[Clinical study on relationship among Heart-Qi Deficiency, left ventricular function and myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary heart disease].

Objective: To study the relationship among Heart-Qi Deficiency (HQD), left ventricular function and myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).

Methods: Doppler echocardiogram, electrocardiogram were used to observe 103 patients of CHD clinically. Patients of stable angina pectoris treated with Radix Codonopsitis Pilosulae (50 cases) or Nifedipine (20 cases) were observed as well.

TCM stage differentiation treatment of diabetic gangrene--an observation on microcirculatory changes.

Microcirculatory changes and therapeutic effects in 39 non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) cases were evaluated. Under the same basic treatment in both groups, the treatment group (21 cases) was treated with TCM drugs according to its stages and compared with the control group (18 cases, treated with 654-2). The results showed that the microcirculatory cumulative scores were significantly decreased in both groups (P < 0.

[Effect of shashen maidong decoction on gastric motility in vivo].

Effect of Shashen Maidong Decoction (SSMDD) on the gastric motility of mice and rats was observed in vivo. Results showed that the gastric phenol red excretion rate of mice could be reduced markedly by SSMDD given in various dosages (23 g.kg-1.

[Quantitative determination of ursolic acid in folium Ilicis cornutae (gouguye) gathered in different and periods].

The content of ursolic acid in Folium Ilicis Cornutae (Gouguye) gathered in different periods from Yongfeng county of Jiangxi province was determined by TLCS method. The result shows that the content appears to be low in samples gathered in April, but about the same in samples of February, June, August, October and December.

[Study of anti-cerebral thromboembolism injection's activity on experimental arterial thrombosis and its therapeutical mechanism].

Anti-Cerebral Thromboembolism Injection (ACTI), applied intravenously in Cattaneo's animal model of arterial thrombosis, could significantly reduce the weight of thrombus, blood viscosities, plasma TXB2 level and delay the prothrombin time, compared to control group (P < 0.05). From this trial, it was indicated that ACTI's reducing thrombosis action was the result of inhibiting aggregation and releasing of platelets through reducing whole blood viscosities and TXB2 level.

[Clinical and experimental study on codonopsis pilosula oral liquor in treating coronary heart disease with blood stasis].

The effects of Codonopsis pilosula oral liquor (CPOL) on tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) in the plasma of 25 patients of coronary heart disease with blood stasis were studied. It has been shown that those patients had a significant decrease in t-PA activity (P < 0.01) compared to healthy subjects.

[Effects of Astragalus membranaceus on left ventricular function and oxygen free radical in acute myocardial infarction patients and mechanism of its cardiotonic action].

Dynamic observations for 4 weeks were made on left ventricular function and oxygen free radical (OFR) in 43 patients first suffering from acute myocardial infarction and hospitalized in Coronary Care Unit with an attack less than 36 hours. The results showed that the Astragalus membranaceus (AM) could strengthen the left ventricular function and had an effect of anti-OFR. After administration of AM, the ratio of pre-ejection period/left ventricular ejection time (PEP/LVET) was decreased, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of red blood cell was increased, and the lipid peroxidation (LPO) content of plasma was reduced.

[Preliminary study on pathophysiology of liver-qi deficiency syndrome].

The authors advocate a program for diagnosing Liver-Qi Deficiency Syndrome (LQDS) based on the TCM theory and clinical practice. Through investigation, LQDS was found to be widely existed as latent period or as external manifestation, which occupied 18.85% in Qi Deficiency Syndrome.

[Effect of xiaopiling granules on muscular histochemistry of gastric precancerous changes in rats].

The effect of Xiaopiling Granules on muscular histochemistry of gastric precancerous changes in rats was observed quantitatively. The activity of SDH and M-ATPase as well as the content of muscular glycogen in model groups were found significantly lower than those of the normal groups (p < 0.01), and in this decrease Xiaopiling Granules had markedly played a preventive and therapeutic role.

[Observation of electroencephalogram spectrum changes over one year of Qigong training].

Using spectrum analysis method, the electroencephalogram (EEG) changes of the students who first learned Zhanzhuang Qigong in comparing with the students who did not practice at all were observed, over a period of one year. The results showed that the spectrum of EEG did not change significantly after half year training, but one year later, the alpha index of right frontal and right temporal regions decreased significantly (P < 0.05), and the beta index of right frontal and right temporal regions decreased significantly (P < 0.

[Three-dimensional motion of the radial artery and attributes of position, rhythm, shape and variance of pulse diagnosis].

Unlabelled: In using the sophisticated colour Doppler image-forming technique, and analysis with the self-made cardioelectric phasic mark fixed point as well as the limb minus/plus pressure bathtub, 44 healthy youths were observed.

The Results: (1) The superficial arteries in the limbs have their motion forms of radial expansion, axial extension and axis shifting. (2) These three motions, together with the pulsation present periodical changes.

[Effects of shenyan yiqiye on experimental membranous glomerulonephritis in rabbits].

The cationic bovine serum albumin (C-BSA) was used for duplicating experimental animal model of membranous glomerulonephritis with chronic renal failure. Shenyan Yiqiye (SYYQY) was adopted for treatment. The results showed that, in the therapeutic group, the urine protein and serum creatinine were reduced as compared with those in pathological group, P < 0.
