Objective: To observe the effect of fuming-washing with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) after anorectal surgery. Methods: 116 cases of patients with surgical operation were selected in the anorectal department of our hospital, which is Shenzhen Bao’an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shenzhen. According to the different postoperative adjuvant treatment methods implemented by patients, they were divided into two groups under the premise of equal number of patients. Among them, 58 cases of patients with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) fuming-washing treatment were divided into study group, and patients with hip bath treatment with potassium permanganate solution were divided into common group. The efficacy of adjuvant therapy was observed. Results: The observation and analysis showed that the actual effect of TCM adjuvant therapy was more prominent, and the difference between groups was more significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The effect of traditional Chinese medicine adjuvant therapy is more significant than that of chemical method, which can help patients achieve better postoperative recovery effect. We should popularize this treatment in time for patients after surgery, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Introduction Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) use has been believed to be common in Hong Kong but no data existed on its prevalence among emergency patients. We conducted a prospective survey to study the prevalence of its use, the type of TCM use, frequency and nature of associated adverse reactions. Methods All accident & emergency department (AED) attendances at the United Christian Hospital were screened by the triage nurse and attending doctor for TCM use and its type in a consecutive 31 day period. The causal relationships between the TCM and their presenting illness were also assessed and decided by the doctor in-charge. Results 291 out of 21,475 patients (1.4%) reported TCM use within one week. Among them, 117 (40.2%) consumed Chinese herbal medicine, 75 (25.8%) took proprietary Chinese medicine, 1 (0.3%) took both, 96 (33.0%) received topical treatment and 2 (0.7%) were unclassified, with 22 out of the 291 TCM users (7.6%) presented for TCM-related toxicity. Most complications were mild, the commonest ones being dermatitis after topical treatment (68.2%) and allergic reaction after oral intake (22.7%). Conclusion A small number of patients took TCM treatment shortly before AED consultation. Most TCM-related toxicities were mild and the commonest reactions were dermatitis and systemic allergy.

The Impact

Abstract Background: Large-scale epidemics have changed people’s medical behavior, and patients tend to delay non-urgent medical needs. However, the impact of the pandemic on the use of complementary and alternative medicine remains unknown. Methods: This retrospective study aimed to analyze the changes in the number of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patients and examine the epidemic prevention policy during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We analyzed the number of TCM patients in Taipei City Hospital from January 2017 to May 2020. We tallied the numbers of patients in each month and compared them with those in the same months last year. We calculated the percentage difference in the number of patients to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TCM utilization. We used the Mann­–Whitney U test to examine whether there was a significant difference in the number of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: We included a total of 41 months and 1,935,827 patients in this study. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients decreased significantly, except in February 2020. The numbers of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic had fallen by more than 15% compared with those in the same months last year. March and April had the greatest number of patient losses, with falls of 32.8% and 40%, respectively. TCM patients declined significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and mobile medicine provided to rural areas fell considerably. Among all the TCM specialties, pediatrics and traumatology, as well as infertility treatment, witnessed the most significant decline in the number of patients. However, the number of cancer patients has reportedly increased. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic decreased the utilization rate of TCM, especially for mobile healthcare in rural areas. We suggest that the government pay attention to the medical disparity between urban and rural areas, which are affected by the pandemic, as well as allocate adequate resources in areas deprived of medical care.

Tcm Syndrome

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an ancient medical system with a unique cultural background. Nowadays, more and more Western countries due to its therapeutic efficacy are accepting it. However, safety and clear pharmacological action mechanisms of TCM are still uncertain. Due to the potential application of TCM in healthcare, it is necessary to construct a scientific evaluation system with TCM characteristics and benchmark the difference from the standard of Western medicine. Model organisms have played an important role in the understanding of basic biological processes. It is easier to be studied in certain research aspects and to obtain the information of other species. Despite the controversy over suitable syndrome animal model under TCM theoretical guide, it is unquestionable that many model organisms should be used in the studies of TCM modernization, which will bring modern scientific standards into mysterious ancient Chinese medicine. In this review, we aim to summarize the utilization of model organisms in the construction of TCM syndrome model and highlight the relevance of modern medicine with TCM syndrome animal model. It will serve as the foundation for further research of model organisms and for its application in TCM syndrome model.
