1.Clinical effect and application value of the effect of lianqi capsules combined with chemotherapy treated with advanced liver cancer
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;(1):123-124
Objective To discuss clinical effect and clinical application value of lianqi capsules treated with the middle-late stage primary liver cancer. Method We choosed 168 cases of middle-late stage primary liver cancer patients in Guang'an District Hospital,Sichuan province,Guang'an treatment, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group. Both two groups were treated with the same chemotherapy regimens. Pingxiaopian were auxiliarily used in control group, and lianqi capsules in observation group. Clinical curative effect and security of two groups were observed. Result There was no statistically significant difference between the total effective rate of clinical treatment group and control group. There were statistically significant differences between two groups on the quality of life period (P<0.05) and adverse reactions (P<0.05). Conclusion Lianqi capsules combined with chemotherapy was used in treatment of patients with locally advanced primary liver cancer, and it can effectively improve the patients’quality of life in the whole process, control the growth of the tumor, and increased synergistic effect of chemotherapy for patients. So Lianqi capsules was worthy in clinical application and popularization.

This study was aimed to observe clinical efficacy of Bushen Huoxue Kaiqiao (BSHXKQ) treatment of diabetes-induced vascular mild cognitive impairment . A total of 30 cases of diabetes-induced vascular mild cognitive impairment were randomly divided into the treatment group ( 15 cases ) and the control group ( 15 cas-es). The treatment group received free-fried BSHXKQ prescription (Cistanche 10 g, Shichangpu 5 g, Sanqi 2 . 5 g ) for treatment 3 times a day , and in combination of 30 mg of nimodipine , 3 times a day . In the con-trol group , 30 mg of nimodipine was orally administrated 3 times a day . The treatment was continued for 6 months. Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Beijing Edition ( MoCA ) and TCM Syndrome Score were used in the evaluation before and after the treatment . The results showed that the rate of progress was in both groups after treatment . In the treatment group , the rate was 86 . 70%, and in the control group the rate was 33 . 33%. The total effective rate in the treatment group was superior to the control group ( P < 0 . 05 ) . There were statistical significances in the MoCa Scale , ADL Scale and TCM Syndrome Score before and after treatment in each group ( P < 0 . 05 ) . The treatment ef-fect in the treatment group was superior to the control group ( P < 0 . 05 ) . There was no statistical significance in the incidence of adverse events in both groups . It was concluded that the effect of BSHXKQ prescription in the treatment of diabetes-induced vascular mild cognitive impairment was superior to nimodipine in improving activities of daily living , cognitive function , degree of dementia and TCM syndrome score . There was no differ-ence in the incidence of adverse events compared with nimodipine .

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) and arbidol in treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 178 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 admitted to Guangzhou Eighth People′s Hospital from January 20 to February 10, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to patient′s antiviral treatment regimens, 178 patients were divided into 4 groups including LPV/r group (59 patients), arbidol group (36 patients), LPV/r plus arbidol combination group (25 patients) and the supportive care group without any antiviral treatment (58 patients). The primary end point was the negative conversion time of nucleic acid of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by pharyngeal swab.Results:The baseline parameters of 4 groups before treatment was comparable. The negative conversion time of viral nucleic acid was (10.20±3.49), (10.11±4.68), (10.86±4.74), (8.44±3.51) days in LPV/r group, arbidol group, combination group, and supportive care group respectively ( F=2.556, P=0.058). There was also no significant difference in negative conversion rate of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid, the improvement of clinical symptoms, and the improvement of pulmonary infections by CT scan ( P>0.05). However, a statistically significant difference was found in the changing rates from mild/moderate to severe/critical type at day 7 (χ 2=9.311, P=0.017), which were 24%(6/25) in combination group, 16.7%(6/36) in arbidol group, 5.4%(3/56) in LPV/r group and 5.2%(3/58) in supportive care group. Moreover, the incidence of adverse reactions in three antiviral groups was significantly higher than that in supportive care group (χ 2=14.875, P=0.002). Conclusions:Antiviral treatment including LPV/r or arbidol or combination does not shorten the negative conversion time of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid nor improve clinical symptoms. Moreover, these antiviral drugs cause more adverse reactions which should be paid careful attention during the treatment.
