In the 43 cases of the treatment group, No. 2 Qu Feng Shi Ling capsules (祛风湿灵胶囊2号) and Fenbid (芬必得) were prescribed, while in the 39 cases of the control group Lei Gong Teng Tablets (雷公藤总甙片) and Fenbid were given. The results showed that the total effective rate in the treatment group was more satisfactory than that in the control (P<0.05 or P<0.01). With less toxic effects, the former could better improve the local swelling and lower the blood viscosity.展开更多

Method: Twelve TCM prescriptions of herbal drugs (orally or iv) were used to treat 16 cases of SARS without using glucocorticoids, anti-viral agents, immune-regulators or antibiotics (in case there was no definite bacterial infections). The symptoms, signs, chest roentgenograms and lab examinations were carefully monitored and recorded for evaluation of the effectiveness. Results: The average fever abatement time was 4.44±1.46days and the mean absorption time of gross pulmonary infiltration was 10.87±2.92 days. No exacerbation occurred during the treatment. Conclusion: TCM intervention could effectively control and alleviate the symptoms and prevent the disease from exacerbation.展开更多

Currently, Western medical treatment could depress the blood pressure rapidly and surely through reducing blood volume and dilating blood vessels, while traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) shows its superiorities in alleviating clinical symptoms, improving patients' quality of life, lessening or reversing the damage on terminal organs and preventing the occurrence of serious complication, by way of comprehensive regulation at multiple levels, multiple links and multiple targets. For this reason, the thinking and method of TCM in treating hypertension were summarized by the authors on the basis of pathogenesis of Western medicine and the achievements of pharmacological researches on Chinese herbs,and in conjugation with the clinical practice of TCM, for the purpose of promoting further the therapeutic effect of TCM in treating hypertension.展开更多

To date, convincing evidence is still lacking as to whether metastasis could be controlled by surgery, radio- or chemotherapy. However, TCM measures have proved to be advantageous in improving the survival quality and prolonging the survival period by decreasing the rate of distant metastasis of tumors. The following is a brief summary on the advances in this field.展开更多

This paper summarizes the treatment of fluorosis in traditional Chinese medicine from the aspects of the traceability of TCM theory, etiology and pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation and cure, special disease specialty and foreign medicine, so as to guide clinical practice. TCM treatment of fluorosis more use of tonifying kidney and bone, activating blood circulation stasis, cold moisturizing, Tongluo pain relief and other methods, based on dispelling evil and tonifying kidney, combined with a variety of treatment methods, in relieving clinical symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients have an irreplaceable role, has been widely recognized, but most of the research reports are their own work experience summary, Lack of uniform diagnosis and treatment standards, and small sample size, data repeatability is weak, future research needs to further enhance the scientific and objective of the experiment, for TCM treatment of fluorosis to provide a scientific and reasonable diagnosis and treatment program, give full play to the advantages of TCM therapy.展开更多

According to statistics, the percentage of AD patients between ages of 6 to 20 in dermatology clinics is 30%~1, and the incidence in school-age children is 2%~3%~2. AD has no corresponding nomenclature in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). According to the initial time of attack in early childhood, it can be classified as NaiXuan and TaiXuan; according to the location of the disease(elbow fossa and popliteal fossa), it can be classified as Si Wan Feng; according to the specific cases of different characteristics of lesions, it can be classified as ShiChuang, Jin Yinchuang, XueFengChuang. In TCM, the etiology of AD is complicated. It is generally considered that the pathogenesis of AD is spleen deficiency and damp-heat^3. When children suffer from pathogenic wind, pathogenic dampness, pathogenic heat, or insufficient natural endowment, damp-heat is produced and it injures patients' skin. Also latent damp-heat can deplete the blood and succus in the body, dry the skin and lead to AD. In short, AD can be divided into 3 syndrome types in TCM: syndrome of spleen deficiency, syndrome of damp-heat, syndrome of blood deficiency. At present, the clinical study of AD treated by TCM is increasing, but the study of children's treatment is still rare. This article aims to make a summary of clinical studies of children's AD treated with TCM in recent years.展开更多
