OBJECTIVE

To observe the symptom patterns (or syndromes) according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory in patients with various stages of colorectal cancer, and to observe the dynamic evolution process of these TCM patterns.

METHODS

A prospective and cross-sectional questionnaire-based investigation was performed. Clinical data on TCM symptom patterns in patients with colorectal cancer in the perioperative period (210 cases) and adjuvant treatment period (160 cases) were collected. EPIData 3.1 together with frequency statistics and cluster analyses were performed to identify the TCM patterns based on symptom characteristics in patients with colorectal cancer, and to assess the dynamic changes in these patterns.

RESULTS

In the perioperative period, from the first day of perioperative care to postoperative days 3, 7, and 10, the TCM pattern showed a process of dynamic change from blood deficiency to deficiency of both Qi and Yin and the pattern of dampness and hot accumulative knotting. In the adjuvant treatment period, the TCM pattern changed from Qi deficiency and Yin deficiency inner-heat with dampness to a deficiency pattern, primarily including Yin deficiency of the liver and kidney, deficiency of Qi and blood, and spleen deficiency.

CONCLUSION

Our study confirmed that variations in the dynamic evolution of TCM symptom patterns exist in patients with colorectal cancer during different treatment periods. This information is of great value in the individualized management of colorectal cancer.

目的观察结直肠癌不同分期患者的中医证候(或证候),并观察这些证候的动态演变过程。方法采用前瞻性、横断面问卷调查法。收集结直肠癌患者围手术期(210例)及辅助治疗期(160例)中医证候的临床资料。采用EPIData 3.1,结合频次统计和聚类分析,识别结直肠癌患者基于症状特征的中医模式,并评估这些模式的动态变化。结果围手术期,从围手术期护理第1天至术后第3、7、10天,中医证型呈现由血虚向气阴两虚、湿热结热证型动态变化的过程。辅助治疗期中医证型由气虚阴虚内热湿型转为虚型,主要包括肝肾阴虚、气血虚、脾虚。结论本研究证实,结直肠癌患者中医证型在不同治疗期的动态演变存在差异。这些信息对大肠癌的个体化治疗具有重要价值。

OBJECTIVE

To observe the efficacy and safety of different dosages of modified Zhibaidihuang decoction (MZBDD) on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) hyperandrogenism (HA) patients.

METHODS

Ninety PCOS HA patients and 30 infertile patients due to tubal factor were selected. Ninety PCOS HA patients were randomly divided into three groups: low dosage group (LDG), medium dosage group (MDG) and high dosage group (HDG) and infertile patients were selected as normal control group (NCG). PCOS HA patients were treated with different dosage of MZBDD for 4 weeks. For HA patients, serum total testosterone (T), estrodial (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolatin (PRL), alanine aminotransferase (AST), aspartate amino transferase (AST) were determined before and after treatment, while acne scores (Rosenfield) were signed. Basal body temperatures (BBT) were asked to be measured every day. And for the else, T, E2, FSH, LH, PRL, AST, and AST were determined before treatment.

RESULTS

Totally 111 patients completed the clinical research. There were no differences among the four groups on serum T before treatment (P = 0.221). Serum T concentration of both MDG and HDG after treatment significantly were lower than that of before treatment (P = 0.039, P = 0.000), while there was no obvious difference in LDG (P = 0.829). Serum T concentration of both MDG and HDG were significantly lower than that of LDG after treatment (P = 0.048, P = 0.006). To compared with before treatment, there were no differences in Serum FSH, LH, E2, P and PRL among the three groups (LDG, MDG, HDG) (as for FSH, P = 0.136, P = 0.503, P = 0.062; as for LH, P = 0.473, P = 0.513, P = 0.096; as for E2, P = 0.206, P = 0.927, P = 0.076; as for PRL, P = 0.120, P = 0.903, P = 0.407, as for P, P = 0.308, P = 0.866, P = 0480). Acne scores of all the three groups were obviously lower than that of before treatment (P = 0.031; P = 0.033; P = 0.002). 39.5% of the patients had biphasic BBT, but there were no differences among the three groups (P = 0.510). There were no differences with ALT and AST between after and before treatment among the three groups (LDG, MDG, HDG) (as for ALT, P = 0.742, P = 0.383, P = 0.053; as for AST, P = 0.732, P = 0.519, P = 0.120).

CONCLUSION

Different dosage of MZBDD has dose-effect relationship in treating PCOS HA.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the inhibitory effect of Sumu (Lignum Sappan) plus Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata) (SF) on the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.

METHODS

A lung carcinoma model was established by subcutaneously inoculating Lewis lung carcinoma cells into C57BL/6 mice. The mice were randomly divided into four groups of 13 mice (control, low-dose, moderate-dose, and high-dose), and gavaged once-daily for 21 consecutive days. The rates of tumor inhibition, metastasis, and metastasis inhibition were observed. The differential expressions of sP-selectin and vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) were compared between the treatment groups and the control group.

RESULTS

The tumor weights differed significantly between the treatment groups and the control group (P < 0.05). Administration of SF in the moderate-dosage and low-dose groups significantly inhibited the expression of sP-selectin and VEGFC (both P < 0.05), suggesting anti-tumor activity.

CONCLUSION

SF can inhibit the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effect and safety of Zuogui pill and Yougui pill, classic Yin and Yang tonic formula (CYYTF), in the treatment of osteoporosis and the underlying mechanism.

METHODS

Participants aged 55 to 75 with osteoporosis and Kidney deficiency in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) will be included and randomly allocated into two groups: treatment group and control group. Participants in the treatment group were treated with Zuogui pill or Yougui pill TCM formula granule, while the control group received placebo. Primary outcomes are the lumbar spine on bone mineral density (BMD) (L1-4) and femoral BMD. Secondary outcomes include pain intensity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), bone turnover markers and safety.

RESULTS

Totally 200 patients were enrolled from December 2014 to April 2016 from four hospitals. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups at baseline (P > 0.05) and it was good to comparability. Statistically significant differences between the two groups were observed for the lumbar BMD (L1-4), pain VAS scores and HRQoL at six months and twelve months and femoral BMD at twelve months (P < 0.05), but no significant differences for femoral BMD and bone turnover markers at six months (P > 0.05). Moreover, significant difference was observed at different time before and after treatment in terms of lumbar spine (L1-4) BMD, femoral BMD, pain VAS scores and health-related quality of life, and there was an crossover effect between the time and groups before and after treatment. In additional, in the treatment group, 8 patients lost to follow-up and 3 patients had adverse events (AEs) and in the control group, 10 patients lost to follow-up and 2 patients had AEs. No remarkable differences were observed between the two groups with regard to AEs, lost rate and safety (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Zuogui pill or Yougui pill could improve BMD, ease pain, relieve Kidney deficiency syndrome, improve the quality of life osteoporosis patients, inhibit bone conversion and regulate the coupling balance of bone formation and bone resorption, but long-term efficacy should be confirmed by a longer term follow-up and larger of samples clinical randomized controlled trials.

目的评价经典阴阳补方左归丸和右归丸治疗骨质疏松症的疗效和安全性,并探讨其作用机制。方法将55 ~ 75岁骨质疏松合并中医肾虚患者随机分为治疗组和对照组。治疗组给予左归丸或右归丸中药配方颗粒治疗,对照组给予安慰剂治疗。主要结果是腰椎骨密度(BMD) (L1-4)和股骨骨密度。次要结局包括疼痛强度、健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)、骨转换标志物和安全性。结果2014年12月至2016年4月共入组4家医院患者200例。两组在基线时无统计学差异(P >0.05),具有良好的可比性。两组患者6个月和12个月时腰椎骨密度(L1-4)、疼痛VAS评分和HRQoL以及12个月时股骨骨密度(P <0.05),但6个月时股骨骨密度和骨转换指标差异无统计学意义(P >0.05)。治疗前后不同时间腰椎(L1-4)骨密度、股骨骨密度、疼痛VAS评分及健康相关生活质量差异均有统计学意义,且治疗前后时间、组间存在交叉效应。治疗组8例失访,3例发生不良事件(ae);对照组10例失访,2例发生ae。两组在ae、损失率和安全性方面无显著差异(P >0.05)。结论左归丸或游归丸可改善骨质疏松症患者的骨密度,缓解疼痛,缓解肾虚证,改善患者的生活质量,抑制骨转化,调节骨形成与骨吸收的耦合平衡,但其长期疗效有待于长期随访和大样本临床随机对照试验的证实。

OBJECTIVE

To test the hypothesis that modified Shenlingbaizhu decoction (MSD) attenuates the formation of intestinal adenomas by regulating activation of CD4+CD25+ forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) regulatory T cells (Tregs) by downregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α).

METHODS

Chemical fingerprints of ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rc, paeoniflorin, and dioscin in standard extractions were used as material bases of MSD. Adenomatous polyposis coli multiple intestinal neoplasia (ApcMin/+) mice, which harbor a mutation in adenomatous polyposis coli, were used to host intestinal adenomas. Peripheral blood and spleen Tregs were analyzed by flow cytometry. Protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.

RESULTS

The number and size of intestinal adenomas were significantly reduced by MSD treatment. Mucosal thickening and the spleen size were also substantially decreased by MSD. The carcinogenesis process in ApcMin/+ mice resembled that of human colorectal cancer. Molecular markers of neoplasms, such as β-catenin, cyclooxygenase-2, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and p53, were substantially ameliorated by MSD treatment. Moreover, MSD downregulated peripheral and spleen CD4 + CD25+FoxP3+Tregs and reduced in situ expression of CD4, CD25, and FoxP3 in intestinal adenomas. MSD also suppressed HIF-1α expression in the intestinal adenomas, and HIF-1α inhibition decreased expression of FoxP3 in Jurkat T cells under hypoxic conditions.

CONCLUSION

MSD is a valid prescription to control the formation of intestinal adenomas in ApcMin/+ mice. It exerts anti-cancer effects partially through suppression of HIF-1α that induced activation of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs in vivo and in vitro.

OBJECTIVE

To observe the effect of gastric distention (GD) and acupuncture at three different acupoints on the spontaneous discharge of neurons in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN), and to clarify the specific function of the MVN in the central integration mechanism underlying acupuncture regulation.

METHODS

GD was conducted using a balloon inserted in the stomach cavity, and acupuncture was performed separately at each of three acupoints: Zusanli (ST 36), Quchi (LI 11), and Weishu (BL 21). The effect of acupuncture and GD on the spontaneous discharge of MVN neurons was assessed using a glass microelectrode filled with a sodium acetate electrolyte solution containing 1% pontamine sky blue; the discharge signals from the neurons were amplified by the microelectrode amplifier and recorded in the Spike2 system.

RESULTS

GD and acupuncture significantly affected the spontaneous discharge of MVN neurons. Furthermore, acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Weishu (BL 21) was significantly more effective at altering the discharge of GD-responsive MVN neurons compared with GD-nonresponsive neurons.

CONCLUSION

GD and acupuncture at three different acupoints affected the electrical activity of MVN neurons. The MVN is involved in the central integration mechanism underlying acupuncture regulation of gastric functions. The effects of acupuncture on gastric function may therefore be mediated via these particular MVN neurons.

目的观察胃胀(GD)和针刺三个不同穴位对前庭内侧核(MVN)神经元自发放电的影响,阐明MVN在针刺调节中枢整合机制中的具体功能。方法采用胃球囊穿刺法,分别针刺足三里(ST 36)、曲池(LI 11)、胃枢(BL 21) 3个穴位。针刺和GD对MVN神经元自发放电的影响采用含有1% pontamine天蓝的醋酸钠电解质溶液填充的玻璃微电极;神经元放电信号经微电极放大器放大后记录在Spike2系统中。结果gd和针刺对MVN神经元自发放电有显著影响。此外,针刺足三里(ST 36)和胃枢(BL 21)在改变gd反应神经元的MVN放电方面明显比gd不反应神经元更有效。结论d和针刺三个不同穴位对MVN神经元的电活动有影响。MVN参与了针刺调节胃功能的中枢整合机制。因此,针刺对胃功能的影响可能是通过这些特殊的MVN神经元介导的。

OBJECTIVE

To assess toxicities of the air in Chinese medicine clinics polluted by moxa-burning smoke due to moxibustion-derived burning products (MBP).

METHODS

Both acute and chronic toxicity studies were conducted. For the acute toxicity study, five groups of Wistar rats (n = 16/group, male: female = 1:1) were exposed to five different concentrations (95%, 90%, 85%, 80% and 75%, respectively) of MBP for 2 h. For the chronic toxicity study, another three groups of male rats (n = 21/group) were exposed to MBP in three concentrations (10%, 40% and 70%, respectively) and one control group exposed to clean air 20 min/d for 144 d. Routine examinations were performed and analyzed by analysis of variance and dose-response relationship.

RESULTS

In the acute toxicity study, the number of dead rats in the 95%, 90%, 85%, 80% and 75% groups were 16, 13, 7, 6 and 3, respectively, with LD50 of 86.274% after or during the 2 h exposure. In the chronic toxicity study, MBP exposure induced a decline in activity of the rats. Rats in the 10% group showed no signs of toxicity, while those in the 40% MBP group showed toxicity effects on the body weights (P < 0.05) and lung. Rats in the 70% MBP group also presented with reversible damage in the blood coagulation system (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Exposure to 10% MBP, which is equivalent to 27.45 mg/m3, was under the critical threshold for male rats’ safety. Exposure to MBP above that limit induced lung damage. MBP in clinics need to be reduced to a safe level with enhanced ventilation.

目的评价艾灸燃烧产品(MBP)对中医诊所燃烧艾烟污染空气的毒性。方法进行急性和慢性毒性研究。急性毒性研究,取Wistar大鼠5组(16只/组,雄性):雌性= 1:1)分别暴露于5种不同浓度(95%、90%、85%、80%和75%)的MBP中2 h。慢性毒性研究中,雄性大鼠(n = 21/组)分别暴露于3种浓度(10%、40%和70%)的MBP中,对照组暴露于20 min/d的清洁空气中,持续144 d。进行常规检查,并进行方差分析和量效关系分析。结果在急性毒性试验中,95%、90%、85%、80%和75%组大鼠分别在暴露2 h后、2 h内死亡16只、13只、7只、6只和3只,LD50为86.274%。在慢性毒性研究中,MBP暴露引起大鼠活动下降。10% MBP组大鼠未出现毒性迹象,而40% MBP组大鼠出现了对体重的毒性作用(P <0.05)和肺。70% MBP组大鼠的凝血系统也出现可逆性损伤(P <0.05)。结论10% MBP暴露量(27.45 mg/m3)低于雄性大鼠安全临界值。暴露在高于该限值的MBP中会引起肺损伤。诊所的血压需要降低到安全水平,并加强通风。

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.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effectiveness and safety of Zhu-yuan decoction (ZYD) in patients after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

METHODS

A total of 85 patients were randomized into two groups: 44 were treated with intranasal corticosteroids (INC), and 41 were given Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who underwent FESS were prospectively enrolled in the study. Before surgery, they were evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS), nasal endoscopy, computed tomography (CT), and routine blood test. After surgery, they were randomized to take ZYD or INC for 12 weeks and revaluated by VAS; nasal endoscopy at 4, 8, and 12 weeks; and CT at 12 weeks after surgery.

RESULTS

In the both groups, VAS and endoscopy scores decreased significantly at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and CT scores after treatment declined at 12 weeks compared with baseline scores. No significant differences were observed with regard to postoperative VAS, endoscopy, or CT scores between groups. ZYD, combined with surgery, can reduce VAS, nasal endoscopy, and CT scores and has the same efficacy and safety profile as INC in post-FESS management. No fatalities or major adverse events occurred in either group.

CONCLUSION

Our findings suggest that ZYD has similar effects and safety profiles in patients after FESS compared with INC.

目的探讨柱元汤(ZYD)在功能性内镜鼻窦手术(FESS)后的疗效和安全性。方法85例患者随机分为两组:44例给予鼻内皮质类固醇(INC)治疗,41例给予中药治疗。接受FESS治疗的慢性鼻窦炎(CRS)患者被前瞻性纳入研究。术前采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)、鼻内窥镜检查、计算机断层扫描(CT)、血常规进行评估。术后随机接受ZYD或INC治疗12周,进行VAS评估;4周、8周和12周鼻内窥镜检查;术后12周进行CT检查。结果两组患者治疗后4周、8周和12周时VAS和内镜评分均显著下降,治疗后12周时CT评分较基线评分下降。两组患者术后VAS评分、内镜评分和CT评分均无显著差异。ZYD联合手术可降低VAS、鼻内窥镜和CT评分,在fess后治疗中与INC具有相同的疗效和安全性。两组均未发生死亡或重大不良事件。结论:与INC相比,ZYD在FESS患者中具有相似的疗效和安全性。

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy of moxibustion, through stimulating acupoints of Danzhong (CV 17) and Ganshu (BL 18) in rats with hyperplasia of mammary gland (HMG) which induced by estrogen and progestogen.

METHODS

Thirty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into saline control group, HMG model group, and HMG moxibustion group with 10 in each group. Saline control was the group injected by saline. HMG model were created by injection of estrogen and progestogen. Moxibustion group was also injected of estrogen and progestogen with moxibustion at the same time. The Changes of nipple diameter and height were measured. The rats’ skin temperature was recorded by an infrared thermal camera at the nipples, mammary areas, Danzhong (CV 17) and Ganshu (BL 18). Pathological changes of mammary gland in rats were also observed under light microscope.

RESULTS

The diameter and height of the nipples in model group were prominently bigger and higher than that in control group (P < 0.01). The diameter and height in moxibustion group were prominently smaller and lower than that in model group (P < 0.01), and there was no significant difference between moxibustion group and control group. Compared with control group, skin temperature of the nipples, mammary area, and acupoints Danzhong (CV 17) and Ganshu (BL 18) decreased prominently in model group (P < 0.01-0.05). Compared with model group, skin temperature of that in moxibustion group increased prominently (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Treatment with moxibustion can effectively decrease the HMG rats’ nipple diameter and height, and increase the skin temperature in HMG model rats at the nipples, mammary areas, Danzhong (CV 17) and Ganshu (BL 18). This study convinces the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on mammary gland hyperplasia.

目的通过刺激丹中穴(CV 17)和肝俞穴(BL 18),观察艾灸对雌激素、孕激素诱导的乳腺增生(HMG)大鼠的疗效。方法30只雌性sd大鼠随机分为生理盐水对照组、HMG模型组和HMG艾灸组,每组10只。生理盐水对照组为生理盐水注射组。通过注射雌激素和孕激素建立HMG模型。艾灸组患者在艾灸的同时注射雌激素和孕激素。测量乳头直径和高度的变化。用红外热像仪记录大鼠乳头、乳房、丹中(CV 17)和肝俞(BL 18)的皮肤温度。光镜下观察大鼠乳腺的病理变化。结果模型组大鼠乳头直径和高度明显大于对照组(P <0.01)。艾灸组大鼠的直径和高度明显小于模型组(P <0.01),艾灸组与对照组比较差异无统计学意义。与对照组比较,模型组大鼠乳头、乳腺部位、丹中穴(CV 17)、肝俞穴(BL 18)皮肤温度显著降低(P <0.01 - -0.05)。与模型组比较,艾灸组大鼠皮肤温度显著升高(P <0.05)。结论艾灸治疗可有效降低HMG模型大鼠乳头直径和乳头高度,提高HMG模型大鼠乳头、乳腺区域、丹中(CV 17)和肝枢(BL 18)的皮肤温度。本研究证实了艾灸对乳腺增生的治疗作用。
