Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2014;(2):178-180
[Objective]Exploring from the specific case analysis of Chinese and western medicine treatment of primary amenorrhea with the clinical curative effect of infertility. [Method]In2013 January by Professor Xu Xiaofeng, doctor diagnosed primary amenorrhea with infertility and 1 patient of typicalcase, combined traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and western medicine artificial menstrual cycle for 3 months, 3 months after the Chinese medicine Tiaozhou method combined with low dose of HMG with HCG inovulation induction treatment. [Result]After the treatment, the patients had pregnancy 70D, blood hormone and B Ultrasound examination were normal. [Conclusion]Combined treatment of TCM and western medicine is better than pure Chinese medicine or western medicine, suggesting that combination of TCM and western medicine is effective for the treatment of primary amenorrhea with infer-tility.

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) and iodised oil infusion chemotherapy without embolisation (TAI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
MATERIALS AND METHODSWe searched for randomised controlled trials, retrospective cohort studies, and two-arm prospective studies that compared the clinical outcomes in patients who received TACE and TAI treatment. Database search was performed through 14 December 2016. Rates of survival and therapy response were compared using odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
RESULTSSurvival rates and therapy response rates were similar between patients who received TACE and TAI treatments (pooled OR: 1.278; 95% CI, 0.783 to 2.086,= 0.327; and pooled OR: 1.502; 95% CI, 0.930 to 2.426,= 0.096, respectively).
CONCLUSIONOur results suggest that treatment intensification by adding embolisation did not increase overall survival and therapy response over TAI in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To study the status and trend of research on the relationship between diabetes and intestinal flora from 2004 to 2021 using bibliometric analysis method.Methods:Research articles related to diabetic intestinal flora from 2004 to 2021 were searched through the Science Web database. The bibliometrics software package used is R-4.0.0. The number of articles published, the country of publication, the research institution, the citation status of the journal, and the keywords were analyzed.Results:A total of 343 papers were published from 2004 to 2021, with an overall increase in the number of papers published. All references were cited 15 794 times in total, with an average of 46.05 citations per article. The literature were published in 32 countries or regions, of which China had the largest number of publications and the United States had the largest number of citations. All the works of literature involved 707 research institutes, of which Copenhagen University published the most. Six of the 10 scientific research institutes with the largest number of published articles were Chinese. All works of literature involved 1 160 keywords, which could be clustered into six categories: intestinal flora, inflammation, microbial flora, diseases, metabolism and weight loss. All the documents were mainly published in 226 journals. Among the 10 documents with the highest citation frequency, there were nine journals in the first layer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal classification and four documents with citation frequency greater than 500.Conclusion:The research on intestinal flora of diabetes is in its infancy, but it has developed well. The research mainly focuses on how intestinal flora affects the pathogenesis of diabetes.
