[Conotation of ancient "stroke" and Qianyin Yaofang Xiaoxuming Decoction treating cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage].
Xiaoxuming Decoction is the ancient classic herbal formulae for the treatment of stroke. Before the Han and Tang Dynasties, Xiaoxuming Decoction was highly praised by doctors of all dynasties as the "No.1 prescription of internal medicine". However, it was gradually declined in later generations and even abandoned by doctors of all dynasties. ⋯ In ancient times, the connotation of stroke was very extensive, including facial neuritis, acute cerebral infarction, acute cerebral hemorrhage, sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, unexplained weakness of limbs, cervical spondylosis, acute myelitis, acute radiculitis, Guillain Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, motor neuron disease, dermatomyositis, hypokalemic paralysis peripheral neuritis. According to studies, in the treatment of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, Xiaoxuming Decoction can significantly shorten the course of acute stage and promote the recovery of hemiplegia, and its mechanism is consistent with the treatment principle of modern medicine for cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, this prescription is forbidden for patients with red face, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, blocked stool, red tongue, yellow fur, rapid pulse string or strong pulse string, and strong pulse on the wrist.

Randomized Controlled Trial Meta Analysis[Systematic review and Meta-analysis of efficacy and safety of Xiangsha Yangwei Pills in treatment of chronic gastritis].
To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiangsha Yangwei Pills in the treatment of chronic gastritis. Compu-ter retrieval was performed for Cochrane Library, Medline, EMbase, China Knowledge Network Database(CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Service System(SinoMed), Chongqing Weipu Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database(VIP) and WanFang Database(WanFang) randomized controlled trials about Xiangsha Yangwei Pills combined with Western medicine in the treatment of chro-nic gastritis. The retrieval time ranged from the establishment of the library to April 26, 2019. ⋯ In terms of the incidence of adverse reactions, Xiangsha Yangwei Pills combined with Western medicine was lower than Western medicine, and no serious adverse reaction was reported. The results of this systematic review showed that compared with the conventional Western medicine group, Xiangsha Yangwei Pills combined with Western medicine can significantly alleviate clinical symptoms of chronic gastritis, with fewer adverse reactions. However, due to the low methodological quality of the included studies and the reliability of the impact conclusions, high-quality multi-center, large-sample, randomized, double-blind controlled trials are needed for validation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Meta Analysis[Network Meta-analysis of oral Chinese patent medicine in treatment of acute cerebral infarction].
The efficacy of oral Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction was systematically evaluated by network Meta-analysis. The literature search was conducted in three English databases(Medline, EMbase and Cochrane Library) and four Chinese databases(CNKI, VIP, WanFang and SinoMed) from inception to June 2018, and the randomized controlled trials of acute cerebral infarction were screened out according to the pre-set criteria. Two reviewers independently screened out the literature by using pre-specified eligibility criteria, and assessed the quality of included studies according to the risk of bias tool of Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0. ⋯ The results of the network Meta-analysis showed that in terms of the total effective rate, the order of efficacy was as follows: Naomaitai Capsules>Xiaoshuan Changrong Capsules>Angong Niuhuang Pills>Yangxue Qingnao Granules>Compound Danshen Dripping Pills>Naoxintong Capsules>Tongxinluo Capsules>Naoxueshu Oral Liquid>Zhuyu Tongmai Capsules>Yinxingye Tablets>Compound Danshen Tablets; in terms of neurological deficit scores, the order of efficacy was: Tongxinluo Capsules>Angong Niuhuang Pills>Compound Danshen Dripping Pills>Xiaoshuan Changrong Capsules>Yangxue Qingnao Granules>Zhuyu Tongmai Capsules>Naoxintong Capsules>Naoxueshu Oral Liquid; in terms of Barthel index score, the order of efficacy was: Xiaoshuan Changrong Capsules>Naomaitai Capsules>Naoxueshu Oral Liquid>Angong Niuhuang Pills>Tongxinluo Capsules>Zhuyu Tongmai Capsules. Although different oral Chinese patent medicines can improve these outcomes, the difference in efficacy ranking was relatively large. Because of the small number and low quality of research literature, the conclusion still needs to be proved by multi-center, large-sample, and double-blind randomized trials.

Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of Zhibitai Capsules combined with statin in reducing blood lipid levels in patients with coronary heart disease].
To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Zhibitai Capsules combined with chemical drugs versus chemical drugs alone in regulating blood lipid of patients of coronary heart disease, so as to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. In this study, PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, China Knowledge Network Database(CNKI), Technology Journal Database(VIP) and WanFang Database(WanFang) were retrieved to find the randomized controlled trials(RCT) about therapeutic efficacy of Zhibitai Capsules combined with statins(experimental group)versus statins alone(control group)in the treatment of regulating blood lipid of patients with coronary heart disease. The retrieval time was restricted to be from the inception to October 2019. ⋯ Patients in the experimental group had a low incidence of adverse events, but the heterogeneity was slightly higher, and the result had a poor stability. However, due to the small sample size of studies included, some experimental designs were not perfect, which reduces the recommendation level and evidence intensity of this system evaluation. Therefore, high-quality multi-center, large-sample, randomized, double-blind randomized controlled trials are needed for providing more reliable basis.

[Traditional Chinese medicine insights of newly-diagnosed and young hypertension and clinical practice of Tianma Gouteng Decoction for hypertension treatment].
Hypertension is a global major public health problem. Early intervention and timely blocking are necessary for newly-diagnosed hypertensive and young hypertensive patients. Tianma Gouteng Decoction recorded in Zabing Zhengzhi Xinyi written by HU Guangci has the major functions in treating excess syndrome and wind-Yang disturbance syndrome with effects in calming liver-wind, clearing heat and activating blood, and nourishing liver and kidney. ⋯ However, with the regular monitoring of biomedical index, long-term treatment with Caulis Polygoni Multiflori(3-10 g·d~(-1) for 3 to 6 months) didn't show hepatic dysfunction. ⑦ The pharmacological activity of Tianma Gouteng Decoction coincided with the pathology and disease mechanism of newly-diagnosed and young hypertension. Therefore, Tianma Gouteng Decoction was the specific recipe for newly-diagnosed and young hypertension. Therefore, further studies of efficacy, safety and molecular mechanism of Tianma Gouteng Decoction may make a medical breakthrough for hypertension treatment.
