Objective To observe the effect of therapeutics of invigorating spleen and kidney, removing blood stasis and clearing away turbidness on lipid metabolism and renal function in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods Fifty-eight patients with CRF were randomly divided into the treated group (30 cases) and the control group (28 cases). Both groups were treated with low-protein diets, controlling hypertension and symptomatic treatment. And Chinese drugs for invigorating spleen and kidney, removing blood stasis and clearing away turbidness were given additionally to the treated group. The curative effect, renal function and lipid metabolism were observed after two months. Results TC, TG and APOB in the treated group lowered significantly, HDL-C and APOAⅠraised significantly after treatment (P0.05). The total effective rate and the improvement of renal function in the treated group were better than those in the control group (P

Objective To observe the effect of the therapeutics of warming Yang and inducing diuresis with removing blood stasis and clearing away turbidness in retarding the course of chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods Sixty-five patients with CRF were randomly divided into the treated group (33 cases) and the control group (32 cases). Both groups were treated with low-protein diets,controlling hypertension and symptomatic treatment. And Chinese drugs for warming Yang and inducing diuresis with removing blood stasis and clearing away turbidness were given additionally to the treated group. The time (month) for doubling serum creatinine (SCr) level was taken to evaluate the speed of CRF progression. Results In the treated group,the time for SCr increased from (300.5?99.2) ?mol/L to (602.0?199.6) ?mol/L was (27.6?9.1) months,while in the control group,the time for SCr increased from (296.3?96.8) ?mol/L to (598.8?198.4) ?mol/L was (17.2?5.7) months. Comparision between the tow groups showed significant difference (P

Objective To discuss the incidence trends of hyperuricemia in people of different TCM constitutional types by analyzing the constitutional types of patients with hyperuricemia,and to lay a foundation for follow-up study in preventive and therapeutic measures for hyperuricemia.Methods 518 healthy people and 525 people of hyperuricemia were included in our research by identifying their TCM constitutional types by the self testing table of constitutional classification and determination of TCM promulgated by China Association of Chinese Medicine.Hyperuricemia's high-risk constitutional types were analyzed.Results People of dampness-heat constitution (24.57%),phlegm-dampness constitution (22.86%) and static-blood constitution (11.05%) were top 3 groups in occurrence rate of hyperuricemia,the risk ofhyperuricemia in these three groups above were significantly higher than the other constitutional types.On the contrary,the risk of hyperuricemia in the group of the mildly constitution (8.57%) and the group of qi-asthenia constitution (6.29%)were significantly lower than the other groups.Conclusion People of dampness-heat constitution,phlegm-dampness constitution and static-blood constitution were high risk groups of hyperuricemia,which deserved our attention in research of preventive and therapeutic measures for hyperuricemia.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of point application combined with catgut implantation at acupoint for lung-distention. Methods A total of 122 patients with lung-distension were randomized into a treatment group (62 patients) and a control group (60 patients). The patients in the control group received conventional treatment, and those in the treatment group were additionally treated with point application combined with catgut implantation at acupoint on the basis of the control group for 4 weeks. At 6 months follow-up, pulmonary function including the forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) and the percentage of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), the total effective rate and acute exacerbation rate were compared in both groups. Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (98.4%vs. 85.0%;χ2=5.592, P<0.05). There were no significant difference in the acute exacerbation rate between the treatment group and the control group (8.1%vs. 20.0%;χ2=3.358, P>0.05).The FEV1 (treatment group: 71.58% ± 2.23% vs. 59.98% ± 2.19%, t=29.223, P<0.01; control group: 66.99% ± 2.25% vs. 61.03% ± 2.50%, t=13.726, P<0.01) and the FEV1/FVC (treatment group:68.99%± 1.33%vs. 50.77%± 1.45%, t=72.914, P<0.01; control group: 62.67% ± 1.47% vs. 51.89% ± 1.88%, t=34.989, P<0.01) after the treatment were significantly increased compared with before the treatment in both groups and such improvement in the treatment group was greater in the treatment group than that in the control group (FEV1: t=13.726, P<0.01;FEV1/FVC:t=34.989, P<0.01). Conclusion Point application combined with catgut implantation at acupoint can improve lung function and clinical effects in patients with lung-distention.
