OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibiting effect of Naomaikang(NMK) on atherosclerosis(AS) METHODS:Healthy male california rabbits were randomized into 5 groups(n=10):normal group,model group,Fenofibrate group,NMK groupⅠ(2ml) and NMK group Ⅱ(1ml) The rabbits in each group,except the normal one,were fed with hypercholestrol diet and the medicines were given to the other three groups at the same time The blood of each group was sampled for determining the platelet aggregation rate(PAR) before and after experiment The aorta of rabbit in each group was dissected out and stained with oil red 0,then the areas and incidences of plaque on aorta wall were calculated,the aortic arch was taken to observe under the light and electron microscopes RESULTS:The PAR in model group was significantly increased compared with those in other groups(P

To study and analyze the reinforcing-reducing manipulations of acupuncture in Internal Classic.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of reduced port laparoscopic radical resection on colorectal cancer. Methods: Clinical data of 46 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing reduced port laparoscopic radical resection were retrospectively analyzed. Results: All of 46 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery, with an average operation time of 206 minutes, an average intraoperative bleeding of 56 ml, an average number of lymph nodes removement of 12/case (ranged from 6 to 21). One case had incision infection, 2 cases had anastomotic leakage, and they all recovered and discharged after treatment. Conclusions Reduced port laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer is safe and feasible, reduces labor costs, and has a good clinical efficacy, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Licorice is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used in clinic. The products,what contain licorice or licorice extract, has early been involved in the field of cosmetics except for the field of pharmaceuticals and food. Consequently, the reporting on adverse reactions induced by licorice preparations are more frequent.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Method:Seven databases, including CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, The Cochrane library and ClinicalTrials.gov, were electronically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM in the treatment of PSCI. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies, descriptive analysis was carried out on the included studies, and the Meta quantitative analysis was carried out with RevMan 5.3 software. Result:A total of 16 RCTs were included with 1 296 participants, and they were assigned to the intervention group (n=649) and the control group (n=647). The results showed that TCM combined with western medicine group and TCM group were better than western medicine group in improving the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index (BI), Activity of Daily Living (ADL), Chinese stroke scale (CSS) and National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) of PSCI patients, and no serious adverse events were observed. Conclusion:TCM has potential advantages in improving the cognitive function of patients with PSCI, and it also has certain efficacy in improving the daily living ability and neurological impairment symptoms, and no serious adverse events have been observed. Due to the low quality of methodology included in the studies, in order to provide reliable basis for clinical decision-making, high-quality of RCTs are still needed to study the efficacy and safety of TCM for PSCI.
