HJT is effective in treating chronic hepatitis B. HJT seems to exert its effect by improving the cellular immune function and decreasing inflammatory cytokines in chronic hepatitis B patients. The function of HJT in protecting liver function in the process of eliminating virus needs to be further studied.
The two kinds of samples, CSG-PDS/Normal and CSG-PDS/CSG-nPDS, have their respective gene expression profiles with different characteristics. Gene expression profile has certain referential significance in syndrome classification.
Splenogastric hygropyrexia syndrome, a common syndome in clinical practice, responds well to the therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In view of the complexity of TCM syndrome formation, proceeding from different aspects such as Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, expression of inflammatory factors, mucosal protection and change in micro-ecosystem, the authors proposed that Hp infection in gastric mucosa, nuclear factor-kappa B activation, over-expression of heat shock protein 70, and "excessive evil, dyssplenism and confliction between healthy energy and evils" due to disequilibrium between Hp and lactobacillus acidophilus in gastric mucosa and coated tongue may be the important links in the formation of Hp related gastrosis with splenogastric hygropyrexia syndrome.
ZHANG Shi-jun (~],~)1 CHEN Ze-xiong (~'{1~): 9 3 LAO Shao-xian (~)z, and HUANG Bi-jun (N~,~g)'Spirits of wine is one of the pathogenetic factors of liver damage which is merely secondary to hepatitis virus. The incidence of fatty liver in Chinese adults is 5~--9~ now. It is reported that interteukin-8 (IL-8) and lipid peroxidation play an important role in development of alcoholic fatty liver and liver damage ~ a~. The authors have observed the therapeutic effect in 30 patients of alcoholic fatty liver treated with Chinese herbal drugs for Liver-clearing, Dampness-removing and Collaterals-dredging (abbre. as CHD) from Aug. 1999 to June 2001 and explored the relationship between the effects of treatment and some indices, including IL-8, malonyldialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
