BACKGROUND: Dyslipidemia is the important risk of cardiac cerebral vascular diseases, such as arthrosclerosis and coronary heart disease, etc.OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of tiaozhi zengshou tang (herbal decoction) on intervention of dyslipidemia.DESIGN: Randomized, group controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Oncology, Department of Chinese Medicine and Department of Cardiology of General Hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 120 cases from inpatients with dyslipidemia in Department of Chinese Medicine and Department of Cardiology of General Hospital of Chinese PLA and outpatients in Clinic of Blood lipid from February 2002 to January 2004.METHODS: Totally 120 cases of dyslipidemia were randomized into 3 groups. In Chinese herb group (43 cases), tiaozhi zengshou tang (herbal decoction) was prescribed, one dose/d, taking separately before breakfast and dinner. In western drug group (40 cases), pravastatin sodium was prescribed, 10 mg/tablet, 1 tablet/d, taking orally before sleep at night. Integrative group (37 cases) both pravastatin sodium and herbal decoction were prescribed, the dosage, composition and administration were same as previous. The treatment lasted 8 weeks, and then, the therapeutic effects on changes of blood lipid and harmful effects were observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparisons of therapeutic effects and harmful effects among groups.RESULTS: 120 cases were employed in the experiment, but 27 of those were dropped out due to loss of contact and absent re-visiting in time. Total parison of therapeutic effects among groups: The effective rates in Chinese herb group and western drug group were similar (81%, 80%, P ＞ 0.05),changes of blood lipid series before and after treatment in each group: In Chinese herb group, triglyceride (TG) (2.59t1.64) mmol/L was reduced to (1.56±0.72) mmol/L, serum total cholesterol (TC) (5.30±1.71) mmol/L was reduced to (4.35±0.85) mmol/L (P ＜ 0.01) and HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-Ch)(1.32±0.37) mmol/L was increased to (1.50±0.22) mmol/L (P ＜ 0.05). In western drug group, TG (2.84±1.50) mmol/L was reduced to (2.04±0.98) mmol/L,serum TC (5.50±1.22) mmol/L was reduced to (4.71±0.89) mmol/L (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01) and APoA1 (1.24±0.21) g/L was increased to (1.49±0.15) g/L (P ＜ 0.01). In integrative group, the therapeutic effects were significant in re ducing TG, TC, LDL-Ch and APoB and increasing APoA1 and HDL-Ch harmful effects in Chinese herb group were less than western drug group (1 case, 7 cases).CONCLUSION: Tiaozhi zengshou tang provides definitely clinical therapeutic effects in dyslipidemia and presents low incident of harmful effects.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of Shenlong decoction(main ingredients consisted of ginsent root,radix polygonimultiflori,Pheretima,Ligusticum wallichii,Fructas Alpiniae oryphyllee etc.)on the treatment of cerebral vascular dementia (VD)in the elderly patients.Methods VD in all the patients(age:72.1?5.3 years old)was diagnosed according to the APA criteria, and the cerebrovascular diseases were confirmed by CT or MRI.68 patients were divided into 2 groups randomly.The experimental group consisting of 36 patients was given Chinese traditional medicine,Shenlong decoction,orally 500ml q.i.d.for 3 months,and the other 32 patients were given acetamide pyrrolidone(piracetam)orally 1.6g,tid for 3 months as a control group.The MMSE(Mini Mental State Examination)and BBS(Bless Behaviour Schedule)were used to evaluate the cognitive function and the daily activity in those patients be- fore and after treatment.Results After treatment,the scores of cognition and daily activity were improved in all the patients with VD. The effective rate in the Shenlong group was 52.8%,and 53.13% in the piracetam group.There was no significant difference in the im- provement of the short time memory and orientation ability between the two groups.However,compared with the control group,the score of daily activity was significantly improved in the Shenlong decoction group only(P

Objective To observe the changes in sublingual collateral vessels of elderly patients with diabetes. Methods Sublingual collateral vessels of 88 patients with diabetes were observed and compared with that of 76 normal people. Results The changes in sublingual collateral vessels of patients with diabetes were more serious than that of normal people (u=4.174, P

Objective To evaluate the treatment of ulcerative colitis with combined Chinese oral herbs and herbs enema with western medicine. Methods 105 patients with ulcerative colitis diagnosed by colonoscopy were randomly divided into two groups: traditional combining with western medicine treatment group (treatment group) with 65 patients, and western medicine treatment group (control group) with 40 patients. In the treatment group the treatment consisted of oral herbs and enema herbs as well as sulfasalazine, while in the control group the patients received sulfasalazine only. After two courses of treatment, the immediate cure rate and cure rate after 2 years were assessed. Results The immediate cure rate and total efficacious rate of treatment group were 52% and 94.64% respectively, while those of control group were 36.2% and 82.5%, respectively. There was significant difference between two groups in the effective rate (P

Objective To investigate the effect of Shuyusan on the behavior of chronic stress induced depression model rats, as well as concentrations changes of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) in cerebral cortex. Method Fifty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group, model group, amitriptyline group, and high/low dose prescription group of Shuyusan. Except normal group, the other groups were given the chronic mild unpredicted stress for 21 days. After 21 days different stimulation, open-Field test was used to estimate the behavior of rats, the concentrations of NE, DA and 5-HT were detected with fluorescence spectrometer method.
