运用Western blot检测蛋白dysferlin的表达情况,并进行统计学分析。结果:HE结果显示,与正常对照组相比,骨骼肌钝挫伤后,1d和2d肌纤维出现肿胀;3d出现炎性细胞浸润且自然恢复组比推拿组更加严重;5d炎性细胞浸润更加明显;7d推拿组炎性细胞较5d明显减少,结缔组织形成较少,7d自然恢复组有大量的结缔组织填充在肌纤维之间。WB结果显示:dysferlin在模型组中比在正常对照组中的表达明显增多;各个相应时间点推拿组较自然恢复组表达量明显增多(P0.05),且随着时间的推移dysferlin在推拿组各亚组、自然恢复组各亚组中的表达量呈逐渐上升趋势。结论:在骨骼肌急性钝挫伤模型大鼠腓肠肌修复过程中,超早期推拿可增加膜修复蛋白dysferlin的表达,促进破裂的肌细胞膜及时修复,可能有利于损伤肌细胞的修复,从而帮助受损的骨骼肌修复。     

穴位埋线对颈椎病疗效的影响

目的：探讨穴位埋线、中医汤药和按摩对颈椎病的治疗作用。方法将120例颈椎病患者随机分为穴位埋线组（40例）、中医汤药组（40例）和按摩组（40例）。穴位埋线组通过对颈项部相关穴位埋线进行治疗;中医汤药组以葛根汤加减进行治疗;按摩组是以舒经活血、理筋整复进行治疗。观察颈椎病症状消失时间的长短、愈后在一定时间内有无复发。结果穴位埋线组痊愈率为90％,中医汤药组痊愈率为85％,按摩组痊愈率为75％。穴位埋线组优于中医汤药组和按摩组,并缩短患者的治疗时间、减少患者复发的次数、医疗费用。结论穴位埋线组可以显著改善颈椎病,促进颈椎病的康复。     

大黄贴敷联合复方聚乙二醇电解质散口服对便秘患者肠道准备给药时机的影响

The study on the clinical effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint catgut embedding guided by musculoskeletal ultrasound in the treatment of nerve root sciatica: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background:Nerve root sciatica (NRS) is a common orthopedic disease, which usually occurs between 20 and 40 years of age, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year and is being younger. The disease has no special effect of treatment, clinically generally taking the symptomatic treatment, such as taking short-term glucocorticoids, sedatives, analgesics, and so on. Long-term use of drugs will adversely affect the patient''s gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidney function. The surgical treatment has a high risk of surgery, high cost, side effects, and other problems, so the choice of treatment method has always been a difficult problem in clinical and scientific research. The study shows that 90% of patients with sciatica can be cured by non-surgical treatment, so conservative therapy is often used in the treatment of sciatica, traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods in the treatment of NRS has been widely used, which has achieved good results, but there is no evidence of evidence-based medicine. Therefore, this study uses systematic evaluation to conduct the scientific evaluation of the clinical effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint catgut embedding guided by musculoskeletal ultrasound in the treatment of NRS, and provide evidence-based medical evidence support for the treatment of NRS.Methods:Using the computer to retrieve the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, WANFANG Database, and CBM. Using the subject words and terminology words to retrieve the Chinese-English database and retrieve a randomized controlled study on the clinical effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint catgut embedding guided by musculoskeletal ultrasound in the treatment of NRS, and the range of search time is January 1990 to January 2021. The searched literature is screened and evaluated by two researchers respectively according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. If there is disagreement, discussing it with the third researcher to determine the final inclusion of the literature. Using the RevMan 5.3 software to conduct the meta-analysis.Results:This study will compare the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint catgut embedding guided by musculoskeletal ultrasound in the treatment of NRS.Conclusion:The results of this study will be published in internationally influential academic journals to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the clinical effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint catgut embedding in the treatment of NRS.Ethics and dissemination:This study does not involve specific patients, and all research data comes from publicly available professional literature, so an ethics committee is not required to conduct an ethical review and approval of the study.OSF registration number:DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/Q492E.
