郭军教授治疗特发性男性不育症的经验

男性不育症中,精液分析多种参数异常且无法找到明确病因的称为特发性男性不育症,其发病率不断提高,给国内甚至全球范围内家庭带来精神及经济负担。由于病因不明确,目前现代医学尚无有效治疗方法。传统中医药通过辨证论治在治疗特发性男性不育症时具有优势,郭军教授认为该病以肾脾两虚为本,为体内湿热形成奠定基础,患者久病无子嗣,肝气不畅则郁结,气血津液运行不通则夹血瘀湿热等有形实邪,另外怪病多痰。故对于特发性男性不育症,治法注重补泻兼施,扶正祛邪,补益脾肾为主,对于湿热、痰湿、瘀血则清热祛湿化痰,活血化瘀等,并举验案1例。     

半夏白术天麻汤治疗眩晕高血压病举隅

高血压病是我国发病率较高的疾病之一,西医治疗以长期服用降压药物为主要治疗方式,但常因依从性差的原因导致血压控制不佳,而用中医辨证治疗对于首次发现高血压的患者,可明显有效地降低高血压的发病率。高血压病在中医学中属"眩晕",在临床中常常会用半夏白术天麻汤来治疗眩晕,本文通过跟师医案及临床收集介绍半夏白术天麻汤治疗高血压眩晕临证方药的运用。     

利咽散结方对自发性高血压大鼠血压及相关炎性因子的影响

目的研究利咽散结方对自发性高血压大鼠血压及相关炎性因子的影响。方法将36只自发性高血压大鼠随机分为利咽散结方组、氨氯地平组、模型组,每组12只。正常WKY大鼠12只作为正常组。利咽散结方组给予利咽散结方药液15.6 g/kg灌胃,氨氯地平组给予氨氯地平药液0.001 g/kg灌胃,模型组和正常组均给予等体积的蒸馏水灌胃,均1次/d,连续8周。测量各组大鼠灌胃前及灌胃2周、4周、6周、8周后血压,末次灌胃结束后用ELISA法测定血清炎性因子肿瘤坏死因子(TNF-α)、超敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)水平。结果利咽散结方组与氨氯地平组灌胃2周、4周、6周、8周后收缩压与舒张压均显著低于同期模型组(P均<0.05);利咽散结方组灌胃2周、4周、6周、8周后收缩压均显著高于同期氨氯地平组(P<0.05),而舒张压与同期氨氯地平组比较差异均无统计学意义(P均>0.05)。模型组血清TNF-α、hs-CRP、IL-6水平均明显高于正常组(P均<0.05),IL-10水平明显低于正常组(P<0.05);利咽散结方组与氨氯地平组血清TNF-α、hs-CRP、IL-6水平均明显低于模型组(P均<0.05),且利咽散结方组均明显低于氨氯地平组(P均<0.05);利咽散结方组与氨氯地平组血清IL-10水平均明显高于模型组(P均<0.05),且利咽散结方组明显高于氨氯地平组(P<0.05)。结论利咽散结方可显著降低自发性高血压大鼠血压,其降收缩压效果不如氨氯地平,降舒张压效果与氨氯地平相近,其作用机制可能与调节炎性因子水平有关。

Treatment strategies for hypertension in patients with type 1 diabetes

ABSTRACT

Introduction

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that is characterized by total absence of insulin production. Hypertension is a common comorbidity in T1DM with complex pathophysiology, while it is also a well-recognized risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as other microvascular diabetic complications.

Comparative study of the substantia nigra echogenicity and 123I-Ioflupane SPECT in patients with synucleinopathies with and without REM sleep behavior disorder

ObjectivesHyperechogenicity of the substantia nigra (SN) and abnormal dopamine transporter-single-photon emission computed tomography (DAT-SPECT) are biomarkers commonly used in the assessment of prodromal synucleinopathy. Our goals were as follows: (1) to compare echogenicity of SN in idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (iRBD), Parkinson's disease (PD) without RBD (PD-noRBD), PD with RBD (PD + RBD), and control subjects; and (2) to examine association between SN degeneration assessed by DAT-SPECT and SN echogenicity.Patients/methodsA total of 61 subjects with confirmed iRBD were examined using Movement Disorders Society-unified PD rating scale (MDS-UPDRS), TCS (transcranial sonography) and DAT-SPECT. The results were compared with 44 patients with PD (25% PD + RBD) and with 120 age-matched healthy subjects.Results and conclusionThe abnormal SN area was found in 75.5% PD, 23% iRBD and 7.3% controls. Median SN echogenicity area in PD (0.27 ± 0.22 cm²) was higher compared to iRBD (0.07 ± 0.07 cm²; p < 0.0001) and controls (0.05 ± 0.03 cm²; p < 0.0001). SN echogenicity in PD + RBD was not significantly different from PD-noRBD (0.30 vs. 0.22, p = 0.15).Abnormal DAT-SPECT was found in 16 iRBD (25.4%) and 44 PD subjects (100%). No correlation between the larger SN area and corresponding putaminal binding index was found in iRBD (r = −0.13, p = 0.29), nor in PD (r = −0.19, p = 0.22).The results of our study showed that: (1) SN echogenicity area in iRBD was higher compared to controls, but the hyperechogenicity was present only in a minority of iRBD patients; (2) SN echogenicity and DAT-SPECT binding index did not correlate in either group; and (3) SN echogenicity does not differ between PD with/without RBD.     

Efficacy of percutaneous and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in women with idiopathic overactive bladder: A prospective randomised controlled trial

BackgroundDifferent studies have reported the efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) in treating idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). However, no study has compared the effectiveness of PTNS and TTNS added to bladder training (BT) in idiopathic OAB.ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of PTNS and TTNS added to BT in women with idiopathic OAB.MethodsWe randomised 60 women with idiopathic OAB into 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 19) received BT, Group 2 (n = 19) received PTNS in addition to BT, and Group 3 (n = 20) received TTNS in addition to BT. PTNS and TTNS were performed 2 days a week, for 30 min a day, for a total of 12 sessions for 6 weeks. Patients were evaluated by incontinence severity (pad test), a 3-day voiding diary (frequency of voiding, incontinence episodes, nocturia and number of pads used), symptom severity, quality of life, treatment success (positive response rate), treatment satisfaction (Likert scale), discomfort level and preparation time for stimulation (sec).ResultsAt the end of treatment; severity of incontinence, frequency of voiding, incontinence episodes, nocturia, number of pads used, symptom severity and quality of life were significantly improved in Groups 2 and 3 versus Group 1 (P < 0.0167). Treatment success and treatment satisfaction were higher in Groups 2 and 3 than Group 1 (P < 0.001 and P < 0.0167, respectively). Level of discomfort was lower, treatment satisfaction was higher and preparation time for stimulation was shorter in Group 3 than Group 2 (P < 0.05).ConclusionBoth the PTNS plus BT and TTNS plus BT were more effective than BT alone in women with idiopathic OAB. These 2 tibial nerve stimulation methods had similar clinical efficacy but with slight differences: TTNS had shorter preparation time, less discomfort level and higher patient satisfaction than PTNS.
