OBJECTIVE

To assess the medication adherence reporting in clinical trials the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the impact factors of medication adherence.

METHODS

Reviewed and evaluated were all randomized clinical trials in the field of TCM in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus published in Chinese journals in 2012, in terms of their medication adherence, adherence measurement, and impacted factors of adherence.

RESULTS

Finally 124 studies were included. None studies reported the medication adherence. The factors impacting medication adherence couldn't be analyzed due to none reporting adherence.

CONCLUSION

Medication adherence reporting was poor in clinical trials in TCM research. Establishing standards for adherence assessment and reporting may be one of the important steps to improve the quality of clinical studies.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To assess the antioxidant capacity of aqueous extracts of buds and flowers of Lonicera japonica Thunb. (BLJ and FLJ) using in vitro assays.

METHODS

We assessed the in vitro antioxidant activities of aqueous extracts of BLJ and FLJ and compared with that of classical antioxidants vitamin C and butylated hydroxytoluene, using several well-established methods including the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl assay, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay, reducing power assay, fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching assay, β-carotene bleaching assay, ferric thiocyanate assay, and thiobarbituric acid method.

RESULTS

The aqueous extracts of both BLJ and FLJ had similarly potent antioxidant capacity. There were no significance differences between BLJ and FLJ in all the assays.

CONCLUSION

The aqueous extracts of both BLJ and FLJ have antioxidant activity with comparable efficacy. These findings suggest that both BLJ and FLJ may have the potential as natural antioxidants.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To examine and describe the use of Western and Chinese Medicine for pregnancy preparation among women with breast cancer after cancer-related treatment in Taiwan.

METHODS

Women of reproductive age (20-49 years) women who were treated for breast cancer from January 2011 through June 2015 in a Taiwanese city participated in the study. Of 306 eligible study participants, interviews were completed in 197 (64%). Participants were asked about sociode-mographic variables, disease and treatment characteristics, their desire for fertility, and their use of Western or Chinese Medicine.

RESULTS

The proportions of women who planned to use Western or Chinese Medicine to help achieve pregnancy were 17.3% and 14.7%, respectively. The result of binary logistic regression showed that current employment and lack of children were factors predictive of the use of Western Medicine. Younger age and the use of Chinese Medicine before treatment were predictors of using Chinese Medicine. While the desire for fertility preservation was related to the use of Western Medicine, the desire for pregnancy was related to the use of Chinese Medicine.

CONCLUSION

Various characteristics guided the women's decisions to use Western or Chinese Medicine. Health care providers should learn patients' preferences for fertility preservation and provide appropriate advice, referring them to safe providers of their desired method of fertility treatment.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gandouling plus sodium dimercaptosulphonate (DMPS) on neurological Wilson's disease (WD) in patients.

METHODS

We retrospectively evaluated the clinical records of 125 WD patients with neurological syndromes who were treated with gandouling plus sodium DMPS or DMPS used alone. All patients had a history of neurological deterioration during their diseases courses. The clinical efficacies, adverse reactions, and results of the various hematological and biochemical investigations were recorded for statistical analysis.

RESULTS

92.30% (60 patients) of the WD patients treated with the combined therapy experienced an improved or stable neurological condition paralleled by a significantly improved GAS score. Meanwhile, the WBC and PLT counts stabilized, liver function and renal function were improved or remained stable. The combined therapy also obviously promoted the 24-h urinary copper excretion. In particular, only 30.76% of the WD patients experienced mild adverse reactions, including neurological deterioration in 5 patients (7.69%), hepatic worsening in 1 subject (1.89%), which was less frequently than those in the control group treated with DMPS only.

CONCLUSION

Our findings indicate that the safety and efficacy of gandou-ling plus DMPS is superior to those of DMPS used alone in the WD patients with neurological symptoms.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Shenmai injection for shock.

METHODS

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the therapeutic effect of Shenmai injection on shock (including septic shock, cardiogenic shock, hypovolemic shock, neurogenic shock and anaphylactic shock) were included in this analysis. The major electronic databases were searched until May 2015. The methodological quality of the trials was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook. Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 12.0 software were applied for data analysis.

RESULTS

Thirty RCTs involving 2038 participants were included. The methodological quality of the trials was generally passable. The combined use of Shenmai injection and conventional medicine was significantly more effective at managing shock compared to conventional medicine alone in the outcomes of total effective rate [risk ratio (RR) 1.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18 to 1.31] and mortality rate [risk difference (RD) – 0.10, 95% CI – 0.17 to – 0.02]. Likewise, improvements were observed in other metrics. Three trials reported adverse events, but no trial reported serious adverse effects.

CONCLUSION

Our results indicated the potential effectiveness of Shenmai injection combined with conventional medicine treatment for shock. However, further rigorously designed trials are needed to collect and weigh up all the evidence for the use of Shenmai injection.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the safety of Oroxylumindicum(L.) Vent extract administered for 26 weeks in Wistar rats.

METHODS

Oroxylumindicum (L.) Vent extract was administrated to male and female rats by gavage once daily at doses of 54, 225, and450 mg ? kg?1 ? d?1. The rats were sacrificed after administration for13 weeks and 26 weeks. Part of the rats in each group were allowed to recover for 4 weeks after 26-week administration. Systematic examinations including haematology, urology, blood biochemistry and histomorphology were performed at the end of 13, 26 weeks of administration and 4 weeks of recovery.

RESULTS

No treatment related adverse effect shappened on rats'general status, body weight, food consumption, urinary index and histomorphology examination. Although during the administration, in some rats of extract's groups, the value of Red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell counts (WBC), hemoglobin (HGB), haematocrit (HCT) and K iron were decreased, and biochemistry index, such as glucose (GLU), triglyceride (TG), alanine transaminase (ALT) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) were increased, the above parameters were within the normal ranges and all returned to baseline after the drug stopping for 4 weeks.

CONCLUSION

The administration of Oroxylumindicum(L.) Vent extractat levers up to 450 mg/kg (equals to 75 times of clinical dose) is well tolerated-for both genders without significant toxicity within the administration duration in this study.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the anti-platelet aggregation effects of extracts from 31 Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) with the property of activating blood and resolving stasis in terms of TCM theory.

METHODS

The 31 TCMs extracts were prepared using water, 90% ethanol and ethyl acetate., and the effects on anti-platelet aggregation were tested on a platelet aggregation analyzer in vitro with adenosine 5'-diphosphate, bovine thrombin and arachidonic acid (AA) as aggregation inducers, respectively. Aspirin was the positive control.

RESULTS

Lots of the tested TCMs had inhibitory effects with concentration-dependent manner on platelet aggregations induced by various agonists. Especially, some of the TCMs such as Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Yanhusuo (Rhizoma Corydalis Yanhusuo) and Danshen (Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae) showed good anti-platelet aggregation effect similar or higher than that in positive control group.

CONCLUSION

The study provided scientific references that several TCMs such as Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Yanhusuo (Rhizoma Corydalis Yanhusuo) and Danshen (Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae), possess the property of anti-platelet aggregation.  相似文献

Objective

To examine the influence of cupping on the quality of life of healthy people who referred to traditional Persian medicine clinics in Tehran.

Methods

All participants were examined by Traditional Persian Medicine specialists and their temperaments were determined. The area between the shoulders was cleaned, and cupping was performed with a disposable cupping glass for a few minutes. The questionnaire used in this project was the Persian version of the SF-36 questionnaire which assesses people's understanding of their health status. Before cupping and then one month after cupping, all participants were called and the questionnaires were completed again. Finally, all given data was analyzed.

Results

From a total of 290 questionnaires completed in the first phase of the project, 112 patients were excluded. Ultimately, the data of 178 participants was analyzed. After one month, the quality of life score of 155 participants (88%) increased, remained unchanged for 21 participants (11.7%), and decreased for 2 participants (1.1%). Asked about possible complications from cupping, 160 participants reported no side effects (89.9%).

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that cupping therapy can improve the scores of quality of life in the participants in Tehran.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the medical outcome study human immunodeficiency virus (MOS-HIV) health survey among people living with HIV or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) in Iran is our main goal in this study.

Methods

The MOS-HIV questionnaire was translated into Persian using backward translation and the Persian version was filled by 100 HIV infected patients. Reliability of the questionnaire was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total questionnaire and for each dimension. Convergent, discriminant and construct validity were performed. Comparisons were performed between the subscales of the questionnaire in Iran and some other countries with t-test.

Results

The overall Cronbach's alpha in this study was 0.90 and the range of this coefficient was from 0.71 to 0.86 across the subscales with two exceptions, general health perception and role functioning, which were at 0.65 and 0.61. Convergent and discriminant validity were excellent in all domains. The two factor confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit based on standardized estimates of factor loading, incremental and absolute fit indices.

Conclusion

The Persian version of the MOS-HIV had good reliability and validity in measuring health related quality of life in people living with HIV in Iran. Furthermore, quality of life for HIV infected patients was very low in comparing with the people in some other countries.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To observe the effects of Fuxin decoction in rats with heart failure induced by doxorubicin injections.

METHODS

We employed a doxorubicin-induced heart failure model to investigate the effect of Fuxin decoction. Rats were orally administered with Fuxin decoction from 10 to 40 mg/kg. Organization structure changes were assessed by histology, circulating levels of oxidative stress-related biomarkers and inflammatory cytokines were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

RESULTS

Administration of Fuxin decoction improved the growth retardation in doxorubicin hydrochloride injection rats. Cardiac involvement was alleviated by Fuxin decoction, as well as changes of congestion systemic circulation in this rat models. Furthermore, Fuxin decoction regulates immune responses and suppresses oxidation reaction in doxorubicin hydrochloride-induced rats.

CONCLUSION

Fuxin decoction might be an interesting candidate for congestive heart failure.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effect and safety of Gandouling plus low-dose D-penicillamine for treating patients with Wilson's disease (WD) who have neurological symptoms.

METHODS

WD patients with neurological symptoms were divided into two groups: a treatment group (n = 53) and a control group (n = 50). The treatment group received anti-copper therapy with a combination of Gandouling and low-dose D-penicillamine (10 mg/kg), whereas the control group was with conventional dose D-penicillamine (20 mg/kg) monotherapy. The clinical efficacies, adverse reactions, and results of the various hematological and biochemical investigations were recorded and analyzed statistically.

RESULTS

Overall, 98.11% of the WD patients treated with the combined therapy experienced alleviation of their neurological condition (paralleled by a significantly improved Global Assessment Scale score or remained stable). Their white blood cell and platelet counts stabilized, and their liver function was improved or remained stable. The combined therapy also obviously promoted improved 24-h urinary copper excretion. Only 15.09% of the WD patients with the combined therapy experienced adverse reactions, including neurological deterioration in one case (1.89%) and hepatic worsening in one case (1.89%), which was less frequent than that in the control group given conventional-dose D-penicillamine monotherapy.

CONCLUSION

Treating WD patients with neurological symptoms using Gandouling plus low-dose D-penicillamine is effective and safe.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To investigate changes in gene expression profiles in the hypothalamus related to the effects of acupuncture at the Renying (ST 9) acupoint in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats.

METHODS

We randomly divided 18 SH rats into Renying (ST 9) group and model control group, 9 body weight-matched Wistar-Kyoto rats were used as blank controls. Acupuncture was performed manually for 20-min daily over 28 d in the Renying (ST 9) group. Rat Gene 2.0 array technology was used for the determination of gene expression profiles and the screened key genes were verified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses.

RESULTS

The different groups exhibited differential gene expression: compared with the blank control group, 48 genes were up-regulated and 91 genes were down-regulated in the model group; compared with the model group, 79 genes were up-regulated and 80 genes were down-regulated in Renying (ST 9) group. The RT-PCR results of the key genes including Chi3l1, Ephx2, Klk1, 5-HT1A and Cbs were consistent with that of gene chip analysis.

CONCLUTION

Acupuncture at Renying (ST 9) could significantly lower the blood pressure of SH rats and affect their hypothalamic gene expression profile. Genes associated with the contraction of vascular smooth muscle and the regulation of inflammation, neurotransmitters may be involved in acupuncture's antihypertensive mechanism.  相似文献

Objective

To assess the efficacy and safety in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) of Western medication plus Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) preparations.

Methods

This prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled, and multicenter clinical trial began on September 17, 2008, and was completed on June 25, 2011. A total of 340 inpatients, aged 40–79 years, with exacerbating CHF from 10 hospitals were enrolled and randomly allocated within 24 h of admission. The trial included three intervention periods. During hospitalization, the control group received western medication for CHF and the treatment group received Danhong injection with Shenfu injection or Shenmai injection. After discharge, all patients were treated with Qiliqiangxin capsules and Buyiqiangxin tablets or a placebo for 6 months. After the 6-month intervention, both groups received only continuous western medication. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The efficacy assessments were as follows: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), Lee's HF score, the 6-minute walking test (6MWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). The safety assessments were as follows: blood and urine routine examination, hepatic and renal function, electrolytes in blood and adverse events.

Results

Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed a 30.99% reduction in all-cause mortality and an improved survival rate. The treatment group showed greater improvement in 6MWT (P = 0.02) than the control group on discharge, after 12-month follow-up, there was a time-group interaction for MLHFQ (P = 0.03). Incidence rate of adverse events and other relevant safety indexes were not statistically significant between the two groups.

Conclusion

Western medication plus TCM treatment can increase 6-minute walking distance (improve exercise tolerance) and quality of life with heart failure patients.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE

To undertake a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the effectiveness among the different regimens of Salvia miltiorrhiza injection classes (SMICs) for unstable angina pectoris (UAP) treatment.

METHODS

A systematic retrieval was conducted in several literature databases to identify randomized controlled trials focusing on the different regimens of SMICs for UAP treatment until January 2016. The quality assessment was accomplished according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Pair-wise meta-analyses were carried out by RevMan 5.3. A random-effects model of NMA was used to compare the different regimens of SMICs with regard to efficacy by STATA 13.0.

RESULTS

A total of 111 studies involving 10 500 patients were included in the NMA. The methodological quality of included studies was not high. Current evidence shows that salvianolate (SI) is the optimal treatment for UAP in improving the total efficacy against UAP. Guanxingning (GXN) is the optimal treatment for UAP for improving the total effectiveness of electrocardiography.

CONCLUSION

SMICs have advantages in preventing cardiovascular events. GXN, SI, and Danhong had the greatest probability of being the best treatment in the total efficacy against UAP and for improving the total effectiveness of electrocardiography.  相似文献

Objective

The current study aims to investigate the effect of Hemagglutinating virus of Japan envelope (HVJ-E) on induction of apoptosis and autophagy in human prostate cancer PC3 cells, and the underlying mechanisms.

Methods

PC3 cells were treated with HVJ-E at various multiplicity of infection (MOI), and the generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell viability, apoptosis, and autophagy were detected, respectively. Next, the role of ROS played in the regulation of HVJ-E-induced apoptosis and autuphagy in PC3 cells were analysed. In the end, the relationship between HVJ-E-induced apoptosis and autuophagy was investigated by using rapamycin and chloroquine.

Results

Flow cytometry assay revealed that HVJ-E treatment induced dose-dependent apoptosis and that the JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways were involved in HVJ-E-induced apoptosis in PC3 cells. In addition, HVJ-E was able to induce autophagy in PC3 cells via the class III PI3K/beclin-1 pathway. The data also implyed that HVJ-E-triggered autophagy and apoptosis were ROS dependent. When ROS was blocked with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), HVJ-E-induced LC3-II conversion and apoptosis were reversed. Interestingly, HVJ-E-induced apoptosis was significantly increased by an inducer of autophagy, rapamycin pretreatment, both in vitro and in vivo.

Conclusion

HVJ-E exerts anticancer effects via autophagic cell death in prostate cancer cells.  相似文献

Objective To investigate the current enteral feeding practices in hospitalized late preterm infants in the Beijing area of China. Methods A multi-center, cross-sectional study was conducted. Infants born after 34 weeks and before 37 weeks of gestation were enrolled from 25 hospitals in the Beijing area of China from October 2015 to October 2017. Data on enteral feeding practices were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 1,463 late preterm infants were enrolled, with a mean gestational age(GA) of 35.6(34.9, 36.1) weeks. The percentage of exclusive breastfeeding was 4.5% at the initiation of enteral feeding but increased to 14.4% at discharge. When human milk was not available, most infants(46.1%) were fed with preterm infant formula. The rate of exclusive human milk feeding in infants born at 34 weeks gestation was higher than at discharge(21.1% of infants born at 34 weeks' GA versus 12.1% of infants born at 35 weeks' GA versus 12.3% of infants born at 36 weeks' GA, P 0.001). Only 28.4% of late preterm infants achieved full enteral feeding at discharge, and only 19.2% achieved 120 kcal/(kg·d) by enteral feeding at discharge. Importantly, 40.5% of infants did not regain the birth weight at discharge. Conclusion Enteral feeding support of late preterm infants has not been standardized to achieve optimal growth. Moreover, the human milk feeding rate was low, and many late preterm infants did not achieve the goal of enteral feeding and failed to regain birth weight at the time of discharge. More aggressive enteral feedings protocols are needed to promote human milk feeding and optimize growth for late preterm infants.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine formula HB01 on exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients who received HB01 for 6 months by analyzing relative indexes.

Methods

From July 2006 to August 2015, 139 eligible exudative AMD patients (183 eyes) were enrolled into this study and received aqueous extract from herbs of HB01 by oral twice a day (100 mL for once) for 6 months. The best corrected visual acuity, center macular thickness (CMT), hemorrhage area, fluorescein leakage area as the main outcomes were estimated and compared before and after treatment.

Results

After 3 and 6 months of treatment, visual acuity obtained a greater improvement (P < 0.01). After 1, 3 and 6 months of treatment, CMT obviously decreased (P < 0.05). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the hemorrhage area and fluorescein leakage area also significantly narrowed (P < 0.01). During treatment, no significant adverse events relating to HB01 treatment were elucidated.

Conclusion

On the basis of these results, HB01 could improve visual acuity, and reduce hemorrhage and fluorescein leakage of patients with exudative AMD, which may be an effective alternative and supportive treatment for exudative AMD.  相似文献
