ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of combined therapy of Fuyuan Huoxue decoction and transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma. Methods 80 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma were randomly divided into a control group, treated by transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization, and a treatment group, additionally treated by Fuyuan Huoxue decoction on the basis of the control group. By observing the change of gross tumor volume、tumor markers、clinical symptoms、Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS) score、quality of life and so on,compare the clinical effects and quality of life between the two groups. Results The effective rate of solid tumor was 47.50%and 35%in the treatment and the control group respectively, with no significant difference(χ2=-1.229, P>0.05);The total effect rate was 87.50%and 32.50%in the treatment and the control group respectively, with significant difference(χ2=-5.633, P0.05);The accumulated scores change of quality of life(QOL) has asignificant difference(χ2=-3.025, P<0.05) between the two groups after the treatment. Conclusion The combined therapy of Fuyuan Huoxue decoction and transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization can alleviate the clinical symptoms, improve treatment effects and quality of life of patients with primary hepatic carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Incidence of cancer is increasing year by year,diagnostic techniques are continually advanced,and the numbers of anti-cancer drugs are growing,but the efficacy has not been fundamentally improved.Surgery,chemotherapy and radiotherapy can only kill the part of mature tumor cells,but can not kill the cancer stem cells,and eventually leading to tumor recurrence.While acupuncture,qigong,psychology comprehensive treatment can inhibit tumor growth and reduce metastasis and recurrence,improve quality of life and prolong survival.We should update our recognition,to carry out the study on the treatment of tumor by TCM with large sample and multiple centers,to demonstrate its low toxicity,low costs and efficiency.

ABSTRACT
The chief cause of cancerous pain include six climate exopathogens,internal damage by excess of seven emotions,improper diet and deficiency of vital qi.Accumulation of cancerous toxin,intermingled phlegm and blood stasis and obstruction of meridians are the basic pathogenesis of cancerous pain,among which the accumulation of cancerous toxin is the key point of the pathogenesis,and phlegm and blood stasis are main pathological factors,the both are cause and effect for each other.The deficiency of vital qi is the internal factor of the disease.The location of disease concerns the relative viscera and meridians.The nature of disease is deficiency in the "root" and excess in the "branch" and excess in the "branch" is the main aspect.The therapeutic rules of the disease are removing toxic substance and removing stasis,resolving phlegm to dredge collaterals.And removing cancerous toxin is the crux of the therapy,and resolving phlegm to removing stasis should be applied from the beginning to the end.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of integrated treatment of Chinese and western medicine on muhiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).Methods:129 cases of MODS were treated by syndrome differentiation of TCM with the“four syndrome and four methods”based on the routine western medicine treatment from 1997 to 2003,and their therapeutic effects were evaluated. Results:Of the 129 cases,75 were cured and 54 died,the mortality being 41.9%.After treatment of TCM,the state of illness of the patients were ameliorated,the level of blood endotoxin decreased and the clinical syndrome improved.Conclusion:Integrated with western medicine,the“four syndrome and four methods”has obvious therapeutic effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical effect of combination therapy under the theory of "treating soft tissue for bone disease" on knee osteoarthritis.Methods The 160 cases were randomly divided into control group(80 cases) and experimental group(80 cases).The control group was treated by diclofenac sodium sustained release capsules(per os) and sodium hyaluronate(intra-joint injection).The experimental group was treated by traction,steaming and washing,massage,needle-knife therapy,manipulation on soft tissues for loosening the joint,and orthepedic insoles.The course of treatment was 3 weeks.The effect was evaluated according to Lysholm Score,knee movement and subjective satisfaction after the follow-up for 6 months.Results Of the 154 cases completed the study(control group 75 cases and experimental group 79 cases),the Lysholm Score and knee movement had a very significant improvement(P
