Objective: To describe a protocol to assess the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) showing symptoms of phlegm-heat-stasis symptom pattern.
Methods: This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial that will be conducted in the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of TCM and 60 patients with CHD showing phlegm-heat-stasis symptom pattern will be included. Patients will be randomly divided into either a treatment group (Qingre Huatan formulae + Western Medicine) or to a control group (conventional Western Medicine only) for 7-14 d. Primary patient outcomes will be vascular endothelial function and quality of life. Measurement data will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation using t-test analysis or repeated-measure variance analysis. Enumeration data will be expressed by cases and percentages, using χ2 analysis, and rank sum test will be used for ranked data.
Results: This study further verified the effectiveness and safety of Qingre Huatan formulae for the phlegm-heat-stasis syndrome pattern of CHD on the basis of previous studies on the characteristics of syndromes and medication rules.
Discussion: Phlegm-heat-stasis symptom pattern has become a common manifestation in CHD. Standardized Western medications together with TCM have been extensively used in China and have developed into a comprehensive treatment model. Our trial will help formulate recommendations for symptom maintenance and provide clinical evidence for the application of TCM for patients with CHD showing phlegm-heat-stasis symptom pattern.

Objective: To study the correlation between essential elements of Chinese medicine syndrome (EECMS) and the lung function in patients with acute aggravating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AACOPD).
Methods: Adopting clinical epidemiological method, the Chinese medicine syndrome of 199 AACOPD patients with various grades of the lung function was differentiated, and EECMS in them were picked up, summarized and analyzed statistically.
Results: Along with the deteriorating of the lung ventilation, the EECMS of disease-position was progressed correspondingly, i.
