  METHODS
  The treatment group of 71 cases were treated by injection of fufangdanshen injectio into Tiantu (CV 22) combined with electroacupuncture at Renying (ST 9), and the control group of 51 cases were treated by oral administration of acetylspiramycin and qingyan tablet.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The cured rate and the total effective rate were 60.5% and 90.1% in the treatment group, and 21.6% and 68.6% in the control group, with significantly differences between the two groups (P < 0.01).
