The symptoms were markedly improved, and serum ALT and bilirubin were recovered and kept normal in most of the cases. The mean levels of serum hyaluronic acid, procollagen peptide III and circulating immune complex were decreased and returned to normal after the treatment. B-ultrasonography showed that the portal vein kept in normal size in 82% of the patients, the enlarged portal vein diminished in diameter, and the enlarged spleen reduced.展开更多

Analysis shows that radiotherapy plus Chinese medication has the best curative effect with an effective rate of 75.5%. The effective rates were 74.2% for the combined treatment, 55.5% for the chemotherapy plus medication, 12.5% for the Chinese medication, and none for expectant treatment.展开更多

Clinically, it is mainly characterized by arthralgia, swelling, and motor impairment. Since the knee joint is the load-bearing joint of the human body, and is susceptible to trauma, gonitis tends to have the highest morbidity in the four limbs, which manifests itself arthritis of patella and femur at the early stage; narrowness or disappearance of the medial joint space at the mid stage; and damage of the cartilage accompanied with flexion deformity at the late stage. In recent years, based on the experience of Prof. Cao Yiming, the author has treated 47 cases of gonitis by combined use of Chinese drugs and acupuncture, and obtained satisfactory therapeutic results as reported in the following.展开更多

Clinically, it manifests itself by regular epigastric pain accompanied by belching and acid regurgitation, corresponding to epigastralgia and stomach distending pain in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Based on the TCM type-differentiation, the author has treated 105 cases of duodenal bulbar ulcer by the combined therapy of catgut embedding at point Zusanli (ST 36) and Chinese drugs with satisfactory results. A summary is as follows. Clinical Data1. Case selection: The cases selected all had the clinical symptoms and signs of duodenal bulbar ulcer, and had been diagnosed by GI examination at this or other hospitals with no obvious therapeutic effects obtained after relevant treatment, and still symptoms and signs and repeated attacks of pain.展开更多

The effects of the therapeutic method adopted for the urinary rehabilitation are directly related to the life quality and survival time of the paraplegic patients. Since 1999-2002, the authors had applied Chinese herbal medicine combined with acupuncture for the urinary rehabilitation in 52 paraplegic patients, with quite good therapeuticresults as reported in the following.展开更多

After 6 months of treatment, in the TCM group, the rate of metastatic recurrence was significantly reduced, and the level of ornithine decarboxylase was also markedly lowered. Therefore, it is considered that the action of anti-metastatic recurrence of TCM drugs in postoperative cases of gastric carcinoma is probably related to the lowered activity of ornithine decarboxylase.展开更多

According to recent reports, this drug has been used to treat herpes zoster, hepatitis B, parotitis, nephrotic syndrome, acute conjunctivitis, recurrent aphtha, urticaria, etc.1 with good therapeutic effects. More than half of the AIDS patients suffered from herpes zoster. The area of skin lesion in AIDS patients is larger than that of the patients without AIDS and the pain lasts longer. Many cases have keloids and depigmentation for months, even severe pain till their death. Routine therapeutic methods are not satisfactory in therapeutic effects. The expert group of traditional Chinese medicine for cooperative research on AIDS used Ji De Sheng She Yao tablets (季德胜蛇药片) to treat AIDS complicated by herpes zoster for the first time and the results are reported as follows.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

Qing Xin An Shen Fang ([symbol: see text] a formula for clearing away the heart-heat to induce tranquilization) was used in the treatment group and compared with mexiletine and Fu Fang Dan Shen Tablets ([symbol: see text] Compound Salvia Tablets) used in the control group. The results turned to be that the markedly effective rate was 85.1% and the total effective rate 96.3% in the treated group, better than that in the control group, with the former having a good antihypertensive and antihyperlipemic effect and an effect of improving microcirculation and clinical symptoms.展开更多

Methods: Twenty-nine HIV-infected patients were treated with ZY-2 for 3 months as one treatment course; and viral load, immune function and symptoms-signs were determined before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the absolute values of CD4 were elevated in 8 cases, and lowered in 14 cases, 7 cases were not changed; the ratio of CD4/CD8 were elevated in 2 cases, lowered in 1 case, 16 of them were not changed obviously. The CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were elevated simultaneously in 2 cases. Neopterin lowered in 4 cases, elevated in 11 cases, and not changed in 1 case. Viral load (VL) was lowered in 6 cases, elevated in 8 cases and not changed in 2 cases. The total effective rate was 42.28% on the basis of comprehensive assessment of VL, immune function, body weight and symptoms-signs. Conclusion: ZY-2 is an effective Chinese recipe in treating HIV-infected patients.展开更多

It is the view of the authors that accumulation of heat and dampness in the heart and stomach and deficiency of both spleen and kidney with blood stasis would be the main predisposing factors in pathogenesis of incipient diabetic nephropathy. A controlled clinical study of 32 patients treatment with modified recipe of Wang Kentang’s Bai Fu Ling Wan, a proved formula of clearing away the stomach-heat, purging the heart fire, strengthening the stomach and tonifying the kidney, and simultaneously resolving blood stasis and turbid qi was performed. The total effective rate was 93.8%, superior to that in the control group treated with Capoton (59.9%). A marked improvement in symptoms, control of blood glucose level and reduction of urinary protein obtained in the treatment group suggests that this treatment is effective in retarding the development of the disease.展开更多

The plasma endothelin (ET) levels in the two groups of patients were markedly higher than that of the healthy people (P<0.001), and the calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) was similar to that of the healthy people (P>0.05). After treatment, ET and symptomatic scores in the two groups decreased markedly (P<0.01), and their S-T segments were elevated obviously (P<0.01). But the decrease of ET and symptomatic scores and elevation of S-T segment in Xin Mai Tong group were superior to those of the control group (P<0.05～0.01). The CGRP level in the control group did not vary obviously post-treatment, but it increased markedly (P<0.01) with the addition of Xin Mai Tong Capsule in Xin Mai Tong group.展开更多

文摘32 postoperative cases of gastric carcinoma were treated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) drugs for supporting healthy energy and removing blood stasis, and their therapeutic results were compared with those in the control group treated by western medicine. After 6 months of treatment, in the TCM group, the rate of metastatic recurrence was significantly reduced, and the level of ornithine decarboxylase was also markedly lowered. Therefore, it is considered that the action of anti-metastatic recurrence of TCM drugs in postoperative cases of gastric carcinoma is probably related to the lowered activity of ornithine decarboxylase.
