Methods Access database was established to summarzie the patents regarding hyperuricemia disclosured by State Intellectual Property Office（SIPO） of the People＇s Republic of China in 1986-2015. Statistically analysis was performed by Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System（TCMISS）. Results The literatures of Chinese herbal medicines treating hyperuricemia were 1223, and 138 papers were included by excluding and screening, and contain 282 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine. Conclusion By analyzing the frequency, efficacy, flavor, channel tropism,and composition of the herbs used, we recognize that the efficacy of herbs in curing hyperuricemia is mostly clearing heat and promoting diuresis, invigorating the circulation of blood, dispersing stasis, alleviating water retention, and reinforcing deficiency concurrently. Flavors are mostly sweet, bitter, and cold. Channel tropism is mainly to liver, spleen, stomach, lung, and kidney. It provides the medication consideration for clinical treatment of hyperuricemia.展开更多

Five studies showed positive results in terms of the effectiveness of acupuncture/Chinese medicine（CM）; five studies showed negative results. This article summarizes the acupuncturerelated clinical trials published over the last 20 years in JAMA, and addresses what seems to be a fundamental ambivalence in Western medical journals regarding the scientific validity of acupuncture/CM. As yet there has been no consensus on the role of acupuncture in healthcare in Western countries. This is hardly surprising, considering the conflicting evidence found in published studies. Skepticism regarding acupuncture/CM is largely grounded in the fact that an accurate model for assessing the true clinical effects of acupuncture has yet to be created. This article discusses some of the pitfalls which result from applying Western-based scientific principles to CM, and suggests that in many cases, ＂negative＂ studies have been misinterpreted. The clinical experience of acupuncture practitioners is often in direct conflict with many of the negative conclusions published in journals. We are in need of an accurate model for sham and placebo treatments, and must analyze all published studies for design flaws and faulty conclusions.展开更多
