ABSTRACT

The theory of disease prevention with traditional Chinese medicine is introduced into the prevention of chronic diseases such as hypertension. In order to fully implement the advantages of acupuncture, the three-level prevention strategy is strengthened on the whole-process intervention with acupuncture for hypertension, including prevention before disease onset, starting intervention at the early phase, and prevention disease from exacerbating. Moreover, the comprehensive management scheme, multidisciplinary coordination and participation mechanism are investigated in the field of traditional Chinese medicine for preventive treatment of hypertension.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for prevention of moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis.@*METHODS@#A total of 105 patients with moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis were randomly divided into an observation group (53 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and a control group (52 cases, 4 cases dropped off). The patients in the observation group were treated with acupuncture at Yintang (GV 24+), Yingxiang (LI 20), Hegu (LI 4), Zusanli (ST 36), Fengchi (GB 20), Feishu (BL 13), etc. 4 weeks before the seizure period, once every other day, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The patients in the control group were not given any intervention before the seizure period. Emergency drugs can be given appropriately during the seizure period in both groups. After seizure period, the seizure rate was recorded in the two groups; before treatment and on week 1, 2, 4, 6 of seizure period after treatment, the rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) score and total nasal symptom score (TNSS) were observed in the two groups; the rescue medication score (RMS) was recorded on week 1-6 of seizure period in the two groups.@*RESULTS@#The seizure rate of the observation group was 84.0% (42/50), which was lower than 100.0% (48/48) in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of RQLQ and TNSS at each time point of seizure period were decreased compared with before treatment in the observation group (P<0.01), which were lower than the control group (P<0.01). The RMS score at each time point of seizure period in the observation group was lower than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#Acupuncture can reduce the incidence of moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis, relieve the symptoms, improve the quality of life and reduce the use of emergency drugs.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Migraine is a chronic neurological disease, with a prevalence of 15.2% in Brazil. It is 2.2 times more prevalent in women, predominantly in the 18-50 age group. Its pathophysiological mechanism is still not completely understood. Possibly headache attacks and symptoms are associated with cortical spreading depression, the trigeminovascular system, neurogenic inflammation, vasodilation and genetic vulnerability. Objective:This is a narrative review of preventive and abortive treatment of migraine. Comment: Migraine treatment is based on three pillars: patient education, treatment of the disease itself or prevention of attacks, and acute treatment of headache attacks. The therapeutic classes of traditional drugs used in migraine prevention are beta-blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, calcium channel antagonists or blockers, and anticonvulsant neuromodulators. Specific drugs used in the treatment of headache attacks are triptans or serotonergic 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists, ditans or 5-HT1F receptor agonists, and gepants or CGRP receptor antagonists. Conclusion: Traditional drugs used in the preventive or abortive treatment of migraine are considered to be effective. Through modulation of the disease mechanisms, there is a reduction in the frequency, intensity and duration of headache attacks, and also in the disability caused by the headache. All this to improve the quality of life of patients. The therapeutic classes of traditional drugs used in migraine prevention are beta-blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, antagonists or blockers of calcium channels and anticonvulsant neuromodulators. Specific drugs used in the treatment of headache attacks are triptans or serotonergic 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists,ditans or 5-HT1F receptor agonists, and gepants or CGRP receptor antagonists.


Introdução: A enxaqueca é uma doença neurológica crônica, com prevalência de 15,2% no Brasil. É 2,2 vezes mais prevalente em mulheres, predominantemente na faixa etária de 18 a 50 anos. Seu mecanismo fisiopatológico ainda não está completamente esclarecido. Possivelmente, os ataques e sintomas de dor de cabeça estão associados à depressão alastrante cortical, ao sistema trigeminovascular, à inflamação neurogênica, à vasodilatação e à vulnerabilidade genética. Objetivo: Esta é uma revisão narrativa do tratamento preventivo e abortivo da enxaqueca. Comente: O tratamento da enxaqueca baseia-se em três pilares: educação do paciente, tratamento da própria doença ou prevenção de crises e tratamento agudo das crises de cefaleia. As classes terapêuticas de medicamentos tradicionais utilizados na prevenção da enxaqueca são betabloqueadores, antidepressivos tricíclicos, antagonistas ou bloqueadores dos canais de cálcio e neuromoduladores anticonvulsivantes. Os medicamentos específicos utilizados no tratamento de crises de dor de cabeça são triptanos ou agonistas do receptor serotoninérgico 5-HT1B/1D, ditans ou agonistas do receptor 5-HT1F e gepants ou antagonistas do receptor CGRP. Conclusão: Os medicamentos tradicionais utilizados no tratamento preventivo ou abortivo da enxaqueca são considerados eficazes. Através da modulação dos mecanismos da doença, há redução na frequência, intensidade e duração das crises de cefaleia, e também na incapacidade causada pela cefaleia. Tudo isso para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. As classes terapêuticas de medicamentos tradicionais utilizados na prevenção da enxaqueca são betabloqueadores, antidepressivos tricíclicos, antagonistas ou bloqueadores dos canais de cálcio e neuromoduladores anticonvulsivantes. Os medicamentos específicos utilizados no tratamento de crises de cefaleia são triptanos ou agonistas do receptor serotoninérgico 5-HT1B/1D, ditans ou agonistas do receptor 5-HT1F e gepants ou antagonistas do receptor CGRP.

ABSTRACT

@#[Objective] To construct a Nomogram model for the prediction of essential hypertension (EH) risks with the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements principles in conjunction with cutting-edge biochemical detection technologies. [Methods] A case-control study was conducted, involving 301 patients with essential hypertension in the hypertensive group and 314 without in the control group. Comprehensive data, including the information on the four TCM diagnoses, general data, and blood biochemical indicators of participants in both groups, were collected separately for analysis. The differentiation principles of syndrome elements were used to discern the location and nature of hypertension. One-way analysis was carried out to screen for potential risk factors of the disease. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to identify factors that contribute significantly to the model, and eliminate possible collinearity problems. At last, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to both screen and quantify independent risk factors essential for the prediction model. The “rms” package in the R Studio was used to construct the Nomogram model, creating line segments of varying lengths based on the contribution of each risk factor to aid in the prediction of risks of hypertension. For internal model validation, the Bootstrap program package was utilized to perform 1000 repetitions of sampling and generate calibration curves. [Results] The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk factors of EH included age, heart rate (HR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), uric acid (UA) levels, family medical history, sleep patterns (early awakening and light sleep), water intake, and psychological traits (depression and anger). Additionally, TCM syndrome elements such as phlegm, Yin deficiency, and Yang hyperactivity contributed to the risk of EH onset as well. TCM syndrome elements liver, spleen, and kidney were also considered the risk factors of EH. Next, the Nomogram model was constructed using the aforementioned 14 risk predictors, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.868 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) ranging from 0.840 to 0.895. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were found to be 80.7% and 85.0%, respectively. Internal validation confirmed the model’s robust predictive performance, with aconsistency index (C-index) of 0.879, underscoring the model’s strong predictive ability. [Conclusion] By integrating TCM syndrome elements, the Nomogram model has realized the objective, qualitative, and quantitative selection of early warning factors for developing EH, resulting in the creation of a more comprehensive and precise prediction model for EH risks.

ABSTRACT

Based on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories of holism, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and preventive treatment of disease, the concept of whole course management of tumors throughout the treatment process is advocated. The strategy includes preventive treatment before tumor therapy, focusing on protecting the body's vital qi and strengthening the spleen and Qi. TCM formulas such as Sijunzi Decoction (四君子汤), Shenling Baizhu San (参苓白术散) and Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction(香砂六君子汤) are used to enhance platelet reserves. The main therapeutic methods during tumor conventional therapy include preventing disease transformation and strengthening vital qi to eliminate pathogenic factor, by invigorating spleen and soothing liver, nourishing liver and kidney, purging fire for removing toxin, and removing blood stasis for promoting tissue regeneration. TCM formulas such as Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (香砂六君子汤), Shenling Baizhu Powder (参苓白术散), Fuzi Lizhong Decoction (附子理中汤), Zhibai Dihuang Decoction (知柏地黄汤), and Qiangen Powder (茜根散)are used to reduce platelet destruction and depletion during tumor therapy and reverse the worsening trend. After tumor conventional therapy, the focus is on preventing relapse, adjusting the balance of Yin and Yang, by nourishing the kidneys, spleen, and lungs. TCM formulas such as Dingkun Pill (定坤丹)and Zuogui Pill (左归丸) are used with modifications to prevent thrombocytopenia. The staged prevention and treatment of tumor treatment-induced thrombocytopenia using TCM can maximize the benefits for patients.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La migraña es un trastorno muy prevalente que afecta a alrededor del 15% de los sujetos adultos. Es clasificada por la Organización Mundial de la Saludentre los primeros puestos como causa de discapacidad. Los tratamientos preventivos habituales hasta ahora derivan de otras indicaciones y por serendipia se utilizan en prevención de migraña: betabloqueantes, drogas antiepilépticas, antidepresivos tricíclicos, bloquean tes de canales de calcio, toxina botulínica. Todas ellas han mostrado eficacia similar al 50% en reducir el número de episodios migrañosos pese a efectos secundarios indeseados. Durante los últimos años, se ha evaluado la eficacia y seguridad de los anticuerpos monoclonales (AM) que actúan sobre la vía del péptido relacionado con el gen de la calcitonina (CGRP) en migraña. Dicho péptido es relevante en la activación del dolor en territorio meníngeoy es mediado por terminales nerviosas trigeminales una vez activado el proceso migrañoso. Su dosaje en crisis migrañosas ha sido elevado en diversos estudios y su neutralización/bloqueo, redunda en alivio del dolor. Los anticuerpos monoclonales erenumab, galcanezumab, fremanezumab, eptinezumab aprobados en el mercado EE.UU./Europa desde 2018 y tras varios trabajos de Fase III y abiertos de extensión, mostraron clara seguridad yeficacia y están presentes en nuestro medio desde mediados de 2019. Desarrollamos la racionalidad e indicaciones de uso de los mismos.


Abstract Migraine is a very prevalent disorder that is estimated to affect about 10-15% of adult subjects. Ac cording to the World Health Organization migraine is one of the first causes of disability. Traditional preventive treatments discovered by serendipity include Beta blockers, antinconvulsants drugs, calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants and onabotulinum A and offer about 50% efficacy after controlled placebo trials and real life use. Because of lack of adherence and adverse events, there is a loss of beneficial sustain on these treat ments. Recently, the efficacy and safety of monoclonal antibodies (MA) that act on the peptide pathway related to the calcitonin gene (CGRP) has been evaluated in migraine, being the first specific tailored treatment on one of the multiple targets on migraine. This family of drugs: erenumab, galcanezumab, fremanezumab, eptinezumab, finished Fase III, extensions trials and many of them are in the market approved since 2018.Since 2019 are available in Argentina. We will describe the rationale for the prescription of this family of new drugs for migraine.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To analyze the causes and preventive measures of lipemic blood in voluntary blood donors. 【Methods】 Data of 12 000 voluntary blood donors donated at our blood station from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence, discarding rate and causes of lipemic blood were investigated, and preventive measures were formulated. 【Results】 384(3.20%) out of the 12 000 blood samples were lipemic blood, while mild, moderate and severe lipemic blood constituted 181, 148 and 55 cases, respectively. The incidence of lipoemia in males(4.22%) was higher than that in females(1.52%). The incidence of lipoemia in 26~45 and 36~45 age population was 4.75%, which was higher than that in 18~25 age group(0.62%). The incidence of lipoemia was the lowest in donors with mass index(kg/m2) <18.5, followed by 18.5~24.9 and >30 (P<0.05). The incidence of lipemic blood among first-time blood donors(4.38%) was higher than that in repeated donors(2.31%), higher in blood donation collected during 13: 00 to 17: 00(3.54%) than 9: 00 to 12: 00 a. m.(2.73%), also higher in group blood donors(4.01%) than street blood donors(1.56%)(P<0.05). The free Hb of red blood cells in moderate and severe group was higher than that in mild group immediate after preparation and 7 days after preparation (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 There was a significant tendency for the incidence of lipemic blood in voluntary blood donors, which causes blood discarding. The publicity of blood donation, pre-donation consultation and advice on reasonable diet should be boosted to reduce the discarding rate of lipemic blood and improve the use of blood.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La infección por malaria durante el embarazo es un importante problema de salud en la mayoría de las regiones tropicales. Esta condición puede tener incidencia negativa tanto en la gestante como en el feto. Objetivo: Indagar en el impacto del tratamento preventivo intermitente con el medicamento antimalárico sulfadoxina-pirimetamina en la mujer embarazada. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en la base de datos Medline/Pub Med y en artículos relevantes relacionados al tema de los últimos cinco años. Además, se tomó como referencia las guías para el tratamiento de malaria de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, verisón 2016-2017. Análisis y síntesis de los resultados: Durante el período 2015-2017 no se lograron avances significativos en la reducción del número de enfermos palúdicos. No obstante, se señala la anemia como causa de mortalidad en el curso de la malaria. También, se destacan los nuevos enfoques y compromisos para reducir la morbilidad atribuible al paludismo en la mujer embarazada en sus tres vertientes: tratamiento eficaz de los casos de paludismo, el uso de mosquiteros tratados con insecticidas, y la utilización del tratamiento preventivo intermitente con el antimalárico sulfadoxina-pirimetamina a partir del segundo trimestre del embarazo. La indicación de este tratamiento inlcuye mínimo dos dosis del fármaco antipalúdico, con un intervalo de un mes entre cada dosis, con independencia de que las embarazadas muestren o no síntomas de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: Esta intervención para prevenir el paludismo en el embarazo es una cuestión prioritaria en la iniciativa de salud materna, infantil y reproductiva; además, ayuda a mejorar y aumentar la cobertura de las medidas de control de esta enfermedad durante la gestación(AU)


Introduction: Malaria infection during pregnancy is an important health problem in most tropical regions. This condition may have a negative incidence on pregnant women and fetuses. Objective: Inquire into the effect of the intermittent preventive treatment with the malarial sulfadoxine / pyrimethamine in pregnant women. Methods: A bibliographic review was conducted in the database Medline / PubMed and in relevant papers about the topic published in the last five years. The Guidelines for the Treatment of Malaria 2016-2017 of the World Health Organization were also used as reference. Analysis and synthesis of results: Significant progress was not achieved in reducing the number of malaria patients in the period 2015-2017. However, anemia is reported as the cause of mortality during the course of malaria. New approaches and commitments are proposed to reduce malaria-related morbidity among pregnant women, namely effective treatment of malaria cases, use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, and intermittent preventive treatment with the antimalarial sulfadoxine / pyrimethamine as of the second quarter of pregnancy. Indication of this treatment includes at least two doses of the malarial, with a separation of one month between the doses, regardless of whether the pregnant women have symptoms of the disease. Conclusions: The intervention to prevent malaria during pregnancy is a first-priority aspect of the mother, child, reproductive health initiative. It also helps improve and broaden the coverage of measures for the control of this disease during pregnancy(AU)

ABSTRACT

El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) es una alteración del neurodesarrollo de base biológica que iniciado en la infancia puede persistir durante la adolescencia-juventud y, a pesar de lo que se pensaba hasta hace no muchos años, también en la edad adulta hasta en un 50-60% de los afectados, produciendo un notable deterioro clínico y psicosocial. A pesar de tratarse de un síndrome fácilmente identificable por la triada: desatención, hiperactividad e impulsividad que le caracteriza, en la práctica clínica existen diferentes circunstancias que dificultan y complican su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Una de las más significativas es la presencia, tanto en la infancia como en la edad adulta, de otros trastornos mentales comórbidos. Es a partir de la adolescencia-juventud cuando junto al TDAH podemos detectar la presencia de trastornos de la personalidad, trastornos del estado de ánimo, trastornos de ansiedad y muy especialmente trastornos por uso de sustancias. Las evidencias existentes hasta el presente muestran como la comorbilidad del TDAH y el trastorno por uso de sustancias influyen en el curso evolutivo de ambos, complicando el abordaje, el tratamiento y consecuentemente agravando el pronóstico final. Las dificultades en su abordaje y la escasez de opciones de tratamiento nos hacen subrayar la importancia del tratamiento preventivo en la etapa infantil a partir de programas de psicoeducación centrados en la vulnerabilidad de estos pacientes a las sustancias y las consecuencias asociadas al consumo.


Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental alteration of biological basis that started in childhood may persist during adolescence-youth and, despite what was believed until not many years ago, also in adulthood up to 50-60% of those affected, producing a significant clinical and psychosocial deterioration. In spite of being a syndrome easily identifiable by the triad: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that characterizes it, in clinical practice there are different circumstances that hinder and complicate its diagnosis and treatment. One of the most significant is the presence, both in childhood and adulthood, of other comorbid mental disorders. It is from adolescence-youth when together with ADHD we can detect the presence of personality, mood and anxiety disorders and especially the use of several substances. The evidences existing until now show how the comorbidity of ADHD and substance use disorder influence the evolutionary course of both, complicating the approach, the treatment and, therefore, aggravating the final prognosis. The difficulties in their approach and the scarcity of treatment options make us underline the importance of preventive treatment in the infantile stage, starting from psychoeducation programs focused on the vulnerability of these patients to substances and the consequences associated with consumption.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the efficacy of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine (SP) against sensitive parasites. Methods: A pharmacological model was used to investigate the effectiveness of the previous recommended at least two-dose regimen, currently recommended three-dose regimen and 4, 6, 8-weekly regimens with specific focus on the impact of various non-adherence patterns in multiple transmission settings. Results: The effectiveness of the recommended three-dose regimen is high in all the transmission intensities, i.e. >99%, 98% and 92% in low, moderate and high transmission intensities respectively. The simulated 4 and 6 weekly IPTp-SP regimens were able to prevent new infections with sensitive parasites in almost all women (>99%) regardless of transmission intensity. However, 8 weekly interval dose schedules were found to have 71% and 86% protective efficacies in high and moderate transmission areas, respectively. It highlights that patients are particularly vulnerable to acquiring new infections if IPTp-SP doses are missed. Conclusions: The pharmacological model predicts that full adherence to the currently recommended three-dose regimen should provide almost complete protection from malaria infection in moderate and high transmission regions. However, it also highlights that patients are particularly vulnerable to acquiring new infections if IPTp doses are spaced too widely or if doses are missed. Adherence to the recommended IPTp-SP schedules is recommended.

La caries dental es tan antigua como la humanidad misma, es considerada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como el primer problema de salud bucal, su incremento se ha asociado al desarrollo social y a las variaciones en los hábitos dietéticos de las poblaciones. En estudios realizados en los últimos años, se ha determinado una tendencia a la disminución de esta enfermedad. El problema fundamental en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la caries dental es la decisión de cuándo y cómo obturar un diente afectado por caries. El objetivo primario es ampliar la visión sobre las posibilidades terapéuticas y profundizar en los conocimientos teóricos y prácticos sobre los tratamientos preventivos, curativos no invasivos e invasivos utilizados contra la caries dental. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de textos impresos y búsqueda en internet sobre caries dental, frecuencia y conducta adecuada por parte los estomatólogos generales. Se concluye que todo estomatólogo general, debe conocer la importancia de la promoción y la prevención permanente en los pacientes para evitar las caries dentales, así como las indicaciones, técnica de empleo y los requisitos para aplicar en la práctica diaria, los materiales restaurativos(AU)


Dental caries is as old as human race, it is considered by the World Health Organization as the first oral health problem, its increase has been associated with social development and variations in dietary habits of populations. In studies carried out in recent years, a tendency to decrease this disease has been determined. The fundamental problem in the diagnosis and treatment of dental caries is the decision of when and how to seal a tooth affected by caries. The primary objective is to broaden the vision of the therapeutic possibilities and to deepen the theoretical and practical knowledge about preventive, non-invasive and invasive curative treatments used against dental caries. A literature review of printed texts and internet search on dental caries, frequency and appropriate behavior of general stomatologists was carried out. It is concluded that every general stomatologist should know the importance of the promotion and permanent prevention in patients to avoid tooth decay, as well as the indications, technique of use and requirements to apply restorative materials in daily practice.

ABSTRACT

With the development of social economy,people's demand for health services is growing rapidly. As health resource with Chinese characteristics,health food containing Chinese materia medica have broad prospect and great market space for development.However,at present,there are still many problems of health food containing Chinese materia media in the research,development,evaluation and market application. In addition,due to lack of theoretical support of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) in the research and development of health food containing Chinese materia media,blurred boundaries between health food containing Chinese materia media and other health products as well as TCM are present,lacking of TCM characteristics. In the evaluation process of health food containing Chinese materia media,the construction of functional food laws,regulations and evaluation norms is relatively lagging behind,which can't meet the needs of health food containing Chinese materia media research and development,severely restricting the development of health food containing Chinese materia media. Based on the research and evaluation of health food containing Chinese materia media,the existing problems were reviewed and the reasons for the deficiencies were analyzed in this paper. Guided by the theory of TCM,based on the constitution identification in TCM,and combined with modern scientific and technological means,a new research and development mode of functional food was put forward in this paper to distinguish health food containing Chinese materia media from TCM as well as general health products. Nevertheless,we should ensure the vitality of Chinese medicine health products with original thinking and scientific and technological connotations,and accelerate the harmonious,rapid and sustainable development of Chinese medicine health industry.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore effective treatments that can alleviate postoperative complications in patients with procedure for prolapsed and hemorrhoids (PPH).@*METHODS@#Sixty patients with pre-mixed hemorrhoids PPH were randomly divided into a simple operation group and a preoperative electroacupuncture intervention group, 30 cases in each group. PPH routine treatment was given in the simple operation group. Electroacupuncture (EA) was applied at point 30 min before PPH in the preoperative electroacupuncture intervention group, and EA was applied at Ciliao (BL 32) and Xialiao (BL 34) for 30 min. The scores of anus pendant, pain degree and persistent time and first urination time were compared within 24 h after operation between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#The scores of anal pendant and pain degree in the 6 h, 12 h, 18 h, the persistent time of anal pendant and pain degree within 24 h and first urination time were better in the preoperative electroacupuncture intervention group than those in the simple operation group, and there were statistically significant differences (all <0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Electroacupuncture at point 30 min before PPH can not only decrease the degrees of anal pendant and pain in the 6 h, 12 h, 18 h, but also shorten the persistent time of anal pendant and pain within 24 h after surgery and promote the first urination.

ABSTRACT

Based on the systematic summary of the results of the fourth general survey of traditional Chinese medicine resources, the cultivation of large varieties of Chinese material medica and the latest research on health industrial development, the novel concepts and scientific connotations of generalized science of Chinese material medica are put forward, and the basic ideas and methods of a new Chinese medicine academic system, the cultivation system of large varieties of Chinese medicinal materials and the application system of the large health industry are constructed. This kind of generalized science of Chinese material medica, rooted in the traditional Chinese culture and the theory of "preventive treatment of disease", can avoid the narrow prospect induced by the increasing specialization and refinement of knowledge of science of Chinese material medica. It will play an important role in the modernization, industrialization, internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Intervention methods included medicine treatment, TCM treatment, health management, diet, sports rehabilitation, psychological rehabilitation, etc., and medicine treatment was the main method. The evaluation criteria mostly adopted disease efficacy evaluation criteria. The constituent indicators mainly included syndrome symptom indicators, biological indicators, scale evaluation indicators, and outcome indicators. The most common were syndrome/symptoms/signs (77.66%). Conclusion The clinical application of TCM "preventive treatment of diseases"is widely used. At present, problems, such as few research reports on healthy people, diverse intervention methods but lack of evidence-based evidence, evaluation indicators the same as disease evaluation index system, and lagging effect evaluation standard still exist.
