Objective

To assess the efficacy and safety in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) of Western medication plus Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) preparations.

Methods

This prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled, and multicenter clinical trial began on September 17, 2008, and was completed on June 25, 2011. A total of 340 inpatients, aged 40–79 years, with exacerbating CHF from 10 hospitals were enrolled and randomly allocated within 24 h of admission. The trial included three intervention periods. During hospitalization, the control group received western medication for CHF and the treatment group received Danhong injection with Shenfu injection or Shenmai injection. After discharge, all patients were treated with Qiliqiangxin capsules and Buyiqiangxin tablets or a placebo for 6 months. After the 6-month intervention, both groups received only continuous western medication. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The efficacy assessments were as follows: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), Lee's HF score, the 6-minute walking test (6MWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). The safety assessments were as follows: blood and urine routine examination, hepatic and renal function, electrolytes in blood and adverse events.

Results

Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed a 30.99% reduction in all-cause mortality and an improved survival rate. The treatment group showed greater improvement in 6MWT (P = 0.02) than the control group on discharge, after 12-month follow-up, there was a time-group interaction for MLHFQ (P = 0.03). Incidence rate of adverse events and other relevant safety indexes were not statistically significant between the two groups.

Conclusion

Western medication plus TCM treatment can increase 6-minute walking distance (improve exercise tolerance) and quality of life with heart failure patients.  相似文献

Background Bell‘s palsy involves acute facial paralysis due to inflammation of the facial nerve. Acupuncture and moxibustion (acu-moxi) is beneficial in treating facial palsy. In order to verify the efficacy of acu-moxi on Bell‘s palsy, a randomized single-blind, multicenter clinical trial was performed.Methods A total of 480 patients from four clinical centers were involved in this trial, of whom 439 completed the trial and 41 did not. All patients were randomly assigned to either the control group or to one of two treatment groups. The control group was treated with prednisone, vitamin B1, vitamin B12,and dibazole; the treatment groups were treated either with acu-moxi alone or in combination with prednisone, Vitamin B1, vitamin B12, and dibazole. Symptoms and signs, the House-Brackmann scale, and facial disability index (FDI) scores were assessed and determined both pre- and post-treatment to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment methods. Results The characteristics of the control and two treatment groups were comparable without statistically significant differences before treatment. There were significant differences between the control and treatment groups after treatment (X^2=15.265, P=0.018). According to evaluations based on the House-Brackmann scale and FDI scores, the effectiveness of treatment in the two treatment groups was better than in the control group and was most effective in patients receiving acumoxi treatment alone (Z=-2.827, P=0. 005).Conclusion The efficacy of acu-moxi treatment for Bell‘s palsy is verified scientifically.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion (HSM) on asthma.MethodsLarge databases in China and overseas were searched by electronic and manual means to collect information on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Two evaluators independently extracted data and evaluated the quality of RCTs according to Cochrane Review Handbook v5.0. RevMan v5.0.20 was used for statistical analyses.ResultsFourteen RCTs involving 637 patients were collected. Thirteen RCTs compared the effects of HSM and Western Medicine. After 3-month treatment and after 6-month follow-up, there was no significant difference in effective rate [relative risk (RR) =1.01, 95% CI (0.92, 1.12), and 1.12, (0.93, 1.36), respectively], in the asthma control test score of asthma symptoms [weighted mean difference (WMD) = − 1.54, 95% CI (− 3.54, 0.47), and 1.41, (− 0.48, 3.29), respectively] and in the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF). One RCT compared the effect of HSM with warm-suspended moxibustion. After 6-month follow-up, there was a significant difference in FEV1 and PEF [WMD=0.51, 95% CI (0.10, 0.92), and 1.78, (1.06, 2.50), respectively]. After 3-month treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups. One RCT compared the effect of HSM with acupoint application. After 3-month treatment, there was no significant difference in the effective rate [RR=0.68, 95% CI (0.42, 1.12)].ConclusionsHSM did not show superiority to conventional Western Medicine and acupoint application in terms of curative effects, and may be superior to warm-suspended moxibustion with regard to long-term curative effects. Because of low quality of the included RCTs, this conclusion must be bolstered with higher-quality RCTs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of auricular acupoint bloodletting in treatment of insomnia

METHODS

Participants (n = 60) with insomnia were randomized into two groups to receive treatment of auricular acupoint bloodletting: low frequency group, 1 times/week for five weeks (n = 30); high frequency group, 2times/week for two weeks (n = 30). The following outcomes were measured blindly at baseline, after first treatment, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks: Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI).

RESULTS

The groups were balanced at baseline for insomnia and demographic characteristics. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of any of the outcomes, at the first follow-up time point. However, the therapeutic effect of LFG (once per week) is obviously lower than that of HFG (twice per week). In addition, there was no significant difference in the side effects between the two groups.

CONCLUSION

The treatment of insomnia with different frequencies of auricular acupoint bloodletting is effective and has less side effects. More reasonable treatment frequencies are worth further study.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the clinical effects of Xiyanping injection intervention in pediatric patients with mild hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD).

Methods

A total of 329 patients were stratified and block-randomized for symptomatic treatment of HFMD and assigned to one of the following groups: Western Medicine (group A, n = 103), Xiyanping injection (group B, n = 109), or Xiyanping injection and symptomatic treatment using Western Medicine (group C, n = 117). During the trial, fever, rash, ulcers of the mouth were observed among participants in each group before and after treatment, and conversion rates from mild to severe HFMD were measured.

Results

After 3–7 days' treatment, no significant differences in the conversion rates from mild to severe HFMD were observed among the three groups (P > 0.05). There was a significantly low number of patients with the onset time of antifebrile effect, vanished time of hand and foot rashes and cumulative time for the ulcers in the mouth vanished, among the three groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The onset time of antifebrile effect of patients in groups B and C were markedly shorter compared with those in group A (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); there was no statically significant difference observed between groups B and C (P > 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the time for body temperature recovery among the three groups (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in adverse effects among the three groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusion

Xiyanping injection together with use of Western Medicine is most effective for symptomatic treatment of mild HFMD. No severe adverse reactions were observed.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE:To assess the efficacy and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).METHODS:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) involving heat-sensitive moxibustion in the treatment of LDH were retrieved from the Chinese Biological Medical Literature database(1978-20011),Weipu database(1989-2011),Wanfang digital journal(1998-2011),China National Knowledge Internet(1979-2011),PubMed(1966-2011),EMBASE(1980-2011),and Cochrane Library(Issue 1,2011).Hand-search of the relevant journals from the Library of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was also adopted for the collection of data.Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently with a specially designed extraction form.The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0.20 software was used for data analyses.RESULTS:A total of 6 trials involving 580 patients were included.Meta-analysis showed that the total effectiveness rate in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group was significantly different when compared with conventional moxibustion [RR=1.19,95% CI [1.06,1.33)] and diclofenac sodium [RR=1.47,95% CI [1.17,1.85)],but similar to that of acupuncture.The cure rate in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group was significantly different when compared with conventional moxibustion [RR=1.58,95% CI(1.04,2.40)] and diclofenac sodium [RR=1.91,95% CI(1.01,3.60)],but similar with that of acupuncture.In terms of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores,significant differences were noted in subjective indices,objective indices,and daily life subscales.Two trials reported that there were no adverse events over the duration of treatment.CONCLUSION:Compared with conventional moxibustion,acupuncture,and diclofenac sodium,heat-sensitive moxibustion in the treatment of LDH is superior in efficacy.Further large-scale trials are required to define the role of heat-sensitive moxibustion in the treatment of this disease.  相似文献

Background:A simplified protocol for regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) using a commercial calcium-containing replacement solution, without continuous calcium infusion, is more efficient for use in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We aim to design a randomized clinical trial to compare the safety and efficacy between calcium-free and calcium-containing replacement solutions in CRRT with RCA.Methods:Of the 64 patients receiving RCA-based postdilution continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) enrolled from 2017 to 2019 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 35 patients were randomized to the calcium-containing group and 29 to the calcium-free replacement solution group. The primary endpoint was circuit lifespan and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed. Secondary endpoints included hospital mortality, kidney function recovery rate, and complications. The amount of 4% trisodium citrate solution infusion was recorded. Serum and effluent total (tCa) and ionized (iCa) calcium concentrations were measured during CVVHDF.Results:A total of 149 circuits (82 in the calcium-containing group and 67 in the calcium-free group) and 7609 circuit hours (4335 h vs. 3274 h) were included. The mean circuit lifespan was 58.1 h (95% CI 53.8–62.4 h) in the calcium-containing group vs. 55.3 h (95% CI 49.7–60.9 h, log rank P = 0.89) in the calcium-free group. The serum tCa and iCa concentrations were slightly lower in the calcium-containing group during CRRT, whereas the postfilter iCa concentration was lower in the calcium-free group. Moreover, the mean amounts of 4% trisodium citrate solution infusion were not significantly different between the groups (171.1 ± 15.9 mL/h vs. 169.0 ± 15.1 mL/h, P = 0.49). The mortality (14/35 [40%] vs. 13/29 [45%], P = 0.70) and kidney function recovery rates of AKI patients (19/26, 73% vs. 14/24, 58%, P = 0.27) were comparable between the calcium-containing and calcium-free group during hospitalization, respectively. Six (three in each group) patients showed signs of citrate accumulation in this study.Conclusions:When compared with calcium-free replacement solution, RCA-based CVVHDF with calcium-containing replacement solution had a similar circuit lifespan, hospital mortality and kidney outcome. Since the calcium-containing solution obviates the need for a separate venous catheter and a large dose of intravenous calcium solution preparation for continuous calcium supplementation, it is more convenient to be applied in RCA-CRRT practice.Registration:Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR-IPR-17012629)  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of the Sini San at different doses on each sleeping state [slow-wave sleep 1 (SWS1), slow-wave sleep 2 (SWS2), rapid-eye-movement (REM), wakefulness (W)] in insomnia rats and to identify its mode of acaction for improving sleep.MethodsThe insomnia rats were randomly divided into a high-, medium- or low-dose group of Sini San (equal to crude drug 8.8, 4.4, or 2.2 g/kg, respectively) for seven consecutive days.ResultsCompared with pre-administration, SWS2 was significantly increased after administration of the low dose. Compared with pre-administration, W was significantly decreased and SWS1, SWS2, and the total sleeping time (TST) were markedly increased after administration of the medium dose. Compared with pre-administration, W was significantly decreased and SWS1, SWS2, rapid-eye-movement sleep, and TST were significantly longer after administration of the high dose. The effects of Sini San on sleep-wake cycle are dose-dependent.ConclusionThe results suggest that Sini San extends SWS1 and SWS2, which increases the total sleeping time.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), quality of life and immune status of patients with malignant tumors.

Methods

From Jan, 2013 to May, 2014, 37 patients with malignant tumors were included in this prospective single-blinded study, and randomized to receive either electroacupuncture or acupuncture treatment on basis of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy was continued for 2 courses as previous before the treatments, with 21 days as a course of treatment. Patients received acupuncture and electroacupuncture once per day starting at the day before chemotherapy for consecutive 7 days followed by 14 days off, with 21 days as a course of treatment, and continued for two courses of treatment. Then CIPN, traditional Chinese clinical symptoms, quality of life and immune status were all evaluated for each patient prior treatment and after two courses of treatment.

Results

The gender, age, cancer species as well as incidence (83.3% vs 84.2%) and grades of CIPN before treatments were all similar in patients receiving acupuncture or electroacupuncture (all P > 0.05). After treatments, most patients with peripheral neuropathy were cured by two courses of electroacupuncture (84.2% vs 21.1%), whereas the other group of patients had similar incidences of peripheral neuropathy compared with prior-acupuncture (83.3% vs 72.2%). Besides, patients receiving electroacupuncture had lower incidence of peripheral neuropathy than those receiving acupuncture treatment (χ2 = 9.745, P = 0.002). The grades of peripheral neuropathy were significantly different in the two groups post-treatment (χ2 = 13.983, P = 0.007). The total effective rates for traditional Chinese clinical symptoms were 16.7% and 84.2% in acupuncture and electroacupuncture groups, respectively (Z = – 4.239, P < 0.001). The electroacupuncture treatment provided a more satisfactory life for patients compared with acupuncture (Z = – 4.76, P < 0.001). Both electroacupuncture and acupuncture had no effects on immune function.

Conclusion

Electroacupuncture could alleviate CIPN, and improve traditional Chinese clinical symptoms and quality of life, but did not affect immune function.  相似文献
