The Latest Research Advances of Danggui Buxue Tang as an Effective Prescription for Various Diseases: A Comprehensive Review
AbstractDanggui Buxue Tang (DBT) is composed ofAstragali Radix andAngelicae Sinensis Radix in a weight ratio of 5:1. The recipe of the decoction is simple, and DBT has been widely used in the treatment of blood deficiency syndrome for more than 800 years in China. Studies on its chemical constituents show that saponins, flavonoids, volatile oils, organic acids, and polysaccharides are the main components of DBT. Many techniques such as third-generation sequencing, PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, and HPLC-MS have been used for the quality control of DBT. DBT has a wide range of biological activities, including ...

The Pathway of China ’s Integrated Delivery System: Based on the Analysis of the Medical Consortium Policies
AbstractWith the deepening of China ’s health-care reform, an integrated delivery system has gradually emerged with the function of improving the efficiency of the health-care delivery system. For China’s integrated delivery system, a medical consortium plays an important role in integrating public hospitals and primary care facil ities. The first medical consortium policy issued after the COVID-19 pandemic apparently placed hope on accelerating the implementation of a medical consortium and tiered health-care delivery system. This paper illustrates the possible future pathway of China’s medical consortium through re...
