Journal of Integrative Medicine 2009;7(1):1-8
Analysis of the nature, tastes, channel distributions and effects of the frequently used herbal medicines in the prescriptions involved in the clinical literatures about treatment of gastric cancer published from 1988 to 2007 was made in the paper. The literatures were categorized into three types: 1) treatment of middle- and late-stage gastric cancer; 2) prevention and treatment of the recurrence and metastasis after operation; 3) Chinese herbal medicines combined with chemotherapy for enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity. The most frequently used herbal medicines in the three literature types were qi-invigorating herbs, such as Atractylodes, Astragalus, Codonopsis, Glycyrrhiza and Ginseng, etc. The herbal medicines for promoting urination to subside swelling such as tuckahoe and Semen Coicis, etc were used more frequently than the herbal medicines for regulating qi such as dried orange peel and putchuck, etc, as well as for clearing away heat to remove toxin such as spreading hedyotis herb, Herba Scutellariae Barbatae, yangtao actinidia root, and Rhizoma Paridis, etc. From another angle, the most frequently used herbal medicines for the treatment of gatric cancer were those cold, warm and neutral in nature, sweet, bitter and pungent in taste, and distributed to spleen and liver channels.

Clinical Medicine of China 2008;24(4):297-298
Objective To compare the renal effects of dopamine and dobutamine in patients with sepsis.Methods 90 patients with sepsis were admitted to this study.After resuscitation,each patient was randomly given different vasoactive agent.The changes in urine output,fractional excretion of sodium(FeNa),and creatinine clearance(CCr)were observed.Results The urine output and FeNa in dopamine group were increased significantly as compared with control group and dobutamine group[(3072±480),(2038±515)and(362±522)ml/24h,(3.80±1.09),(2.06±1.14)and(2.10±0.95)%](P<0.05).Compared with control group and dopamine group,CCr increased significantly in dobutamine group[(79.2±39.1),(50.6±21.8)and(47.4±16.7)ml/min](P<0.05).Conclusion Dopamine infusion markedly elevates urine output and FeNa,but has no effect on CCr.Dobutamine treatment misht significantly increase CCr,but has no effect on urine output.
10.Influences of the activated protein C resistance on the function of coagulation and anticoagulation in the elderly with thrombotic diseases
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2001;20(2):100-102
Objective Influence of the function of coagulation and anticoagulation in the elderly patients with thrombotic diseases by activated protein C resistance(APCR) was studied. Methods Prothrombin fragments 1 and 2 (F1+2),fibrinopeptide A (FPA),soluble fibrin monomer complex(SFMC) were examined by enzyme linked immunoassay(ELISA); fibrinogen(FIB),antithrombin III antigen(AT-Ⅲ:Ag) and its activity(AT-Ⅲ:A), protein C antigen(PC:Ag) and its activity(PC:A) and APCR were determined using CA 530 blood coagulation analyzer. Results Compared the elderly patient group with thrombotic diseases with the healthy elderly group, the parameters of coagulation system were obviously increased 〔F1+2(5.4±0.6)nmol/L vs (2.6±1.3)nmol/L,FPA (6.9±1.9)μg/L vs (4.8±2.3)μg/L,SFMC (72.4±8.7)g/L, vs (56.3±11.7)g/L,FIB (5.18±0.68)g/L vs (3.82±0.74)g/L〕 and that of the anticoagulation system was significantly decreased〔AT-Ⅲ:Ag (212±19)mg/L vs (255±26)mg/L,PC:Ag (63.5±9.2)mg/L vs (82.7±20.1)mg/L〕.The above parameters changed more obviously in the elderly patients with positive APCR than those elderly patients with normal APCR. Conclusions APCR accelerated the activation of coagulation system and led to the weakening of the anticoagulation system function in the elderly patients with thrombotic diseases. The positive APCR may be one of the risk factors in the elderly patients who suffered from thrombosis.
