Clinical research has shown that the capsule has a good curative effect on chronic gastritis related to pyrolic Helicobacterium. Among the 53 cases in the treatment group, clinical observation showed cure in 6 cases, obvious effect in 18 cases, effect in 24 cases, no effect on 5 cases, with a total effective rate of 90.5%. Of the 50 cases in the control group, cure was found in 5 cases, obvious effect in 13 cases, effect in 20 cases, no effect in 12 cases, the total effective rate being 76%. The total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group. The rate of eliminating pyrolic Helicobacterium in the treatment group was 66.04%, similar to that in the control group. In a follow-up visit 6 months later, the recurrence rate in the treatment group was 13.33%, obviously lower than that of 41.66% in the control group.展开更多

The results showed that the effective rate in the treated group was 82.2% and that in control group 60% with a significant difference (P<0.05) between the two groups. In the treated group, the scores of the conscious state and the motor function after treatment were elevated dramatically (P<0.01), indicating a much better effect in the treated group than in the control group.展开更多

They can produce a synergistic effect when used together with surgery, radio- and chemotherapy. In analyzing the relationship between the factors that affect the distant metastasis, the authors strongly recommend that the FDM-survival rate be used, i.e. the survival rate free from distant metastasis as suggested by Hong Minghuang et al in their article. An analysis based on FDM-survival rate in a duration of three or five years with the data treated with the Kaplan-Meier and/or Life Table would be rational and convincible.展开更多

A new borderline discipline, biomechanopharmacology, is shaping by the efforts of applying biomechanics in pharmacological studies of ABCRBS herbs. Biomechanics is involved in modeling of blood stasis syndrome (BSS) with mechanical force induced injury and model evaluation by shear stress monitoring for blood coagulation. Investigations showed that tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) contained in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort and diallyl trisulfide (DT) extracted from garlic demonstrated inhibiting characteristics on vWF mediated platelet activation and thrombus formation occurring under high shear rates. The effect of TMP on shear-induced platelet aggregation might be due to inhibition of calcium channel activity since it showed significant inhibition on intracellular level of calcium demonstrated by laser confocal microscope. The combined effects of TMP and shear stress on rat cerebral microvascular endothelial cell (rCMEC) were investigated by various doses of TMP incorporated with different levels of shear stress generated by a rotational cone-plate rheometer. The results indicated that apoptosis of rCMECs could be restrained by a combination of medial level of shear stress with a suitable dose of TMP. To study the influences of shear stress, pressure and TMP on angiogenesis of vascular endothelial cell, cultured rCMEC was pretreated in a flow chamber with independent adjustment for levels of shear stress and pressure, and then 3D cultured on Matrigel. The results indicate that combined effects of shear stress, pressure and TMP may influence angiogenesis significantly. We believe that research on interactions among blood shear stress, secretion of endothelial cell, and pharmacodynamics will be an interesting area of biomechanopharmacology. Herbs of ABCRBS and their extracts for protecting endothelial cells to maintain their normal functions are expected.展开更多
