Efficacy of Pidan Jianqing decoction in treatment of type 2 diabetes with spleen deficiency and damp-heat syndrome

Introduction:This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of Pidan Jianqing decoction in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.Methods:A total of 72 patients with type 2 diabetes differentiated as spleen deficiency with damp-heat syndrome were randomly assigned to a treatment group(n=35)or control group(n=32).Patients in the control group received diet and exercise guidance and medication in the form of 0.5 g metformin hydrochloride tablets,while patients in the treatment group received Pidan Jianqing decoction in addition to the treatment given to the control group.Efficacy was evaluated after 8 weeks of treatment.Results:Efficacy was 91.4%in the treatment group versus 68.8%in the control group,which was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Significant group differences were also noted in the number of patients with improvement in symptoms such as dry mouth and polydipsia,frequency of urination and polyuria,abdominal distention and loss of appetite,fatigue and weakness,and sticky stools(all P<0.05),with greater improvement in the treatment group compared to the control group.The fasting blood glucose(FBG)and 2 h postprandial blood glucose levels significantly improved in both groups after treatment(P<0.05);however,there was no significant difference in glycated hemoglobin levels before and after treatment in both groups.Conclusion:Pidan Jianqing decoction can lower blood glucose levels and improve symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Clinical Research into Ke Min Yin for Treatment of Persistent Allergic Rhinitis in Patients with Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis

Persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR) is one of the common diseases at ear-nose-throat department. From August 1998 to May 2001, we randomly selected 60 cases of PAR with qi deficiency and blood stasis for a clinical observation. 30 patients in the treatment group were treated with Ke Min Yin (克敏饮), a herbal medicine, to supplement qi, expel wind, nourish blood and promote blood circulation; and the other 30 cases in the control group were treated with cetrine. Through systematic observation and statistical processing, the clinical research is summarized and reported in the following.

TCM Treatment for 40 Cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis with Channel Blockage due to Yin Deficiency

To verify the therapeutic effects of the method of softening and lubricating the joints, and calming the endogenous wind in case of rheumatoidirthritis (RA) with the syndrome of channel blockage due to yin deficiency, 60 RA patients with the syndrome of channel blockage due to yin deficiency were randomly divided into a treatment group (40 cases) and a control group (20 cases) and treated respectively by the The result turned out to be that the effect in the treatment group was very satisfying. The treatment group obtained a better result in the accumulated points of syndrome and RA, morning rigidity of the joints, grip strength, 20m walking time and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05). The above indicates that channel blockage due to yin deficiency is an important pathogenesis of RA, and calming the endogenous wind is a method of choice for treating RA.

从“中焦如衡”论治胃癌前病变

“中焦如衡”是清代医家吴鞠通基于脾胃的生理特点,提出的脾胃病治疗大法。后世医家在此论点基础上,结合大量临床实践不断深化,形成了以“中焦如衡”为切入点的论治脾胃病病因病机与治疗大法为一体的理论体系。胃癌前病变(PLGC)是具有较高癌变风险的病理改变。从“中焦如衡”理论探讨PLGC的病因病机,立足于脾胃的生理病理特点,以“中焦如衡,以平为期”为切入点,认为本病由多种因素叠加导致胃黏膜遭受持续损害,而在正邪交争中,胃黏膜的保护和防御机制被激活,动态平衡机制被打破,出现以脾胃虚损为本、毒瘀损络为要、升降失衡为主要表现的病机特点,随之而出现病理改变和临床表现。通过调和气血、虚实、气机等多种因素,以调和中焦为手段,以恢复脾胃平衡、气机升降为目的,从而防治PLGC。

目的 探讨活血化瘀合滋补肝肾法对肾虚血瘀证早中期股骨头缺血性坏死患者的临床疗效。方法 82例患者随机分为对照组和观察组,每组41例,对照组给予常规治疗,观察组在对照组基础上加用活血化瘀合滋补肝肾法,疗程3个月。检测临床疗效、Harris评分、VAS评分、骨密度、血液流变学指标(全血高切黏度、全血低切黏度、血浆黏度)、骨代谢指标(OPN、OPG、OST、CTX-Ⅰ)变化。结果 观察组总有效率高于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗后,2组Harris评分、VAS评分、血液流变学指标、OPN、OST、CTX-Ⅰ降低(P<0.05),骨密度增加(P<0.05),OPG升高(P<0.05),以观察组更明显(P<0.05)。结论 活血化瘀合滋补肝肾法可提高肾虚血瘀证早中期股骨头缺血性坏死患者髋关节功能,增加骨密度,减轻疼痛,改善血液流变学、骨代谢水平。

基于“中气下陷”理论探析膜性肾病的病机及诊治思路

基于中气下陷理论探讨膜性肾病的病机,提出“湿蕴脾肾,中气下陷”的病机理论,其中以风邪外侵,中土亏损为发病先导,中气不足,脾肾亏虚为发病基础,气机凝滞,湿瘀阻络为病机核心,毒损脾肾,中气下陷为病情进展,大气虚散,脏腑衰惫为病重结局,中气亏虚贯穿膜性肾病发病始终。论治当取升阳举陷大法,强调早期调补脾肾,御风于外,中期祛湿化瘀解毒,升阳通络,晚期升阳益胃排毒,兼顾心肾虚损。

基于“建中”理论探讨肿瘤营养不良病机及治法

肿瘤营养不良是恶性肿瘤最常见的并发症之一,以食欲减退、消化道营养影响症状、体重减轻为主要临床表现。中医认为其属虚劳类病。追其源头,多因肿瘤瘀毒结聚、抗肿瘤治疗损伤导致中焦虚寒、肠失传化,引起五脏精气不足,渐至于机体气血阴阳虚衰。从“建中”理论出发可以认为该病的基本病机为中焦虚寒、肠失传化。在治疗上,应以温补中焦助运化为主要治法,方剂用大建中汤与参苓白术散温胃散寒、益气健脾。又因肿瘤患者病情复杂,往往还存在痰湿困脾、瘀血阻滞,所以还需开胃醒脾增摄入、化瘀散寒强功效,强调芳香化湿药物与活血化瘀药物的使用,从而达到改善患者胃肠蠕动排空功能与调整肠道紊乱菌群的目的。临床应注重胃肠道消化功能的提高,增加营养物质摄入、消化及吸收,最终实现改善患者营养状态、降低营养风险的目的。

基于“中气不足,溲便为之变”论治小儿遗粪症

小儿遗粪症归中医“遗矢”之列,以小儿反复且不能自控地排粪为主要表现。本病病因复杂,严重影响患儿身心健康,但其机制尚未阐明,且西医缺乏根治手段。中医辨治此病有独到优势,笔者结合导师临证经验,从“中气不足,溲便为之变”的理论出发,认为中气不足、积滞不化为本病关键病机,情志不畅、气机郁结是其重要病理因素。中气大虚,枢机不利,清阳不升,固摄无权,纳化失常,虚积相合,终致魄门失约,遗粪无度。故治当补益中气,少佐消导,方以补中益气汤加减化裁,尤应调畅情志,强化如厕训练,诸法合施,疗效颇佳。

王秀娟运用和法论治手汗症经验

王秀娟教授认为,手汗症病机多与局部郁热蕴蒸、经络瘀滞不通有关,主要辨证分型为:肺脾不和证、中焦郁热证与心神失养证。王教授擅长运用和法,从脾胃治疗手汗症,手心汗出过多的肺脾不和证,常运用和脾胃、健脾气或补脾益肺为法,以复肺气之宣肃;中焦郁热证,常用和肝运脾之法,以疏肝泻火、健脾运浊;心神失养证,在补益心脾的基础上侧重健脾益气,中气和则五脏调。王教授治疗手汗症,注重整体辨证,阴阳表里寒热并重,重视中焦气机失调之病机,同时关注情志因素,遵循李东垣“内伤劳役伤脾气,饮食伤胃伤其形”之脾胃观,不忘将现代社会压力下人们的身心疾病因素考虑在内。在用药方面,王教授注重整体观,遣方用药以和为主,重在调和气机,辨证运用和肝疏郁、调和营卫、和解少阳等治法,使机体达到阴平阳秘之稳态。

Deficient Developmental Planning Leading to Water Conflicts across Political Borders: The Way Forward

In this article, Turkey, Iran and Syria in the Middle East area are taken as examples for deficient planning and development of water resources shared with their downstream countries resulting in severe social, economic and political percussions to these neighbors. The current situation in the Middle East with wars against terrorism, uprising of population groups, and COVID-19 Pandemic have not allowed the affected countries Jordan, Iraq and Syria to properly react to the assaults of upstream water development and diversions on their fair shares in the transboundary waters. The rivers’ upstream developmental schemes have not taken advantages of recent advanced technological knowhow of water efficient development and use, seemingly because the arising water problems and catastrophes will not affect these upstream countries, but their downstream neighbors. Although, it is by now known that pressurized water conveyance system relative to canals saves 10% - 20% of the transmitted water, and drip and sprinkler irrigation require only 40% - 50% of the water used in surface and furrow irrigation, that is in addition to agricultural production increases when using advanced management strategies. As enhancing policies, tradeoffs between downstream and upstream countries are thought of as a strategic option to improve the water use efficiency in upstream countries in order to help downstream countries in obtaining their fair shares of the transboundary water resources.

Study on Prevention and Treatment of Diabetes in Middle and Aged Women with Kidney Deficiency and Bone Metabolic Disturbance

Objective: To study the therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for supplementing Qi, activating blood circulation and tonifying Kidney on prevention and treatment of diabetes in middle and aged women with Kidney Deficiency and bone metabolic disturbance. Methods: Clinical observation was taken in 52 patients, who were divided into two groups, the control group (treated with hypoglycemic agent alone) and the treated group (treated with hypoglycemic agent and CHM). Results: Before treatment, patients in both groups showed obviously higher blood alkaline phosphatase, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) level, urinary β2-MG, calcium and phosphorus level, but lower serum estradiol level than those in normal subjects. After 3 months' treatment, no apparent change in serum estradiol level was observed, but other parameters were all lowered obviously in the two groups, with the changes revealed more obviously in the treated group. The symptoms of Kidney Deficiency, such as lumbodorsal pain, fatigue, palpitation and vertigo, were improved after treatment, which was also more obviously in the treated group. Conclusion: CHM for supplementing Qi, activating blood circulation and tonifying Kidney was effective in improving Kidney Deficiency and mineral substance loss in bones in middle and aged diabetic women patients. The CHM and western drugs acted synergistically.
