Liver diseases are now increasing, especially the chronic ones. The therapy of liver diseases is often challengeable because conditions of the liver are complicated in both structure and function. Different pathological liver conditions are associated with reactive oxygen species, viruses, toxins, inflammation and infection, and others. The resultant liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis are a pro...

The aim of this study was to observe the effects of Yiqi Huayu recipe on TRPV4 expression in radicular neuralgia model induced by chronic constriction to the rat lumber nerve root. Healthy male SD rats were divided into 3 groups for radicular neuralgia (RN) model construction: the sham operation group, model groups (day 3, 7, 14 and 28), and medication groups (day 3, 7, 14 and 28). Von-Frey hai...

BACKGROUND Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) possesses several advantages for treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The theory of 'Jianpi Huayu Therapy' rooted from 'Jin Kui Yao Lue' is one of the most important therapies in this respect. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical effect and safety of hepatectomy combining with 'Jianpi Huayu Therapy' in the treatment...

OBJECTIVE To study the mechanisms of Tongxia Huayu Decoction (a Chinese herbal decoction for purgation and removing blood stasis) in prognostic improvement for severe acute pancreatitis by early intervention on pancreatic microcirculatory disturbance. METHODS Fifty-three patients with severe acute pancreatitis were divided randomly into treatment group (n=28) and control group (n=25). Tongxia...

Purpose. To evaluate the treatment effect and side effect of Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI) on alleviating transient worsening of myasthenia gravis (MG) symptoms caused by high-dose steroids pulse therapy. Methods. Sixty-six consecutive patients with MG were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group treated with SFI and methylprednisolone pulse therapy (MPT) and the control group tr...

Abstract Numerical groundwater flow simulation involves manual and tedious pre-processing post-processing procedures. Hence, this study developed a systematic efficient workflow to alleviate model buildup data-processing burdens, allowing researchers focus on the application aspects of results. This highly automatic allows execute three-dimensional simulations in sites with complex hydrogeologi...

The study aims to construct a multidimensional computerized adaptive testing (MCAT) system for enhancing the Chinese as second language (CSL) proficiency test. Because currently the major CSL proficiency tests still retain paper-pencil (P&P) test method for testing. Nowadays more advances computer technology is available, project development on the computerized based test (CBT) has been gradual...
