Methods： Sixty infants in conformity with the diagnostic criteria of diarrhea due to spleen deficiency were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group by the random digital table, 30 cases in each group. The infants in the treatment group were treated by Nie-pinching the spine manipulation and traditional infantile tuina, in addition to the routine basic treatment. The infants in the control group were treated by the same traditional infantile tuina in addition to the routine basic treatment. The infants in the two groups were treated once every day, 4 weeks as a course. Totally, the treatment was given for a course. The symptom integrals of spleen deficiency were used to assess the improvement in the symptoms. The colorimetry was used to determine the excretory rate of urine D-xylose. Results： in the comparison of the same group before and after the treatment, the differences in the global score of spleen deficiency symptoms and the excretory rate of urine D-xylose in the two groups were statistically significant （all P〈0.01）. After the treatment, the differences in the global score of spleen deficiency symptoms and the excretory rate of urine D-xylose between the two groups were all statistically significant （both P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Chiropractics can reduce the integrals of spleen deficiency symptoms and elevate the excretory rate of urine D-xylose in the infants with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, so as to enhance the therapeutic effects by alleviating the symptoms of spleen deficiency and the absorptive function of the small intestine.展开更多

Methods： A total of 180 cases in conformity with the diagnostic criteria of NAFLD in pattern of liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 90 cases in each group, and finally 88 cases in the treatment group and 90 cases in the control group were recruited for statistics. The treatment group was managed by acupoint thread-embedding method, and the control group was treated by oral administration of Polyene Phosphatidylcholine capsules. Both groups were treated for 6 months. Before and after the treatment, liver enzymology, blood fat test, abdominal B ultrasonic examination, and assessment of clinical effects were respectively processed. Results： After treatment, alanine transaminase （ALT）, aspartate transaminase （AST）, total cholesterol （TC）, and triglyceride （TG） decreased in the treatment group, and were significantly different from those in the control group after treatment （all P〈0.05）. There was no statistically significant inter-group difference in the degree of fatty liver （by B ultrasound examination） before treatment （P〉0.05）. After treatment, the improvement degree of fatty liver in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group （P〈0.05）. The total effective rates were 89.8% in the treatment group and 76.7% in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The acupoint thread-embedding method can reduce the levels of ALT, AST, TC and TG in NAFLD patients, and can improve the pathologic degree of fatty liver and its clinical effects are remarkably better than that of oral medications.展开更多

The control group was treated with routine acupuncture, and stimulated with sparse and dense wave of electric acupuncture for 15 min after arrival of needling sensation, and then the needles were taken out. The observation group was treated with Zhu Lian＇s type Ⅰ excitation needling technique, by inserting the needles with the quick inserting method, swift and temporary lifting and thrusting technique for shallow insertion for 5times, by an in-and-out technique, without retaining the needles.Results： The total effective rate was 96.7% in the observation group and 83.3% in the control group. The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant（P〈0.05）. After the treatment, the first urination time was shorter in the observation group than that in the control group, with a statistical significance（P〈0.01）. After the treatment, the volume of residual urine after the first urination was less in the observation group than that in the control group（P〈0.01）.Conclusion： Zhu Lian＇s type Ⅰ excitation needling technique can effectively promote the voluntary urination and bladder emptying in patients with postpartum urinary retention, and it takes effect faster.展开更多

Methods： A total of 80 cases with LIDH in conformity with the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group or a control group by their visit order, 40 cases in each group. The points from the Governor Vessel, L1-L5 Jiaji （EX-B 2） points, from the first lateral line of the Bladder Meridian, Huantiao （GB 30）, Weizhong （BL 40） and Yanglingquan （GB 34） were selected for acupuncture in the treatment group. Shenshu （BL 23）, Dachangshu （BL 25）, Ashi （Extra） points and Weizhong （BL 40） were used for routine acupuncture in the control group. The clinical effects of the two groups after 2-course treatments and recurrence rates three months later were observed. The pain severity before and after treatments was assessed by visual analog scale （VAS）. The improvement of the patient＇s pathological situation was evaluated by the performance assessment of lumbar disease treatment from Japanese Orthopedic Association （JOA）. Results： After the treatment for two courses, there was no dropped-out case in the two groups. The curative rates and total effective rates were respectively 32.5% and 92.5% in the treatment group versus respectively 12.5% and 82.5% in the control group. The differences in the curative rates and total effective rates between the two groups were statistically significant （both P〈0.01）. After the treatment, VAS and JOA scores remarkably declined in the patients of the two groups, with statistical differences in comparison with those of the same group before treatment （both P〈0.05）. In follow-up check of three months, the recurrence rate was 10.7% in the cured and remarkably effective cases in the treatment group and was 29.4% in the control group. The recurrence rates of the two groups were statistically different （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The aligned needling technique is remarkable in the clinical effects, obvious in the analgesic effects and low in the recurrence rate in the treatment of LIDH.展开更多

After the treatment, VAS and JOA scores remarkably declined in the patients of the two groups, with statistical differences in comparison with those of the same group before treatment （both P〈0.05）. In follow-up check of three months, the recurrence rate was 10.7% in the cured and remarkably effective cases in the treatment group and was 29.4% in the control group. The recurrence rates of the two groups were statistically different （P〈0.05）.
