ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore medication regularity of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） and thereby to lay a theoretical basis for clinical medication and drug development. MethodArticles on clinical treatment of intermediate and advanced NSCLC with TCM in the past 40 years were retrieved from CNKI， which were taken the data source. Then the articles were screened to establish a formula database， followed by frequency statistics， association rule analysis， cluster analysis， factor analysis， and complex network construction. ResultA total of 307 eligible articles were screened out， involving 483 formulas. The common syndrome of intermediate and advanced NSCLC was the deficiency of both Qi and Yin， with the common syndrome elements of Qi deficiency， Yin deficiency， phlegm， blood stasis， pathogenic heat （fire）， toxin， and pathogenic dampness. The frequently used medicinals mainly had the functions of tonifying deficiency， clearing heat， resolving phlegm and relieving cough and dyspnea， promoting urination and draining dampness， and activating blood and resolving stasis. The high-frequency medicinals were Astragali Radix， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizome， Ophiopogonis Radix， Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus， and Poria， which were mainly cold， bitter， sweet， and pungent， with tropism at lung， spleen， and stomach. The association rule analysis yielded 17 rules with strong association. Ten common factors were extracted from the factor analysis， and cluster analysis classified the medicinals into 5 groups. Complex network analysis suggested that the core formula was modified Liujunzi Tang and Yiqi Yangyin Jiedu prescription. ConclusionThe treatment principle for intermediate and advanced NSCLC is replenishing Qi and nourishing Yin， invigorating spleen and resolving phlegm， clearing heat and detoxifying， promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The core combinations new prescription discovered by data mining are of important guiding significance， but they should be further verified in clinical practice and by experiments based on the theory of TCM.
ABSTRACT
Preterm infants are a special group, and related severe neurological, respiratory, and digestive disorders have high disability/fatality rates. Allogeneic cell transplantation may be an effective method for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. At present, animal studies have been conducted for allogeneic cell transplantation in the treatment of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and necrotizing enterocolitis. The main difficulty of this technique is graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR), and successful induction of immune tolerance needs to be achieved in order to solve this problem. This article reviews the research advances in immune tolerance of allogeneic cell transplantation in preterm infants.
