Objective:To observe the effects of Ginger moxibustion combined with iontophoresis with traditional Chinese medicine on the improvement of symptoms, serum platelet activating factor (PAF) level and uterine artery pulsation index in patients with primary dysmenorrhea.Methods 114 patients with primary dysmenorrhea who were treated in our hospital from August 2017 to February 2019 were divided into two groups according to the different treatment schemes. 57 patients in the control group were treated with ibuprofen capsules, and 57 patients in the study group were treated with Ginger moxibustion combined with iontophoresis with traditional Chinese medicine. After three menstrual cycles of treatment, the curative effect was evaluated and the improvement of symptoms was counted. PAF, PAF-AH and platelet adhesion rate were compared, uterine artery hemodynamics was measured, and levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 were measured.Results The overall response rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of different symptoms in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the scores of different symptoms in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, PAF and platelet adhesion rate in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), PAF-AH was significantly higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), and PAF and platelet adhesion rate in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), PAF-AH was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the pulsation index, resistance index and peak systolic-diastolic ratio in the study group were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the pulsation index, resistance index and peak systolic-diastolic ratio in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions Ginger moxibustion combined with iontophoresis with traditional Chinese medicine is helpful to improve the overall response rate of primary dysmenorrhea treatment, reduce the score levels of different symptoms, rationally improve PAF, PAF-AH, platelet adhesion rate, and the pulse index, resistance index, peak systolic-diastolic ratio are decreased significantly, and serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels tend to be normal.

Symptom Assessment and Management in Patients with Lung Cancer Undergoing Conventional or Traditional Chinese Medicine Care

Patients with lung cancer may experience various symptoms as the disease progresses,which may reduce the benefits of cancer treatment,reduce treatment compliance,delay cancer treatment,reduce the quality of life(QoL),and impact survival.This review discusses comprehensive symptom assessment and management,which are crucial for high-quality lung cancer treatment.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is important in relieving cancer-related symptoms in patients with lung cancer.Including patient-reported outcomes(PROs)in clinical trials and practice can provide a better assessment of symptom burden and the effectiveness of symptom management.Patient-centered care with TCM in lung cancer patients may include six steps:Symptom screening,etiology investigation,comprehensive assessment,integrative management,reassessment,and regular symptom follow-up monitoring.PRO measures can be used to evaluate symptom intensity,the degree to which symptoms interfere with activities of daily living,and the QoL.Clearly defined and reliable PRO measures can enhance patient satisfaction and improve symptom control.Quantitative PRO measures developed from the TCM perspective should be considered one of the important outcome measurements in TCM care.A multidisciplinary collaborative symptom management model,including TCM and conventional therapy,will be the future goal for treating patients with lung cancer.

Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Treating Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome:Boosting Immune and Alleviating Symptoms

To respond to the human immunodeficiency virus （HIV）/acquired immune deficiency syndrome （AIDS） epidemic in China, the integration of antiretroviral therapy （ART） and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has important implications in health outcomes, especially in China where the use of TCM is widespread. The National Free TCM Pilot Program for HIV Infected People began in 5 provinces （Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Hubei, and Guangdong） in 2004, and quickly scaled up to 19 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in China including some places with high prevalence, 26,276 adults have been treated thus far. Usually, people with HIV infection seek TCM for four main reasons： to enhance immune function, to treat symptoms, to improve quality of life, and to reduce side effects related to medications. Evidences from randomized controlled clinical trials suggested some beneficial effects of use of traditional Chinese herbal medicine forHIV infections and AIDS. More proofs from large, well-designed, rigorous trials is needed to give firm support. Challenges include interaction between herbs and antiretroviral drugs, stigma and discrimination. The Free TCM Program has made considerable progress in providing the necessary alternative care and treatment for HIV-infected people in China, and has strong government support for continued improvement and expansion, establishing and improving a work mechanism integrating Chinese and Western medicines.

Zishenpingchan granules for the treatment of Parkinson＇s disease：a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled clinical trial

Levodopa preparations remain the preferred drug for Parkinson＇s disease.However,long-term use of levodopa may lead to a series of motor complications.Previous studies have shown that the combination of levodopa and Zishenpingchan granules（consisting of Radix Rehmanniae preparata,Lycium barbarum,Herba Taxilli,Rhizoma Gastrodiae,Stiff Silkorm,Curcuma phaeocaulis,Radix Paeoniae Alba,Rhizoma Arisaematis,Scorpio and Centipede） can markedly improve dyskinesia and delay the progression of Parkinson＇s disease,with especially dramatic improvements of non-motor symptoms.However,the efficacy of this combination has not been confirmed by randomized controlled trials.The current study was approved by the Hospital Ethics Committee and was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Register（registration number：Chi CTR-INR-1701194）.From December 2014 to December 2016,128 patients（72 males and 56 females,mean age of 65.78 ± 6.34 years） with Parkinson＇s disease were recruited from the Department of Neurology of Longhua Hospital and Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China.Patients were equally allocated into treatment and control groups.In addition to treatment with dopamine,patients in treatment and control groups were given Zishenpingchan granules or placebo,respectively,for 24 weeks.Therapeutic efficacy was assessed using the Unified Parkinson＇s Disease Rating Scale,on-off phenomenon,Hoehn-Yahr grade,Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson＇s disease–Autonomic,Parkinson＇s disease sleep scale,Hamilton Anxiety Scale,Hamilton Depression Scale,Mini-Mental State Examination,and the Parkinson＇s Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire.Artificial neural networks were used to determine weights at which to scale these parameters.Our results demonstrated that Zishenpingchan granules significantly reduced the occurrence of motor complications,and were useful for mitigating dyskinesia and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson＇s disease.This combination of Chinese and Western medicine has the potential to reduce levodopa dosages,and no obvious side effects were found.These findings indicate that Zishenpingchan granules can mitigate symptoms of Parkinson＇s disease,reduce toxic side effects of dopaminergic agents,and exert synergistic and detoxifying effects.

Correlation between Traditional Chinese Medicine symptom patterns and serum concentration of zinc,iron,copper and magnesium in patients with hepatitis B and associated liver cirrhosis

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between the patterns of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)syndromes and the serum concentration of zinc,iron,copper and magnesium of patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) and hepatitis B virus(HBV)-induced liver cirrhosis.METHODS:A total of 86 patients were included in the study between March 1,2009 and January 1,2010.All were diagnosed with CHB or HBV-induced liver cirrhosis according to the diagnosis standard of the Chinese Medical Association.Fasting serum concentrations of zinc,iron,copper and magnesium were measured.Patients were classified into different patterns of TCM symptoms according to TCM theory and clinical experience.RESULTS:In the HBV-induced liver cirrhosis group,the mean zinc concentration in patients with the TCM pattern of stagnation of fluid-Dampness was lower than that in patients with obstruction of collaterals by Blood stasis(P < 0.034).In the CHB group,the mean magnesium concentration in patients with toxic Heat flourishing was significantly lower than that in those with Damp-Heat in the Liver and Gallbladder,and those with Liver depression and Spleen deficiency(P < 0.021).The concentrations of iron and copper showed little difference among the different TCM symptom patterns.CONCLUSION:The serum zinc and magnesium concentrations correlated with certain TCM patterns of symptoms in patients with HBV-induced liver cirrhosis and CHB.It may be helpful to interpret the pathogenic change in the TCM symptom patterns in liver cirrhosis and CHB,and also to conduct clinical treatment of the diseases based on identified TCM patterns.

目的:比较中国急性ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者院前应用硝酸甘油或中成药对症状改善及对梗死相关动脉(IRA)血流的影响。方法:依托中国急性心肌梗死注册研究于2013年1月1日至2014年3月31日期间,纳入全国108家医院7 d内发病且明确报告院前使用或不使用硝酸甘油或中成药的13064例STEMI患者(已排除共用两类药物患者),其中5280例患者接受了急诊冠状动脉造影。对比使用两类药物对患者症状缓解及IRA的TIMI血流分级水平的影响,其中症状缓解包括完全缓解(症状消失)和部分缓解(不同程度缓解)。结果:13064例患者中,2892例(22.1%)院前应用了硝酸甘油或中成药,其中1149例(8.8%)使用了硝酸甘油,1743例(13.3%)使用了中成药,10172例院前未用药。应用硝酸甘油或中成药的患者,6 h内到达医院的比例(57.4%vs.60.8%vs.50.3%,P<0.0010),与使用院前急救系统的比例(11.8%vs.12.2%vs.9.5%,P=0.0004)均高于未用药的患者。使用硝酸甘油的患者部分缓解比例高于使用中成药的患者(33.8%vs.25.1%,P<0.0010)。多因素Logistic分析显示,使用硝酸甘油较使用中成药完全和部分缓解的可能性较高(OR=1.331,95%CI:1.129~1.569,P=0.0007)。使用硝酸甘油或中成药的患者与未用药患者的院内死亡率相似。在接受急诊冠状动脉造影的患者中,使用中成药或硝酸甘油及未用药患者IRA的TIMI血流达到2~3级的比例分别为21.6%、15.8%和19.3%(P=0.0405)。多因素Logistic回归分析显示,与未用药患者相比,使用中成药患者的TIMI血流达到2~3级水平无明显优势(OR=0.856,95%CI:0.705~1.040,P=0.1171),使用硝酸甘油的患者TIMI血流达到2~3级水平可能性降低(OR=0.666,95%CI:0.495~0.895,P=0.0071)。结论:中国约有22.1%的STEMI患者院前单用硝酸甘油或中成药,含服硝酸甘油对症状改善作用优于中成药,与未用药患者相比,应用这两类药物的患者的TIMI血流未见明显改善。
