Objective To study the clinical efficacy of topiramate combined with carbamazepine combined with phenytoin in elderly seizures. Methods A total of 105 elderly patients with epilepsy were enrolled in this study from August 2014 to July 2016 in Fuzhou Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital. The patients were aged 61 to 80 years. There were 42 males and 63 females with epilepsy. The course were 1 to 5 years; 55 cases were partial onset, 50 cases were systemic attack. According to the different treatment methods, the patients were divided into A, B, C three groups, each group were 35 patients. Group A was daily treated with 4 to 8 mg/kg topiramate; Group B was treated with 0.3 g carbamazepine combined with 250 to 300 mg phenytoin per day. Group C was daily treated with 4 to 8 mg/kg topiramate and 0.3 g carbamazepine combined with 250 to 300 mg phenytoin. The total effective rate, the incidence of adverse reactions, the number of seizures before and after treatment were compared among the three groups. Results The total effective rate of group C was higher than that of group A and B, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the number of epileptic seizures between the three groups before treatment (P>0.05). The number of seizures in group C was significantly lower than that in group A and B (P<0.05). Conclusions The treatment of topical epilepsy patients with topiramate and carbamazepine combined with phenytoin can significantly improve the total effective rate of treatment, protect the safety of medication, reduce the number of patients with epilepsy, so that patients can quickly return to normal life. It would be worthy for clinical promotion and use.
The spine is one of the most common sites for bone metastases from malignant tumors, and its incidence is increasing year by year. It often leads to severe pain, pathological fractures, nerve compression, and spinal cord dysfunction, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. The comprehensive treatment of spinal metastases with both traditional Chinese and Western medicine has shown significant efficacy, especially in improving clinical symptoms, promoting postoperative recovery as soon as possible, and enhancing the quality of life. Based on the latest research progress at home and abroad and from the perspective of clinical application, this guideline, grounded in evidence-based medical evidence, has formed 25 recommendations covering treatment objectives, efficacy evaluation, rational selection of traditional Chinese medicine, treatment plans, and postoperative rehabilitation. It provides diagnostic and therapeutic suggestions for orthopedic oncologists, oncologists, radiologists, pain specialists, and other professionals engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, or integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as specialized nurses.
