ABSTRACT
Dopa preparations are currently first choice for the clinical treatment of Parkinson' s disease. With the application time extension and the dose increase of dopa preparations, the therapeutic effect is smaller and smaller, while the side effects are more and more significant, which have become the main problems affecting their clinical application. The current researches showed that the combination of traditional Chinese medicines and dopa preparations can improve the efficacy, decrease the dose of western medicines, reduce the adverse effects and so on. The paper reviewed the progress in the combination of dopa preparations and traditional Chinese medicines in the treatment of Parkinson' s disease in recent ten years.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the treatment of tumors, especially digestive system tumors, has achieved promising results.The current research shows that the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and 5-FU can enhance tumor inhibition rate, prolong survival period of patients, improve immunity and quality of life of patients, and significantly reduce side effects such as bone marrow suppression, liver and kidney toxicity and gastrointestinal reactions and so on.Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine combined with 5-FU can have synergistic and attenuated effects.
