摘要
Objective: To observe the effect of warm needling plus oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets on blood lipids in cerebral infarction patients. Methods: A total of 125 eligible cases were randomly allocated into group A (n=42), group B (n=40) and group C (n=43). Cases in group A received warm needling plus oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets, cases in group B received warm needling, whereas cases in group C received oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets. Results: After treatment, the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) all dropped obviously in the three groups, with significant differences (all P<0.05), modified Barthel index (BI) scores all significantly rise (all P<0.05), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) remained unchanged (all P>0.05). After treatment, the changes of TC, TG and LDL-C in group A were significantly different from those in group B and group C (all P<0.05), while the changes showed no statistical significance between group B and group C (P>0.05). There were no between-group differences in HDL-C among the three groups (all P>0.05); the modified BI scores in group A and group B were significantly higher than that in group C (both P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between group A and group B (P>0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was significantly higher in group A than that in group B and group C (both P<0.05), there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P>0.05). Conclusion: Warm needling and oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets both can adjust blood lipids effectively in cerebral infarction patients with a similar therapeutic efficacy, while the effect gets better based upon combining both methods; acupuncture-moxibustion plays an important role in the recovery of nerve functions in cerebral infarction patients. © 2017, Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
