徐经世国医大师扶正祛邪治疗肝癌经验总结

国医大师徐经世教授在60余年的临床实践中总结提出肝癌的病机为正虚为本,邪实为标;早期多表现为正虚邪实,木旺土虚;病延日久累及下元,则出现水不涵木的病理表现。正虚是该病的病机关键,治疗应遵循“扶正祛邪,分期论治”的治疗原则,病初应“调和中州,培土达木”为主,病至后期则累及下元,治疗则应“滋水涵木,濡养下元”;同时强调饮食生活起居和情志调护,做到精神内守,从而使邪去正安。     

Non-invasive assessment of cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics using phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging in communicating hydrocephalus

This work aims to evaluate the changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics in patients diagnosed with communicating hydrocephalus. Besides, we establish the relationship between CSF flow dynamic parameters on the midbrain aqueduct and intracranial pressure (ICP). CSF hydrodynamics analysis was performed using Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PC‐MRI) techniques on the midbrain aqueduct of 41 patients diagnosed with communicating hydrocephalus and 22 healthy volunteers. The correlation between CSF average flow in the midbrain aqueduct and intracranial pressure measured by Lumbar Puncture (LP) was assessed in patients with hydrocephalus. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to establish the correction between the average CSF flow of midbrain aqueduct and ICP. CSF dynamic parameters of the midbrain aqueduct in hydrocephalus patients, including peak positive velocity (7.348 cm/s), average velocity (0.623 cm/s), average flow (50.799 mm³/s), and regions of interest (ROI) area (9.978 mm²) were significantly higher than in the healthy controls (p < 0.05). This was after adjusting the age, gender, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index. However, only the peak negative velocity of the midbrain aqueduct did not significantly differ between the groups (p = 0.209). A positive correlation was noted between the average flow (AF) of the midbrain aqueducts and ICP in hydrocephalus patients (y (AF) = 0.386× (ICP)−33.738, r = 0.787, p < 0.05). Reference data of CSF flow dynamic parameters was obtained through the PC-MRI in middle-aged healthy volunteers and communicating hydrocephalus patients. Although the sample size was constrained, this study has significant contributions. For instance, a significant correlation was noted between the average CSF flow of the aqueduct and ICP. This therefore provides a reference for clinicians to monitor ICP in patients with hydrocephalus.     

外泌体:肝纤维化中药调控新靶标

肝纤维化是慢性肝病的早期阶段,肝纤维化的早期诊断和治疗是医学界研究的热点。随着对外泌体研究工作的不断深入,越来越多研究证实外泌体与肝纤维化的关系密切。外泌体作为细胞通讯间的重要物质,通过靶向传递活性物质到靶细胞体调节细胞功能。在肝脏中,肝实质和非实质细胞可以将外泌体靶向传递的活性物质释放到邻近的肝细胞或非实质细胞中以调节肝损伤后的肝脏重塑。作者团队以肝纤维化为研究目标,以外泌体为导向,以期为中医药调节外泌体靶向治疗肝纤维化提供了理论基础。     

八段锦对2型糖尿病临床疗效Meta分析

目的:系统评价八段锦对2型糖尿病患者的临床治疗效果。方法:对中国知网、万方、维普、PubMed等4个数据库的文献进行检索,寻找与八段锦治疗2型糖尿病有关的随机对照实验的文献,检索范围设定数据库建库以来至2020年5月的所有中英文文献,事先设置好文献的检索词,并制定最终要纳入文献的标准以及文献的排除标准,使用Cochrane网提供的RevMan5.3软件进行分析。结果最终纳入符合标准的随机对照临床试验文献10篇,共有813例2型糖尿病患者,其中实验组406例,对照组407例。Meta分析显示:与常规治疗相比,加用八段锦治疗对于2型糖尿病患者的临床治疗效果更加显著,但受纳入研究文献的数量及质量影响,尚需要更多的临床证据。     

丹蛭降糖胶囊联合针灸治疗早期糖尿病肾病临床观察

目的:观察丹蛭降糖胶囊联合针灸治疗早期糖尿病肾病的疗效。方法选取了2018年1月-2019午6月安徽省中医院内分泌科40例确诊的早期糖尿病肾病患者,将他们随机分为研究组和对照组,各20例。对照组采用单一的丹蛭降糖胶囊治疗,治疗组在对照组治疗的基础上联合针灸治疗。治疗周期为8周,而后比较两组的治疗效果。结果:经过对比两组患者的疗效指标发现,治疗组的总有效率和中医证候疗效治疗效果和总有效率均优于对照组(P<0.01):与对照组比较,治疗组血糖指标FPG、2hPG及HbA1c下降(P<0.01);尿蛋白指标也有一定的下降。结论:针灸能够提升丹蛭降糖胶囊治疗早期糖尿病肾病的疗效。     

从“柔肝熄风”理论分析抗颤止痉胶囊改善帕金森病运动症状的机制

柔肝熄风即滋阴养血柔肝而止痉熄风,治疗肝阴血虚动风证,是中医治风法之一。静止性震颤、肌僵直均为帕金森病患者肌张力改变的典型表现,临床上抗颤止痉胶囊在帕金森病运动症状改善中具有确切疗效。作者从柔肝熄风理论分析抗颤止痉胶囊中的理法方药,探讨论证抗颤止痉胶囊对帕金森病静止性震颤、肌僵直等症状的治疗作用机制。     

通络汤对慢性盆腔炎大鼠T细胞亚群和血液流变学的影响

目的:探讨通络汤对慢性盆腔炎(chronic pelvic inflammatory disease,CPID)模型大鼠T细胞亚群及血液流变学的影响。方法:将大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、通络汤低剂量组、中剂量组、高剂量组、桂枝茯苓胶囊组,除正常组外,其余组于两侧输卵管缓慢注射25%苯酚胶浆0.02m L造模,造模后正常饲养10d,除正常组给予等量生理盐水外,其余组给药相应的药物,每日1次,连续灌胃15d。末次给药12h后,处死大鼠,检测血液CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞(Treg)数量百分比及血液流变学指标。结果:通络汤中、高剂量组不仅能明显降低模型大鼠异常升高的CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞数量百分比(P0.05或P0.01),还能明显改善血液流变学相关指标(P0.05或P0.01)。结论:通络汤对化学性灼伤性CPID模型大鼠有一定的保护作用,其中以通络汤中、高剂量组最为显著,其机制可能与改善大鼠免疫功能及改善大鼠的血液流变性有关。
