Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2015;(6):569-572
Objective To observe the clinical effect of Danggui Sini decoction for treatment of patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis and spleen-stomach deficiency cold syndrome.Methods A prospective randomized control trial was conducted, including 126 in- and out-patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis diagnosed by gastroscopy and spleen-stomach deficiency cold syndrome differentiated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) method admitted to Chinese Medicine Hospital of Haikou City. They were randomly assigned to an observation group (65 cases) and a control group (61 cases). The patients in observation group were given Danggui Sini decoction with addition or/with subtraction of ingredients according to individual situation (ingredients: angelica 15 g, ramulus cinnamomi 15 g, paeonia 15 g, asari 5 g, glycyrrhizae 10 g, Chinese jujube 12, medulla tetrapanacis 10 g ). The warm 200 mL (one dose) decoction was divided into two parts, one part was taken orally before a meal, twice daily, the therapeutic course was 4 weeks and in one week only 6 doses were applied; while the patients in control group, omeprazole capsules (dissolved in intestine), each time 20 mg, once a day combined with domperidone (bite phenanthroline) 10 mg each time, 3 times a day were given. After 4 weeks of treatment, the clinical efficacy, the total integral of symptoms, the therapeutic effect of TCM symptoms score, the improvement of the therapeutic effect of mucosal histological and changes of the number of patients with the patholoyical changes of mucosa under gastroscopy were observed.Results The total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [96.9% (63/65) vs. 86.9% (53/61),P < 0.05]. After treatment, the total integral of symptoms and the integrals of main TCM symptoms after treatment were lower than those before treatment, the degree of decrease in the observation group being more marked (the total integral of symptoms score: 12.36±2.11 vs. 15.94±2.37, epigastric distention integral score: 1.23±0.72 vs. 2.12±0.78, epigastric pain score: 1.18±0.67 vs. 2.25±0.94, thermophilic and like pressure integral score: 1.03±0.46 vs. 1.62±0.79, anorexia: 1.06±0.57 vs. 1.43±0.53, integral of loose stools score: 1.36±0.43 vs. 1.67±0.58, lassitude integral score: 1.24±0.32 vs. 1.65±0.42, allP < 0.05). Under gastroscope, the efficacy of mucosal histological change was significantly higher in observation group than that in control group [90.77% (59/65) vs. 81.97% (50/61),P < 0.05]. After treatment, the numbers of patients with chronic inflammatory cell infiltration (47 cases vs. 54 cases), erythema exudation (28 cases vs. 30 cases), flat erosion (8 cases vs. 15 cases), swelling erosion (5 cases vs. 6 cases), bile reflux (2 cases vs. 3 cases) and positive pylorus spirobacteria (20 cases vs. 29 cases) were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group (allP < 0.05).Conclusion The therapeutic effects of Danggui Sini decoction for treatment of patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis and TCM syndrome of spleen-stomach deficiency-cold are remarkable.

Objective To investigate the prognostic significance of extended resection for locally advanced colorectal carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 960 cases of colorectal cancer hospitalized for surgery between Jan 1995 and Dec 2002 were reviewed, and complication rates, perioperative mortality, 5-year survival were calcualated, prognostic factors were analyzed using Cox regression model. Results Sixty-six patients with locally advanced colorectal carcinoma were treated with extended resection, accounting for 6.9% of the total cases. Surgical complication rate in this subgroup was 27.3% (18/66), relatively higher than that of conventional resection for colorectal carcinoma (?~2 =8.82, P=0.002). The perioperative mortality was zero. Pathology showed that carcinoma invasion into the adjacent organs resected en bloc was 31% (27/88), the 5-year survival rate was 62%. The tumor spreading into the adjacent organ (Wald=7.42,P=0.005) and lymph node status (Wald=4.55, P=0.035) were found to be the independent prognostic factors. Conclusions Extended resection for locally advanced colorectal carcinoma resulted in a favorable prognosis. Postoperative complication was relatively high, but still acceptable.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome in the treatment of humerus shaft comminuted fractures using limited open reduction and internal fixation combined with an external fixator.Methods Data of 80 patients with comminuted humerus shaft fractures treated from January 2005 to January 2013 were analysed retrospectively.All the patients underwent limited open reduction and internal fixation combined with an external fixator (treatment group) and open reduction and plate fixation (control group) according to the random number table.In the treatment group,there were 40 patients (28 males,12 females),at mean age of 33.5 years (range,21-54 years),with causes of injury including traffic accidents in five patients,falls in nine,crashes in seven and others in six.There were seven patients with open fractures and 33 with closed fractures.In the control group,there were 40 patients (25 males,15 females),at mean age of 32.9 years (range,19-55 years),with causes of injury including traffic accidents in 16 patients,tumbling in seven,crush in seven and others in ten.There were eight patients with open fractures and 32 with closed fractures.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,bone union time and complications in both groups were recorded.Clinical efficacy was evaluated using the Stewart and Hundley standard.Results Mean follow-up was 19 months (range,15-24 months).Treatment and control groups showed significant differences in operation time [(55.5 ± 10.3) minutes vs.(120.5 ± 15.3) minutes],intraoperative blood loss [(120.4 ± 20.7) ml vs.(245.4 ± 26.7) ml] and bone union time [(11.6 ± 1.3) weeks vs.(14.9 ± 2.3) weeks] (P < 0.05).Rate of incision infection was 8% (3/40) in treatment group and 10% (4/40) in control group (P > 0.05).In treatment group the results were excellent in 31 patients and good in nine.In control group the results were excellent in 27 patients,good in nine,fair in one and poor in three.One patient with radial nerve injury after a second surgery for implant removal and two patients with osteomyelitis or bone nonunion were noted in control group.Conclusion Limited open reduction and internal fixation in combination with an external fixator is associated with small trauma,easy operation,short operation time,few bleeding,rigid fixation,early functional exercises and reduced bone nonunion for treatment of comminuted humerus shaft fractures,which exhibits great clinical value.

Objective:To observe the effects of static 70° head-up tilted standing and of repeated body repositioning on hemodynamics in healthy young and middle-aged persons.Methods:The hemodynamics of 24 middle-aged and 23 younger persons were studied. Both groups were requested to perform static 70° head-up tilted standing and to repeatedly change their body position from 0° to 70° of tilt at a velocity of 1°/second for ten minutes in a random order. Before, between and after each test the subjects rested supine for ten minutes. Hemodynamic variables and blood pressure were recorded non-invasively.Results:The average heart rate (HR) increased significantly in both groups when rising from supine to the testing positions. In 70° tilted standing the average HR of the youth group, 84.0±9.5bpm, was significantly higher than that in the other position and that of the middle-aged group in the same position. The average HR of the middle-aged group in 70° tilted standing was also significantly higher than in the other position. Among the middle-aged group, the average stroke volume (SV) in the testing positions was significantly lower than when resting. Significant differences were observed in the average diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between the testing and rest positions for both groups, with the average DBP of the middle-aged group significantly higher than that of the youth group in all three positions. Among the youth group, the average SV, CO and systolic blood pressure (SBP) of the males were significantly higher than among the females in all of the different body positions.Conclusions:Young persons mainly rely on an increased heart rate to maintain cardiac output while middle-aged participants appear to achieve this through increased peripheral resistance. Repeated position changes have less impact on hemodynamics than 70° inclined standing, making it a safer and more stable training method. However, the long-term effects of such intervention need to be confirmed in further studies.
