Background:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of refractory gastroesophageal reflux.Methods:PubMed,The Cochrane Library,Embase,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang Database,China Science and Technology Journal Database and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database were searched for randomized controlled trials of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of refractory gastroesophageal reflux from database establishment time to December 2020.After two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted data and evaluated the bias risk included in the study,RevMan5.3 software was used for meta-analysis.Results:A total of 12 randomized controlled trials,were included,including 893 patients.The results of meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of the treatment group(relative risk=1.28,95%confidence interval(CI)(1.19,1.38),P<0.00001),RGERDQ(refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease)score(mean difference(MD)=−3.35,95%CI(−4.13,−2.57),P<0.00001],acid reflux(acid in the stomach comes out of the mouth)[MD=−0.30,95%CI(−0.45,−0.15),P<0.00001],heartburn(the feeling that the heart is burned)(MD=−0.44,95%CI(−0.60,−0.29),P<0.00001,and retrosternal pain(MD=−0.27,95%CI(−0.44,−0.10),P<0.00001,belching(MD=−0.40,95%CI(−0.57,−0.24),P<0.00001],endoscopic mucosal score(MD=−0.62,95%CI(−0.78,−0.46),P<0.00001],the differences were statistically significant,and the effective rate of mucosal improvement under endoscopy was P=0.93>0.05,with no statistically significant difference.Conclusion:The current evidence shows that traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease is better than that of western medicine in the total effective rate,relieving acid reflux,heartburn,retrosternal pain and belching symptoms,but it is impossible to judge the improvement of mucosa under endoscope.Due to the limitations of the quality and quantity of included studies,more high-quality studies are needed to confirm the above conclusions.

Thirty-two Cases of Vascular Headache Treated by Acupuncture Combined with Chinese Herbal Decoction

To compare the acupuncture plus oral administration of Chinese herbal decoction with simple oral administration of Chinese herbal decoction in the treatment of vascular headache. Methods： Sixty two patients were randomly divided into a treatment group （32 cases） and a control group （30 cases）.

Publicness:The Basis of Constructing a Public Administration Discipline in China

The legitimacy crisis of public administration has a long history.From a historical perspective,an analysis of five Western pathways in the discipline of public administration shows that the roots of this crisis lie in the lack of a public nature.From a theoretical perspective,the“publicness”of public administration should be defined along the dimensions of public administration powers,actors,targets,methods and values.In terms of practice,the uniqueness of China’s public power framework,the influence of traditional political culture on the public nature of Chinese public administration and the provisions governing this public nature at different stages of China’s development constitute the unique public nature of the construction of Chinese public administration.The discipline construction of Chinese public administration should be rebuilt so that its public nature forms the basis of its legitimacy,in accord with historical logic,theoretical logic and practical logic.We should construct a publicness discourse system of Chinese public administration that adheres to the value guidance of publicness and should frame research topics on the basis of publicness.This will ultimately form a research paradigm for the public nature of public administration that will consolidate the foundation of the legitimacy of the discipline construction of public administration.

The Construction of an Academic System for Administrative Law in China

In terms of principle,the intrinsic structural elements of the academic system of Chinese administrative law can be divided into three components:the positive law(de lege lata)system,the theoretical system and the system of methodology.As the foundation of the academic system,positive law mainly consists of the normative and institutional systems of administrative law;as the heart of the academic system,the theoretical system contains the theoretical basis,the system of basic principles and the system of categories of administrative law;and the system of methodology is the link and the conversion mechanism between positive law and the theoretical system,including the three research methods of politicolegal jurisprudence,Rechtsdogmatik(legal dogmatics)and social science jurisprudence.Along with institutional practice and the deepening of doctrine over the past thirty years since the promulgation of the Administrative Procedure Law(1989),the academic system of administrative law in China has been maturing.However,we are conscious that problems still exist.The basic approach to achieving further innovation includes advancing the construction of basic administrative law through codification;enhancing academic quality by jurisprudential thinking;shaping Chinese characteristics by rule of law practice;and carrying forward the whole academic system in a complete form.
