Therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on coagulation disorder and accompanying intractable jaundice in hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis patients

AIM： TO observe the therapeutic effects of new traditional Chinese medicine （TClVl） therapy on coagulation disorder and accompanying intractable jaundice in HBV-related liver cirrhosis patients. 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. CONCLUSION： TCM therapy can improve coagulation fuction and decrease TBIL.

Protective Effect of Chinese Herbs for Supplementing Qi,Nourishing Yin and Activating Blood Circulation on Heart Function of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Objective： To investigate the effects of Chinese herbs for supplementing qi, nourishing yin and activating blood circulation on heart function of patients with acute coronary syndrome （ACS） after successful percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. Methods： One hundred patients with ACS after successful PCI were randomly assigned to a Western medicine （WM） treatment group （WMG） and a combined treatment group （CMG） treated by Chinese herbs for supplementing qi, nourishing yin and activating blood circulation, besides Western medicine treatment, with 50 cases in each group. Both treatment courses were 6 months. The follow- up was scheduled at baseline, 6 months and 1 year after PCI, and New York Heart Association （NYHA） functional class, Chinese medicine （CM） symptom scores, blood stasis syndrome scores, and major adverse cardiovascular events （MACE） were observed, serum levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP） and hyper-sensitivity C-reactive protein （Hs-CRP） were measured, an echocardiogram was conducted to examine left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）, left ventricular end-diastolic volume （LVEDV）, left ventricular end-systolic volume （LVESV）, inter-ventricular septal thickness （IVST）, left ventricular posterior wall thickness （LVPWT）, and ventricular wall motion index （VWMI）. Results： Compared with the baseline, LVEF significantly increased （P〈0.01）, and CM symptom scores, blood stasis syndrome scores, VWMI, LVEDV, LVESV, NT-proBNP, and Hs-CRP all decreased （P〈0.01） in both groups at 6 months and at 1 year after PCI. There were no significant differences in all the above parameters at 1 year vs those at 6 months after PCI （P〉0.05）. VWMI, LVEDV, LVESV, NT-proBNP, Hs-CRP, LVEF, and CM symptom and blood stasis syndrome scores were all improved obviously in CMG than those in WMG （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01） at 6 months and at 1 year after PCI. There were no significant differences in NYHA functional class between CMG and WMG at different follow-up timepoints; it was notable that P value was 0.054 when comparing the cases of NYHA functional class between the two groups at 1-year follow-up. During the 1-year follow-up, 3 MACE and 11 MACE occurred in CMG and WMG, respectively; the MACE rate in CMG was lower than that in WMG （6% vs 22%, P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Chinese herbs for supplementing qi, nourishing yin and activating blood circulation could improve heart function, reduce the CM symptom scores and blood stasis syndrome scores, and decrease the incidence of MACE in patients with ACS after successful PCI.

Effects of Chinese herbs capable of replenishing qi, nourishing yin and activating blood circulation and their compatibility on differentially expressed genes of ischemic myocardium

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Chinese herbs capable of replenishing qi, nourishing yin and activating blood circulation and their compatibility on differentially expressed genes of ischemic myocardium which were selected from differential expression profile we had established before, and to explore the underlying mechanism. The acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model was established by ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, then the model rats were randomly divided into the model group, the Metoprolol group, the replenishing qi nourishing yin (RN) group, the activating blood circulation (AB) group, and the replenishing qi, nourishing yin and activating blood circulation (RA) group. In addition, the normal group and the sham group were set up. The rats of medication groups were administered by intragastric gavage with corresponding drugs on the second day after operations, and the rats of the normal group and the sham group were given normal saline as the same time.Then the ischemic hearts were harvested on the 8th day after operation. The myocardial pathomorphological changes were observed under a light microscope. The mRNA changes of target genes such as COX5a and ATP5e were detected using Realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR (QPCR), and the activities of related enzymes were detected by colorimetric assay. The main results were as follows: the histological changes were observed by HE staining, and cardiocyte swelling, inflammatory cell infiltration and cytolysis were showed in regional ischemic myocardium of the model group, while the pathomorphological changes in all medication groups did not show obvious changes. Two genes related to energy metabolism, COX5a and ATP5e, were selected as the target genes which were downregulated at the mRNA level in the medication groups. The activities of correlative functional enzymes also decreased in the RA group compared to that in the model group accordingly (P<0.05). The results indicated that the abnormal expression of genes involved in energy metabolism pathways could be one of the molecular mechanisms of AMI. The compatibility of Chinese herbs capable of replenishing qi, nourishing yin and activating blood circulation affects the expression of energyrelative gene COX5a, ATP5e, which is probably the mechanism of myocardial preservation, and is more effective than single herb of replenishing qi and nourishing yin or activating blood circulation.

基于“二阳结谓之消”探讨糖尿病性便秘病机及防治策略

“二阳结谓之消”语出《素问·阴阳别论篇》,是认识糖尿病性便秘的早期记载,但目前学界多据此仅从二阳(足阳明胃经、手阳明大肠经)结滞化热来解释消渴期发生便秘的病机,存在一定局限性。通过考究发现“二阳”并不单指手足阳明经脉或胃肠二腑,而是包括胃、大肠二腑及手足阳明经脉;“结”也并不完全指结热这一病邪,而是指病邪胶结难解、疾病难以治愈的程度,并且“二阳”之热易伤血脉,造成络脉瘀滞。基于对“二阳结谓之消”的重新理解,笔者认为糖尿病性便秘在糖尿病期以“热伤气阴”为主要病机,糖尿病并发症期以热伤血络、血脉瘀滞为主要病机。治疗方面,糖尿病期以清热益气养阴为本,糖尿病并发症期以活血化瘀为核心,此外还需重视体质从化,全面把握糖尿病性便秘的诊治。

庞鹤辨治下肢丹毒经验

庞鹤教授认为下肢丹毒根据病程可分为急性期和慢性期,急性期为火毒夹湿所致,多为实证,急性期未得及时治疗则转为慢性丹毒,可见脾虚有瘀,为本虚标实之证。治疗上当以祛邪为首要任务,灵活选择清热解毒、凉血解毒、滋阴清热之法;同时还要注意引邪外出,使邪气或向外散发,或从大小便而解。此外,在疾病治疗的全过程中均应根据湿与热的轻重程度合理选方,强调活血化瘀、注意顾护脾胃、积极防治变证。

基于中医血脉理论谈从脾论治糖尿病血管病变

糖尿病血管病变是糖尿病严重的慢性并发症之一,目前已成为糖尿病患者死亡和致残的主要原因,其巨额的医疗费用给家庭、社会带来沉重的经济负担。文章从血管与血脉的相关性出发,基于中医血脉理论,结合传统医学与现代医学观点,认为脾气虚,运化无力,气机不畅,脂浊不化,致痰浊、瘀血、热毒等病理产物壅滞血脉是糖尿病血管病变发生的重要原因,可累及多个靶器官。结合五脏一体观,从脾为四脏之长、脾与其他四脏的病变关系论述从脾论治糖尿病血管病变的理论依据以及古今医家从脾论治糖尿病血管病的临床思路,并将中西医思想融会贯通,突出从脾论治糖尿病血管病变的重要性。治疗上注重益气养阴、活血解毒、健脾化湿之法,为临床防治糖尿病血管病变提供新思路。

基于“毒瘀虚”分期论治皮肌炎的临证经验

皮肌炎是一种累及皮肤、骨骼肌的自身免疫性疾病。临床表现以皮疹、肌无力、肌痛为主。本病初期外邪入里,化热为毒,邪毒蕴阻肌肤,发为皮疹;而后热毒与湿、瘀相互胶结,可见皮疹加剧,关节肌肉灼痛;久病气血阴阳亏虚,出现肌肉酸痛、肢体痿弱无力。汤小虎教授根据多年临床经验总结,急性期以热毒为主者,治以清热解毒,活血止痛;如热毒内陷心营,治以清营解毒,透热养阴。缓解期以瘀热偏重者,治以活血化瘀,理气健脾;以湿热偏重者,治以清热利湿,宣通经络。慢性期以气血两虚为主者,治以益气温经,养血和络;以阴虚为主者,治以滋补肝肾,益气养阴;以阳虚为主者,治以温阳通络,健脾益肾。临证之时汤小虎教授辨清病理因素,精准用药,本文以急性期热毒炽盛,内陷心营为例,选方清营汤合青蒿鳖甲汤加减进行阐述。

张玉芬基于“补肾滋阴、活血泻肾”法改善早发性孕酮升高经验

人绒毛膜促性腺激素(HCG)注射日早发孕酮升高(PPR)是随着体外受精-胚胎移植/卵泡质内单精子注射(IVF-ET/ICSI)广泛应用而衍生的,与妊娠结局密切相关,日益为辅助生殖中心重视,但其解决方案目前尚未统一认识且缺乏相关证据证实有效可行。阐述张玉芬教授对HCG注射日早发孕酮升高现象的中医理论认识,总结张玉芬以“补肾滋阴、活血泻肾”法治疗PPR的经验。

目的探讨益气养血通脉法治疗阵发性房颤患者的疗效。方法60例阵发性房颤患者,采用随机数字表法分为对照组和治疗组,各30例。两组均给予常规抗心律失常西药(琥珀酸美托洛尔片)治疗,治疗组在此基础上应用中医益气养血通脉法治疗,3个月(12周)后比较两组患者中医证候、动态心电图改善效果,治疗前后P波离散度(Pd)及左房内径(LAd)。结果治疗组中医证候总有效率为93.33%,高于对照组的73.33%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗组动态心电图总有效率为96.67%,高于对照组的76.67%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗前,两组Pd及LAd比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗后,两组Pd、LAd均较治疗前下降,且治疗组Pd(34.41±3.74)ms、LAd(37.00±3.25)mm低于对照组的(38.39±4.32)ms、(41.00±3.76)mm,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论益气养血通脉法治疗阵发性房颤疗效确切,在改善阵发性房颤患者的症状及预防复发方面疗效明显,值得临床推广应用。

中医药防治化疗后骨髓抑制研究进展

中医药防治化疗后骨髓抑制的常用治法有补肾生髓法、健脾养血法、解毒活血法、益气养阴法、疏肝调肝法等,疗效确切,不良反应少,可改善患者生活质量。目前,研究仍存在以下不足:临床研究中符合循证医学原则的多中心随机双盲对照研究较少,中医辨证分型尚缺乏统一的标准和客观依据与规范;中医药防治化疗后骨髓抑制与西医治疗的结合应用还不够充分;关于中医药抗化疗后骨髓抑制在细胞、分子微观水平方面的研究有一定进展,但由于中药方剂成分复杂,明确具体机制存在较大困难,联合用药的协同效应以及治疗效果的科学证据还相对不足。今后,需进一步探索和研究中医药防治化疗后骨髓抑制的临床应用前景,提高临床研究质量,深入研究中医药抗化疗后骨髓抑制的作用机理。

温阳法治疗慢性心力衰竭研究进展

慢性心力衰竭病机以心气心阳衰之脏腑虚损为本,以感受六淫邪气久病成瘀血、痰湿、瘀毒等病理产物为实。综合各家经验,慢性心力衰竭辨证多以复合证为主,阳虚类证型最为常见。临床多采用温阳养心、温阳利水、温阳益气、温阳活血(通络)、益气温阳活血利水的内治法和艾灸、穴位贴敷、奄包热熨等外治法进行治疗,疗效确切。目前,温阳法治疗本病的研究局限于名老中医经验及临床个案报道,样本量有限,中心单一,缺乏治疗后临床随访以考量长期疗效,且各个医家对运用温阳法的组方用药不尽相同,方剂内含药物的作用机制未能完全明确。温阳法与其他治法组成的复合治法在治疗本病时也未有系统归纳和统一,故今后应展开多中心、大样本的中医药临床、动物及药理实验研究,注重追踪随访,对温阳类治法进行系统归纳,制定统一标准,并挖掘温阳类药物的作用机制,从而有力发挥温阳法治疗本病的优势。

益气升阳活血法指导中药方剂对伴随糖尿病的牙周炎临床运用分析

目的探讨益气升阳活血法指导中药方剂对伴随2型糖尿病(diabetes mellitus type 2,T2DM)牙周炎的疗效。方法选择2019年7月—2021年3月医院收治的110例伴随T2DM的牙周炎患者进行研究,采用随机双盲法将其分为研究组和对照组,每组55例,两组均接受牙周基础治疗,研究组在基础治疗的同时,给予益气升阳活血中药治疗,两组治疗时间均为1个月,比较两组患者治疗前后牙周指数包括牙周探测位点的平均探诊深度(probing depth,PD)、临床附着水平(clinical attachment level,CAL)、探诊出血指数(bleeding on probing,BOP),糖化血红蛋白(glycatedhemoglobinA1c,HbA1c)与超敏C反应蛋白(High sensitivity C-reactive protein,hsCRP),以及两组治疗前后血糖平均水平。结果治疗后两组各项牙周指数均低于本组治疗前(P<0.05),其中研究组PD、CAL和BOP水平均低于对照组(P<0.05),治疗后两组HbA1c、hsCRP均低于本组治疗前(P<0.05),其中研究组低于对照组(P<0.05),治疗后两组空腹血糖均较本组治疗前降低(P<0.05),研究组低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论益气升阳活血法指导中药方剂对伴随T2DM的牙周炎患者效果显著,显著改善患者牙周指数及血糖水平,适合推广应用。

从“罢极之本”论治甲状腺结节

探讨从“罢极之本”论治甲状腺结节的临床意义,为甲状腺结节治疗拓展思路。通过查阅中医古籍和现代文献,搜集部分医家对“罢极之本”理论的学术观点,探讨“罢极之本”理论内涵,从“罢极之本”提炼甲状腺结节的病因病机、临证思路和用药特色,并附一则医案加以验证。从“罢极之本”探析甲状腺结节病机核心在于肝之体用和生理功能失常为先、肝脏维持脏腑生理功能失常为变,最终导致气滞、血瘀、痰凝壅结颈前发病,关键环节在于“罢极之本”职能特性失常,治疗方面特此提出“肝实者宜疏泄、肝虚者宜柔补”总则,通过疏肝解郁、疏肝活血、培土缓肝、柔肝养血、清肝泻火的不同遣方用药思路而达到散结消瘿的目的,所举验案为肝郁气滞、痰凝血瘀之甲状腺结节,以疏肝理气、化痰活血、软坚散结为治则,方选自拟疏肝散结消瘿方治疗,临床获效显著。从“罢极之本”论治甲状腺结节合理可靠,建立甲状腺结节特色辨治体系,可为今后中医药治疗甲状腺结节提供更为广阔的思路和方法。

从中医阴阳学说论巨噬细胞极化在动脉粥样硬化中的作用

巨噬细胞根据机体所在微环境的不同可极化为不同状态,主要可分为M1型和M2型2类。二者在动脉粥样硬化进程的不同阶段各自占据不同的优势从而产生相互作用,其与中医阴阳理论中的阴阳相互对立制约、相互消长平衡、相互转化有着相似的内涵。从中医阴阳学说探讨巨噬细胞极化在动脉粥样硬化中的作用,提出在动脉粥样硬化发展的不同阶段调节M1型巨噬细胞和M2型巨噬细胞之间的平衡的观点。当M1型巨噬细胞效应过强时,可治以清热解毒,方选黄连解毒汤等;当M2型巨噬细胞效应过强时,可治以益气温阳、活血化瘀、祛痰化浊,方选桂枝汤、四君子汤、血府逐瘀汤、二陈汤等。

基于《金匮要略》“干血”治则分期论治放射性肺损伤

记载于《金匮要略》中的“干血”为“久瘀之血”,是由气血津液亏虚,气血不行,瘀血内生,血凝干结而形成。这一理论在《血证论》中得到继承并发扬,干血阻络则新血不生,唐容川基于此提出“祛瘀生新”治则。放射性肺损伤起于射线热毒,热邪耗气伤津,日久瘀血内生;加之肺络自身狭小易瘀,热邪煎灼血行不畅,瘀血阻络日久则化为干血,日久肺叶失荣。瘀血贯穿于放射性肺损伤发生发展的始终,初则瘀热,渐而瘀阻,末则干血,根据《金匮要略》“干血”治则所提出的“三期三法”理论,是将祛瘀生新灵活运用于疾病治疗的全过程,初期热盛瘀浅,治以清热解毒辅以凉血活血;中期热退瘀盛,治以养阴润肺辅以清化痰瘀;末期瘀久则干,治以祛瘀生新,辅以固本培元。从“干血”治则论治放射性肺损伤,是对传统经典理论的继承和创新,且临床具有良好疗效。

李海松教授补肾活血开窍法治疗不射精症经验

不射精症是男科常见疑难病之一,其病因不十分明确,西医尚无公认的治疗方法,中医将其归于“精瘀”“精闭”范畴。不射精症病位在下焦精室,病程日久则易出现多虚多瘀的病理变化。李海松教授结合传统医学对本病的认识,认为其主要病机为肾虚血瘀,提出补肾活血开窍法治疗本病治则,补虚与泄实相结合,身心同调,以恢复精液的正常生成和排泄,效果显著,特此总结。并附验案以分析。

王苹从脾论治崩漏经验

崩漏可见于月经来潮后各年龄阶段的女性,但常见于青春期初潮及围绝经期女性,王苹教授认为,不同阶段的崩漏治疗侧重点不同,但在临证中应始终贯彻“从脾论治”的学术思想。脾虚气陷,统摄失司,或忧思伤脾者,方选黄土汤以甘温建中,补气养血;气机郁滞者,在健脾益气的同时常配伍使用柴胡、香附、陈皮、木香等药,肝气郁结,久而化热者,方选泻心汤加减以健脾疏肝,清热止血;冲任不固者,在健脾补肾,固冲止血的同时配伍菟丝子、补骨脂、女贞子、墨旱莲、淫羊藿、山茱萸等药;情志郁结,气机不畅者,方选桂枝茯苓丸以健脾止血,活血化瘀。王苹教授治疗崩漏以中焦为切入点,健脾益气摄血,疏肝补肾,调理气血以恢复正常月经周期,取得良好的疗效。
