ABSTRACT
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) has a higher incidence in middle-aged and elderly women. At present, for mild and moderate SUI patients, the treatment of kegel practice or combined with TCM ,and acupuncture, acupoint application or pelvic floor muscle exercise show benefit effect. This article summarized the etiology and pathogenesis of SUI, TCM therapy, integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, in recent years, in order to provide reference for the treatment of the disease and the further study.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect ofHuayu-Niaoshidecoction on renal injury in the patients with kidney stones after extra corporeal lithotripsy (ESWL). MethodsAccording to the inclusion criteria, 120 patients diagnosed with kidney stones were randomly divided into 2 groups with the random number table method, 60 patients in each group. Both groups were treated with double pulse extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Based on the ESWL, the control group was added with levofloxacin mesylate tablets for 3 days with the start of the day of the gravel; and the treatment group was treated withHuayu-Niaoshi decoction for 14 days based on the treatment of control group. The levels of serum endothelial endothelin 1 (ET-1), malondialdehyde (MDA), urinary N-acetyl-β-Dglucosaminidase (NAG) N-acetyl-beta-d Glucosaminidase and urine beta 2 microspheres protein (beta eukaryotic 2-mg) were detected at time of gravel, 2 hours after gravel and 2 weeks after gravel. ResultsAfter 2 weeks treatment, the levels of urinary NAG (7.33 ± 4.39 U/L vs. 9.93 ± 5.10 U/L;Z=2.587,P=0.002), serum MDA (4.63 ± 0.90 nmol/mlvs. 7.29 ± 2.16 nmol/ml;Z=5.520, P=0.001), serum ET-1 (35.06 ± 10.51 pg/mlvs. 46.90 ± 18.74 pg/ml;Z=3.315,P=0.001) and urineβ2-MG (0.14 ± 0.19) mg/Lvs. 0.19 ± 0.19 mg/L;Z=1.759,P=0.079) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusions TheHuayu-Niaoshidecoction can improve renal injury in the patients with kidney stones after extra corporeal lithotripsy.
ABSTRACT
Male late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) has seriously affected the quality of life in elderly men.The pathogenesis of this disease is related with growing old,endocrine function degradation and hormone levels decreased.The core principle of the western medicine treatment is to supple the androgen,but recent discovery found that long-term androgen supplementation have certain side effects,which will increase the benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer risk.Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has a unique advantage in treating this disease,it can regulate the body's endocrine and hormone levels,and delay aging.So it can improve the conditions of palpitations,insomnia,irritability,sweating,sexual loss,fatigue,weakness and other symptoms.Now we reviewed the theory of governance,classical prescriptions,self prescription treatment,acupuncture therapy,and exercise therapy from the aspect of traditional Chinese medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of compoundTufuling tablets in the treatment of chronic prostatitis due to damp heat stagnation.Methods A total of 60 patients with chronic prostatitis due to damp heat stagnation were selected from July 2012 to July 2013 in Urology Outpatient of Urology, Xiyuan Hospital and recruited randomly divided into 2 groups, 30 patients in each group. The treatment group was treated with compound SmilaxTufuling tablets, while the control group was treated with Qianliexin capsule. The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NHI-CPSI), and the TCM symptoms score for chronic prostatitis were used to evaluate the treatment outcome.Results The total efficiency in the treatment group was significant higher than that in the control group (89.3%vs. 64.3%;χ2=4.909,P=0.027). After treatment , the NIH-CPSI total score (6.00 ± 2.36vs. 13.61 ± 2.91;t=10.748, P=0.000), and the subscales of pain or discomfort (2.54 ± 1.14vs. 4.82 ± 1.47;t=6.486,P=0.000), urination (1.61 ± 1.45vs. 4.79 ± 2.75;t=5.413,P=0.000), the quality of life (1.86 ± 1.38vs. 7.00 ± 1.36;t=14.038, P=0.000), TCM symptoms score (8.36 ± 3.03vs. 5.32 ± 2.74;t= 9.015,P=0.000) in the treatment group were decreased than those in the control group.Conclusions CompoundTufuling tablets can significantly decrease the NIH-CPSI scale and the TCM symptoms score in patients with chronic prostatitis due to damp heat stagnation, boosting satisfactory clinical effects.
