[Effects of Chinese herbal medicine Fuzheng Huayu recipe and its components against hepatocyte apoptosis in mice with hepatic injury].
To investigate the effects and characteristics of Fuzheng Huayu recipe, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, and its decomposed therapies against hepatocyte apoptosis in mice with hepatic injury. ⋯ Fuzheng recipe exerts a good effect in attenuating hepatocyte apoptosis in vivo, which has synergistic effects with Huayu recipe in attenuating hepatocyte apoptosis, and the potential mechanism is partially due to their different effects in alleviating oxidative stress in liver and down-regulating the expression of TNFR1 protein.

[Quantitative analysis and classification of tongue inspection based on the visible reflection spectrum].
In this study, optical data on color of tongue tips were collected by using a visible reflection spectrum system. Quantitative method of tongue inspection and classification of tongue states including pale, pale red, red and crimson manifestations were investigated. ⋯ In this study, based on the collection of the information data on tongue tip characteristics with the visible spectrum from 380 nm to 780 nm, the quantitative analysis of tongue inspection for pale tongue, pale red tongue, red tongue and crimson tongue was established. The quantitative value for tongue tip color is an effective method for classification of the condition of the tongue tip, which provides a useful tool for the modernization of tongue inspection in traditional Chinese medicine.

[Effects of Chinese herbal medicine Dusuqing Granule on toll-like receptor 4 signaling in multiple organ injury induced by bacterial pneumonia in aged rats].
To study the protective mechanism of Dusuqing Granule, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on the senile multiple organ injury caused by bacterial pneumonia by observing the expression changes of molecules related to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. ⋯ Dusuqing Granule is effective in suppressing toll-like receptor signal transduction activation and reducing the secretion of cytokines and inflammatory mediators, which can further reduce the organ tissue injury. Dusuqing Granule can decrease the levels of TLR signal transduction activation including the targets LBP, CD-14, TLR4, IRAK-1, TRAF6 and NF-κB, which is different from the special inhibitor that acts only on some segments.

[Clinical study on survival benefit for elderly patients with resected stage II or III colorectal cancer based on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment].
The incidence of colorectal cancer is high among the elderly. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used in the treatment for colorectal cancer of old people. However, controlled trials with large sample size evaluating the effect of TCM are rare. ⋯ TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment is important for improving the prognosis of stage II or III colorectal cancer in elderly patients. Integrated treatment shows benefit for reducing relapse and metastasis rates, and prolonging survival for elderly patients. The influence of integrated treatment needs to be further evaluated.

Review[Adverse drug reactions or adverse events of Chaihu Injection: a systematic review].
Chaihu Injection (CI), which is widely used in treatment of febrile diseases, is an aqueous solution of Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri Chinensis) or Nanchaihu (Radix Bupleuri Scorzonerifolii) prepared by steam distillation. ⋯ Present evidence with low level shows that incorrect use is the main cause of ADR/AE of CI. Whether CI is proper for children and old people still needs further research. Training for correct use of CI is necessary for medical workers. Much improvement in reporting ADR/AE based on "Recommendations for Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions and Adverse Events of Traditional Chinese Medicine" is in need.
