Recently,at the routine work meeting of Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Professor Liang Hui,a distinguished expert,made a detailed work report to the medical staff of the hospital on the construction and management of the stroke center of the hospital,and carried out related work promotion.It is understood that the stroke Center is an important part of the Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to build an Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine encephalopathy center.The development of this work marks that the construction of the hospital's integrated Chinese and Western Medicine encephalopathy Center has entered the implementation stage,and it also means that the people around the happy area have a more reliable“escort fleet”for stroke prevention and treatment.

Treat as soon as possible and as early as possible to snipe the“number one killer”of stroke.

The number of deaths due to stroke in our country exceeds 2 million every year.About 70%of patients have disabilities of varying degrees such as limb paralysis and cognitive impairment,and 40%of patients will have severe disabilities and lose the ability to work.To this end,the state attaches great importance to the prevention and treatment of stroke.In 2015,the National Brain Defense Commission officially proposed the construction of a stroke center as a key link in stroke treatment.In 2021,the ten ministries and commissions jointly issued the"Comprehensive Plan to Strengthen the Prevention and Treatment of Stroke and Reduce One Million New Disabilities",proposing to implement comprehensive stroke prevention and control,strengthen stroke emergency first aid,and standardize the implementation of treatment.Recently,the goal of building a brain health management center has been put forward,pushing the perspective of management to the height of brain health for the whole people.

Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is located in the happy area of Zhifu with a population of 300,000.With such a large population base,according to the epidemiological investigation and analysis of the incidence of stroke in China,it is estimated that there are about 1,500 acute stroke patients and about 5,000 stroke patients in this region every year.The task of prevention and control is very difficult.As a result,the establishment of a stroke center to protect the health of regional citizens is not only necessary for Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,but also the mission and responsibility of the top three public hospitals.

Since 2023,Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has started the construction of a stroke center.The core goal of the construction of the stroke center is to revolve around the word“fast”.

We know that stroke,also known as stroke,has two conditions,hemorrhagic and ischemic,and the disability and mortality rates are relatively high.Among them,ischemic stroke accounts for 80%of strokes,which is extremely harmful to the life and health of patients.How to deal with this killer?That is to seek medical attention as soon as possible and get the thrombolysis and embolization as soon as possible!Professor Liang Hui,a distinguished expert at Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,said that receiving treatment one minute earlier could save 1.9 million more brain nerve cells.If thrombolytic treatment can be carried out during the golden period of time,the patient's brain function is expected to return to normal.

So,how much time can the Stroke Center of Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine buy for patients in the hands of death?

Data show that among the acute stroke patients recently rescued by Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the shorter time from admission to thrombolysis is 31 minutes,which is half shorter than the 60 minutes generally prescribed at home and internationally.This is a very gratifying achievement,which is inextricably linked to the current implementation of the Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine stroke organization management construction.

Professor Liang Hui introduced that at present,Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has optimized the emergency process and management model of stroke,effectively integrating the work of the emergency department,encephalopathy Department,neurosurgery department,interventional department,imaging department,inspection department and other departments,so that the hospital's stroke management has taken it to a new level.The hospital has all-round and efficient treatment capabilities such as venous thrombolysis,arterial embolization,aneurysm embolization,and cerebral artery stents.With the development of the work,the process of stroke treatment will be more convenient and efficient.After the patient becomes ill,he or she will go to the nearest hospital of traditional Chinese medicine to see a doctor,which will shorten the rescue time,and after rapid and effective treatment,he or she will get a better recovery.

There are different types of dementia patients,and people must pay attention to prevention and treatment when they reach middle age.

Perhaps there is no shortage of this kind of people around everyone:forgetful,lost and scattered;always miscalculate when buying groceries and shopping,and can't find money;love to nag and talk incorrectly;go out and can't find the house……

This may be Alzheimer's disease,a category of dementia patients.This kind of disease caused by brain lesions manifests as a variety of cognitive decline.In the later stage,it will develop to forgetting who you are,not knowing your loved ones,and even behavioral disorders and personality changes,and loss of self-care ability.In addition to Alzheimer's disease,there are different types of dementia such as vascular dementia,lewy body dementia,and frontotemporal dementia.

How can people get dementia?Western medicine believes that cerebral dementia is mainly related to damage to brain tissues such as the hippocampus in the brain.Cerebrovascular disease,metabolic diseases,intracranial infections,intracranial tumors,brain trauma,hypoxemia,etc.may damage brain tissue and lead to dementia.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dementia is mostly caused by internal injuries in Qiqing and long-term illness and old age.The patient's marrow is reduced,the brain is eliminated,and the brain is disabled.The main symptoms are loss of kidney elements and turbidity of phlegm.The early symptoms of dementia are mostly manifested as memory loss,which is easy to ignore.By the time it is diagnosed,it is often in the middle and late stages of the disease.

“People usually have two misconceptions.One is that dementia is exclusive to the elderly,and young and middle-aged people will not get it;the other is that dementia is a natural phenomenon of aging and there is no need for treatment.”"These two misunderstandings should be avoided!""Professor Liang Hui emphasized.

In fact,many patients with dementia begin to develop in middle age.Some middle-aged people often have symptoms related to cognitive impairment,such as easy to forget things,slow response,irritability,temper,anxiety,tiredness,fatigue,and lack of interest in anything.This requires considering whether it is a precursor to dementia.You should go to a qualified hospital for examination,evaluation,prevention and treatment as soon as possible.When people reach middle age,they must pay attention to the prevention of dementia.Early detection,early identification,and early treatment are very critical to blocking the development of the disease.

Dementia is different from natural brain aging,but a pathological brain damage,so it should be treated in time,and treatment cannot be given up because of old age.The integrated treatment of Chinese and Western medicine can reduce symptoms and delay the progress of the disease in patients with early and middle-stage dementia in a timely manner,and can further improve the quality of life of patients and caregivers for patients with advanced dementia.

A few days ago,the Department of Encephalopathy of Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine admitted a rare patient with frontotemporal lobe dementia.The patient's expression was sluggish,unresponsive,aphasia,drowsiness,indifference after awakening,memory,calculation,and orientation were all reduced.Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosed the syndrome as loss of kidney elements and turbid phlegm.The treatment is to replenish the kidney and refill the essence,reduce phlegm and enlighten the mind.After that,the patient achieved a certain rehabilitation effect through traditional Chinese medicine using Yijing to fill the marrow and activate blood.

It is understood that the department adopts the dialectical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and the characteristic standardized diagnosis and treatment plan combined with experience,coupled with acupuncture,moxibustion and characteristic traditional Chinese medicine nursing therapies based on the theories of medullary sea and Zhi deficiency,coupled with the diagnosis,evaluation and treatment of Western medicine,it is suitable for patients with dementia of various types and periods.

Give full play to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to protect the health of patients with various types of encephalopathy

In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine,encephalopathy is all diseases and symptoms related to the mind.In addition to stroke and dementia,headaches,dizziness,anxiety and depression,insomnia,and Parkinson's disease also belong to the category of encephalopathy.The integrated treatment of Chinese and Western medicine for these diseases has a unique curative effect.

For example,dizziness can be seen in a variety of diseases.Because the symptoms are often repeated,the patient is quite distressed.The Department of Encephalopathy of Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine combines the diagnosis and treatment equipment of modern medicine.On the basis of accurate diagnosis and based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,it conducts four consultations and dialectical treatment,and treats it according to people.Oral administration of Chinese and Western medicines+acupuncture and moxibustion+acupoint application+auricular pressure beans and other treatments can achieve fast onset,small side effects,and good results in reducing residual symptoms.

Another example is tremor disease,which in Western medicine is Parkinson's disease,idiopathic tremor and other diseases.The main clinical manifestations are shaking and trembling of the head or limbs,and inability to control oneself.Trembling like the wind,there are about four types of evidence,virtual and real.The Department of Encephalopathy of Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine attaches great importance to dialectical treatment and seeking the best treatment for the disease.It selects traditional Chinese medicine decoctions,proprietary Chinese medicines and traditional Chinese medicine injections,and cooperates with acupuncture(head needles,body needles),moxibustion,massage and other characteristic treatments of traditional Chinese medicine,and cooperates with Western medicine.All symptoms such as slow movement and tremor will be significantly improved.

There are also diseases such as headache,insomnia,anxiety,depression,and epilepsy.Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine and modern academic thought,the Department of Encephalopathy of Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine organically integrates the diagnosis and treatment methods of the Department of Encephalopathy,acupuncture and moxibustion,and rehabilitation,forming a three-in-one,complementary characteristic diagnosis and treatment model of Chinese(traditional Chinese medicine,acupuncture and moxibustion)and Western medicine.
