Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect and security of Buyang Huanwu decoction in treatment of the ischemic stroke recovery. Methods: We retrieved the relevant articles of random and semi- random control trials in treating ischemic stroke recovery using Buyang Huanwu decoction, published in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Wanfang Data, the Weipu Information Resources System, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Cochrane Library, PUBMED and MEDLINE from the date of establishment until to March 2018. The quality of studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane Reviewers?? handbook 5.1, and the study was carried out using Cochrane system assessment methods. Statistical analysis was performed with Rev Man 5.3. Results: Altogether 39 studies and 3539 cases of ischemic stroke recovery were enrolled. In terms of clinical efficacy, the difference between Buyang Huanwu Decoction and Western Medicine conventional therapy in the treatment of ischemic stroke was significantly different from that of conventional western medicine therapy [RR =1.26, 95%CI (1.20, 1.31), Z =10.05, P < 0.00001], and the difference between Buyang Huanwu Decoction and other Chinese patent medicines was statistically significant [RR =1.12, 95%CI(1.06, 1.19), Z =3.82, P =0.0001]; neurological deficit NIHSS score [MD =-2.55, 95%CI (-3.10, -2.01), Z =9.20, P < 0.00001]; clinical neurological deficit score (CSS) [MD =-3.85, 95%CI (-5.21, -2.50), Z =5.56, P < 0.00001]; limb motor function score (FMA) [MD =6.10, 95%CI (1.19, 11.01), Z =2.43, P =0.01]; Barthel Index of Daily Living Activity Scale [MD =9.09, 95%CI (6.95, 11.23), Z =8.33, P < 0.00001]; In terms of improving blood rheology index, serum peroxide lipid (LPO), serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and other biochemical indicators, due to the small number of studies, it may have a certain effect. Most studies did not report adverse reactions. Conclusion: Based on the existing clinical evidence, combination of Buyang Huanwu decoction and western medicine has higher clinical efficacy than western medicine alone for the ischemic stroke recovery. Due to the limited methodological quality of the included studies, more high- quality RCTs with large scale are needed to increase the strength of the above evidence.

Objective:To investigate the symptoms of patients with oral cancer during treatment, and explore the types of symptom groups and their correlation with quality of life.Methods:Totally 201 patients with oral cancer after surgery were selected as the subject from a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital using convenient sampling and investigated with the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for Head and Neck cancer (MDASI-HN) and University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL) , and explore the relationship between them.Results:Totally 189 patients completed the questionnaire. Patients with oral cancer showed many symptoms during the progression and treatment of the disease. Serious symptoms included swallowing, chewing and speaking. Exploratory factor analysis revealed three symptom groups, namely, oral and throat symptom group, drowsiness-digestive tract symptom group, and fatigue-respiratory symptom group. The scores of different dimensions and the total scores of quality of life were negatively correlated with the total scores of the three symptom groups ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There are multiple symptom groups in patients with oral cancer during postoperative rehabilitation, which seriously affect their quality of life. Medical workers should grasp this characteristic, evaluate symptoms in time, actively manage symptom groups, and improve the quality of life of patients.
