Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of Limb dysfunction after the comprehensive treatment of ischemic stroke by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).Methods:A total of 160 patients with limb dysfunction after ischemic stroke. Who in line with the inclusion criteria, were randomly divided into 2 groups by random number table, 80 cases each. These patients were treated in Multicenter Union Hospital from June 2017 to Janunry 2019. The patients in the control group were given basic Western medicine treatment and rehabilitation training, while the patients in the observation group were given a comprehensive treatment combined with traditional Chinese medicine based on the control group (Chinese herbs, herbal fumigation and ear point press). Both groups were treated for 4 weeks and follow-up for 2 months. The Fugl-Meyerscale were used to evaluate the degree of limb dysfunction and balance dysfunction, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale were used for assessing the damage extent of nerve function, the Barthel index for evaluating the mobility of daily life. The clinical efficacy was evaluated according to the method of Brunnstrom assessment.Results:After treatment, the Limb strong spasm (1.57 ± 0.36 vs. 1.98 ± 0.53, t=5.724), Hemianesthesia (1.37 ± 0.31 vs. 1.80 ± 0.36, t=8.096), Inhibited bending and stretching (1.31 ± 0.25 vs. 1.84 ± 0.46, t=9.055) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The Fugl-Meyer activity and balance rating in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t values were 2.739, 4.705, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The total effective rate of observation group was 93.3% (78/80), the control group was 73.3% (71/80), and there exist statistical significance ( χ2=4.783, P=0.028) in the two group’s comparative difference. Conclusion:The comprehensive TCM treatment can improve the hemiplegia syndrome of ischemic stroke patients and their limb activity and balance function, promote their neural functional recovery, enhance the activity of their daily life and clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Sanjiao fuzheng mixture combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy of paclitaxel and nedaplatin in the treatment of local advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS:A total of 68 patients with local advanced NSCLC selected from our hospital during Jan. 2015 to Jan. 2017 were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 34 cases in each group. Control group was given Paclitaxel injection 135 mg/m2 intravenously,d1+Nedaplatin for injection 75 mg/m2 intravenously,d3,21 d as a treatment course,for 2 courses;routine fractionated intensity modulated radiation therapy,2 Gy each time,5 times a week,60-70 Gy in total;given 2 cycles of primary chemotherapy continuously after radiotherapy. Observation group was additionally given Sanjiao fuzheng mixture 250 mL/d,divided into 3 times,till the end of treatment,on the basis of control group. Clinical efficacies were observed in 2 groups. The levels of nutritional indexes (BMI,PAB,ALB,Hb) and tumor markers (SCC-Ag,CEA,TK1, CYFRA21-10) before and after treatment were observed. The occurrence of ADR were recorded. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in the total effective rate between 2 groups (observation group 82.35% vs. control group 73.53%)(P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of BMI,PAB,ALB and Hb in 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,but the observation group was significantly higher than the control group. The levels of SCC-Ag,CEA,TK1 and CYFRA21-1 in 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree aleucocytosis,Ⅰ-Ⅱ degree hemoglobin reduction and thrombocytopenia in observation group were significantly lower than control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of Sanjiao fuzheng mixture combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy of paclitaxel and nedaplatin is similar to that of concurrent chemoradiotherapy of paclitaxel and nedaplatin for localadvanced NSCLC,which can improve nutritional status significantly,and reduce the incidence of ADR.

80% activity rate against E.coli included piperacillin/tazobactam(93.4%)、ceftazidime(86%),and amikacin(83.3%);The susceptible rate to piperacillin/tazobactam in K.pneumoniae was 84.6%. The susceptible rate to ceftazidime decreased from 82.3% to 69.9%, which was lower than to cefepime (77.2%). Over 50% of Enterobacter cloacae were resistant to ceftazidime, cefotaxime and ceftriaxone. Susceptible rates to piperacillin/tazobactam in E. cloacae,E. aerogenes,Citrobacter freundii and Serratia marcescens (67.7%-96.4%) were higher than those to cefepime (68.8%-77.5%), cefoperazone/sulbactam (59.7%-87.5%). Susceptibility to amikacin among these 4 species (70%-83.7%) was higher than to ciprofloxacin (48.1%-79.5%). All of Morganella morganii and Proteus vulgaris isolates were susceptible to meropenem and imipenem; Over 90% of the isolates were susceptible to cefepime, cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam.The most active agent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was meropenem (84%), followed by amikacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime and imipenem (72.5%-76.6%). Mutiple-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii increased from 33% in 2003 to 48% in 2004. Resistance to carbapenems increased to 18% in this species in 2004. The most active agents against Burkholderia cepacia were meropenme (64.9%), cefoperazon/sulbactam (63.2%), ceftazidime (59.6%), piperacillin/tazobactam (56.1%) and cefepime (52.6%).Conclusions Carbapenems remained very high activity against Enterobacteriaceae. Increasing resistance to 10 antimicrobials agents tested among A. baumanni brought great concern. Meropenem was 4-to 16-fold more active against common gram-negative bacilli than imipenem.
