  • Chinese Herbal Medicine for atopic dermatitis: a systematic review.
    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hsiewe Ying Tan, Anthony Lin Zhang, Dacan Chen, Charlie Changli Xue, George Binh Lenon
    Abstract:

    Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, itching skin disease, and conventional therapies offer inadequate symptom management. Patients with AD are increasingly turning to Chinese Medicine. Objective We systematically evaluated the clinical evidence of the efficacy and safety of oral Chinese Herbal Medicine for AD. Methods Searches were conducted on major electronic databases using the following key words: "randomized controlled trials," "atopic dermatitis," "traditional Chinese Medicine," "traditional East Asian Medicine," "Herbal Medicine," "Chinese Herbal drugs," "medicinal plants," "phytotherapy," "Kampo Medicine," and "Korean traditional Medicine." The results were screened to include English/Chinese randomized controlled trials. A metaanalysis was conducted on suitable outcome measures. Results Seven randomized controlled trials were included (1 comparing Chinese Herbal Medicine and Western Medicine with Western Medicine alone; 6 comparing Chinese Herbal Medicine with placebo). Combined Chinese Herbal Medicine with Western Medicine was superior to Western Medicine alone. Three placebo controlled trials showed significant treatment efficacy and 2 showed significantly reduced concurrent therapy with Chinese Herbal Medicine. No abnormalities in safety profile or severe adverse events were reported. Limitations A metaanalysis of all included studies could not be conducted because of study heterogeneity. Conclusions Chinese Herbal Medicine significantly improved symptom severity of AD and was reported as well tolerated. However, the poor quality of studies did not allow for valid conclusions to support its tolerability and routine use. Additional studies addressing the methodologic issues are warranted to determine the therapeutic benefit of Chinese Herbal Medicine for AD.

  • Study and Simulation of Toxicity Mining Method for Chinese Herbal Medicine
    Computer Simulation, 2013
    Co-Authors: Zhang Qing-rong
    Abstract:

    Research the accurate detection of Chinese Herbal Medicine smell signal toxicity.This paper proposed a toxicity mining algorithm of Chinese Herbal Medicine smell signal.The smell signals of Chinese Herbal Medicine were acquired,the smell signals were filtered,and the smell signal noises were removed.The merging clustering algorithm were used to,cluster the smell signals of Chinese Herbal Medicine,thus to finish the Chinese Herbal Medicine toxicity detection.The experimental results show that this algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of Chinese Herbal Medicine toxicity detection.

  • SMC - Classification of Chinese Herbal Medicine Using Combination of Broad Learning System and Convolutional Neural Network
    2019 IEEE International Conference on Systems Man and Cybernetics (SMC), 2019
    Co-Authors: Changwei Cai, Shuangrong Liu, Lin Wang, Bo Yang, Mengfan Zhi, Rui Wang
    Abstract:

    Chinese Herbal Medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With developing of traditional Chinese Medicine, the usage of Chinese Herbal Medicine is growing rapidly. It is essential to identify Chinese Herbal Medicine correctly since Chinese Herbal Medicine is used to treat disease. However, identifying Chinese Herbal Medicine is a hard task because lots of Chinese Herbal Medicine with different properties displays similar appearance, such as Radix StephaniaeTetrandrae and Radix Paeoniae Alba. Traditional methods of classifying Chinese Herbal Medicine are low-efficiency and rely on professional medical knowledge. Machine learning methods can reduce the need for professional knowledge in some fields due to its self-learning ability. In this study, a framework, called CNN & BLS, combining the convolutional neural network (CNN) with broad learning system (BLS) for identifying the Chinese Herbal Medicine, is proposed. Experimental results show the CNN & BLS displays the promising performance for identifying Chinese Herbal Medicine.
