CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF CHRONIC GASTRITIS PATIENTS WITH QI-DEFIClENCY OF SPLEEN

We have studied the syndrome characteris-tics of chronic gastritis with Oi-deficiency ofSpleen through observations on the effects ofdrugs that invigorate the Spleen and replenish thevital energy 健脾益气药 and on 4 indicators.The preliminary results are as follows.CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONClinical DataIn this series,the 41 patients were confirmedby gastroscopy and pathology to be chronicgastritis,some of them complicated by ulcers ofthe stomach or duodenal bulb.26 cases weremale and 15 cases female;the age ranged

STUDIES ON THE LUMINESCENCE OF CHANNELS IN RATS AND ITS LAW OF CHANGES WITH“SYNDROMES”AND TREATMENT OF ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION

We previously reported the discovery of 14 channels in the human body,which possessed thebiophysical property of high emission of light.In this study we found the same property on theRen and Du channels in healthy rats.Additionally,we discovered that the luminance of the relat-ed channels in rat models with different“syndromes”varied greatly.For instance,a markedlylow luminance appeared on the Du channel in animals with experimental syndrome of Yang defi-ciency induced by hydrocortisone;while in animals with experimental syndrome of blood deft-ciency caused by bleeding,an apparently low luminance occurred on the Ren channel.The inten-sity of the emitted light on Du and Ren channels increased after acupuncture treatment,but notsignificantly.This phenomenon conforms to the theory in traditional Chinese medicine that theDu channel is the“sea of Yang channels”,while the Ren channel is the“sea of Yin channels”.

Clinical Pathologic Study on Effect of Qianggan Capsule(强肝胶囊)in Treating Patients of Chronic Hepatitis B with Liver Cirrhosis

Objective:To explore the clinical therapeutic effect of Qianggan Capsule(QGC)in treating chronic hepatitis B with liver fibrosis from the pathological aspect.Methods:Sixty three patients of chronic hepatitis B with liver fibrosis were randomly divided into the treated group(n=45)and the control group(n=18).Both groups were treated with general liver protective drugs,such as Glucurone and vitamins B complex for 6 months.To the treated group,QGC was used additionally.The levels of serum alanine transaminase and liver fibrosis indexes including hyaluronic acid(HA),collagen typeⅣ(CⅣ)and laminin(LN)as well as the pathological examination of liver biopsy were observed before and after treatment.Results:The liver cirrhosis indexes,HA,CⅣand LN,were improved significantly in the treated group after treatment,P<0.05.The liver function improvement rate in the treated group and the control group was 90.3%and 66.7%respectively,comparison of the two groups showed insignificant difference,P>0.05.Pathological examination showed that the effective rate of treatment on liver inflammatory necrosis activity grade in the treated group was 57.8%and that on liver fibrosis stage was 75.6%,which were significantly improved as compared with those before treatment(P<0.05 and P<0.01),while in the control group,no significant improvement was found after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion:QGC has marked effects in reversing liver fibrosis and alleviating hepatic inflammatory necrosis in patients of chronic hepatitis B with liver fibrosis,and could lower the serum liver fibrosis related indexes effectively.
