Objective To observe clinical effect of self-made xiaozhongsanjie decoction combined with levothyroxine sodium tablets in treatment of thyroid nodule.Methods From July 2013 to July 2014, 52 cases of thyroid nodule patients were randomly divided into two groups: control group( n=25)and study group(n=27).The control group were received levothyroxine sodium tablets, while the study group were given self-made xiaozhongsanjie decoction on the basis of control group.Both groups were treated for 24 weeks.The changes of thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH ) , serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), serum free tetraiodothyronine (FT4) levels, and the thyroid nodule size of two groups before and after treatment were recorded and compared.ResuIts After 24 weeks’ treatment, the thyroid nodule size of both groups reduced, and the descending range of study group was much larger than that of control group (P<0.05).The TSH levels of both groups descended, and the descending range of study group was much larger than control group (P<0.05).While the FT4 levels all increased in both groups, and the ascending range of study group was much larger than control group (P<0.05).And the total effective rate of study group was 77.78%, which was significantly higher than control group (48.00%, P<0.05). ConcIusion The therapy of self-made xiaozhongsanjie decoction combined with levothyroxine sodium tablets in treatment of thyroid nodule could control or reduce the thyroid nodule size effectively.

From 1988 — 1990, the plasma 6 — keto —PGF_1. and TXB_2 were detected with radioimmunoassay in 100 cases with various types of viral hepatitis. The results showed thatTXB_2 and 6—keto— PGF_1. increase and PGF~./TXB_2 ratio decreased. There was clear difference as compaied with the normal. The value and PGF_1./TXB_2 ratio were correlated with jaundice, ascits, spontaneous peritonitis,and hepatorenal syndrome.

Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus and Hedysarum polybotrys belong to different genera, but have similar drug efficacy in traditional Chinese medicine theory, and H. polybotrys was used as the legal A. membranaceus var. mongholicus previously. In this study, similarities and differences between them were analyzed via their ITS/ITS2 fragments information. The ITS (internal transcribed spacer) regions were amplified using polymerase chain reaction and then sequenced in two-way. The alignment lengths of ITS regions were 616 bp, in which 508 loci were consistent, and 103 loci were different, accounting for 82.47% and 16.72% of the total ITS nucleotides in length, respectively. As genotype determines phenotype, 1HNMR-based metabolomic approach was further used to reveal the chemical similarities and differences between them. Thirty-four metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectra, and twenty-seven metabolites were the common components. Amino acids, carbohydrates and other primary metabolites were similar, while a large difference existed in the flavonoids and astragalosides. This study suggests that A. membranaceus var. mongholicus and H. polybotrys show similarities and differences from molecular and chemical perspectives, which has laid a foundation for elucidating the effective material basis of drug with similar efficacy and resources utilization.
