Journal of Integrative Medicine 2007;5(1):28-31
OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza on serum levels of cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS: Thirty-six SAP patients were randomly divided into Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group and non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group with eighteen patients in each group. Fourteen age-matched healthy volunteers were assigned to control group. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha were tested within 24 hours of admission and 7 days after admission. RESULTS: Compared with those of the healthy volunteers, serum levels of the three cytokines of the SAP patients were significantly elevated (P<0.05). Serum levels of the three cytokines were significantly decreased in both Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group and non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group after 7-day treatment (P<0.05). The declining of the serum levels of the three cytokines in Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group was more obvious than that in non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group. CONCLUSION: Salvia miltiorrhiza can treat SAP patients by reducing the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha.

Objective To investigate the effect of glutathione on serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels in severe acute pancreatifis (SAP). Methods Thirty-six patients with SAP were randomly divided into glutathione treatment group and non-glutathione treatment group. Age-matched controls were enrolled from healthy volunteers. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α were measured within 24 h of admission and the seventh day after admission. Results The serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in SAP patients were (81.34±5.99)ng/L, (97.81±15.61) ng/L and (28.21±1.53)ng/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than (16.69±2.86) ng/L, (26.42±1.59) ng/L and (15.89±1.41) ng/L in control group (P<0.05). Seven days later, the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in glutathione treatment group were (31.21±3.88)ng/L, (35.51±1.27)ng/L and (16.15±1.31)ng/L, respectively, and those in non- glutathione treatment group were (53.88±6.21 ) ng/L, (51.91±9.88) ng/L, (17.88±1.51 ) ng/L, redpectively. The serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α at the seventh day after treatment were lower than those before treatment and the decrease in glutathione treatment group was more significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Glutathione may reduce the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-< and may play a role in the treatment of SAP.

Objective To explore the effect of enteral nutrition combined with parenteral nutrition support on the prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods Sixty-one patients diagnosed with SAP in our hospital from July 2011 to June 2012 were chosen and randomly divided into EN and PN group(30 cases)and PN group(31 cases).At the early stage of treatment,the former group was provided parenteral nutrition(PN)alone while the latter group was given enteral nutrition together with parenter-al nutrition.Then we measured the patients′body mass index on the 1st,2nd,3rd,5th,7th,10th,14th day respectively after admis-sion,and recorded the following indexes:whether complications occurred or not,the time for the first passage of gas by anus and defecation,the total time and cost of hospitalization,the drug proportion and the time the serum and urine amylase returned to nor-mal.Results The two groups of patients′body mass index showed no significant differences in the first 3 days,but there were sig-nificant differences in statistics on the 5th,7th,10th and 14th day(P <0.05).In addition,the two groups of patients formed a sharp contrast in such aspects as the bowel sound recovery time,the anal exhaust time,the total cost of hospitalization and the incidence rate of the complications(P <0.05)whereas there were no remarkable differences in the serum and urine amylase recovery time and the total time of hospitalization(P >0.05).Conclusion Compared with PN,the combined therapy of EN and PN could improve the patients′nutrition,reduce the weight loss caused by consumption,promote intestinal peristalsis,effectively reduce infectious compli-cations caused by floraectopic and ease the patients financial burden.

National traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) master professor Ban Xiuwen had rich experiences on treatment of gynecological diseases with unique insights on diagnosis and treatment for disorders of menstruation, leukorrhea, pregnancy and delivery. FemaleYin-Wei, which was a gynecological disorder, was recorded in the book ofHuang-Di Nei-Jing. However, due to different reasons, TCM study on femaleYin-Wei was far less than the study on male impotence. ProfessorBan Xiuwen had specific considerations for this disease on the book of Treatment of Miscellaneous Gynecological Diseases. In his understanding, femaleYin-Wei was due to four aspects, which were the innate deficiency, yang deficiency and coldness of the uterus; seven emotion damage, liver-qi soothing disorder; spleen-stomach deficiency,qi-blood deficiency; and phlegm-dampness stasis,qi stagnation. Through the analysis and study on case records of femaleYin-Wei treatment by national TCM master professorBan Xiuwen, this article briefly elaborated professorBan Xiuwen’s understandings on femaleYin-Wei treatment from etiology, pathogenesis, treatment according to syndrome differentiation, and clinical experiences. Two femaleYin-Wei cases treated by professorBan Xiuwen were given as examples in order to analyze the etiology, pathogenesis, treatment according to syndrome differentiation and treatment experiences in details. The therapeutic effects of both cases were obvious, which were also important study documents.
