RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of hyperthyroidism decoction on thyroid hormone and thyroid pathological changes of ex-perimental hyperthyroid rats. Methods 40 rats were randomly divided into four groups: Normal group,hyperthyreosis model group, western drugs control group and hyperthyroidism decoction group. The model rats were constructed by drenching Youjiale. Hyperthyroidism decoction group were given hyperthyroidism decoction of respective dosage, western drugs control group were given propylthiouracil. The serum contents of T3, T4, FT3, FT4 and TSH were determined by radio-immunity method, the thyroid pathological changes effected by hyperthyroidism de-coction were observed. Results Compared with model group, the contents of serum T3, T4, FT3, FT4, of hyperthyroidism decoction group were decreased, while the contents of serum TSH were increased. Hyperthyroidism decoction may improve thyroid pathological changes of ex-perimental hyperthyroid rats. Conclusion Hyperthyroidism decoction can effectively improve the thyroid function of experimental hyperthy-roid rats.
RESUMO
Objective To observe clinical effect of treating advanced laryngeal carcinoma with chemotherapy combined with reinforcing-qi-nourishing-yin herbs. Methods 36 patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma were randomly recurited into a control group and a treatment group. The control group was treated with chemotherapy, and the treatment group was treated with chemotherapy combined with reinforcing-qi-nourishing-yin herbs. The clinical effect was observed in both groups. Results The total effective rate in the treatment group and the control group was 82.6% and 63.6%, respectively. There was a significant dieffference between two groups (X2=0.0285, P<0.05 ). Conclusion The treatment of chemotherapy combined with reinforcing-qi-nourishing-yin herbs on advanced laryngeal carcinoma is better than chemotherapy.
RESUMO
[Objective] To search a reasonable approach to the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NC) with traditional Chinese medicine integrated with western medicine. [ Methods ] Seventy - six cases of NC were randomized into Group A and Group B. Group A ( n = 39) was treated with herbs for activating blood and removing blood - stasis, nourishing yin and clearing heat during radiotherapy and herbs for replenishing qi and nourishing yin, generating body fluid, moistening dryness and clearing heat after radiotherapy. Group B ( n = 37) was treated with radiotherapy alone. Short - term therapeutic effect, long - term survival rate, the relief of main symptoms, the reduction of cervical lymph node metastasis and side effect of radiotherapy in the two groups were observed. [ Results ] After treatment, the complete relief (CR) rate was 84.6% and 15.4% and partial relief (PR) rate was 73.0% and 27.0% in Group A and B respectively, the differences being significant ( P
