Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of foot baths using Tangbi Waixi Decoction for patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) through a multicenter double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
- A total of 632 patients participated, receiving either a high or low dose of herbal treatment for two weeks, with results showing improvements in nerve function and reduced pain scores in both groups after 12 weeks.
- However, the lower dose was found to be more effective than the higher dose, and overall, there were no significant differences in adverse events between the treatment and control groups, indicating the treatment was safe.
Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the effectiveness of laser therapy (LT) in managing diabetic foot wound ulcers (DFWU), analyzing 1357 studies and selecting 26 with a total of 1067 patients.
- Results showed that LT led to significantly greater reductions in ulcer size and higher complete healing rates compared to control groups, with a notable decrease in ulcer sizes (mean difference of 17.04) and nearly tripled healing rates (odds ratio of 2.88).
- However, caution is advised in interpreting these results due to the low sample sizes of the studies included in the analysis.

Objective: To explore the inhibition of Tangtong Recipe (TTR) on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in rat model of diabetes mellitus using seropharmacological and modern molecular biological technologies.
Methods: The drug-serum of TTR was prepared by feeding pure-breed New Zealand rabbits at various doses (18 mL/kg, 13 mL/kg, and 8 mL/kg) of TTR, and used to intervene the VSMCs get from the iliac artery of diabetic model rats cultured by tissue block plantation. The impact of drug-serum on VSMCs proliferation was estimated through measuring tritiated thymine deoxy-ribonucleotide (3H-TDR) incorporation using liquid-scintillation detector, and the cell cycle was detected using flow cytometry.

Unlabelled: OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of Jiangtang Bushen Recipe (JBR) on inflammatory cytokines in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and explore its therapeutic mechanism. METHODS Sixty-four patients with T2DM were randomly divided into the treated group (n = 34) and the control group (n = 30). Education course, dietary treatment and conventional hypoglycemic agent were given to both groups, and JBR, mainly composed of Cibot Rhizome, Radix Dipsaci, Glossy Privet Fruit; Ecliptae Herba, Radicis Lycii, Radix Astragali, Rehmannia Dride Rhizome, etc.
