In recent years, the fields of Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and integrative medicine have made rapid advances in basic and clinical research into chronic liver disease, and accumulated new evidence for the prevention and treatment of hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, in order to meet clinical needs, liver disease experts of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine were united to revise the previous guidelines in order to help physicians make correct and reasonable decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic fibrosis.展开更多

Methods： Two hundred and twenty-two patients in total, diagnosed as stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colorectal cancer from February 2000 to March 2006, were recruited from Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and the General Hospital of Beijing Military Area. They were followed-up once every 3-6 months. Twenty cases dropped out from the cohort. The remaining 202 patients were all treated with routine WM treatment [including R0 radical operation, or chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy according to national comprehensive cancer network （NCCN） clinical guidelines]. These patients were assigned to two groups based on whether or not they were additionally treated with TCM comprehensive therapy （orally administered with a decoction according to syndrome differentiation, combined with a traditional patent drug over one year）. Ninety-eight patients from Xiyuan Hospital were treated with WM and TCM （combined group）, and 104 patients from the General Hospital of Beijing Military Area were treated with WM alone （WM group）. The demographic data at baseline were comparable, including the operation times, age, sex, TNM staging, and pathological types. The patients were followed-up for one to five years. Up to now, there are 98, 98, 77, 64, and 47 patients with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years of follow-up in the combined group, respectively; and 104, 104, 97, 81, and 55 patients in the WM group, respectively. The results of the 5-year follow-up of all the patients will be available in 2011. Results： The relapse/metastasis rate of 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year were 0 （0/98）, 2.04% （2/98）, 11.69% （9/77）, 14.06% （9/64）, and 21.28% （10/47） in the combined group, and were 4.80%（5/104）, 16.35% （17/104）, 21.65% （21/97）, 25.93% （21/81）, and 38.18%（21/55） in the WM group, respectively. A significant difference was found in the second year between the two groups （X^2=12.117, P = 0.000）. Median relapse/metastasis time was 26.5 months in the combined group and 16.0 months in the WM group. Conclusion： The combined therapy of TCM and WM may have great clinical value and a potential for decreasing the relapse or metastasis rate in stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colorectal cancer after conventional WM therapy.展开更多

The present paper is a brief retrospection on the progress in treatment of PCOS caused infertility with integrative Chinese and Western medicine （ICWM）. It can be seen from these materials that using traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） recipes formulated by Shen-replenishing herbs or acupuncture to reinforce Gan-Shen, regulate Chong-Ren Channels in treating PCOS, stable clinical efficacy could be obtained, with less adverse reaction, though the effect initiated somewhat late. Whereas, when Shen-replenishing recipe and acupuncture are combined with hormone or ovulation promoting drugs of Western medicine, the above-mentioned shortcomings would be overcome. So, this combined therapy is frequently used in clinical practice.展开更多
