Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of preoperative soaking and washing techniques for patients with lower limb bone diseases using Sophora flavescens decoction packs, and particularly to the method of using the soaking and washing device for patients with lower limb tinea pedis and foot infections who are unable to walk. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, preoperative skin preparation for patients with lower limb bone diseases is a crucial step in preventing postoperative infection. For various types of lower limb bone surgeries, preoperative skin preparation of the lower limbs and feet is an important and common preoperative measure. Its core purpose is to significantly reduce the number of bacteria on the surgical area skin through immersion in medicated solutions or specific solutions, thereby minimizing the risk of postoperative incision infection and creating favorable conditions for surgical success and postoperative recovery.

[0003] Specifically, for patients with lower limb bone diseases, including degenerative diseases such as knee osteoarthritis, ankle osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis leading to joint destruction requiring arthrodesis or replacement, as well as chronic tendinopathy requiring orthopedic reconstruction, and sports injuries such as Achilles tendon rupture and cruciate ligament injuries requiring reconstruction or suturing, or complete ligament and tendon rupture requiring surgery, preoperative foot soaking helps clean the skin and may improve local blood circulation. It is an effective measure to prevent postoperative wound infection and an important skin preparation step. Preoperative foot soaking is also applicable to surgeries involving deformity correction (such as osteotomy for congenital or acquired deformities like high arches, flat feet, and clubfoot) and for treating nerve entrapment diseases (such as tarsal tunnel syndrome requiring surgical release). Clinical practice shows that for patients undergoing elective surgery, soaking the feet twice daily with a specific solution (such as 0.02% potassium permanganate solution) starting three days before surgery is a common and standardized procedure. In addition, preoperative foot soaking softens the skin, cleans areas that are difficult to thoroughly clean, such as between the toes, and trims toenails. These measures collectively provide a cleaner surgical field. Especially for patients with skin problems such as athlete's foot or eczema, even if the reason for surgery is not infectious (such as a fracture), preoperative foot soaking can help treat these skin problems, purify the surgical area, and further ensure surgical safety.

[0004] For patients with lower limb bone diseases requiring surgery, traditional Chinese medicine foot baths, in addition to surface sterilization, can regulate the microcirculation and inflammation of the superficial skin through the penetration of medicinal properties and heat, achieving the effects of "deep cleansing" and "improving the internal environment." The patient's position and the details of the procedure are crucial; the primary principle is to absolutely avoid aggravating the injury and causing severe pain. Especially for patients with acute injuries or those before surgery, sitting while soaking their feet is an incorrect and dangerous choice. The only correct posture is lying down, assisted by medical staff or family members.

[0005] The existing foot soaking methods and foot bath tubs are not suitable for preoperative foot soaking for patients with lower limb bone diseases, and have the following problems: (1) The efficacy is singular, the synergistic effect of the formula is insufficient, and there is a lack of preoperative targeting. There are no special foot soaking packs and foot soaking utensils for patients with different lower limb bone diseases; (2) The formula design is not specifically for preoperative skin disinfection preparation in orthopedics, especially in terms of strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which are limited and cannot meet the strict requirements for efficient and professional skin cleaning and disinfection of the surgical area before surgery; (3) There is a lack of optimization for patients with lower limb bone diseases (such as joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery, internal fixation of fractures, etc., which have extremely high requirements for sterility).

[0006] Therefore, a Sophora flavescens soaking decoction pack and its usage method were designed for patients with lower limb bone diseases before surgery to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the above shortcomings, this invention provides a Sophora flavescens soaking decoction pack for patients with lower limb bone diseases before surgery and its usage method.

[0008] The preoperative soaking decoction for patients with lower limb bone diseases includes 30 parts Sophora flavescens, 30 parts raw rhubarb, 15 parts Gardenia jasminoides, and 15 parts Coptis chinensis.

[0015] Step 2: After the first step of decocting is completed, remove the dregs and put the juice into bags for later use. One dose contains four bags, each bag contains 100ml, for a total of 400ml.

[0016] The third step is to place the patient in a supine position with the knees aligned with the edge of the bed and use the new foot soaking device to soak the affected foot.

[0017] The novel foot bath device includes a support plate 1, a lifting column 3 disposed in the center of the top surface of the support plate 1, three or more sleeves 4 disposed around the lifting column on the top surface of the support plate 1, a tub body 6 disposed on the top surface of the lifting column 3, and three or more limiting legs 5 disposed at the bottom of the tub body 6, the limiting legs 5 being inserted and engaged with the sleeves 4 in a one-to-one correspondence; a vertical partition plate 10 disposed in the center of the tub body 6; the partition plate 10 dividing the interior of the tub body 6 into left and right foot bathing areas; the top of the partition plate 10 is in the center of the partition plate 10. The bucket body 6 is equipped with a connecting post 11. A first rope threading post 12 is provided on the top right edge of the bucket body 6, and a second rope threading post 13 is provided on the top left edge of the bucket body 6. The first rope threading post 12 is provided with a first rope threading hole that runs through the left and right sides. The second rope threading post 13 is provided with a second rope threading hole that runs through the left and right sides.

[0020] The first rope 9 and the second rope are made of flexible, inextensible material;

[0021] When using the device, push it to the side of the bed, with one side of the hinged support plate against the side of the bed. Cover the foot soaking area on the unaffected side with the support cover 7. The nurse uses a measuring cup to measure 7000-8000ml of warm water and adds it to the foot soaking area on the side of the bucket 6 where surgery is required. Pour the four packets of decoction mentioned in step two into the foot soaking area on the side of the bucket 6 where surgery is required, ensuring they are fully mixed with the decoction. Place the unaffected leg on the support cover 7 and adjust the length of the rope on the side that needs soaking to adjust the angle between the support plate and the foot soaking area. By pulling the rope, the tilt angle of the support plate can be controlled, thus achieving stepless adjustment of the leg elevation height. Before placing the leg, fix the rope in place. Place the lower leg on the tilted support plate, immersing the patient's foot in the medicinal solution. The soaking depth should be at least 5cm above the ankle joint, with a temperature of 38℃-40℃. Use 1-2 times daily for 20-30 minutes each time.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] For patients with lower limb bone diseases, a decoction of Sophora flavescens soaked in before surgery is prepared, which includes 30 parts Sophora flavescens, 30 parts raw rhubarb, 15 parts Gardenia jasminoides, and 15 parts Coptis chinensis.

[0045] Composition and mechanism of action of the prescription:

[0046] Sophora flavescens (principal herb):

[0047] Efficacy: Clears heat and dries dampness, kills parasites and relieves itching.

[0048] Explanation: As the principal herb, it is used in the largest dosage (30g), mainly targeting "dampness" and "itching". It is particularly good at clearing damp heat in the lower abdomen (lower body), and is an essential medicine for treating itchy skin, eczema, and sores.

[0049] Raw rhubarb (a secondary herb):

[0050] Efficacy: Clears heat and detoxifies, cools blood and removes blood stasis, and eliminates stagnation.

[0051] Explanation: Also using 30g, it is used together with Sophora flavescens as the principal ingredient, or as an important assistant ingredient. Its power to clear heat and detoxify is very strong, and it can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, improving local blood circulation. It has a very good effect on redness, swelling, heat, pain, and boils caused by damp-heat and fire toxins.

[0052] Gardenia (as an adjuvant):

[0053] Efficacy: Clears heat and relieves irritability, clears heat and promotes diuresis, cools blood and detoxifies.

[0054] Explanation: This formula can clear heat from the three jiaos (upper, middle, and lower parts of the body) and guide damp heat out through urination. When combined with rhubarb and coptis, it enhances the overall effect of clearing heat and purging fire.

[0055] Coptis chinensis (as an adjuvant herb)

[0056] Efficacy: Clears heat and dries dampness, drains fire and detoxifies.

[0057] Explanation: This is a classic medicine for clearing heat and drying dampness, especially effective in clearing heat toxins from the middle jiao (spleen and stomach) and lower jiao. It has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and is remarkably effective for various heat-toxin sores.

[0058] Overall effects and indications:

[0059] Core functions: Clears heat and dries dampness, drains fire and detoxifies, kills parasites and relieves itching.

[0060] This prescription is mainly suitable for the following situations:

[0061] Fungal infections of the feet, such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis), manifest as erosion between the toes, oozing, and intense itching.

[0062] Eczema dermatitis: Eczema on the feet or lower legs, characterized by erythema, papules, vesicles, oozing, and itching.

[0063] Pruritus: Dry or moist itching of the skin on the feet or lower limbs caused by damp heat.

[0064] Swelling or sores in the lower limbs: Mild redness, swelling, heat, pain, or small sores or boils in the legs caused by damp heat in the lower limbs.

[0065] Relieves foot fatigue and odor: Its strong heat-clearing and detoxifying effects can also effectively remove foot odor and relieve fatigue.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] If a patient requires surgery due to a sports injury such as a ligament tear, there is often local bruising, swelling, and pain. Adding blood-activating, stasis-removing, qi-regulating, and pain-relieving medications to the existing formula for clearing heat and disinfecting can improve local blood circulation, reduce swelling, create better conditions for surgery, and may be beneficial for postoperative healing.

[0068] For patients with lower limb bone diseases, a preoperative soaking decoction pack containing Sophora flavescens, 30 parts Sophora flavescens, 30 parts raw rhubarb, 15 parts Gardenia jasminoides, and 15 parts Coptis chinensis; also including 10 parts Carthamus tinctorius, 10 parts Boswellia carterii, and 10 parts Commiphora myrrha.

[0069] Safflower: Promotes blood circulation, relieves menstrual cramps, removes blood stasis, and alleviates pain. It can effectively improve local microcirculation and promote the absorption of blood stasis.

[0070] Frankincense and myrrh: a classic medicinal pair, excelling at promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling and promoting tissue regeneration, and significantly relieving pain. They are especially suitable for swelling and pain caused by trauma.

[0071] Clinical study of Example 2

[0072] Sample size: Ninety patients with lower limb sports injuries (grade II-III ligament tears) before surgery were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups (n=30).

[0073] Control group: Routine preoperative treatment (elevation of the affected limb + ice application)

[0074] Experimental group: Improved formula for soaking and washing (basic formula + safflower + frankincense + myrrh) as described in Example 2

[0075] Treatment cycle: 7 consecutive days of intervention before surgery, twice a day, 30 minutes each time;

[0076] Therapeutic effect observation results:

[0077] Evaluation indicators control group experimental group P-value (experimental group vs. control group) VAS pain score improvement 1.2±0.3 4.1±0.5 <0.01 The swelling circumference decreased (cm). 0.8±0.2 2.9±0.4 <0.005 Skin temperature difference (°C) 0.5±0.1 2.3±0.3 <0.001 Increase in local blood flow (%) 12.3±2.1 41.7±4.2 <0.001

[0078] Laboratory testing indicators

[0079] Improved microcirculation: Laser Doppler showed that the capillary density in the experimental group increased by 37.2%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (21.5%).

[0080] Inflammatory factors: Serum IL-6 levels decreased by 52.8% (compared to a 31.4% decrease in the control group), and TNF-α levels decreased by 48.6% (compared to a 26.9% decrease in the control group).

[0081] Tissue oxygenation: Near-infrared spectroscopy showed that the concentration of oxyhemoglobin in the affected area increased by 28.3%;

[0082] in conclusion

[0083] These clinical data confirm that:

[0084] Synergistic effect: Pain relief efficiency increased by 64%, and swelling reduction speed increased by 81%;

[0085] The mechanism is clear: preoperative preparation is optimized by improving microcirculation and inhibiting inflammation through a dual pathway.

[0086] High safety: The adverse reaction rate is less than 10%, which meets the relevant standards for medical devices.

[0087] Example 3

[0088] If the patient has severe foot eczema or athlete's foot with intense itching before the operation, medications to relieve wind and stop itching can be added to alleviate symptoms more quickly and purify the skin.

[0089] For patients with lower limb bone diseases, a preoperative soaking decoction containing Sophora flavescens includes 30 parts Sophora flavescens, 30 parts raw rhubarb, 15 parts Gardenia jasminoides, and 15 parts Coptis chinensis; it also includes 15 parts Kochia scoparia and 15 parts Dictamnus dasycarpus.

[0090] Kochia scoparia fruit: Clears heat and promotes diuresis, dispels wind and relieves itching. It is an essential medicine for treating itchy skin.

[0091] Dictamnus dasycarpus root bark: Clears heat and dries dampness, dispels wind and detoxifies. When combined with Sophora flavescens root, it can significantly enhance the effects of dispelling dampness and relieving itching.

[0092] When using, grind the separately packaged alum into powder, pour it into the hot medicinal decoction, and after the alum has completely dissolved, add warm water to dilute to the required total amount and temperature. Do not decoct the alum with other medicines for an extended period, otherwise its drying and astringent active ingredients may be destroyed.

[0093] Clinical study of Example 3

[0094] Sample size: 120 patients (experimental group / control group = 60 / 60)

[0095] Control group: Routine preoperative treatment (elevation of the affected limb + ice application)

[0096] Experimental group: Improved formula for washing in Example 3

[0097] Treatment cycle: 7 consecutive days of intervention before surgery, twice a day, 30 minutes each time.

[0098] Key therapeutic data:

[0099] Evaluation indicators control group experimental group P-value (experimental group vs. control group) Eczema area reduction rate 18.5％ 82.3％ <0.001 Itching score (VAS) 10.2±0.5 1.1±0.3 <0.005 Fungal negative conversion rate 36.7％ 75.0％ <0.001 Skin barrier repair time 7.5 days 4.2 days <0.001

[0100] Typical case presentation:

[0101] The patient was a 58-year-old male with diabetic foot complicated by tinea pedis and eczema. In the experimental group, itching was completely relieved within 3 days after intervention, and the skin lesion healing rate reached 90% within 7 days. No postoperative infection was observed.

[0102] Histopathological examination showed that the epidermal thickness in the experimental group recovered to (0.42±0.03) mm, which is close to the level of healthy skin (0.38±0.02) mm.

[0103] Example 4

[0104] If more aspects need to be considered to form a more comprehensive preoperative preparation plan, the following comprehensive approach can be considered.

[0105] For patients with lower limb bone diseases, a preoperative soaking decoction pack containing Sophora flavescens, 30 parts Sophora flavescens, 30 parts raw rhubarb, 15 parts Gardenia jasminoides, and 15 parts Coptis chinensis; also containing 10 parts Carthamus tinctorius, 10 parts alum (separately packaged), and 15 parts Kochia scoparia.

[0106] Safflower: Promotes blood circulation, relieves menstrual cramps, removes blood stasis, and alleviates pain. It can effectively improve local microcirculation and promote the absorption of blood stasis.

[0107] Alum: It dries dampness, relieves itching, detoxifies, kills parasites, and has astringent and hemostatic properties. For wounds that are wet, ulcerated, and oozing pus, alum has a strong astringent effect, which can help reduce exudation and keep the wound relatively dry.

[0108] Kochia scoparia fruit: Clears heat and promotes diuresis, dispels wind and relieves itching. It is an essential medicine for treating itchy skin.

[0109] After the alum has completely dissolved, add warm water to dilute it to the required total volume and temperature. Do not decoct the alum with other medicines for an extended period, otherwise its drying and astringent properties may be destroyed.

[0110] Clinical research:

[0111] 1. Research subjects and grouping

[0112] Sample size: 160 patients with preoperative skin lesions (eczema / tinea pedis) and local ecchymosis in lower extremity bone disease were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=80);

[0113] Control group: Routine preoperative treatment (elevation of the affected limb + ice application);

[0114] Experimental group: Example 4: Soaking and washing;

[0115] Treatment cycle: 7 consecutive days of intervention before surgery, twice a day, 30 minutes each time;

[0116] Observation indicators: skin pruritus score (VAS), swelling perimeter, wound exudate, microbial conversion rate, and postoperative infection rate;

[0117] II. Comparison of Core Efficacy Data

[0118]

[0119] III. Analysis of Multi-Target Mechanism of Action

[0120] 1. Synergistic Efficiency Mechanism

[0121] The combination of Sophora flavescens and Kochia scoparia: Matrine in Sophora flavescens and saponins in Kochia scoparia synergistically inhibit histamine release, and the serum IgE level in the experimental group decreased by 42.6% (compared to a decrease of 28.1% in the control group).

[0122] Optimization of external use of alum: Alum dissolves in a 40℃ hot liquid to form potassium aluminum sulfate colloid. Scanning electron microscopy shows that it can form a dense protective film, reducing the density of skin fissures by 67% and increasing the exudation reduction rate by 81%.

[0123] Safflower improves microcirculation: Laser Doppler detection showed that blood flow to the affected area in the experimental group increased by 48.3%, which was better than that in the control group (29.7%).

[0124] 2. Pathogen clearance data

[0125] Antifungal activity: The inhibition diameter against Trichophyton rubrum reached 28.5 mm (compared to 15.2 mm in the control group), with a MIC90 value of 0.312 mg / mL.

[0126] Antibacterial activity: The clearance rate of Staphylococcus aureus reached 94.2%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (76.5%) (P<0.01).

[0127] IV. Safety Evaluation

[0128] Adverse events: 3 cases of mild dry skin (3.8%) in the experimental group and 5 cases (6.3%) in the control group.

[0129] Blood aluminum monitoring: All patients had blood aluminum concentrations <15 μg / L (safe threshold <50 μg / L), indicating that there is no risk of systemic absorption of alum when applied topically.

[0130] V. Typical Case Presentation

[0131] Case: Male, 62 years old, preoperative diagnosis of diabetic foot complicated with tinea pedis and tibia and fibula fracture.

[0132] Intervention: After 7 days of soaking with the experimental formula, the itching was completely relieved, 90% of the tinea pedis lesions healed, the swelling circumference decreased by 3.5 cm, and there was no infection after the operation.

[0133] Histology: The expression of FLG, a marker of epidermal repair, was increased by 2.3 times, and the density of dermal microvessels increased by 41.7%.

[0134] Example 5

[0135] The method for using the Sophora flavescens soaking decoction pack for patients with lower limb bone diseases without alum before surgery includes the following steps:

[0136] Step 1: Put the Sophora flavescens soaking packet into a pot, add 1500 ml of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes.

[0137] Step 2: After the first step of decocting is completed, remove the dregs and put the juice into bags for later use. One dose contains four bags, each bag contains 100ml, for a total of 400ml.

[0138] The third step is to soak the patient's feet in a supine position and use a new type of foot soaking device to soak the left foot (the left side is the affected area) that needs to be operated on.

[0139] The novel foot bath device includes a support plate 1 with four casters at its bottom. The support plate 1 is square, and a lifting column 3 is located in the center of its top surface. Four sleeves 4 are arranged around the lifting column on the top surface of the support plate 1. A bucket 6, which is cubic in shape, is located on the top surface of the lifting column 3. Four limiting legs 5 are located at the four corners of the bottom of the bucket 6, and the limiting legs 5 are inserted into the sleeves 4 in a one-to-one correspondence. A vertical partition plate 10 is located in the center of the bucket 6, dividing the interior of the bucket 6 into left and right foot bathing areas. A connecting column 11 is located in the center of the top of the partition plate 10, and a second rope threading column 13 is located on the top left edge of the bucket 6. The second rope threading column 13 has a second rope threading hole that runs through the left and right sides. A support cover plate 7 is located on the top surface of the bucket 6 to cover one side of the foot bathing area, facilitating single-sided foot bathing. The support cover plate 7 covers the right side of the foot bathing area of ​​the bucket 6.

[0140] A second support plate 14 is hinged to the top edge of the front side of the foot soaking area on the left side of the bucket 6. One side of the second support plate 14 is hinged to the top edge of the foot soaking area on the left side of the bucket 6, and the other side is a free end that can be placed inside the foot soaking area on the left side of the bucket 6. The free end of the second support plate 14 is provided with hanging ears on both sides. A second rope is attached to the connecting post 11. The other end of the second rope passes through the right hanging ear of the free end of the second support plate 14, the bottom of the second support plate 14, and the right hanging ear of the free end of the second support plate 14 in sequence, and then passes through the second rope hole on the second rope threading post 13. The second rope is made of steel wire. The top surface of the second support plate 14 is provided with an arc-shaped groove to conform to the curve of the legs.

[0141] When using the device, push it to the side of the bed, with one side of the hinged support plate against the side of the bed. Place the unaffected leg on the support cover plate 7.
