Assisted Reproductive Treatment

The main cause of infertility in elderly women is poor ovarian function, decreased quality and number of oocytes, which ultimately leads to poor fertility. Low ovarian function is the most difficult point in the research of reproductive medicine and reproductive health. At present, the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine has gradually achieved results. Western medicine mainly regulates endocrine and assisted reproductive treatment by supplementing estrogen and progesterone, while traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) mainly focuses on invigorating the kidney, adding and subtracting according to the syndrome. The treatment effect of TCM or western medicine alone is not significant. Many clinical observations show that integrated TCM and western medicine focuses on the specialties of western medicine, which not only makes up for the insufficiency of the slow action of TCM, but also improves its clinical efficacy when combined with western medicine. Based on domestic and foreign research, this article summarizes the treatment of infertility in elderly women with integrated TCM and western medicine.

Sudden Collapse

In recent years, the frequency of clinical occurrence of abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescence has gradually increased. In order to fully understand the research progress in the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescence, various studies and clinical experience have been reviewed by consulting related literature reports. The results found that currently Western medicine mainly uses hormone drugs in clinical treatment, but there are risks such as more clinical adverse reactions and higher recurrence rate; traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment has achieved satisfactory results, but the advantages of sudden collapse and hemostasis are not obvious. Combined TCM and Western medicine treatment, it can learn from each other and has become a research hotspot in recent years, which is worthy of an in-depth discussion.

Recent Research Progress

In the Western medicine system, scholars have explained individual differences in terms of behaviour and thinking, leading to the emergence of various classification theories on individual differences. Traditional Chinese medicine has long observed human constitutions. Modern Chinese medicine studies have also involved study of human constitutions; however, differences exist in the ways traditional and modern Chinese medicine explore individual constitutions. In the late 1970s, the constitutional theory of Chinese medicine was proposed. This theory takes a global and dynamic view of human differences (e.g., the shape of the human body, function, psychology, and other characteristics) based on arguments from traditional Chinese medicine. The establishment of a standard for classifying constitutions into nine modules was critical for clinical application of this theory. In this review, we describe the history and recent research progress of this theory, and compare it with related studies in the western medicine system. Several research methods, including philology, informatics, epidemiology, and molecular biology, in classifying constitutions used in the constitutional theory of Chinese medicine were discussed. In summary, this constitutional theory of Chinese medicine can be used in clinical practice and would contribute to health control of patients.

Behcet's disease is a vasculitis disease involving multiple systems, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. The paper discusses the research progress on the treatment of Behcet's disease in traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The clinical efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of Behcet's disease is significantly better than that of Western medicine alone, which is worthy of further research.

Abstract Background: The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is commonly accepted in clinics in China. Shaoyao-Gancao-Fuzi decoction (SGFD) has been extensively used to dispel wind, eliminate dampness and treat paralysis. Tofacitinib is approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. SGFD and tofacitinib could be used together for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods: A cocktail approach was employed to assess the effects of SGFD on the activities of CYP450s. After pretreatment for 2 weeks with SGFD, a cocktail solution was given to rats 24 h after the last dose of saline or SGFD. Additionally, the pharmacokinetic profiles of oral administration of tofacitinib in rats, with or without SGFD pre-treatment were investigated.Results: The results showed that SGFD could induce the activity of CYP1A2 and inhibit the activity of CYP3A4. Furthermore, SGFD could significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tofacitinib. Compared with control group, the AUC0-∞ of tofacitinib was increased from 13669.53 ± 4986.83 to 28706.69 ± 9563.13 ng/mL*h (p < 0.01), and the Cmax was increased from 8359.66 ± 1512.22 to 11332.51 ± 2791.90 ng/mL (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The system exposure of tofacitinib was increased by SGFD. The mechanism might be through inhibiting the activity of CYP3A4 and reducing the metabolism of tofacitinib in rats. The study will provide better guidance for the safe clinical use of SGFD and tofacitinib.
