OBJECTIVE To discuss about the recurrent respiratory tract infections(RRTI) treatment by traditional Chinese medicine.RRTI is very commonly in children. METHODS According to clinical experience, as well as integrated with Western medicine,we think about the mechanism of RRTI from two sides.The main reason was the function of lung and spleen deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine theories;another reason was attached with outside evils.We treaed RRTI with different syndromes with different methods,such as dispelling the evil in the superficies with acrid drugs and cod drugs,regulating the function of lung and spleen;supplement Qi and supporting superficies, regulating Ying and Wei,nourishing Yin to reduce heat,strengthening the spleen and nourishing lung.

Objective To evaluate in a large open study if Jitongning capsule is potentially useful in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, and observe the safety of Jitongning capsule. Methods Sixty-five patients with ankylosing spondylitis were recruited. Jitongning capsule group were thirty-five patients, using Jitongning capsule at a dose of 4.2 g/d. The control group was using Sulfasalazine. There were thirty patients, using Sulfasalazine at a dose of 2.0 g/d. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), patient’s global assessment, total body pain, spinal pain and night pain, ESR and CRP were measured at 1, 3, 6 months. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20% improvement response according to the ASAS International Working Group criteria (ASAS20 responders) at month 1, 3, 6. Results The study was completed on 56 patients. The treatment group was completed on 33 patients. The control group was completed on 23 patients. Side effects of two groups were uncommon and well tolerated. The ASAS20 was achieved by 66.67% of patients in the treatment group and by 60.86% of patients in the control group at month 6. Conclusion Jitongning capsule can treat the patients of earlier and mid-half ankylosing spondylitis. That is safety and similar to Sulfasalazine.

Objective To observe the changes in sublingual collateral vessels of elderly patients with diabetes. Methods Sublingual collateral vessels of 88 patients with diabetes were observed and compared with that of 76 normal people. Results The changes in sublingual collateral vessels of patients with diabetes were more serious than that of normal people (u=4.174, P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism and treatment of diabetes among elderly patients from the view of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).METHODS On the basis of clinical experience and the achievement of the modern medicine,we expounded the mechanism of diabetes among elderly patients and treat from eight parts.RESULTS Using eight different TCM methods to treat diabetes elderly patients,we found their good curative effect with less adverse reaction,good prognosis,and very suit for old man.CONCLUSIONS TCM has large potentiality and advantage among diabetes elderly patients complicated with respiratory tract infection.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Xiaoke Huayu tablet on impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Methods 168 patients who were proved to have IGT were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (n=86) and control group (n=82). All the patients were asked to take abstinent diet with proper athletic exercises. The patients in the treatment group were treated with Xiaoke Huayu tablet. No drug was given to patients of the control group. The therapeutic effect and data of laboratory findings before and after treatment in both groups were analyzed and compared. Results There was significant differences before and after treatment between two groups. The total effective rate was 91.8% in the treatment group and 68.3% in the control group (P

Objective:To explore the influence of Xiaokehuayu Pills on blood glucose,superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity and malonaldehyde(MDA) of diabetic complicating hyperlipemia rats.Methods:Diabetes rat model was established by injection of alloxan with high fat diet.After the model formed,60 rats were been divided into 6 groups:normal control group,model group,high/middle/low dose groups of Xiaokehuayu Pills and Yuquan Pills group.The blood glucose and SOD activity and MDA content was measured before and after 6 weeks treatment.Results:The blood glucose in model group was signif icantly higher than that in normal control group(P

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of immunoloregulation induced by tripterygium glycosides on experimental IgA nephropathy in rats.MethodsRat model of IgA nephropathy was established with bovine serum albumin and staphylococcal enterotoxins compound immunization.The urine erythrocyte,urine protein in 24 h,renal function,erythrocyte C3b receptor rosette rate and kidney constitution pathology alteration among the normal control group,model group and tripterygium glycosides group were compared.ResultsCompared with the model group,urine erythrocyte,urine protein,serum Cr and BUN reduced( P<0.05),erythrocyte C3b receptor rosette rate was higher(P<0.05),IgA depositing on glomerular mesangial region was less and renal function improved in rats of the tripterygium glycosides group.ConclusionTripterygium glycosides have better therapeutic effect and adjusting action for immune disturbance.
