Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2015;26(2):173-177
Objective To investigate the impacts of Xuebijing injection on systemic inflammatory response and immune function of patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Forty patients with severe AECOPD were divided into control group and Xuebijing group in accordance with the random number table, each group 20 cases. Both groups were treated by routine conventional basic therapy of severe AECOPD including anti-infection, phlegm-expelling formula, bronchodilators and mechanical ventilation, etc, while in Xuebijing group, intravenous drip of Xuebijing (100 mg, twice a day for 5 days) was additionally used. The changes of data of arterial blood gas analysis, blood routine examination, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), immune function, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation system Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score before and after therapy were observed and compared between the two groups. The length of stay in hospital, duration of mechanical ventilation, and prognosis were also compared between the two groups. Besides, according to the difference in APACHE Ⅱ score, all the patients were divided into APACHEⅡscore≥15 score group (18 cases) and APACHEⅡscore<15 score group (22 cases), and the immune function were compared between the two groups. Results ①The immune function was descended and disordered in patients with severe AECOPD. Compared with the < 15 score group, the expressions of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, B-lymphocyte, natural killer cell (NK cell) in ≥ 15 score group were significantly lowered [CD45+(×106/L):663.92±100.61 vs. 1 289.92±169.38, CD3+(×106/L):342.05±108.93 vs. 882.37±172.56, CD4+(×106/L):205.96±63.97 vs. 486.24±108.64, CD4+/CD8+ratio:0.76±0.49 vs. 1.32±0.57, B-lymphocyte (×106/L):124.77±32.72 vs. 166.06±48.02, NK cells (×106/L): 186.47±39.57 vs. 243.51±44.72, all P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of CD8+ between the ≥ 15 score group and < 15 score group (P > 0.05). ② Compared with those before therapy, the pH value, oxygenation index, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), white blood cell count (WBC), CRP, PCT were significantly improved after therapy in both control and Xuebijing groups. Compared with those in the control group, WBC, CRP, PCT were significantly lowered in Xuebijing group [WBC (×109/L): 10.29±3.83 vs. 12.69±3.42, CRP (mg/L): 9.06±4.19 vs. 15.26±4.22, PCT (ng/L): 0.18±0.21 vs. 0.42±0.24, all P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in pH value, oxygenation index and PaCO2 between two groups (all P>0.05). The degrees of improvement of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were more remarkable in Xuebijing group after treatment than those in control group [CD45+ (×106/L): 1 079.38±153.86 vs. 1 015.63±157.11, CD3+ (×106/L): 652.05±100.05 vs. 596.81±106.85, CD4+ (×106/L): 358.92±67.53 vs. 329.99±72.61, CD8+ (×106/L): 205.73±35.19 vs. 230.41±39.74, CD4+/CD8+ratio: 2.16±0.63 vs. 1.52±0.54, all P < 0.05]. The B-lymphocyte and NK cell before treatment and after treatment showed no statistical significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the duration of mechanical ventilation (hours: 56.25±22.87 vs. 69.45±26.59) and the length of stay in hospital (days: 11.00±0.74 vs. 14.00±2.06) were shortened, and APACHE Ⅱ score was significantly lowered in Xuebijing group (8.21±2.97 vs. 12.08±3.12, P < 0.05). The numbers of multiple organ failure and dead patients in Xuebijing group were less than those of control group, but no statistical significant differences were found (both P > 0.05). Conclusion Xuebijing injection for treatment of patients with severe AECOPD can ameliorate inflammatory response, improve immune function, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of stay in hospital, and decrease the risk of death.

Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2014;21(4):244-247
It's known that ICU patients is in critical condition and might deteriorate rapidly,so it's important for them to get appropriate nutritional support in order to recover.We must make proper nutrition treatment plan for patients according to their different nutritional condition and potential risk.Nutritional risk screening can not only assess the nutritional status of children,is more likely to predict its potential nutritional risk,to guide nutritional support treatment plan,and ultimately improve the prognosis.Looking out for comprehensive,simple,fast,and easy nutritional risk screening tools as soon as possible and appropriate nutrition risk screening is significantly for growth and development as well as prognosis of ICU patients.
9.Cancerous toxin is the key pathogenic factor of malignant tumor
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2008;6(2):111-4
The definition of cancerous toxin and the relationships between cancerous toxin and other factors including the etiopathogenesis, pathogenesis and treatment of malignant tumor were discussed in this paper. The author suggests that the cancerous toxin is engendered by the disequilibrium of human body, which is the foundation of tumorigenesis. Cancerous toxin is the main pathogenic factor or one of the main pathogenic factors during the development of malignant tumor, hence it is also the key point for understanding and treating malignant tumor.
10.Pondering the research on syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2004;2(2):86-9
Syndrome research is a challenging field in the research on traditional Chinese medicine and there is no breakthrough at all in this field as yet, although some progresses from various aspects have been achieved in recent years. The definition of syndrome based on the conceptions of traditional Chinese medicine is basically clear, but the qualitative macro-criteria for syndrome are not standardized and the research methods for quantification of such criteria are not unified. These hindered the processing of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine to a great extent; therefore new research methods for syndrome using techniques of modern sciences should be further investigated. During the research of syndrome, it is suggested that: (1) the research should be turned to complex syndrome from the fundamental simple syndrome gradually, on the basis of certain diseases in western medicine; (2) animal experiment would be of no significance before quite a successful research performed in human body; (3) the results of the research of syndrome should be in agreement with the life science as well as the entire natural science.
