Efficacy and safety of herbal medicines for idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a systematic review.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines (HMs), as a monotherapy or adjunct therapy, compared to placebo or conventional approaches in the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials from both conventional and alternative medicine sources. Outcome measures were overall improvement, quality of life, reduction of levodopa dose, and adverse events. Nine studies were included, each testing a different HM. Six of the trials had limited internal validity due to major flaws in design, including the lack of proper randomization; insufficient blinding; unclear inclusive criteria in terms of diagnostic criteria, baseline staging, and duration of disease; lack of proper sample size calculation; and insufficient data analysis. Imbalances in gender and ethnicity among the patients in the included trials were observed. No major adverse events emerged, and no specific pattern was detected from the trials describing such data. In addition to major methodological defects, heterogeneity in (1) HM tested, (2) control treatment, and (3) outcome measure hindered in-depth data analysis and synthesis. Current evidence is insufficient to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various HMs. Further studies with improved trial design and reporting, with assessment on cost-effectiveness, quality of life, and qualitative data are warranted.     

白术茯苓汤及其配伍对脾虚大鼠胃肠激素的影响

目的：探讨益气健脾方剂治疗脾虚证的配伍规律。方法：采用苦寒泻下法复制大鼠脾虚模型，运用放射免疫分析法（RIA）检测白术茯苓汤及其与补气药。行气药及除湿药的不同配伍对脾虚大鼠胃泌素（GAS）、胃动素（MTL）及血管活性肠肽（VIP）的含量影响。结果：与正常对照组比较，脾虚模型大鼠GAS、MTL降低（P＜0．01），VIP升高（P＜0．01）；与自然恢复组比较，各治疗组以上部分或全部指标均有不同程度的改善，其中，以综合配伍组改善作用最优。结论：白术茯苓汤的脾虚大鼠胃肠激素的紊乱的某些指标，有一定的改善作用，综合配合组以上指标的改善，优于白术茯苓汤组及其余各配伍组，说明中医关于复方配伍的理论与实践，有其科学价值。     

50种传统清热解毒药的抑菌实验

本文报告了传统药物文献收载的５０种清热解毒药的抑菌实验结果。显示抑菌作用的有４１种，占８２％。对阳性球菌显示有抑菌作用的有３６种；对阴性杆菌显示有抑菌作用的有２４种。其中的地胡椒、金果榄、毛果算盘子等显示有较广的抗菌效应，值得进一步研究。     

提高中医临床疗效的科学学检讨(连载三)

中医学的生命力在于临床疗效 ,社会对于中医学的需要也在于临床疗效。提高中医临床疗效的科学学研究 ,要以中医基础理论为依据 ,以理、法、方、药一脉相承的辨证论治为前提。造成中医临床疗效下降的问题在于“三个脱节” ,即中医学与自身文化基础脱节 ,中医临床与辨证论治脱节 ,中药与中医临床脱节。中医学正处于行将消亡的边缘 ,也处在新的突破的前夜。实事求是地进行科学、历史的反思 ,中医学完全有可能走出百年困惑 ,得到振兴和发展。     

H—TdR前体掺入技术在复方中药抗癌制剂研究中的应用

将一种快速、灵敏、可靠、简便的抗癌活性微量测定技术——~3H—TdR前体掺入技术用于复方中药抗癌制剂制备工艺筛选,短期内即拟定出较合理的工艺,经临床及14项生物学指标综合评定,该制剂疗效好,无明显的毒副作用。表明把一些快速、灵敏的医学检测技术引入药物制备工艺、质量标准及稳定性研究,可克服由于活性成分不清楚带来的一些困难,拓宽了研究途径,提高了研究水平。     

重视合理用药 提高药物疗效

目的:提高合理用药的意识,促进临床用药向安全、合理、高效、经济的目标发展。方法:结合临床实际,对用药的过程和结果进行分析讨论。结果:通过用药现状分析,证明不合理用药现象广泛存在。结论:合理用药应引起高度重视,以减少药物不良反应的发生,发挥药物的最佳疗效。     

Safety of modern oral contraception: the options for women: lessons to be learned

The relatively short history of hormonal contraception has been marked by a series of 'pill scares', all of which--after creating panic among users--were proven to be unfounded in terms of public health impact. The latest pill scare, provoked by regulatory action in the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany in response to the publication of a series of articles indicating a doubling of risk of deep venous thrombosis in users of oral contraceptives containing third-generation progestins, seems finally settled: both the British and the German Drug Regulatory Authorities have now reverted their verdict. The damage unfortunately stays: hundreds of thousands of women have been compelled to abandon the pill of their choice, often deciding to drop contraception altogether, thereby exposing themselves to unwanted pregnancy and--in a number of cases--to pregnancy termination. This latest episode should be turned into something positive: we need to learn that, in the case of drugs in widespread use, before restrictive action is taken--and except for very rare and specific instances--the scientific community must carry out an exhaustive debate on the reality and importance of the observed effects. Although the public should, in each instance, be properly informed, it is only after this process has been completed that restrictive action should be taken. It is hoped that, after this last episode, all concerned have learned this simple principle and will accept being guided by it from now on.
