Objective To evaluate the effectivenss of Chinese herbal retention enema in viral hepatitis patients. Methods Such databases as The Cochrane library, PubMed, EMbase, VIP, CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data were searched from the inception to December, 2011 to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about Chinese herbal retention enema in treating viral hepatitis, and the references of the included literature were also retrieved. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and evaluated and cross-checked the methodological quality. Then meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 20 RCTs involving 1 735 patients were included. The subgroup analyses based on the length of intervention time showed that: a) after 2-week intervention: the overall effective rate of the Chinese herbal retention enema group was higher than that of the control group, with a significant difference (OR=3.19, 95%CI 1.87 to 5.44, Plt;0.000 1). Compared with the control group, the Chinese herbal retention enema group better promoted the recovery of liver function by more reduction of AST (MD= ?82.50, 95%CI ?145.66 to ?19.34, P=0.01), ALT (MD= ?44.78, 95%CI 65.90 to ?23.66, Plt;0.000 1) and TBIL (MD= ?37.51, 95%CI ?74.07 to ?0.95, Plt;0.0001). b) After 1-month intervention: The overall effective rate of the Chinese herbal retention enema group was higher than that of the control group, with a significant difference (OR=4.17, 95%CI 2.37 to 7.32, Plt;0.000 01). Compared with the control group, the Chinese herbal retention enema group better promoted the recovery of liver function by more reduction of AST (MD= ?17.86, 95%CI ?29.97 to ?5.76, P=0.004), ALT (MD= ?27.84, 95%CI ?42.45 to ?13.24, P=0.000 2), and TBIL (MD= ?54.15, 95%CI ?116.52 to ?8.23, P=0.09). Conclusion Chinese herbal retention enema can improve the overall effective rate for viral hepatitis patients, alleviate virus damage to liver cell and promote liver function recovery. The commonly used Chinese medicinals for enema are Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Herba Artemisiae Capillaris, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Radix Paeoniae Rubra.

With 48 Wistar rats, the effect of Chinese medicine on the survival of the random skin flap (L: W=6: 1) was studied in random, single blind, and control methord. The results of histology and biochemistry in this experiment showed that the Chinese medicine could increse the survival of the flap. The mechanism might be due to the improvement of the flap microcirculation, pretecation of the produced, milicu interue of the tissues and reduction of harmful materials.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) after Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Methods The following databases and periodicals such as PubMed (Jan. 1980 to Jan. 2009), MEDLINE (1980 to 2009), EBSCOhost (Jan. 1975 to Jan. 2009), CALIS (1984 to 2009), CNKI (1979 to 2007), VIP (1989 to 2009), CBM (1978 to 2009); Chinese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (1990 to 2008), Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (1988 to 2008), Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (1990 to 2008), and Chinese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine (1996 to 2008) were searched by computer and handwork for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about TCM to treat CRS after ESS. The trial screening, quality assessment, and the data extraction of the included trials were conducted before performing statistical analyses by using RevMan 4.2.10 software. Results A total of 32 RCTs in three sub-groups in Chinese literatures were identified with meta-analyses in comparisons of the cure rate (OR=1.99, 95%CI 1.78 to 2.23), total effective rate (OR=2.66, 95%CI 2.20 to 3.22), degree I postoperative improvement rate (OR=2.22, 95%CI 1.60 to 3.06), total postoperative improvement rate (OR=8.77, 95%CI 1.09 to 70.64), postoperative clean time (OR=2.54, 95%CI 1.70 to 3.79), postoperative epithelization time (OR= –29.46, 95%CI –37.73 to –21.18), and mucociliary transport rate (OR=1.14, 95%CI 0.22 to 2.06). A total of 4 RCTs were meta-analyzed to evaluate the safety in comparisons of gastrointestinal reaction (OR=0.25, 95%CI 0.00 to 33.78) and local reaction (OR=0.03, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.12). Conclusion The current evidence shows TCM in treating CRS after ESS tends to improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the cure time without obvious adverse reaction. Due to the low methodological quality of included trials, more RCTs with high quality and large scale are required.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicines for chronic functional constipation. Methods We searched CNKI (1989 to November, 2009), CBM (1989 to November, 2009), VIP (1989 to November, 2009), Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2009), PubMed (1966 to November, 2009) and EMbase (1986 to November, 2009). All randomized and quasi-randomized clinical trials of treating chronic functional constipation with Chinese herbal medicines versus untreated, placebo or western drug groups were included. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers. The methodological quality of trials was evaluated with Cochrane Handbook 5.0.2 criteria. Meta-analyses were conducted by the RevMan 5.0 software. Results Twenty-one trials involving 2 602 patients were included. The Meta-analysis results showed that: Chinese herbal medicines improved both syndromes and colonic transit function of recipients; moreover, it is superior to both gastrointestinal prokinetic agent in effective rate (RR=1.18, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.25), healing rate (RR=1.59, 95%CI 1.35 to 1.88), and cathartic in effective rate (RR=1.18, 95%CI 1.10 to 1.27), healing rate (RR=1.16, 95%CI 1.29 to 2.10). Integration of Chinese herbal medicines and gastrointestinal prokinetic agent is superior to gastrointestinal prokinetic agent in effective rate (RR=1.21 95%CI 1.09 to 1.34) and healing rate (RR=1.41, 95%CI 1.11 to 1.79). Conclusion Some Chinese herbal medicines may be effective and safe in treating chronic functional constipation, which can not be bly proved at present for lack of studies with high quality.
