ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical efficacy of Angong niuhuang pill combined with chemical drug in the treatment of severe craniocerebral injury and its effect on the concentration of Mg2+ in peripheral blood,and to provide evidence-based reference in clinic.METHODS:Retrieved from Chinese Journal Full-text Database,China Science and Technology Journal Database,China Bxdxiology Medicine disc,Wanfang Database,Chinese Clinical Trial Registry,PubMed,Excerpta Media Database,The Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Clinical Trials,and related literatures of intemet searched by Google Scholar,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about Angong niuhuang pill combined with chemical drug (trial group) vs.chemical drug (control group) in the treatment of severe craniocerebral injury and its effects on the concentration of Mg2+ in peripheral blood were collected.After literature screening,data extraction,quality evaluation with modified Jadad scale,meta-analysis of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and Mg2+ concentration in peripheral blood were conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software after 7 d of treatment.RESULTS:A total of 6 RCTs were included,involving 773 patients.Results of meta-analysis showed that GCS [MD=2.87,95％CI (1.64,4.10),P＜0.01] and Mg2+ concentration in peripheral blood [MD=0.11,95％CI(0.06,0.16),P＜0.01] of trial group were significantly higher than those of control group,with statistical significance.CONCLUSIONS:Therapeutic efficacy of Angong niuhuang pill combined with chemical drug is better than that of chemical drug alone in the treatment of severe craniocerebral injury,can improve clinical symptom and prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect for stroke(cerebral infarction)at acute stage intervened by traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) clinical pathway. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in the patients before and after intervention by TCM clinical pathway during the year of 2013-2016. The outcomes included the entrance rate,completion percentage,aberration rate,severity,hospitalization time,and hospitalization fee as well as functional prognosis 30 d after discharge. Results A total of 792 cases was included,241 cases admitted in the year of 2013, 191 in the year of 2014, 135 in the year of 2015, and 225 in the year of 2016. In the year of 2014-2016,the entrance rate,completion percentage,hospitalization time,hospitalization fee,critical case percentage,and gender constituent ratio were steadily(P > 0.05). Modified Rankin Scale(mRS)for short-term functional prognosis mRS 0 ~ 2 percentage and aberration rate in the year of 2016 were superior to those in the year of 2014 and 2015(P < 0.05). Functional improvement on discharge day 30 in the year of 2014-2016 was superior to that in the year of 2013(P < 0.05). The hospitalization time and hospitalization fee in the year of 2014-2016 were a liffle higher than those in the year of 2013(P < 0.05), showing no obvious increase. Conclusion The application of TCM clinical pathway can make the diagnosis and treatment procedure of stroke at acute stage standardized,enhance the therapeutic effect,achieve or even exceed the goal of manage scheme.
