ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of Ningmitai capsule for treatment of patients with diabetic urinary tract infection.Methods A total of 100 diabetes patients with urinary tract infection from Zunyi First People's Hospital in Guizhou Province and Longkou Family Planning Service Station in Shandong Province wereenrolled in the study and randomly divided into control and treatment groups after they were informed and gave consent. With basic therapy to lower blood glucose, 65 cases in the treatment group were treated with Ningmitai capsule(4 granules/time, every grain of 0.38 g), while another 35 cases of the control group were given Sanjin tablets (4 granules/time, every grain of 0.29 g), 3 times a dayfor 2 weeks in both groups. Before and after treatment, the clinical effect, blood routine, urine routine, blood glucose, negative conversion ratio of midstream urine bacteria culture and tradition Chinese medicine syndrome curative effect in both groups were observed.Results The total effective rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group〔88.52%(54/61) vs. 70.59%(24/34),P<0.01〕. Before treatment, the differences in red blood cell(RBC) and white blood cell(WBC) count in urine samples as well as RBC, WBC, hemoglobin(Hb) and glucose in blood samples had no statistical significance in the comparisons between the two groups(allP>0.05). Compared with those before treatment, after treatment, the urinary RBC and WBC were decreased in treatment group, while in control group WBC was decreased but RBC increased, and in the comparisons of above indexes between the two groups there were statistical significant differences〔RBC(cell/μL): 1.99±0.59 vs. 9.11±3.76, WBC(cell/μL): 23.09±6.18 vs. 63.72±25.76, bothP<0.05〕. The blood RBC was significantly lowered after treatment in control group(×109/L: 3.93±0.40 vs. 4.02±0.39,P<0.05). In both groups, after treatment, WBC, Hb and glucose in blood were reduced in comparisons to those before treatment, and no statistical significant differences were found(allP>0.05). Negative conversion ratio of midstream urine bacterial culture in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group〔80%(4/5) vs. 0(0/2)〕. Syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine were ameliorated at different degrees after treatment in both groups. The effectiveness of treatment group on urinary urgency, yellowish turbid urine and swelling pain in lower abdomen were obviously more valid than that of control group〔urinary urgency: 90.0%(54/60) vs. 61.8%(21/34), yellowish turbid urine: 75.0%(39/52) vs. 47.6%(10/21), swelling pain in lower abdomen: 74.5%(35/47) vs. 70.6%(12/17),P<0.05 orP<0.01〕, but other symptoms were similar in the two groups(allP>0.05).ConclusionThe clinical efficacy of Ningmitai capsule is better than that of Sanjin tablet for treatment of patients with diabetic urinary tract infection, and no adverse reaction has been seen in clinical observation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the serum tumor markers level of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) ,cytokeratin fragment antigen21-1 (CYFRA21-1),neuron specific enolase (NSE) in patients with lung cancer, and the change after chemotherapy on them. Methods Radioimmunoassay was applied to detect the levels of CEA, CYFRA21-1 ,NSE in 45 patients with advanced NSCLC before and after chemotherapy,and the tumor markers were also detected in 20 patients with SCLC and 20 patients with benign lung diseases of control groups. ResultsThe levels of CEA, CYFRA21-1, NSE in lung cancer group before chemotherapy were much higher than benign group, but there was no difference of CYFRA21-1 between the SCLC group and benign group. The same result of NSE was found between NSCLC and benign group(P >0. 05). The value of NSE was lower in the patients with SCLC after chemotherapy than before(P <0. 01 ). The level of CYFRA21-1 was lower in squamous carcinoma than before( P <0. 01 ). But in the adenocarcinoma group only NSE's level was lower after chemotherapy( P >0. 05) ,there were no differences in CEA and CYFRA21-1 ( P > 0. 05 ). ConclusionThe levels of the three tumor markers rise obviously in advanced NSCLC and decrease after chemotherapy. The differences were significant with NSE in SCLC and CYFRA21-1 in squamous cell carcinoma and CEA in adenocarcinoma. The levels of serum CEA,CYFRA21-1 and NSE could be a tumor marker in progressive lung cancer. And the decrease of the levels could be used to evaluate the chemotherapeutic response respectively in different pathologic types of lung cancer.

The experience of famous and veteran physicians in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a supplement to the cognition of industry groups and a high-quality learning resource. Digital inheritance of the experience of famous and veteran TCM physicians refers to the use of digital technology to record, organize, protect, spread, share and innovate the knowledge, skills and experiences of famous and veteran TCM physicians, which helps to overcome the inefficiency of traditional experience inheritance and realize the inheritance and development of TCM culture. Digital inheritance has certain advantages in accessibility, loss resistance, accuracy, innovation ability and effectiveness, which can assist the digital preservation, analysis and excavation of the experience of famous and veteran TCM physicians, and is an important supplement to the traditional way of learning from teachers. Digital inheritance is usually divided into the following steps: building a database of TCM knowledge, building a database of experienced medical records of famous and veteran TCM physicians, discovering laws by data mining, and assisting clinical decision-making with machine learning. The digital inheritance of famous and veteran TCM physicians is not only the use of experience information, but also the process of innovation and productization based on experience, which may become a new service model of TCM diagnosis and treatment.
