ObjectiveTo evaluate the traditional Chinese medicine fumigation curative effect for the treatment of various diabetic peripheral neuropathy. MethodsDatabases such as China Biology Medicine Database, VIP, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, WanFang Data, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched by computer for controlled clinical trials consistent with the inclusive criteria from the establishment of these databases until February 2016. The literature quality evaluation method of Cochrane system evaluation manual was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the studies, and then relevant data were extracted for Meta-analysis with RevMan 5.1 software. ResultsA total of 15 randomized controlled trials involving 1579 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that 15 days after intervention, the total effective rate of the traditional Chinese medicine fumigation group was higher than that of the western medicine group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant [RR=1.39, 95%CI (1.25, 1.55), P<0.00001]; one month after intervention, the total effective rate of the traditional Chinese medicine fumigation group was significantly higher than that of the western medicine group [RR=1.26, 95%CI (1.15, 1.38), P<0.00001]; two months after intervention, the total effective rate of the traditional Chinese medicine fumigation group was significantly higher than that of the western medicine group [RR=1.22, 95%CI (1.10, 1.36), P=0.0002]. After 1 month of treatment, motor nerve conduction velocity motion [WMD=4.42 m/s, 95%CI (3.40, 5.43) m/s, P<0.00001] and median nerve sensory nerve conduction velocity [WMD=4.02 m/s, 95%CI (2.96, 5.08) m/s, P<0.00001] increased significantly more in the traditional Chinese medicine fumigation group. ConclusionThe Chinese medicine fumigation treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy is better than oral or intramuscular vitamin B12, vitamin B1, oral oryzanol and so on.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of " washing, blowing and plugging” triple therapy on wound treatment after procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) operation.MethodsTwo hundreds and four patients with moderate to severe hemorrhoids treated by PPH from June 2017 to September 2018 in the Fifth Hospital of Zhangjiakou City of Hebei province were selected as study subjects and divided into two groups according to the random number table, the control group received saline fumigation followed by sitz bath and conventional wound dressing change on the second day after operation, the observation group were treated with " washing, blowing and plugging” triple therapy and routine wound dressing change on the 2nd day after operation. The clinical efficacy, wound pain, wound exudation, skin margin edema, hemorrhage, granulation tissue filling time and complete wound healing time were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the effective rate between the observation group and the control group in degree Ⅱ hemorrhoids (P>0.05), while the effective rates of patients with degree Ⅲ and Ⅳ hemorrhoids were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The visual analogue scale (VAS), wound exudation, skin margin edema and hemorrhage scores of the two groups decreased gradually with time (P<0.05), meanwhile, the scores of VAS, wound exudation, skin margin edema and hemorrhage at each time point in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The granulation tissue filling time and complete wound healing time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionsAfter PPH operation, the " washing, blowing and plugging” triple therapy has definite clinical effect, can significantly improve wound pain, wound exudation, skin margin edema and hemorrhage, and effectively shorten the wound healing time.
ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula" at different concentrations on patients after mixed hemorrhoidectomy. MethodsTwo hundred and ten patients having undergone mixed hemorrhoidectomy between October and November 2013 were randomized into seven groups, with 30 patients in each group. Group A was treated with 6% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula"; Group B was treated with 6% "Zhiji Fumigation Formula"; Group C was treated with 4% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula"; Group D was treated with 4% "Zhiji Fumigation Formula"; Group E was treated with 3% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula"; Group F was treated with 3% "Zhiji Fumigation Formula"; And Group G was treated with branch water. Each group was fumigated at 45℃ for five minutes, then hip bath at 40℃ for five minutes with a course of 10 days. The curative effect of pain of wound, edema, effusion, urinary disturbance were observed. ResultsThe therapeutic effect in group C was the best (P<0.05), and the relief of postoperative complications (pain, edema, effusion) was better than the other groups (P<0.05). ConclusionTreatment with 4% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula" for postoperative complications is the most effective.
Objective To investigate the pollution status of ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machine of traditional Chinese medicine and the effect of precision disinfection intervention, and to provide scientific basis for strengthening the cleaning and disinfection work of ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machine of traditional Chinese medicine. Methods From January to February 2024, samples were collected from the surface of seven ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machines of traditional Chinese medicine that could be used normally in the Department of Traditional Chinese Proctology of the First People’s Hospital of Longquanyi District, Chengdu. Samples were collected from four points, namely the nozzle, the front edge of the hip bath cover, the rear edge of the hip bath cover, and the outer edge of the hip bath cover, and at four times, namely before use, after use, after pre-intervention routine disinfection, and after post-intervention precision disinfection (including training of personnel, solidification of disinfection process, and improvement of disinfection supplies), to compare the pollution status and disinfection effect of the object surface at different points and sampling times, and analyze the microbial detection. Results In terms of different times, the qualified rate of specimens was 28.6% before use, which decreased to 14.3% after use; the qualified rate of specimens was 39.3% after pre-intervention routine disinfection, which increased to 92.9% after post-intervention precision disinfection, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=17.923, P<0.001). A total of 158 strains of bacteria were detected from unqualified specimens, including 121 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (accounting for 76.58%) and 37 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (accounting for 23.42%). The detected bacteria were mainly common environmental bacteria. The top three were Kocuria rhizophila, Dermacoccus nishinomurai, and Microbacterium aureum. The main pathogenic bacteria of common nosocomial infections were Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli, and no multi-drug resistant strains were detected. Conclusion Targeted cleaning and disinfection measures should be taken to ensure the disinfection effect and reduce the risk of nosocomial infection for special medical instruments such as ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machine of traditional Chinese medicine.
