Methods:...Objective: To test the therapeutic effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine on venous ulcer of lower limbs by Meta analysis method, and then to propose the best clinical treatment scheme. Methods: Domestic databases in the past 20 years (January 1999-December 2019) were searched by computer, including China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), VIP, Wanfang and CBM. Literature was screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Cochrane risk assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature. Two-classification method was used to extract data. RevMan 5.3 software was used to make statistical analysis of the data. Results: Eleven articles were finally included, totaling 1,576 patients, 804 cases in the treatment group and 772 cases in the control group. Meta-analysis results show that there is no difference in heterogeneity and bias among the included literatures. The total effective rate (risk ratio [RR]=1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.09-1.15) of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in treating venous ulcer of lower limbs is higher, which is obviously better than that of western medicine alone. Conclusion: Through data analysis, it is concluded that in the study population, the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine has a significant effect on venous ulcer of lower limbs. Make up for the deficiency of simple western medicine treatment, improve the cure rate and reduce the recurrence rate. However, there is currently a lack of relevant high-quality literature, so a large sample size, rigorous and standardized experimental design and randomized double-blind clinical study are needed to further test the conclusions.展开更多

METHODS: Using stratified random sampling according to fibrinogen (Fib) levels,145 liver cirrhosis patients due to hepatitis B complicated by coagulation disorder were treated. Of them,70 in research group were treated with TCM by "nourishing yin,cooling blood and invigorating blood circulation" and Western medicine,75 in control group were treated with conventional Western medicine. The indexes of liver function,coagulation function and bleeding events were observed and compared. RESULTS: The prothrombin time (PT) was shorter and the fibrinogen (Fib) level was higher in the research group than in the control group (Fib = 1.6-2.0 g/L,1.1-1.5 g/L,and ≤ 1.0 g/L). The total bilirubin (TBIL) level was significantly lower in the research group than in the control group,except for the subgroup of FIB ≤ 1.0 g/L.

The...This article represents the main positions of the theory of pleiotropic action of biologically active compounds (BACs) and medicines, which has been designed by the author based on her own experimental researches. The term “pleiotropy” means the ability of the BACs and medicines to implement more than one mechanism of action resulting in the specific biological (pharmacological) effect. The interaction of these mechanisms forms a distinct pattern of biological response (pleiotropic pattern), which reflects the change in his character with the increased dose (concentration)-dependent efficacy of BACs and medicines. The article consists of description of different pleiotropic patterns established in experiments on the model of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by macrophages dependent on activity of specialized enzyme called Nox2-NAD(P)H oxidase (Nox2, EC 1.6.3.1). Moreover, it consists of explanation of pharmacodynamic nature of pleiotropic patterns by means of application Chou-Talalay median effect equalization and combination index (CI) theory. The novel theory explains unsolved until now universal aspects of activity BACs and medicines, such as slope angles of “dose-effect” dependences in the conditions relevant in vivo, and it is of fundamental interest. However, it has applications in experimental pharmacology, as it allows defining the choice of the individual compounds and combinations, modulating the trust effect selectively and efficiently. This knowledge opens up new approaches to medicines discovery and evaluation, their rational dosing and combining.展开更多

The retrieval time is from July 2019 to July 2019. Then, we used Revman 5.3 software to meta analyze the data.Results: Nine RCTs were included, six of which were effective observation, two of which were recurrence rate observation, one of which was effective observation and reexamination rate observation. A total of 664 patients were included, including 456 in the experimental group and 208 in the control group. After analysis, it was found that the effective rate of GM in the experimental group was 92.3%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (Western medicine alone) by 75.5% (or = 4.09, 95% CI (2.28, 7.36), P < 00001), the recurrence rate of GM in the experimental group (treated with integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine) was 21.6%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (treated with western medicine alone) by 55.7% (or = 0.19, 95% CI (0.10, 0.37), P < 0.0001).Conclusion: The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of granulomatous mastitis can not only improve the effective rate of clinical treatment, but also reduce the recurrence rate of granulomatous mastitis.展开更多

Methods: System comprehensive retrieve hownet (CNKI), a database of ten thousand China (WanFang), Chinese biomedical database (CBM), weipu database (VIP), PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library database, retrieval time from March 1, 2009 to December 31, 2019, the use of "Cochrane bias risk assessment tools to have included in the quality of literature evaluation, and to use the literature on into RevMan 5.3 software for Meta quantitative analysis. A total of 10 references were included in this study, and a total of 464 clinical cases were included in the total sample size for meta-analysis, including 242 in the experimental group and 222 in the control group. Results: The statistical data show that the total effective rate of combined traditional Chinese and western medicine for the treatment of adenoid hypertrophy in children is higher than that of western medicine alone (OR = 4.27, 95% CI: 2.50, 7.13, P <0.00001) The effect of nasal congestion caused by adenoid hypertrophy in children is better than that of western medicine alone (MD =-0.64, 95% CI [-0.94, -0.35], P <0.0001);the effect of improving snoring symptoms in children Better than using western medicine alone, the difference is statistically significant (MD =-0.66, 95% CI [-1.11, -0.21], P <0.01);the effect of reducing the relative ratio of adenoid and posterior nostril is better than that of pure The difference was statistically significant when treated with Chinese or Western medicine (MD =-0.18, 95% CI [-0.24, -0.12], P <0.00001).

文摘The history of science and medicine has long been steeped in the notion that they are objective(untainted by the philosophical and ideological ebbs and flows of society)and utilitarian(doing what is best for the greater good).Because of this,scientific and medical epistemologies and praxis are often held to an esteem that is unquestioned,celebrated,and occasionally unchecked.A closer look at the history of science and medicine,however,readily reveal the extent to which the milieu of society has informed scientific and medical endeavors.As such,an understanding of how the subjectivities of scientific and medical endeavors situate within our contemporary disciplines and practices is significant to one’s ability to truly understand said disciplines.Likewise,such an evaluation will provide insight into our role in perpetuating the illusion of objectivity in these fields.With this in mind,this paper provides a philosophical and historical examination of the concept of objectivity(in contrast to subjectivity)in science and medicine.
