METHODS: Using stratified random sampling according to fibrinogen (Fib) levels, 145 liver cirrhosis patients due to hepatitis B complicated by coagulation disorder were treated. Of them, 70 in research group were treated with TCM by "nourishing yin, cooling blood and invigorating blood circulation" and Western medicine, 75 in control group were treated with conventional Western medicine. The indexes of liver function, coagulation function and bleeding events were observed and compared. RESULTS: The prothrombin time (PT) was shorter and the fibrinogen (Fib) level was higher in the research group than in the control group (Fib = 1.6-2.0 g/L, 1.1-1.5 g/L, and ≤ 1.0 g/L). The total bilirubin (TBIL) level was significantly lower in the research group than in the control group, except for the subgroup of FIB ≤ 1.0 g/L.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty-two patients in total, diagnosed as stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colorectal cancer from February 2000 to March 2006, were recruited from Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and the General Hospital of Beijing Military Area. They were followed-up once every 3-6 months. Twenty cases dropped out from the cohort. The remaining 202 patients were all treated with routine WM treatment [including R0 radical operation, or chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy according to national comprehensive cancer network (NCCN) clinical guidelines]. These patients were assigned to two groups based on whether or not they were additionally treated with TCM comprehensive therapy (orally administered with a decoction according to syndrome differentiation, combined with a traditional patent drug over one year). Ninety-eight patients from Xiyuan Hospital were treated with WM and TCM (combined group), and 104 patients from the General Hospital of Beijing Military Area were treated with WM alone (WM group). The demographic data at baseline were comparable, including the operation times, age, sex, TNM staging, and pathological types. The patients were followed-up for one to five years. Up to now, there are 98, 98, 77, 64, and 47 patients with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years of follow-up in the combined group, respectively; and 104, 104, 97, 81, and 55 patients in the WM group, respectively. The results of the 5-year follow-up of all the patients will be available in 2011. Results: The relapse/metastasis rate of 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year were 0 (0/98), 2.04% (2/98), 11.69% (9/77), 14.06% (9/64), and 21.28% (10/47) in the combined group, and were 4.80%(5/104), 16.35% (17/104), 21.65% (21/97), 25.93% (21/81), and 38.18%(21/55) in the WM group, respectively. A significant difference was found in the second year between the two groups (X^2=12.117, P = 0.000). Median relapse/metastasis time was 26.5 months in the combined group and 16.0 months in the WM group. Conclusion: The combined therapy of TCM and WM may have great clinical value and a potential for decreasing the relapse or metastasis rate in stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colorectal cancer after conventional WM therapy.展开更多

Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) and transcranial Doppler(TCD) were used to observe changes of cognitive ability and cerebral blood flow in VCIND patients before and after treatment in both groups.Then the clinical data were analyzed so as to compare the efficacy in two groups. Results:After 3 month-treatment in combined treatment group,the scores of executive ability, attention,abstract,delayed memory,orientation in the MoCA were significantly increased compared with those before treatment and those in control group after treatment.Besides,blood flow velocity of anterior cerebral artery increased significandy than that before treatment and that in control group after treatment.Conclusions:CBT tablet can improve the therapeutic efficacy as well improve cognitive ability and cerebral blood flow supply of patients with VCIND.展开更多

Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) and transcranial Doppler(TCD) were used to observe changes of cognitive ability and cerebral blood flow in VCIND patients before and after treatment in both groups.Then the clinical data were analyzed so as to compare the efficacy in two groups. Results:After 3 month-treatment in combined treatment group,the scores of executive ability, attention,abstract,delayed memory,orientation in the MoCA were significantly increased compared with those before treatment and those in control group after treatment.Besides,blood flow velocity of anterior cerebral artery increased significandy than that before treatment and that in control group after treatment.Conclusions:CBT tablet can improve the therapeutic efficacy as well improve cognitive ability and cerebral blood flow supply of patients with VCIND.
