ABSTRACT
Objective Kidney-supplementing and blood-activating method was adopted in treating senile patients with isolated systolic hypertension to observe its decompression effects and influences on microalbunminuria (Malb),retinol binding protein (RBP) level in 24 hours.Methods 90 patients with simple systolic hypertension were randomly recurited into two groups.52 cases in the treatment group were administered with kidney-supplementing and blood-activating decoction,including 1 case falling off and 51 cases entering statistical analysis; 38 cases in the control group were administered with oral placebo,among them 2 cases were fallen offand 36 cases were entered statistical analysis.Both groups were treated for 8 weeks.Results () Blood pressure:systolic blood pressure at 4 and 8 weeks after the treatment in the treatment group [(144.03±12.33)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133kPa) and (132.27±13.15)mmHg] wassignificantlyimproved than before the treatment [(156.32±12.05)mm Hg] (P＜0.05),and also significantly better than the control group at 4,8 weeks after the treatment [(151.19± 13.83)mm Hg,(152.74± 12.03)mm Hg] (P＜0.05).②The Malb,RBP level:Malb,RBP level [(40.80±13.51)mg/L,(150.43±23.62)mg/L] after the treatment in the treatment group was reduced than before the treatment [(50.14± 15.61)mg/L,(220.04±30.20) mg/L] (P＜0.05),and was significantly different to the control group after treatment [(52.12±14.69)mg/L,(219.34±34.37)mg/L] (P＜0.05).Conclusion Kidney-supplementing and blood-activating method can improve kidney function,and thus to reduce the effect of systolic blood pressure.

ABSTRACT
To establish diagnostic criteria for common traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in osteoporosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish a quantitative model for evaluating the degree of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes often seen in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: Medical literature concerning clinical investigation of TCM syndromes of CHD was collected and organized, and the "Hall for Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering" expert symposium method was applied. First, the 100 millimeter scaling was used for combining with scoring on degree of symptoms to establish a quantitative criterion for classification of symptom degree in CHD patients, and the model was established by using comprehensive analytic hierarchy process as the mathematical tool to estimate the weight of the criterion for evaluating qualitative syndromes in various layers by specialists. Then the model was verified in clinical practice and the outcomes were compared with fuzzy evaluation from the specialists. Results: A total of 287 clinical observation forms on CHD cases were collected, and 167 forms were available after excluding any irregular forms. The results showed that basic coincidence rate between the outcomes derived from specialists and those from the model was 68.26% (114/167), and part coincidence rate was 88.62%(148/167). Conclusion: This model, with good rationality and feasibility, has a high coincidence rate with fuzzy evaluation from specialists, and can be promoted in clinical practice. It is a good quantitative model for evaluating the degree of TCM syndromes of CHD.
