OBJECTIVE To discuss about the recurrent respiratory tract infections(RRTI) treatment by traditional Chinese medicine.RRTI is very commonly in children. METHODS According to clinical experience, as well as integrated with Western medicine,we think about the mechanism of RRTI from two sides.The main reason was the function of lung and spleen deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine theories;another reason was attached with outside evils.We treaed RRTI with different syndromes with different methods,such as dispelling the evil in the superficies with acrid drugs and cod drugs,regulating the function of lung and spleen;supplement Qi and supporting superficies, regulating Ying and Wei,nourishing Yin to reduce heat,strengthening the spleen and nourishing lung. RESULTS It has a good theropentio effective with traditional Chinese medicine on RRTI.During acute infectious period,we treated mainly eliminate evils,as well as to support healthy energy.During recovery period,we treated mainly support healthy energy,as well as to eliminate evils. CONCLUSIONS Traditional Chinese medicine has long time therapentir effect on RRTI,with less recurrence.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of Cangfu daotan decoction on expression of organic anion transporting poly-peptide(oatp4a1)and level of sex hormone in the endometrium and ovary tissues of rats with obesity-type polycystic ovarian syn-drome(PCOS). METHODS:Obesity-type PCOS rat models were established. 50 rats were randomized into a normal control(iso-metric normal saline)group,a model(isometric normal saline)group,a metformin(0.043 g/kg)group and Cangfu daotan decoc-tion high-dose and low-dose [5.68 and 1.42 g(medicinal materials)/kg] groups. The rats were given drugs ig once a day for 14 con-secutive days. The expression of oatp4a1 protein in the endometrium and ovaries of the rats was determined by ECL and Western blot. The levels of luteinizing hormone(LH),follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),testosterone(T)and estradiol(E2)in rat’s se-rum were detected by ELISA. RESULTS:Compared to the normal control group,those in the model group had weaker expression of oatp4a1 protein in the endometrium and ovaries,higher levels of serum LH,LH/FSH and T,lower levels of serum FSH and E2. There were statistical significances(P<0.01). Compared to the model group,those in metformin group,Cangfu daotan decoction high-dose and low-dose group had higher expression of oatp4a1 protein in the endometrium and ovaries,lower levels of LH/FSH and T,higher levels of serum E2;those in metformin group and Cangfu daotan decoction high-dose group had lower levels of serum LH,higher levels of serum FSH. There were statistical significances(P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cangfu daotan decoc-tion can increase the expression of oatp4a1 in the endometrium and ovaries of obesity-type PCOS model rat,alleviate phlegmy dampness and regulate the level of sex hormone.
