Protective effect of total alkaloids on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury
Conclusions: This study indicates that total alkaloids may have a protective effect against LPS-induced acute lung injury. This protective effect of total alkaloids seems to result from inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B activation, which causes the reduction of inflammatory markers such as tumor necrosis factor α and inducible nitric oxide synthase.

The number of intestinal bacteria is not critical for the enhancement of antitumor activity and reduction of intestinal toxicity of irinotecan by the Chinese herbal medicine PHY906 (KD018)
Conclusions: Alterations in the population of intestinal bacteria did not affect the abilities of PHY906 to enhance CPT-11 antitumor activity or reduce the intestinal toxicity associated with CPT-11 treatment. The major species of intestinal bacteria do not appear to play a role in PHY906's enhancement of the therapeutic index of CPT-11 in tumor-bearing mice. Thus, patients with different intestinal bacterial profiles may still benefit from PHY906 treatment alongside CPT-11.

Today on the podcast, I have the pleasure of introducing my very favorite veterinarian to the Chinese Medicine Central community.

Herbs get the push: no statutory regulation for western herbalists or Traditional Chinese Medicine
It makes a nice change to be able to compliment an official government report. Ever since the House of Lords report in 2000, the governments have been vacillating about what should be done about herbalists. At the moment both western herbalists and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are essentially unregulated. Many (but not all) herbalists have been pushing for statutory regulation, which they see it as government endorsement. It would give them a status like the General Medical Council. Chinese medicine as taught at Middlesex University A new report has ruled out this possibility, for very good reasons ...

Why cancer patients choose in-patient complementary therapy in palliative care: A qualitative study at Arokhayasala Hospice in Thailand
Conclusions Patients’ own perceptions and experiences were more important in making the decision to use CAM, and especially HM, in palliative cancer care than referral by healthcare professionals or scientific evidence of efficacy. Patients were prepared to travel far and live away from home to receive such care, especially as it was cost-free. In view of patients’ previously stated satisfaction with the regime at the Arokhayasala, these findings may be relevant to the provision of in-patient cancer palliative care to other patients.

By SIMON YU, MD, LT COL, USA (Ret) Dr. Tom Frieden, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), opened up a new front in the Coronavirus War by saying we don’t just need to treat the acute disease, we need to treat the underlying conditions that make people more susceptible to serious disease progression.
