ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) chronic disease management programme in preventing postoperative recurrence of colorectal polyps. MethodsThe clinical data of 447 postoperative colorectal polyp patients were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into an exposure group and a control group taking the acceptance of TCM chronic disease management programme as exposure factor, and the polyp recurrence rate as the main outcome indicator, comparing the differences in baseline characteristics, outcome events, and safety assessment between the two groups, and conducting correlation analysis between the length of medication and polyp recurrence. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyse the effects of receiving the TCM chronic disease management programme (TCM treatment and life management for spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome, dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome, and intestinal dampness and heat syndrome), gender, age, co-morbidities, TCM syndrome, and dietary and exercise factors on the outcome events. ResultsAmong 257 postoperative patients with colorectal polyps, there were 172 in the exposure group and 85 in control group. The recurrence rate of polyps in exposure group was 22.7% (39/172), while the recurrence rate in control group was 57.6% (49/85), and the difference between groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). The diameter of recurrent polyps in exposure group (median= 4.0 mm) was smaller than that in control group (median= 5.0 mm, P<0.01). The correlation analysis between the duration of medication taking and the recurrence of polyps in the spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome group showed Phi value as -0.345 (P<0.001); the correlation analysis within the group of dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome showed Phi value as -0.361 (P<0.05), indicating a negative correlation between the duration of medication taking and polyp recurrence. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the positive effect of accepting TCM chronic disease management programme on preventing polyp recurrence is statistically significant (OR=0.224, P<0.01). ConclusionAccepting TCM chronic disease management programme for colorectal polyps can help reducing the recurrence rate after polyp surgery, which is a protective factor for patients to the outcome event.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to analyze the current status of outcome indicators in randomized controlled trials (RCT) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), so as to provide references for constructing the core outcome set (COS) of TCM in the treatment of CAG. MethodChina National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for RCTs of TCM in the treatment of CAG in the last five years. The risk of bias of included studies was evaluated, and the selection status of outcome indicators was statistically analyzed. ResultA total of 150 RCTs were included, with a sample size of 44-398 cases. 164 outcome indicators were reported, with an application frequency of 1 229 times. The outcome indicators were classified into seven indicator domains according to functional attributes, followed by physical and chemical examination (69.41%), TCM syndrome (12.69%), symptoms and signs (11.15%), safety indicators (5.37%), quality of life (0.65%), long-term prognosis (0.65%), and economic evaluation (0.08%). According to the statistical analysis, there were problems in the selection of outcome indicators in RCTs of TCM for treating CAG, including various indicators, non-standard name reports, unclear primary and secondary indicators, random combination of subjective and objective indicators, neglected patient report outcome indicators, missing long-term prognosis and economic indicators, insufficient reporting of safety indicators, and inconsistent measurement tools and measurement time points. ConclusionIn the past five years, there have been many problems in the selection of outcome indicators in RCTs of TCM for treating CAG. It is necessary to actively promote the construction of the COS of TCM in the treatment of CAG and promote the high-quality development of clinical research of TCM.

BACKGROUND:
Given the general unavailability, common adverse effects, and complicated administration of tetracycline, the clinical application of classic bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) is greatly limited. Whether minocycline can replace tetracycline for Helicobacter pylori ( H . pylori ) eradication is unknown. We aimed to compare the eradication rate, safety, and compliance between minocycline- and tetracycline-containing BQT as first-line regimens.
METHODS:
This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 434 naïve patients with H . pylori infection. The participants were randomly assigned to 14-day minocycline-containing BQT group (bismuth potassium citrate 110 mg q.i.d., esomeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., metronidazole 400 mg q.i.d., and minocycline 100 mg b.i.d.) and tetracycline-containing BQT group (bismuth potassium citrate/esomeprazole/metronidazole with doses same as above and tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d.). Safety and compliance were assessed within 3 days after eradication. Urea breath test was performed at 4-8 weeks after eradication to evaluate outcome. We used a noninferiority test to compare the eradication rates of the two groups. The intergroup differences were evaluated using Pearson chi-squared or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Student's t -test for continuous variables.
RESULTS:
As for the eradication rates of minocycline- and tetracycline-containing BQT, the results of both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses showed that the difference rate of lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) was >-10.0% (ITT analysis: 181/217 [83.4%] vs . 180/217 [82.9%], with a rate difference of 0.5% [-6.9% to 7.9%]; PP analysis: 177/193 [91.7%] vs . 176/191 [92.1%], with a rate difference of -0.4% [-5.6% to 6.4%]). Except for dizziness more common (35/215 [16.3%] vs . 13/214 [6.1%], P = 0.001) in minocycline-containing therapy groups, the incidences of adverse events (75/215 [34.9%] vs . 88/214 [41.1%]) and compliance (195/215 [90.7%] vs . 192/214 [89.7%]) were similar between the two groups.
CONCLUSION:
The eradication efficacy of minocycline-containing BQT was noninferior to tetracycline-containing BQT as first-line regimen for H . pylori eradication with similar safety and compliance.

Objective To observe the effects of hedysari polysaccharide (HPS) on myocardial fibrosis and the expression of MMP-2/TIMP-2 in model mice of diabetic cardiomyopathy; To discuss the mechanism of action of prevention and treatment of myocardial fibrosis in diabetes.Methods Sixty mice were randomly divided into model group, rosiglitazone group and HPS high-, mediume- and low-dose groups. The normal group was 12 non-transgenic male BKS.Cg-Dock7m+/+Leprdb/JNjumice with the same age. Each group was given relevant medicine for gavage, for 8 weeks. Blood glucose of mice before and after medication 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks was detected. The levels of MMP-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in myocardium were measured by Masson staining. The protein expressions of MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in myocardium were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, the blood glucose of HPS (high- and medium dose) groups and rosiglitazone group decreased significantly. Masson staining showed that the green fibers in the model group significantly increased and rosiglitazone group and HPS high-dose group decreased compared with the model group. Western blot showed that the expressions of MMP-2 in model group and MMP-2/TIMP-2 ratio were declined significantly, while the expression of MMP-2 was increased and TIMP-2 was decreased significantly, and the ratio of MMP-2/TIMP-2 increased in rosiglitazone group and HPS high- and medium-dose group.Conclusion HPS may reduce the degree of myocardial fibrosis in model mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy. The therapeutic effect of HPS may be to relieve myocardial fibrosis in model mice by increasing the ratio of MMP-2/TIMP-2.

Objective To investigate the effect of low dose Dexmedetomidine on gastrointestinal reaction after minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer. Methods 94 patients with cervical cancer treated with minimally invasive surgery from February 2014 to September 2016 were selected. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into observation group (low-dose Dexmedetomidine) and control group (saline). The incidence of nausea and vomiting, the motilin level were compared between the two groups. Results The observation group was 47 cases, grade Ⅱ nausea in 7 cases, grade Ⅲ nausea in 2 cases, the total incidence was 19.15%; 47 cases in the control group, 11 cases of grade Ⅱ nausea, grade Ⅳ nausea in 4 cases, grade 2 nausea in 2 cases, the rate was 36.17%, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). 47 cases of grade Ⅱ vomiting in 4 cases, grade Ⅲ vomiting in 5 cases, grade Ⅳ vomiting in 1 case, the total incidence rate was 14.89%, grade Ⅱin 4 case, grade Ⅲ vomiting in 5 cases, grade Ⅳ vomiting in 1 case, the total incidence was 21.28%, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in motilin level between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after operation, the levels of motilin in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Low dose Dexmedetomidine can effectively prevent and alleviate the gastrointestinal reaction after minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer, and avoid the excessive release of motilin, worthy of clinical promoting.
