Clinical research report on traditional Chinese patent medicines and traditional Chinese classic famous prescriptions(2022)

Objective:The paper is to comprehensively summarize and analyze the basic situation and methodological quality of clinical randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of traditional Chinese patent medicines and traditional Chinese classic famous prescriptions published in 2022,to provide evidence and reasonable suggestions for the advancement of clinical research and the formulation of policies and guidelines.Methods:The Evidence Database System of clinical evidence-based evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine was searched,and data from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),PubMed,and other databases were supplemented.The search duration was from January 1,2022,to December 31,2022.RCTs of traditional Chinese patent medicines and traditional Chinese classic famous prescriptions were included as the source of clinical evidence,and published information,sample size,intervention,control measures,treatment course,methodological quality,and key link report were analyzed and evaluated.Results:A total of 1,464 RCTs of traditional Chinese patent medicines were included,which comprised 667 types of traditional Chinese patent medicines;“traditional Chinese patent medicines+Western medicine vs.Western medicine”was the most widely used intervention and control setting,involving 417 RCTs(28.48%).A total of 245 RCTs of traditional Chinese classic famous prescriptions were included,comprising 55 types of traditional Chinese classic famous prescriptions.“Decoction+conventional treatment vs.conventional treatment”was the most widely used intervention and control setting,with 87 RCTs(35.51%).Published RCTs on traditional Chinese patent medicines and traditional Chinese classic famous prescriptions were limited by the study design and implementation.Most“allocation concealment”and“blinding of patients and personnel”were rated as medium to high risk.There are insufficient reports on key research links such as experimental registration and ethical approval.Conclusions:The number of RCTs on traditional Chinese patent medicines has decreased in 2022,but there has been a slight improvement in the research quality and impact.There are relatively few studies on traditional Chinese classic famous prescriptions.Measures must be taken to improve clinical trial design,implementation,and reporting.Methodological experts should be invited to provide professional technical guidance on the trial design.In the research implementation process,attention should be paid to quality control,particularly the standardization of the randomized execution.

Methodological exploration on the construction of a traditional Chinese medicine nursing expert consensus based on evidence--taking stroke as an example

Objective: To explore the methodology of the evidence-based expert consensus formulation process of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) nursing taking stroke as an example.Methods: First, preliminary and comprehensive presentation of all stroke-related symptoms and corresponding TCM nursing techniques involved were revealed through bibliometric analysis. Then, selection of stroke symptoms and TCM nursing techniques for inclusion in the consensus was performed using an expert consultation method. Next, we determined the search strategy for a precise evidence search;conducted an evaluation of evidence quality and the grade of the evidence;and completed evidence extraction, evidence analysis, and evidence synthesis based on the included symptoms and TCM nursing techniques. The Delphi method was then applied to determine the strength of each recommendation and the choice of nursing care points by referring to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations grid. Finally, we conducted an external expert validation of the Delphi results to form an expert consensus guideline.Results: Through the bibliometric analysis, 22 stroke symptoms and 18 TCM nursing techniques were identified in the literature. Then, after expert consultation, 22 symptoms and 111 pairs of symptoms combined with TCM nursing techniques were selected for the evidence search. Evidence integration yielded 10 stroke symptoms corresponding to 29 bodies of evidence;these 10 symptoms were retained through the Delphi consultation, and recommendation strength results for 26 recommendations were obtained. A total of 9 symptoms were further retained for expert external validation to form 24 recommendations, with a recommendation process score range of 7.64-9.99 points and a more scientific and standardized recommendation-formation process.Conclusion: Owing to the current limited conditions of evidence-based resources for TCM nursing, the present consensus-building process represents only a preliminary exploration of an evidence-based expert consensus for TCM nursing to provide a reference for a more scientific and standardized methodology.

Expert Survey on the Prevention and Treatment Situation of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Coronary Artery Disease

Objective: To grasp the current situation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on prevention and treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD) and the possible advantages and disadvantages. Method: Using a survey in the form of questionnaire among 60 cardiovascular disease experts, to grasp current situation of TCM on prevention and treatment of CAD and the possible advantages and disadvantages. Results: In most areas of China, CAD is common, and angina is the most common clinical type. More than 91% experts choose to integrate traditional and western medicine for treatment and prevention of CAD. TCM proprietary medicine, traditional herbal decoction and intravenous TCM are widely used in the clinical work. Clinical advantages of TCM in the prevention of CAD that are listed in the questionnaire include improving symptoms, enhancing quality of life, increasing exercise tolerance, improving cardiac function, relieving angina, secondary prevention of myocardial infarction, etc. The shortcomings include troublesome brewing of herbal medicine, unpleasant taste of decoction, minimal clinical evidence, slow onset of effects and non-standardized prescription of medicine, etc. Conclusion: The survey reflects the present situation of clinical diagnosis and treatment of TCM on prevention and treatment of CAD to a certain extent;more accurate conclusions need the broader, deeper and large-scale clinical survey.

中西医结合治疗卵巢癌骨髓抑制临床诊疗专家共识

卵巢癌常用的治疗方法是手术联合化学治疗(简称“化疗”),其中铂类与紫杉醇联合应用是一线化疗方案[1]。骨髓抑制是化疗后最常见的毒副反应之一,由于化疗药物抑制了细胞的快速分裂,致使骨髓中细胞活性降低,从而出现骨髓抑制[2],临床上主要以白细胞、红细胞、血小板及血红蛋白数量减少为主要表现,其中以白细胞数量减少较为多见,常伴随不同程度的贫血、出血及继发感染。

卵巢癌中西医结合“全周期”诊疗上海专家共识

上皮性卵巢癌发病隐匿,是女性生殖器官常见的恶性肿瘤之一,病死率居妇科恶性肿瘤之首。70%以上的上皮性卵巢癌患者在就诊时已属晚期,表现为盆腹腔内组织器官的广泛转移,5年生存率仅为30%左右[1]。除了早期筛查意识欠缺、诊断困难,卵巢癌患者的高复发率和复发后可选择方案少也是其高病死率的重要影响因素,患者的长期预后面临着极大的威胁。

卵巢储备功能减退不孕中医药联合辅助生殖临床诊疗专家共识

不孕症是育龄期女性常见的难治病之一,世界卫生组织将其定为仅次于肿瘤和心脑血管病的第三大疾病。随着社会发展、人类生活环境和精神压力的改变,不孕症发病率逐年增高,卵巢储备功能在其中起到了重要作用。随着年龄增加,女性生育能力下降,这与卵母细胞的数量减少、质量下降有关,称为卵巢储备功能减退(diminished ovarian reserve,DOR)[1]。DOR在不孕症人群中的发病率为10%,其发病率有逐年上升及年轻化的趋势,约占女性卵巢疾病的20%。

长三角地区寻常型银屑病中医临床诊疗专家共识

银屑病是一种免疫介导的慢性、易复发的炎症性皮肤病,其典型皮损为皮肤鳞屑样红斑。临床上将银屑病分为寻常型、红皮病型、脓疱型和关节病型4种类型。其中寻常型银屑病最为常见,根据病程分为进行期、静止期和退行期[1]。中医对寻常型银屑病有独特理解,将其归于“白疕”“干癣”“蛇虱”等范畴。中医药治疗寻常型银屑病疗效确切,能有效改善其临床症状,减少复发率。长三角地区在银屑病诊疗中具有独特的地域性和流行病学特征,但对其遣方用药尚无统一标准,因此有必要制定适用于该地区的中医药诊疗寻常型银屑病专家共识,以更科学地指导临床实践,发挥中医药诊疗的特色与优势。
