BACKGROUND:Acupuncture has been widely used for chronic musculoskeletal pain syndrome (MPS). Due to the strong influence of sham acupuncture (SA) in clinical trials, the treatment of MPS by acupuncture remains controversial. Different types of SA procedures might produce different responses. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the effect of SA on MPS. METHODS:We searched 8 literature databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on acupuncture for chronic MPS with SA as a control from database inception to November 29, 2022. SA included superficial acupuncture on non-acupoints (SANAs), non-penetration on acupoints (NPAs), and non-penetration on non-acupoints (NPNAs). Two independent reviewers assessed the risk of bias and conducted the research selection, data extraction, and quality assessment of the included RCTs. We conducted data analysis using the RevMan 5.3 and STATA 14 software packages, and traditional meta-analysis was adopted for direct comparison. A network meta-analysis (NMA) was executed using frequency models in which we combined all available direct and indirect evidence from RCTs. The pain-related indicators were set as primary outcomes, and GRADEpro online was implemented for the assessment of evidence quality. RESULTS:Forty-two RCTs were included in this study, encompassing a total of 6876 patients and incorporating 3 types of SA procedures. In our traditional meta-analysis, true acupuncture (TA) was more effective than SANAs, NPAs, and NPANAs concerning MPS. In the NMA, TA was the most effective modality, followed by SANAs, NPAs and NPANAs, and then the blank control (BC). In this NMA and according to the therapeutic effects in the pain indicators, the rankings of SA were as follows: SANA (surface under the cumulative ranking curve [SUCRA], 65.3%), NPA (SUCRA, 46.2%), and NPANA (SUCRA, 34.2%). The quality of the evidence for outcomes ranged from "low" to "moderate." CONCLUSIONS:Compared with SA, TA was effective in treating MPS. The effects produced by different SA procedures were different, and the order of effects from greatest to least was as follows: SANA, NPA, and NPANA.

Background: Wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia syndrome ( WEBINO) is a rare disorder comprising bilateral exotropia, bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia, and impaired convergence. It is usually caused by a midbrain lesion. Case presentation :We describe a rare case of WEBINO, with the lesion located in the lower pons, in a 69-year-old man with acute ischemic stroke. Conclusions :Our report alerts physicians to the possibility of bilateral WEBINO due to unilateral infarction.
OBJECTIVE: Clinical practice recommendations issued by the American Diabetes Association in 2019 include the health status and quality of life of people with diabetes as part of their daily care , and believe that it’s important to strengthen physical exercise for diabetic patients. Previous studies have shown that the Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese sport, can regulate blood glucose and blood lipids, weight loss and improve immunity.This study was aimed at investigating the effects and safety of Modified Baduanjin on patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Forty patients were divided into the Modified Baduanjin group (Α group, n=22) and the control group (Β group, n=18) for 12 weeks according to their individual motivation. On the basis of conventional hypoglycemic treatment, Group Α practiced Baduanjin for 30 minutes per day, 4 times per week, while no exercise intervention was given in group Β. The main study outcomes included changes in fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, glycosylated hemoglobin,Quality of Life score( QoL score, 100 in total), muscle endurance, and flexibility after 12 weeks. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between the two groups at baseline. Group Α in glycosylated hemoglobin (pre 6.56±0.70 vs post 6.28±0.70) , QoL score (pre 80.18±9.02 vs post 86.64±9.91) , muscle endurance (pre 3.76±4.38 vs post 6.91±5.73) and flexibility (pre 2.86±9.69 vs post 5.88±9.75) . All the above results were statistically significant (P<0.05).There were no statistical significance in group Β (P>0.05) . 2) Few changes were found in fasting blood glucose and lipid parameters both in two groups(P>0.05). 3) All patients completed the exercise programme with no adverse effects. CONCLUSION: Chinese traditional exercise is effective and safe in regulating and control the level of blood glucose, enhancing physical fitness and improving the quality of life.
PURPOSE: It was reported that early diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with sedentary lifestyle, and proper exercise can improve its symptoms and prognosis. However, limited data evaluated the effects and safety of traditional Chinese exercise in patients with early DN. This study was aimed at observing the effects and safety of traditional Chinese exercise on early DN. METHODS: Participants (n=21) were divided into the traditional Chinese exercise group (A group, n=12) and the control group (B group, n=9) for 12 weeks. On the basis of foundation treatment, group A was given the exercise 30 minutes per day, 4 times a week while no exercise intervention was given in group B. Fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum creatinine, urea, and the MUNSH scale were taken at baseline and 12 weeks later. RESULTS: 1) Significant differences were found in group A in HbA1c (6.90±0.92 vs 6.43±0.78, P < 0.05), BMI (26.30±3.49 vs 25.83±3.06, P < 0.05) and VO2peak (15.43±1.49 vs 16.14±1.89, P < 0.05) compared with group B (Ps > 0.05). The differences of MUNSH scale were significantly greater: positive emotion (6.75±3.14 vs 7.92±2.97, P < 0.01), positive experience (8.08±4.03 vs 10.00±3.77, P < 0.05), total score (32.67±11.28 vs 38.33±12.27, P < 0.01). 2) No adverse reactions were observed during the trail. Few changes were found in renal function and urinary protein in two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Traditional Chinese exercise therapy was safe and effective in treating early DN patients. It also has effects on improving the physical and mental health. Supported by JDZX2015136

今人或因饮食不节,或因嗜食肥甘厚腻之品,亦或因情志不遂等,脾胃病者十之八九,而脾运失常者其达病所之药力能有几何;加之药不雄峻,其疾不了,中药、西药实乃以毒制毒之品,其毒性副作用甚是严峻;再者随着环境污染的严重,杂病怪病愈来愈多,故单凭内治之法难免有独脚难行,孤掌难鸣之感.中医外治法通过药物或者针灸等器具作用于孔窍、腧穴、经络避免胃肠吸收,在急症、疑难杂症治疗上独具一格,当然也存在其一定的局限性. 尤在泾在《医学读书记》中说道:"兵无向导,则不达贼境;药无引使,则不达病所."中药内治疗人以四气五味之偏性,而中医外治法善引经通络,直达病源,故两者结合治疗内科疾病有势如破竹,直捣黄龙之势. 现将临床内科疾病外治的重要性及其临床分类、应用总结如下,以飨读者.
