摘要:Some common clinical research methods, used in the studies on diabetic nephropathy (DN) with Chinese medicine, were analyzed, such as randomized controlled trial (RCT), cohort study and cultural retrieve for difficult points in case reports. In RCT, because DN patients have multiple complicating diseases with large individual difference, homogeneity is difficult to ensure, the quality of Chinese medicinal placebo makes patients break blind and have a tendency of selective treatment, and TCM holistic concept and individualization principles in clinic affect the enclosing of patients, the results of RCT will be effected, bias will be produced, and credibility of the results will be influenced. In cohort study, the ability to control bias is limited because of the complexity of syndrome differentiation and treatment in DN patients. In case report research, the intervention of other therapies can not be controlled and the influences of natural disease course and outcomes can not be removed because of comprehensive treatment for DN. So the available evidences can not be provided for proving cause-and-effect relationship. When the research on DN with Chinese medicine applies evidence-based medicine, the influence of suitability of methodology on the research results should be paid attention to.

摘要:Objective To observe the curative effect of modified Didang Tang on microalbuminuria of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods The method of retrospective analysis was applied to collect the eligible DN patients from the outpatients treated by Professor TONG Xiao-lin in the Department of Endocrinology of our hospital. All patients were given decoction after syndrome differentiation. The changes of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), HbA1C, blood pressure and blood fat were observed before and after the treatment. The statistic method was used to process and analyze the data. Results after 3 and 6 months, UAER decreased significantly (P<0.01) and the total effective rate was, respectively, 92.1% and 90.5%. After 3 months the increase of HbA1C, systolic pressure and total cholesterol had statistical significance (P<0.05, P<0.01). The changes of other indexes had no statistical differences. Conclusion Modified Didang Tang can ameliorate microalbuminuria and reduce HbA1C, systolic pressure and total cholesterol in DN patients.
摘要:Objective To investigate the relationship between the circuit of year in prenatal period and morbidity of diabetic nephropathy (DN)a nd related risk factors in DN patients. Methods The information about circuit of year in their birth dates, complications and general demographic data were colleted from 436 patients with diabetes hospitalized in the Department of Nephrology of Dongzhimen Hospital. All patients were divided into DN group (n=277) and non-DN group (n=159) and given comparison. Results The risk factors of DN included hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), dyslipidemia and oldness (over 60) and the difference in their constituent ratio among all complication had significance (P<0.05). The circuit of year inducing possibly the increase of DN morbidity was the deficiency of Tu circuit. Conclusion The related risk factors of DN include hypertension, CHD, dyslipidemia and oldness (over 60), and the deficiency of Tu circuit. The morbidity of DN is correlated to the circuit of year in prenatal period.

摘要:Objective To observe the influences of moxa-smoke condensate on morphology and cytoactive of type Ⅱ pneumonocytes A549. Methods A546 cells were cultured in vitro and then moxa-smoke condensate in different concentration was added in the cells. The influences of moxa-smoke condensate on the morphology and cytoactive of A546 cells were observed by applying fluorescence microscope and MTT assay after 24 hours. Results The observation of fluorescence microscope showed that when the concentration of moxa-smoke condensate was in 0.05 g/L, the morphology of A546 cells had no changes basically, and when the concentration was higher than 0.05 g/L, the morphology changed gradually and the number decreased gradually showing a concentration-dependence. The results of MTT assay showed that, compared with control group, the cytoactive of A546 cells had no statistical difference when the concentration of moxa-smoke condensate was in 0.09 g/L (P=0.985), and had significant difference when the concentration was in 0.06 g/L and 0.12 mg/mL respectively (P=0.036, P=0.013). When the concentration was higher than 0.12 g/L, there was great significance (all P<0.01), and cytoactive of A546 cells had a gradual decreasing tendency showing a concentration-dependence. Conclusion Within 24-hour stimulating period, low-concentration moxa-smoke condensate may have no effect on A546 cells, and high-concentration of it has some toxic effect showing a significant concentration-dependence.
摘要:Objective To observe the influences of Kangxian Yifei Capsules on lung histopathological changes and serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. Methods Health Wistar rats (n=60) were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group, and high-dose, mid-dose and low-dose Kangxian Yifei Capsules groups (high-dose group, mid-dose group and low-dose group). The rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was established by tracheal instillation of bleomycin solution, and after 48 hours all groups were respectively given normal saline solution, prednisone suspension, and high-dose, mid-dose and low-dose Kangxian Yifei Capsules once a day for 28 days. The histomorphological changes of lung, lung coefficient, hydroxyproline (HYP) in lung tissue and serum TNF-α and TGF-β1 were observed and detected. Results Compared with model group, the histomorphological changes of lung were relieved significantly in all groups of Kangxian Yifei Capsules and positive control group. Along with the increase of dose of Kangxian Yifei Capsules, the degree of pulmonary fibrosis decreased. HYP, TNF-α and TGF-β1 were significantly lower in all groups of Kangxian Yifei Capsules than those in model group (P<0.05), which was more significant as the increases of dose. Compared with positive control group, HYP decreased significantly in high-dose group (P<0.05). Conclusion The inhibition of the expressions of TNF-α and TGF-β1 and collagen synthesis may be one of anti-fibrosis mechanisms of Kangxian Yifei Capsules.

摘要:Objective To observe the influences of electroacupuncture in different acupoints on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and glutathione (GSH) distributed in different viscera in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Wistar male rats (n=28) were divided into normal group, model group, Chize (LU5) group and Fenglong (ST40) group (each n=7). Except normal group, other groups were given tracheal instillation of LPS combining smoking method for establishing COPD model, and at the same time were given electroacupuncture once every other day for 12 times. When the test was finished, the samples were taken and homogenized, and the content of TNF-α in lung and intestines and the content of GSH in liver, spleen, lung and intestines were detected by using radioimmunoassay. Results The content of TNF-α in lung was higher than that in intestines in all groups, and increased significantly in normal group and ST40 group (P<0.05). Compared with normal group, the content of GSH in spleen increased significantly (P<0.05) and decreased significantly in intestines (P<0.05) in model group, and decreased significantly in ST40 group (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the content of GSH in spleen decreased significantly in LU5 group (P<0.05), decreased significantly in lung in ST40 group (P<0.05). The content of GSH in intestines and spleen was higher than that in lung and liver in normal group (P<0.01, P<0.05), and was higher in intestines than that in spleen (P<0.05). The content of GSH in spleen was higher than that in liver in model group (P<0.01), and was higher in intestines than that in lung and liver in LU5 group (P<0.05). The content of GSH in spleen and intestines was higher significantly than that in lung and liver in ST40 group (P<0.01). Conclusion Electroacupuncture in LU5 and ST40 can reduce the content of GSH in liver, spleen and lung, which is more significant in spleen during electroacupuncture in LU5 and more significant in lung during electroacupuncture in ST40. The pathological stimulation of COPD can induce the rank swap of the content of GSH in spleen and intestines. Electroacupuncture in LU5 can recover this rank change, and electroacupuncture in ST40 can not correct this rank chang.
摘要:Objective To investigate the best opportunity of electroacupuncture intervention and the meaning of urodynamics examination in patients with urinary retention after cervix cancer surgery. Methods The patients with urinary retention after cervix cancer surgery (n=58) were observed and divided into control group (without electroacupuncture, n=19), treatment group 1 (with electroacupuncture 8 days after surgery, n=19) and treatment group 2 (with electroacupuncture 15 days after surgery, n=20). A therapeutic course included 6 times of electroacupuncture once a day. The examinations of residual urine volume (RUV) and urodynamics were given to the patients respectively after the treatment and the patients were followed up. Results The reduction of RUV (ΔPVR) was, respectively in three groups, (127.68±134.45) mL, (367.58±227.58) mL and (235.20±170.25) mL (P<0.05). The total effective rate was, respectively in three groups, 15.79%, 63.16% and 45.00%. There was no statistical significance in the difference between treatment group 1 and control group and between treatment group 2 and control group. The average bearing time of urinary canal was, respectively in three groups, (42.11±24.88) days, (23.26±14.07) days and (30.80±12.65) days (P<0.05). The average flow rate, bladder capacity and detrusor pressure decreased in the patients before electroacupuncture and improve after the treatment. Conclusion The early intervention with electroacupuncture is good to recovering of bladder function, and the best opportunity is within 7 days after the surgery. The examination of urodynamics can help to judge the lesion degree of bladder after the surgery, predict curative effect and guide clinical practice.

摘要:Astronauts will have multiple adverse physiological and pathological reactions in weightlessness condition, and muscle atrophy is one of the most obvious changes manifesting as the reduction of muscle volume and weight, inability of limb lifting and so on. There are no the descriptions about corresponding disease in traditional TCM classics. According to the symptoms of muscle atrophy in weightlessness condition, we classify it into the category of fleshy wilting in wilting syndrome. Under the guide of holistic concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment and referring to the cognition on fleshy wilting by doctors in the past dynasties, we think that the main pathogenesis of muscle atrophy induced by weightlessness are spleen qi deficiency and lack of nutrition of muscle in early stage, and deficiency of spleen and kidney, and qi deficiency and blood stasis in later stage.
