Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction Promotes Angiogenesis Through the Rab1/AT1R Pathway in Diabetes Mellitus Complicated With Cerebral Infarction.

Fuyuan Xingnao decoction (FYXN), a traditional Chinese formula comprised of seven herbs, has been utilized to treat diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction (DMCI) for years. Yet, its protective and regulatory mechanism is poorly understood. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of FYXN on DMCI and , as well as its mechanism in angiogenesis.

Treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia with multi-drug resistant organism by Buzhong Yiqi decoction based on Fuzheng Quxie classical prescription: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Drug resistance in China is becoming a more and more serious issue. Infection by drug-resistant bacteria has become a major disease that seriously threatens the health of Chinese people and affects national medical finance. Therefore, it is of great scientific and clinical significance to actively carry out research on the prevention and treatment of infections by multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO).

Endogenous sex hormone levels and coronary heart disease risk in postmenopausal women: A meta-analysis of prospective studies.

Background Low testosterone levels have been associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity and mortality in men, but the influence of hormones in postmenopausal women is unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to examine whether there is an association between endogenous sex hormones and CHD risk in postmenopausal women. Methods A systematic search of the PubMed and EMBASE databases from 1966 to 30 November 2016 was performed for prospective studies that reported an association between endogenous sex hormones and CHD in postmenopausal women.

Soy Consumption with Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

Background: The association of soy product consumption with the relative risk of cardiovascular disease remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed at investigating whether an association exists between soy consumption and the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) in observational studies.

Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed and EMBASE databases was performed for case-control and cohort studies that assessed soy consumption and the risk of stroke and CHD.

[Preliminary exploration on effect of qilian decoction in intervention treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 with insulin resistance and its influence on related inflammatory cytokines].

Objective: To observe the synergistic effect of Qilian decoction (QLD) with corresponding hypoglycemic agents on insulin sensitivity in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and its influence on related inflammatory cytokines.

Methods: Sixty-two patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, they were treated with hypoglycemic agent in routine, and QLD was given orally, one dose taken in twice a day. Parameters as fasting blood glucose, insulin, peptide C, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6) were measured before and after treatment, and insulin sensitive index (ISI) was also calculated.
