The ideal approach for treatment of dry eye is to normalize the condition by rebuilding the superficial circumstance of the eye, and to make tear film work as well as possible so as to relieve the irritating symptoms in the eye. The authors are making a comprehensive discussion on the methods and curative effects of treating dry eye by traditional Chinese medicine and by integrative Chinese and Western medicine in recent years, so as to introduce the distinctive features of the traditional Chinese medicine and integrative Chinese and Western medicine in this field.展开更多

Methods: The 65 cases of SARS patients were treated with ICWM and 37 cases with western medicine (WM) alone as the control in our hospital from March 11 to April 30, 2003. The results were analyzed, with T subset profile tested for all the 102 patients. Results: Sixty-five cases of SARS patients treated with ICWM included 52 mild cases of whom 51 cases were cured (98.1%) and no patient died. As to the 13 severe cases in this group, 9 were cured (69. 2%) and 2 died (15. 4%). Of the 37 cases treated with WM alone, 16 out of the 18 common cases were cured (88. 9%) and 10 out of the 19 severe cases were cured (52. 6%), with the other 9 died (47. 4%). Comparison between the two groups (P=0. 061) showed the difference was close to the value for statistical significance. But considering that the number of samples was small, more cases are needed for further study. The immune function examination: in cases of the common type, after ICWM treatment, CD4 + T lymphocytes were increased from 360±247 cell/mm3 to 563±479 cell/mm3 (P<0. 05). In the group treated with WM alone, CD4+ T lymphocytes were increased from 331 ±193 cell/mm3 to 772±354 cell/mm3 (P<0. 05). As to the severe cases after ICWM treatment, CD4+ T lymphocytes increased from 352±279 cell/mm3 to 525±490 cell/mm3 (P>0. 05). In the group of severe cases treated with WM alone, CD4+ T lymphocytes reduced from 229±69 cell/mm3 to 205±108 cell/mm3 (P>0. 05). While after ICWM treatment, CD4+ T lymphocytes were significantly higher than that of the group treated with WM alone (P< 0. 05). Conclusion: Compared with the group treated with WM alone, ICWM can significantly improve the prognosis, reduce the mortality as well as improve the immune function of SARS patients.展开更多

Herbal slice （HS） and Chinese patent drug （CPD） are commonly used CHM in China. This study aimed to investigate the utilization of CHM among clinicians and cancer patients in central China. Five hundred and twenty-five patients and 165 clinicians in 35 comprehensive hospitals in central China were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire that was designed to evaluate the use of CHM. The results showed that 90.74% clinicians and 72.24% cancer patients used CHM during cancer treatment. The educational backgrounds of the clinicians and the age, education level, annual income, and cancer stage of the cancer patients were re- lated to use of CHM. More than 90% clinicians and cancer patients had used CPD. Comparatively, the percentage of HS use was 10% lower than that of CPD use among clinicians and cancer patients. More clinicians preferred to use CHM after surgery than cancer patients did （20.41% vs. 5.37%）. Enhancing physical fitness and improving performance status were regarded as the most potential effect of CHM on cancer treatment （85.71% among clinicians and 94.07% among cancer patients）, in comparison with directly killing tumor cells （24.49% among clinicians and 31.36% among patients）. As for refusal rea- sons, imprecise efficacy was the unanimous （100%） reason for clinicians＇ rejection of CHM, and 95.58% patients objected to using CHM also for this reason. Furthermore, the side effects of CHM were more concerned by clinicians than by patients （33.33% vs. 15.81%）. In conclusion, our survey revealed that CHM was popularly accepted by clinicians and cancer patients in central China. The reasons of use and rejection of CHM were different between clinicians and cancer patients.展开更多

The patients in the control group were treated with single western medicine, while the patients in the observation group were treated with enema treatment of traditional Chinese Medicine. The clinical therapeutic effects of the two groups were evaluated and compared. The blood coagulation indexes of the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), the plasma fibrinogen (Fib), the D dimer (D-D) of two groups patients who in the treatment were detected and compared. The serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels of the patients in the two groups were measured and compared.Results: The clinical efficiencies of the observation group and the control group were 97% and 75%, the clinical efficiencies and the therapeutic effects of the observation group were better than those in the control group, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups. The plasma Fib levels and the plasma D-D levels after the treatment of the patients in the two groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment, the difference was statistically significant. The plasma Fib levels and the plasma D-D levels after the treatment of the patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant. The serum inflammatory factors levels after the treatment of the patients in the two groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment, the difference was statistically significant. The serum inflammatory factors levels after the treatment of the patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, the difference is powerful and have statistically significant.Conclusion: The application of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the treatment of UC can improve the therapeutic effect significantly, correct imbalance of the patients' coagulation dissolution function, reduce the degree of inflammatory reaction, which benefits to promote of the patients' rehabilitation, reduce the incidence of complications and improve the prognosis of patients.展开更多
