OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standards for Qiqilian capsule. METHODS:TLC was used to identify the As-tragali Radix,Phellodendri chinensis,Coptidis rhizom. HPLC was used to determine the contents of ginsenosides Rg1,ginsenosides Rb1 and notoginsenosides R1. The column was Shim-pack VP-ODS C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(gradient elution) at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 203 nm,column temperature was 20 ℃. RESULTS:TLC of Astragali Radix,P. chinensis,C. rhizom showed cleer sports and good separation. The linear range was 0.9-9.0 μg for ginsenosides Rg1,0.94-9.4 μg for ginsenosides Rb1 and 0.3-3.0 μg for notoginsenosides R1(r≥0.999 5);RSDs of precision,reproducibility and stability test were lower than 3.0%;recoveries were 96.08%-99.75%(RSD=1.52,n=6),97.03%-99.75%(RSD=1.10,n=6)and 96.38%-98.55%(RSD=0.90,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,good reproducibility,and can be used for the quality control of Qiqilian capsule.

Objective To explore the value of galactography in diagnosis of nipple discharge diseases. Methods Galactographies in 101 cases with nipple discharge confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed restrospectively. Results There were breast duct ectasia in 23 cases, breast cystic hyperplasia in 12 cases , ductal inflammation in 8 cases, intraductal papilloma in 46 cases, ductal carcinoma in 9 cases, ductal tuberculosis in 1 case and normal duct in 2 cases. Conclusion The galactography is beneficial in diagnosis of the pathogenesis of galactorrhea and is of great value in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions.

Radiation-induced skin injury refers to the acute and chronic skin damage caused when skin is exposed to radiation. Radiation-induced skin damage may be created by nuclear disaster, radiation accident, radiation therapy, occupational exposure and so on. Approximately 95% of patients receiving radiotherapy will eventually develop into radiation-induced dermatitis during or after the treatment. As a consequence, how to appropriately prevent and remedy radiation-induced skin injury is of great practical significance. According to traditional Chinese medicine, radiation-induced skin injury belongs to fire, heat and toxin, blocking Qi and blood, injuring the muscle surface, affecting the distribution of Qi, blood and body fluid in the body, and damaging the function of viscera. This paper summarizes the cognition and development of traditional Chinese medicine theory of radiation-induced skin injury, as well as the research progress of internal and external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to provide a basis for the research and treatment of radiation-induced skin injury with traditional Chinese medicine.

This paper was aimed to study the effectiveness and safety of TanshinoneⅡA Sulfonate Sodium Injection in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Keywords such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, coronary heart disease, unstable angina, chest impediment, cardialgia, TanshinoneⅡA Sulfonate Sodium Injection, tanshinone injection, tanshinoneⅡA sulfonate, unstable, angina, randomized controlled trial (RCT), and clinical trials were searched in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang and Pubmed from the construction of database until October 31st, 2014. The inclusion criteria were RCT with clinical data integrity, similar literature research methods, and good balance between groups. The Jadad score method was used to carry out quality assessment. Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan5.2 software. Count data was processed by odds ratio (OR). Measurement data was processed with the weighted mean differences (WMD). The 95% confidence interval (CI) was also calculated. The heterogeneity test result of included literatures was P > 0.05. The fixed effects model was used in the meta-analysis. On the other hand, random effect model was used. For the analysis results of more than 10 papers, the funnel plot was used in the analysis of publication bias. The results showed that a total of 34 studies were included. The results of meta-analysis suggested that the total efficiency of conventional treatment plus TanshinoneⅡA Sulfonate Sodium Injection for UAP was [OR = 3.83, 95%CI (3.11, 4.71),P < 0.000 01]. The electrocardiogram improvement rate was [OR = 3.34, 95%CI (2.61,4.28),P < 0.000 01]; plasma viscosity improvement was [WMD = -0.20, 95%CI (-0.38, -0.03),P = 0.03]; high shear viscosity of whole blood improvement was [WMD = -0.67, 95%CI (-0.85, -0.50),P < 0.000 01]; C-reactive protein improvement was [WMD = -2.66, 95%CI (-3.31, -2.00),P < 0.000 01]. It was concluded that the conventional treatment plus TanshinoneⅡA Sulfonate Sodium Injection for UAP had certain clinical effect with no obvious adverse reaction. However, due to the poor quality of the existing research literatures, the results should be further verified by large amount of high quality RCTs.

Migraine is one of the most prevalent and disabling neurological disease, but the current pharmacotherapies show limited efficacy and often accompanied by adverse effects. Acupuncture is a promising complementary therapy, but further clinical evidence is needed. The influence of acupuncture on migraine is not an immediate effect, and its mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to provide further clinical evidence for the anti-migraine effects of acupuncture and explore the mechanism involved. A randomized controlled trial was performed among 10 normal controls and 38 migraineurs. The migraineurs were divided into blank control, sham acupuncture, and acupuncture groups. Patients were subjected to two courses of treatment, and each treatment lasted for 5 days, with an interval of 1 day between the two courses. The effectiveness of treatment was evaluated using pain questionnaire. The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were analyzed for investigating brain changes induced by treatments. Blood plasma was collected for metabolomics and proteomics studies. Correlation and mediation analyses were performed to investigate the interaction between clinical, fMRI and omics changes. Results showed that acupuncture effectively relieved migraine symptoms in a way different from sham acupuncture in terms of curative effect, affected brain regions, and signaling pathways. The anti-migraine mechanism involves a complex network related to the regulation of the response to hypoxic stress, reversal of brain energy imbalance, and regulation of inflammation. The brain regions of migraineurs affected by acupuncture include the lingual gyrus, default mode network, and cerebellum. The effect of acupuncture on patients' metabolites/proteins may precede that of the brain.
