Methods Eighty-seven patients with severe craniocerebral injury were selected and randomly divided into the treated group (n=44) and the control group (n = 43), they were treated with conventional treatment, and XSTI was given additionally to the treated group. Intracranial pressure (ICP) and Glasgow coma score (GCS) of all patients were measuredafter 1 or 2-week treatment, and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) of them was determined 3 months later. Then the therapeutic effect in the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the ICP was lower, GCS higher and GOS better in the treated group than those in the control group significantly, all showing statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion XSTI has marked clinical therapeutic effect in treating patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Original article on CJITWM (Chin) 2004 ;23 (3): 213展开更多

There are hundreds of natural products derived from herbs that have been identified and proven to be effective for glucose-lowering and wound-healing effects, such as flavones. In this case study, we reported that a 76-year-old male patient with severe traumatic DFU was cured after drinking yellow tea (dehydrogenated Camellia sinensis) as a postprandial auxiliary treatment for six months. Previously, the patient was required to be hospitalized, but the wound deteriorated after five months. The patient drank yellow tea at approximately 12:30 pm (the active time of heart meridian) after lunch every day. Five grams of yellow tea were boiled in one liter of water and covered above 70°C for approximately 30 minutes. He experienced profuse sweating on his back after drinking yellow tea, with no other adverse effects. His lifestyle and healthcare remained constant except for replacing green tea with yellow tea. After six months, the ulcer had completely healed, and after one year of follow-up, no new abnormalities or side effects were found. This self-controlled case study indicates that flavone-enriched yellow tea or other herbs may be an auxiliary therapy for diabetes and its complications.展开更多
