TL;DR: Heart-protecting musk pill is safe and effective to treat the cardiac dysfunction of ischemic heart disease.
Abstract: Objective:To investigate the effect of heart-protecting musk pill (HMP) on cardiac dysfunction of ischemic heart disease. Methods:79 cases of ischemic heart disease were randomly divided into the contrast group (39 cases) and the HMP group (40 cases). The contrast group was treated by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptorantagonist and diuretics. The HMP group were treated by HMP on the base of normal therapy. Three index including EF, BNP and 6-MWT were observed before and after one treatment course of three months. Results:In the HMP group, EF was improved obviously. The distance of 6-MWT was extended and BNP reduced. The difference between the HMP group and the contrast group had significant meaning (P0.05). Conclusion:Heart-protecting musk pill is safe and effective to treat the cardiac dysfunction of ischemic heart disease.

TL;DR: Lentinan can significantly reduce the blood total cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemia rats and the function may be related to improve the activities of LCAT and LPL and increase the level of HDL-C.
Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effect of lentinan (LNT) on reducing blood lipid of hyperlipidemia rats and its mechanisms according to the traditional Chinese medicine principle called“the same source of medicine and food”. Methods: Male SD strains rats were divided into low dose group, high dose group, hyperlipidemia contrast group, masculine contrast group and normal contrast group respectively. The normal contrast group was fed with normal diet and other 4 group with high-lipid diet. The low dose group and high dose group were fed with lentinan at the dosages of 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg respectively, the masculine group with lovastatin at the dosages of 10mg/kg,and the hyperlipidemia contrast group and normal contrast group were fed with the same volume of NS.The experiment lasted 60 days. The fast blood cholesterol (TC), low-density cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density cholesterol (HDL-C) as well as HDL3-C, HDL2-C and activities of LCAT, LPL and HL were tested. Results: The TC level of low dose group and high dose group were obviously reduced( P 0.05), the level of HDL-C, HDL2-C as well as two ratios of HDL-C/TC and HDL-C/LDL/C improved ( P 0.05), while level of LDL-C had no significantly change ( P 0.05). The activities of LCATadd LPL in hyperlipidemia rats were lower than those in normal rats ( P 0.05). After using lentinan, theactivities of LCAT add LPL in Hyperlipidemia rats were much improved ( P 0.05). Conclusion:Lentinan can significantly reduce the blood total cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemia rats. The functionmay be related to improve the activities of LCAT and LPL and increase the level of HDL-C.

TL;DR: Qigekaiwei decoction integrated with megestrol acetate can increase the detoxification function in improving of anorexia and weight reducing in patients with lung cancer.
Abstract: Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Qigekaiwei decoction produced by author integrated with megestrol acetate and megestrol acetate only in improving of anorexia and weight reducing in patients with lung cancer.Methods:64 cases with 1ung cancer were randomly divided into the treatment group and the contrast group.The treatment group was treated bv Qigekaiwei decoction integrated with megestrol acetate and the contrast group by megestrol acetate only.The improvement of anorexia and weight reducing and side effects in both groups were observed and compared.Results:The improvement of anorexia and weight reducing in both groups were similar.While the side effect including heart failure,edema,blood pressure,blood sugar and constipation in the treatment group was obviously less than that in the contrast group.No significant difference was found in control of losing liver function and vascular inflammation in both groups.Conclusion:Qigekaiwei decoction integrated with megestrol acetate can increase the detoxification function in improving of anorexia and weight reducing in patients with lung cancer.

TL;DR: Needling Quchi and Taichong points has curative effect on treating hypertension patients with all sorts of syndrome and shows different syndrome of hypertension has been related to serious extent of disease.
Abstract: Objective:To observe the effect of needling Quchi and Taichong Points on treating hypertension patients with different syndrome and the influence on blood levels of angiotension converting enzyme (ACE) and endothelin (ET), as well as to explore the mechanism of acupuncture. Methods: 80 hypertension patients were randomly divided into flaring liver-fire group (A), interior retention of phlegm dampens group (B), deficiency of Yin with excess of Yang group (C) and deficiency of both the Yin and Yang group (D) treated by acupuncture. Changes of plasma ET were determined by radio immunoassay (RIA) and serum ACE content by chemical colorimetry. Results: After one course of treatment, the effect in Group A and Group B was obviously better than that in Group C and Group D (P0.01), while Group C and Group D had also significant difference (P0.01). Contents of plasma ET in all groups were significantly decreased. The decrease degree was Group B, A, C and D in order. Contents of serum ACE in Group C, A and B had significant difference compared with those before treatment (P0.01, P0.05). Contents of serum ACE in all groups were significantly increased. The increase degree was Group A, B, C and D in order. Contents of serum ACE in Group C, A and D had significant difference compared with those before treatment (P0.01). Conclusion: Needling Quchi and Taichong points has curative effect on treating hypertension patients with all sorts of syndrome. The effects in Group A and B are better. It also shows different syndrome of hypertension has been related to serious extent of disease. Since needing Quchi and Taichong points can regulate the blood levels of ACE and ET.

TL;DR: Added Xiaoyao power can significantly promote the curative effect on treating functional dyspepsia and is significantly higher than those in the medicine group or T.C.M.M group, whose difference was obviousiy(P0.05).
Abstract: Objective: To investigate the curative effect and fitted syndrome of added Xiaoyao power on treating functional dyspepsia(FD). Methods:102 cases with FD were randomly divided into 3 groups: integration of Chinese and western medicine group, T.C.M. group and medicine group. The medicine group was treated with medicine simply, the T.C.M. group with added Xiaoyao power simple, the first group with both medicine and T.C.M. The treatment period was 2 weeks in all three groups.Results: The effective rate in the integration T.C.M. and medicine group was 90.48%, which was significantly higher than those in the medicine group(73.33%) or T.C.M group(70.00%), whose difference was obviousiy(P0.05). Conclusion:Added Xiaoyao power can significantly promote the curative effect on treating FD.
