Symptoms associated with nucleic acid turning-negative-time in COVID-19 patients?

Unlabelled: To explore on the association between nucleic acid turning-negative-time and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with the Omicron variant.

Method: For this retrospective cross-sectional study, we enrolled 189 patients with COVID-19 (age 20-90 years) were included. multiple linear regression models were used to investigate the TCM symptoms affecting the nucleic acid turning-negative-time of COVID-19 patients, during the process of data analysis, taking with nucleic acid turning-negative-time as the dependent variable, and TCM symptoms as independent variables, and at the same time, sex, age, hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease were as confounding variables.

Guanxinjing capsule in the treatment of chronic stable angina: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Stable angina is a common cardiovascular disease with high mortality and a poor prognosis. Although there are various interventions against stable angina, none are able to significantly reduce the mortality rate. Guanxinjing capsule (GXJ) is made from the classical Chinese prescription Xuefuzhuyutang ().

Acupuncture with reinforcing and reducing twirling manipulation inhibits hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

To observe the effects of different acupuncture manipulations on blood pressure and target organ damage in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), this study used the reinforcing twirling method (1.5-2-mm depth; rotating needle clockwise for 360° and then counter clockwise for 360°, with the thumb moving heavily forward and gently backward, 60 times per minute for 1 minute, and retaining needle for 9 minutes), the reducing twirling method (1.5-2-mm depth; rotating needle counter clockwise for 360° and then clockwise for 360°, with the thumb moving heavily backward and gently forward, 60 times per minute for 1 minute, and retaining needle for 9 minutes), and the needle retaining method (1.

[Role of traditional Chinese medicine injection infusion with precise infusion apparatus].

The adverse reactions caused by the traditional Chinese medicine has become increasingly aroused great attention. Traditional Chinese medicine injection may produce insoluble particles in the process of production, preparation and infusion, which is one of the reasons caused some adverse drug reactions such as phlebitis, allergic reactions, so it is essential that how to control Chinese medicine injection of insoluble drug particles enter human clinical safety. The author retrieve a large number of paper, from the infusion of particles, analysis traditional Chinese medicine injection and insoluble particles in the liquid compatibility increased occurrence and cause, comparative advantages and disadvantages of the ordinary infusion and precision infusion, which found that using sophisticated filters infusion of traditional Chinese medicine injection control of traditional Chinese medicine injection of insoluble particles enter the blood vessels, thereby reducing the occurrence of adverse drug reactions part of the traditional Chinese medicine injection, is the best, most effective, most secure way of infusion.

[Study on the effects of ferulic acid on the vascular smooth muscle cell migration in vitro].

Objective: To investigate the effects of ferulic acid on the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and its correlated mechanisms.

Methods: VSMCs were in vitro cultured. Under the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induced conditions, the VSMCs migration were detected using the scratch test and the invasion assay after intervened by ferulic acid.

[Analysis on the Chinese medicine syndrome and therapy in patients with coronary heart disease after intervention].

Along with the extensive application of intervention in treating coronary heart disease (CHD), problems such as post-interventional restenosis, no reflowing, and slow flowing, and so on increasingly emerge. Chinese medicine and pharmacy occupy advantages covering preventing post-intervention risk factors, improving and relieving patients' symptoms, and so on. It is a good support and supplement for routine therapies in modern medicine.

Angiogenesis and improved cerebral blood flow in the ischemic boundary area were detected after electroacupuncture treatment to rats with ischemic stroke.

Objectives: Acupuncture has been known to be effective in cerebral ischemia, and promoting angiogenesis is considered as a potential therapy of ischemic stroke. Recent data have also shown that angiogenesis indeed brings benefit to cerebral circulation and behavior improvement. We examined the effect of electroacupuncture on vascular endothelial cell proliferation in the ischemic stroke model.

The qi-regulating massotherapy for treatment of tonic headache in 150 cases.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects of the qi-regulating massotherapy for treatment of tonic headache.

Methods: According to different clinical types, 150 cases of tonic headache were treated by the qi-regulating massotherapy. Evaluations were done according to the scores for physiology, behavior, intensity of pain, and the therapeutic effects.

Acupuncture protected cerebral multi-infarction rats from memory impairment by regulating the expression of apoptosis related genes Bcl-2 and Bax in hippocampus.

Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common cause of dementia in the world today. In this paper, we observed the effect of acupuncture on memory impairment, apoptosis and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in hippocampus of cerebral multi-infarction rats. The results indicated that acupuncture significantly improved memory impairment induced by cerebral multi-infarction, as evaluated by shortened escape latency and increased swimming time in the target quadrant.

Spatial memory performance and hippocampal neuron number in osteoporotic SAMP6 mice.

The senescence-accelerated mouse strain P6 (SAMP6) is an inbred mouse that represents a clinically relevant model of senile osteoporosis. However, whether osteoporotic SAMP6 mice have cognitive deficits remains largely unexplored. Here, we used Morris water maze to assess reference memory and working memory performance in SAMP6 mice and SAMR1 controls, at 4 and 8 months of age.

Effect of acupuncture treatment on vascular dementia.

Objective: Recent studies have suggested that acupuncture can ameliorate some symptoms commonly associated with vascular dementia (VaD). The study was carried out to observe the clinical therapeutic effects for VaD of 'yi qi tiao xue, fu ben pei yuan' acupuncture method (supplementing vital force-matter and regulating blood, supporting the root and fostering the source).

Methods: Sixty inpatients with VaD were randomly assigned to the treat group (TG) or control group (CG).
