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 analyze clinicopathological features of synchronous colorectal carcinoma. Methods Data of colorectal cancer patients admitted to our hospital from June 1994 to December 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into multiple synchronous colorectal carcinoma group ( MCG) and single colorectal cancer group ( SCG). Clinicopathological features and prognosis were compared between the two groups. SPSS 10. 0 was used for data analysis. Results Of all colorectal cancer(CRC) patients,3. 2 % (39/1225) had multiple synchronous CRCs and 939 patients had sporadic single CRC. In MCG, two patients had hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer ( HNPCC) syndrome. No significant differences were found between MCG and SCG with regard to demographic features, Dukes stage and differentiation of index CRC. More patients in MCG had metachronous CRC (x2 = 4. 545, P= 0.033) and colorectal polyps ( x2 = 12. 013, P = 0.001) compared with SCG. Forty-six percent of multiple synchronous CRCs located in right colon in MCG, which was higher than that in SCG ( x2 = 25. 757 ,P = 0. 0001). Malignancy in adenoma was the frequent event accompanying cancer in MCG. Five-year survival rate in MCG was 57% compared with 64% in SCG ( x2 =0.084, P = 0.772 ). Conclusion Patients with right colon cancer seem easily to have multiple synchronous CRCs and malignancy in adenoma is most frequently accompanying the cancer. For patients with multiple synchronous CRCs, the prognosis is equivalent to that of patients with SCG.

Objective To investigate the effect of allicin on the development of atherosclerosis in apoE-/-mice and explore its underlying mechanism from the perspective of protein S-nitrosylation.Methods Thirty male apoE-/- mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group (saline,ig),low-dose group (allicin,9 mg/kg·d, ig)and high-dose group (allicin,18 mg/kg·d,ig).They were fed with high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks.The levels of plasma lipids,oxidized-LDL (ox-LDL),malondialdehyde,tumor necrosis factor-alpha and nitric oxide (NO)were measured.The atherosclerotic lesions in aortic root were evaluated after hematoxylin and eosin staining and elastica van Gieson and immunohistochemical staining,respectively.Furthermore,in vitro experiments were performed using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).The HUVECs were treated with allicin (10μmol/L or 20 μmol/L)for 24 hours in the presence of ox-LDL (50 μg/mL).The level of NO in supernatant was measured by a nitrate/nitrite assay. The protein S-nitrosylation of the HUVECs was detected through immunofluorescence.Results The histological analysis revealed that allicin treatment not only significantly decreased the areas of the atherosclerotic lesion (all P <0.05)but also suppressed the macrophage accumulation and smooth muscle cell proliferation in the lesion.There was no significant difference in the levels of plasma lipids between control and treated groups.However,allicin exerted obvious anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Interestingly,the allicin treatment led to marked increase of the plasma NO level (P <0.05)and aortic protein S-nitrosylation.The experiments in vitro further proved that the allicin up-regulated the levels of NO and protein S-nitrosylation in HUVECs treated with ox-LDL (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Allicin can inhibit the development of atherosclerosis.The mechanism is associated with the up-regulation of protein S-nitrosylation in endothelial cells, which plays an important role in anti-oxidization and anti-inflammation.

Objective To explore the damage of spiral ganglion neurons(SGNs),the protective effects of different dosages of healthy ear compound (HEC)from traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) against age-induced SGNs degeneration and its possible mechanism in spiral ganglion neurons(SGNs)of C57BL/6J mice.Methods Totally 36 C57BL/6J mice just after ablactation were randomly divided into four groups.Normal control group (n =6)drank tap water daily from ablactation to 2 months old.Ageing-related SGNs apoptosis control group(n=12)drank tap water daily from ablactation to 7 months old.High dose TCM group(n=12)at drank 3.65 g/kg/d of HEC from ablactation to 7 months old.Low dose TCM group(n=6)drank 0.91 g/kg/d of HEC from ablactation to 7 months old.The animal cochleae were immediately removed at the termination of the experiment.In each group,the cochleae of 6 animals were used for paraffin embedding,slicing and toluidine blue staining to observe neuronal morphological changes.The caspase-3 mRNA expression study was performed by real-time PCR technique in 6 cochleae of High dose TCM group and ageing-related SGNs apoptosis control group.Results The morphological structure of cochlear SGNs represented healthy and normal density in normal control group at 2 months old.In contrast,amount or density of SGNs in cochlear basilar part was significantly damaged and reduced in ageing-related SGNs apoptosis control group at 7 months old(P< 0.001).But the high dose TCM group at 7 months of age was similar to the normal control group at 2 months old in morphological structure,amount or density of SGNs(P>0.05).The low dose TCM group was significantly different from other 3 groups in amount or density of SGNs (P<0.001).However,SGNs in the middle part and apical part showed integrity in each group.In addition,the expression level of caspase-3 in the cochlea of high dose TCM group was also obviously different with age-related SGNs apoptosis control group(P<0.01) Conclusions Ageing-related damage of SGNs in C57BL/6J mice begins from the base of cochlea and progresses towards the apex.The HEC of TCM could significantly protect SGNs against age-induced apoptosis in SGNs.The efficacy of the high dose TCM is better than that of the low dose TCM.Its SGNs protective mechanisms might be related to involving the caspase-mediated cell apoptotic pathway.
