Methods: The data of 67 LS-SCLC patients who received combined treatment of Chinese medicine(CM) and Western medicine(WM) between January 2013 and May 2020 at the outpatient clinic of Guang’anmen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-six LS-SCLC patients who received only WM treatment was used as the WM control group. The medical data of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Survival analysis was performed using the product-limit method(Kaplan–Meier analysis). The median OS and PFS were calculated, and survival curves were compared by the Log rank test. The cumulative survival rates at 1, 2, and 5 years were estimated by the life table analysis. Stratified survival analysis was performed between patients with different CM administration time. Results: The median PFS in the CM and WM combination treatment group and the WM group were 19 months(95% CI: 12.36–25.64) vs. 9 months(95% CI: 5.96–12.04), respectively, HR=0.43(95% CI: 0.27–0.69, P <0.001). The median OS in the CM and WM combination group and the WM group were 34.00 months(95% CI could not be calculated) vs. 18.63 months(95% CI: 16.43–20.84), respectively, HR=0.40(95% CI: 0.24–0.66, P<0.001). Similar results were obtained in the further stratified analysis of whether the duration of CM administration exceeded 18 and 24 months(P<0.001). Conclusion: The combination treatment of CM and WM with continuing oral administration of CM treatment after the first-line chemoradiotherapy for LS-SCLC patients produced better prognosis, lower risks of progression, and longer survival than the WM treatment alone.(Registration No. Chi CTR2200056616)展开更多

文摘Objective:To investigate the factors related to renal impairment in patients with diabetic kidney disease(DKD)from the perspective of integrated Chinese and Western medicine.Methods:Totally 492 patients with DKD in 8 Chinese hospitals from October 2017 to July 2019 were included.According to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes(KDIGO)staging guidelines,patients were divided into a chronic kidney disease(CKD)1-3 group and a CKD 4-5 group.Clinical data were collected,and logistic regression was used to analyze the factors related to different CKD stages in DKD patients.Results:Demographically,male was a factor related to increased CKD staging in patients with DKD(OR=3.100,P=0.002).In clinical characteristics,course of diabetes>60 months(OR=3.562,P=0.010),anemia(OR=4.176,P<0.001),hyperuricemia(OR=3.352,P<0.001),massive albuminuria(OR=4.058,P=0.002),atherosclerosis(OR=2.153,P=0.007)and blood deficiency syndrome(OR=1.945,P=0.020)were factors related to increased CKD staging in patients with DKD.Conclusion:Male,course of diabetes>60 months,anemia,hyperuricemia,massive proteinuria,atherosclerosis,and blood deficiency syndrome might indicate more severe degree of renal function damage in patients with DKD.(Registration No.NCT03865914).
文摘Gastric cancer(GC)is a malignant tumor originating from the gastric epithelium,and its incidence and mortality rates rank third among all malignant tumors worldwide.It is also one of the most common cancers in China and is treated predominantly by Western medicine in clinical practice.However,with the advancements in medical technology and informatics,the values of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in preventing and treating GC and improving prognosis have increasingly been recognized.According to TCM,clinical manifestations of GC can be divided into Yege(dysphagia),regurgitation,stomach pain,and Zhengxia(abdominal mass).Due to the unbalanced distribution of health care resources in China,most GC patients already have progressive or advanced-stage disease at the first diagnosis.As a result,most GC patients have poor physical function,and surgery or chemotherapy alone will aggravate the impairment to the immune function and seriously affect the quality of life.In contrast,TCM therapies have shown promising efficacy in the management of these patients.Here we review the role of the integrated TCM and Western medicine in treating advanced GC.
文摘Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease of unclear etiology,characterized by continuous and diffuse inflammatory changes of colorectal mucosa.In recent years,the incidence rate of UC in China has increased year by year,but there is no effective cure method in Western medicine.Traditional Chinese medicine treatment based on syndrome differentiation has the unique advantages of simplicity,convenience,effectiveness,and low cost.Therefore,integration of Chinese and Western medicine has become an important strategy for UC diagnosis and treatment,and has made significant progress in UC.On the basis of learning from a number of consensuses at home and abroad,combined with Chinese research results and the actual clinical situation of traditional Chinese and Western medicine,the UC group of the Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine has formulated the expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of UC with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.In this consensus,the pathogenesis,etiology and pathogenesis,diagnosis,integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment,and chronic disease management with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for UC were recommended by experts.This article interprets the consensus from the perspective of nursing in order to provide reference basis for clinical nursing workers.
文摘Gastric cancer is a common and highly malignant tumor of the digestive system,which seriously threatens human health.The benefit of surgical treatment is limited.The effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not significant,and the toxic and side effects are large.Although the diagnosis and treatment modes of molecular targeting and multidisciplinary cooperation have also been further developed and applied,a relatively unified comprehensive treatment standard scheme has not been formed.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),as complementary and alternative medicine,has unique advantages in the development of diagnosis and treatment of diseases in China.Therefore,the Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine formed“Expert Consensus for Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastric Cancer with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine”on the basis of clinical practice and experience.In this article,the consensus is interpreted from the perspective of nursing,focusing on the pathogenesis,high‑risk factors,characteristic therapies of TCM,and nursing of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for gastric cancer,to provide a reference for front‑line medical personnel in the roots in the future nursing care of gastric cancer.

文摘Objective: To investigate the efficacy of integrated Chinese and Western medicine extending the progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS) of limited-stage small-cell lung cancer(LS-SCLC) patients after the first-line chemoradiotherapy. Methods: The data of 67 LS-SCLC patients who received combined treatment of Chinese medicine(CM) and Western medicine(WM) between January 2013 and May 2020 at the outpatient clinic of Guang’anmen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-six LS-SCLC patients who received only WM treatment was used as the WM control group. The medical data of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Survival analysis was performed using the product-limit method(Kaplan–Meier analysis). The median OS and PFS were calculated, and survival curves were compared by the Log rank test. The cumulative survival rates at 1, 2, and 5 years were estimated by the life table analysis. Stratified survival analysis was performed between patients with different CM administration time. Results: The median PFS in the CM and WM combination treatment group and the WM group were 19 months(95% CI: 12.36–25.64) vs. 9 months(95% CI: 5.96–12.04), respectively, HR=0.43(95% CI: 0.27–0.69, P <0.001). The median OS in the CM and WM combination group and the WM group were 34.00 months(95% CI could not be calculated) vs. 18.63 months(95% CI: 16.43–20.84), respectively, HR=0.40(95% CI: 0.24–0.66, P<0.001). Similar results were obtained in the further stratified analysis of whether the duration of CM administration exceeded 18 and 24 months(P<0.001). Conclusion: The combination treatment of CM and WM with continuing oral administration of CM treatment after the first-line chemoradiotherapy for LS-SCLC patients produced better prognosis, lower risks of progression, and longer survival than the WM treatment alone.(Registration No. Chi CTR2200056616)
文摘Today’s social economy and science and technology levels are developing rapidly.Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is increasing in incidence,and T2DM promotes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)through some mechanisms.The pathogenesis of T2DM and NAFLD is interconnected,interacted with,and promoted.While increasing the economic burden on patients,it also affects the quality and life of patients themselves.In the world,the current treatment methods include exercise and diet control,drugs(including sugar reduction,lipid-lowering drugs,etc.),weight loss surgery,etc.,but currently,researching drugs can only control the progress of the disease.At present,there is no drug for T2DM combined with NAFLD treatment.Therefore,it is necessary to find and study effective drugs for NAFLD.Based on the principle of“syndrome differentiation,”traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)played an important role in treating this disease.The theory of TCM believes that the cause of NAFLD is mostly diet disorders and imbalances in daily life,leading to liver Qi stagnation,spleen dysfunction,and liver and kidney deficiency,producing phlegm and stasis.During the treatment process,we must pay attention to the goal of phlegm turbidity,but also pay attention to the source of phlegm turbidity,strengthen the spleen and stomach,nourish the liver and kidney,and restore the physiological function of the body.The ingredients of Chinese medicine extracts have the effects of antagonist oxidation stress,protecting liver cells,improving fibrous soluble systems,and promoting lipid metabolism,thereby reducing inflammatory factors to release damage to liver cells.By combining the diagnosis of TCM syndromes with Western medical disease diagnosis,the model of disease diagnosis combined with syndrome differentiation can compensate for some of the limitations of TCM’s sole reliance on syndrome differentiation,allowing for a better grasp of the disease.In treatment,a dual approach using traditional Chinese and Western medicine can enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity,leveraging both complementary strengths.Chinese medicine explains its treatment of NAFLD from a macro and micro level,providing a safer and more effective method for treating the disease.
