Objective To study the bacteriological characteristics and the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) on eczema and atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods A multi-center randomized, double blind bacteriological study on the lesions and non-lesional skin of patients with eczema (207) and AD (119) were carried out. The antibiotic sensitivity and the bacteriophage typing were performed on all the S. aureus isolated from the patients. Results There were statistical differences in the positive rate of the culture, the ratio and the colonization of S. aureus between the lesion and the non-lesional skin in eczema (P

Objective:To investigate the curative effects of Shugan Hewei Zhitong Recipe on chronic gastritis complicated by Helicobacter pylori infection. Methods:Eighty-seven patients with chronic gastritis complicated by Helicobacter pylori infection who received treatment in the Huguosi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, China from July 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo treatment with either conventional Western medicine ( n = 43, control group) or Shugan Hewei Zhitong Recipe based on conventional Western medicine ( n = 44, observation group) for 2 weeks. Before and after treatment, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores were compared between the two groups. Curative effects of Shugan Hewei Zhitong Recipe on chronic gastritis complicated by Helicobacter pylori infection were evaluated. Results:Total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [91% (40/44) vs. 72% (31/43), χ2 = 5.13, P = 0.024]. In each group, the traditional Chinese medicine symptom score post-treatment was significantly lower than the traditional Chinese medicine symptom score pre-treatment (both P < 0.001). After treatment, the traditional Chinese medicine score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P < 0.05). There were no adverse reactions in each group. Conclusion:Shugan Hewei Zhitong Recipe is safe and effective on chronic gastritis complicated by Helicobacter pylori infection, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
