Currently, there are no treatments available to improve outcome follow- ing SCI, leaving individuals with permanent and lifelong physical disability. Worldwide it is estimated that more than 500,000 people sustain a SCI each year, with average lifetime cost of paraplegia and quadriplegia estimated at $5 million and $9.5 million respectively. We therefore urgently need effective therapies to improve quality of life following SCI, and this requires a greater understanding of how cell and axonal injury develops after the traumatic event.展开更多

Method: 73 inpatients with acute cerebral thrombosis were randomly divided into a control group of 34 cases and a treatment group of 39 cases. The content of FIB and DD in plasma was detected before treatment and on the 7th and 14th days after treatment. Result: FIB content in plasma after treatment was lower than that before treatment in the control group (P<0.01) and more remarkable in the treatment group (P<0.001). There was an obvious difference in DD content before and after treatment in both groups. DD content on the 7th and 14th days after treatment in the treatment group was obviously higher than that in the control group (P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively). Conclusion: Chinese medicines for promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis can reduce the FIB content in plasma of patients with cerebral thrombosis, raise the DD content in plasma, cause the peak of DD content appear earlier and obviously improve hypercoagulability of blood in patients with cerebral thrombosis.展开更多

Methods: Eighty postoperative patients of breast cancer were selected and divided into two groups, the treated group (40 cases) was given intravenous Shenmai injection for 7 days and compared with the control group (40 cases) in wound healing time, postoperative drainage volume, complication and blood picture, and the NK cell, T lymphocyte subsets (CD 3, CD 4, CD 8), were compared before and after treatment. Results: The wound healing time and postoperational complication in the treated group were less than those in the control group significantly. There was no difference between the two groups in WBC and platelet count, but the recovery of hemoglobin in the treated group was quicker than that in the control group significantly (P<0 05), as comparing with the control group, the NK cell, CD 4, CD 4/CD 8 ratio in the treated group were elevated faster than those in the control group significantly (P<0 05). Conclusion: Shenmai injection was beneficial to the recovery of postoperative patients of breast cancer, to reducing the occurrence of complication and was favorable to conduct postoperative chemotherapy smoothly.展开更多
