中医药为艾滋病治疗注入新活力

新华网昆明11月26日电 (记者李萌、王若遥、李怀岩)中国医学界正尝试用传统中医药治疗艾滋病。科研和临床实践证明,中医药治疗能有效保护和恢复人体免疫功能,提高艾滋病病毒感染者和病人的生活质量。
在云南省昆明市中医医院,记者见到了21岁的艾滋病感染者龙飞(化名),他一大早就到医院艾滋病防治科来领取药品,医生拿给他是用中草药制成的药丸和袋装汤剂。龙飞说,我去年5月份检查出感染了艾滋病,开始时吃西药,身体还是很不舒服,后来就到这里吃中药,没什么不良反应,工作生活和正常人一样。
昆明市中医医院主治医师陈昕说,中医药治疗艾滋病和西医有很多不同,医生了解患者感染情况后,要通过中医传统的诊脉、观色等方式,判断病人的体质。中医认为每个人都有不同的体质,需要不同的治疗方法。除了2种医疗机构中药制剂,我们还根据病人体质开中药处方,治疗不同的症状。从2005年建立试点起,已累计收治了600多人。
20世纪80年代中期,中国开始探索将中医药用于治疗艾滋病的方法,经过很多科研工作者的努力,2004年第一个治疗艾滋病的中成药“唐草片”获得国家批准文号。2004年,中国启动中医药治疗艾滋病试点项目,至今已有1万多人接受了治疗。目前,国家和各省市批准用于艾滋病临床治疗和科研的中成药或医疗机构中药制剂有20多种,同时初步形成了一批中医药治疗艾滋病方案。
据介绍,艾滋病于1981年在美国首次确认,至今全球有3400多万艾滋病病毒感染者,西方科学家围绕艾滋病病毒进行了大量的研究,目前,美国FDA批准的抗病毒治疗药物有30多种,这些药物通过“鸡尾酒疗法”结合起来,可以有效杀灭抑制病毒。因此,西医抗病毒治疗成为世界通行的艾滋病治疗方法,但也存在毒副作用大、部分药品价格昂贵等问题。
云南省中医中药研究院院长马克坚表示,这几年科研和临床治疗数据表明,中医药治疗艾滋病在抗病毒、恢复人体免疫功能等方面有确切的效果。但现在的国际通用的治疗标准是建立在西医抗病毒治疗体系上的,要说明中医药治疗艾滋病的有效性,必须在国际标准的基础上建立自己的标准体系。
“中医药治疗可以有效维持患者体重、恢复体力、恢复劳动能力,减少感冒发烧、皮疹等方面症状,保证艾滋病患者正常的生活、工作能力,我们将这些方面效果量化,建立了主观指标,作为西医CD4水平标准的补充。”马克坚说,但中医药治疗艾滋病的机理很多还不清楚,需要积累更多的科研和治疗数据,现在国家已经将相关研究立项。
马克坚说,与西医针对病毒本身治疗不同,中医从人体整体机能出发,针对病症进行治疗,中医对艾滋病人经常出现的易感冒、长期低烧、体型消瘦等症状都有治疗办法,能有效治疗这些病症,就能有效延长艾滋病患者的寿命,最终降低死亡率。来自中医药治疗试点的统计数据显示,2010年单纯抗病毒治疗存活比例是87.46%,中西医结合的是98.29%。单纯西医治疗的肝功能异常率为16.59%,中西医结合治疗为11.61%,中西医结合后多种不良发生率都远远低于西医。
据介绍,中国于1985年宣布第一例因艾滋病死亡的病例,截至2011年9月,中国累计报告艾滋病病毒感染者和病人为42.9万例。截至2010年底,云南省累计报告艾滋病病毒感染者和病人8万多例,数量居全国首位。目前,云南省有13个中医药治疗艾滋病试点,累计收治艾滋病感染者和病人6000多例,约占全国试点项目治疗病例的一半。
马克坚说,中国正努力探索一条中西医结合的“中国式艾滋病治疗之路”。临床治疗和科研实践表明,西医擅长抗病毒治疗,中医药擅长保护恢复人体免疫系统,将两者结合起来最能使艾滋病患者受益,目前云南中医中药研究院在中医药治疗艾滋病领域已经有10多个国家级和省级科研项目,未来将继续开展中医药抗病毒机理、保护恢复人体免疫系统、中西医药结合治疗艾滋病、艾滋病中药制剂等方面研究。

Inject new life into Chinese medicine for AIDS treatment
At 19:38 on November 26th, 2011 Xinhua
Kunming, Xinhua, November 26 (Reporter Li Meng, Ruo away, LI Huai-Yan) Chinese medical community is trying to use traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS. Research and clinical practice has proved that Chinese medicine treatment can effectively protect and restore the body's immune function, HIV infection and improve patient quality of life.
Chinese Medicine Hospital in Kunming, Yunnan Province, the reporter saw 21-year-old AIDS Fei (a pseudonym), he went to the hospital early in the morning to claim the Division of AIDS prevention drugs, doctors gave him the pills made with herbs and packaged soups. Fei said, I checked out last May, infected with AIDS, began to eat medicine, the body is uncomfortable, then went to eat Chinese here, no adverse reactions, like normal people live and work.
Kunming Chinese Medicine Hospital physician, said Chen Xin, Chinese medicine and Western medicine treatment of AIDS there are many different doctors about patients infected with the situation, diagnose the troubles through traditional Chinese medicine, concept of color, etc., to determine the patient's body. Chinese believe that everyone has a different constitution, require different treatment. In addition to two kinds of medical institutions of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, we also open a body according to traditional Chinese medicine prescription, to treat various symptoms. Establish a pilot since 2005, has accumulated more than 600 people treated.
The mid-1980s, China began to explore the Chinese medicine for the treatment for AIDS, through the efforts of many researchers in 2004, the first medicine to treat AIDS, "Tang grass film" access to national approval. In 2004, China launched pilot projects in the medical treatment of AIDS, has been more than 10,000 people received treatment. At present, national and provincial approved for AIDS treatment and research of clinical medicine or medical institutions have 20 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine preparation, while the initial formation of a group of Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS programs.
According to reports, AIDS was first recognized in the United States in 1981, has more than 34 million worldwide infected with HIV, HIV Western scientists around a lot of research, at present, the U.S. FDA-approved anti-viral drugs have 30 kinds, These drugs through the "cocktail" combination, can effectively suppress the virus kill. Therefore, the Western world's prevailing anti-viral treatment of AIDS treatment, but there are toxic side effects, some drugs are expensive and so on.
President Ma Kejian Yunnan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said the past few years research and clinical treatment data indicate that the anti-viral medicine in the treatment of AIDS, to restore the body's immune function, and so there is a genuine effect. But now the internationally accepted standards of care is based on Western medicine on antiretroviral treatment system, to illustrate the effectiveness of Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS must be based on international standards to establish their own standards.
"Chinese medicine treatment can effectively maintain patient body weight, regain their strength and regain the ability to reduce a fever, rash, etc. symptoms, to ensure that AIDS patients live a normal life, ability to work, we will quantify these effects, the establishment of the subjective indicators, as Western CD4 level of the standard complement. "Ma Kejian said, but the mechanism of Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS many still do not know, need to accumulate more research and treatment data, and now countries have research project.
Ma Kejian said that the treatment with Western medicine for the virus itself is different from the overall function of the body starting from the traditional Chinese medicine for disease treatment, traditional Chinese medicine for people with AIDS, recurrent colds, long-term low-grade fever, body weight loss and other symptoms are treatment options, effective treatment of these symptoms, can effectively extend the life of AIDS patients, and ultimately reduce mortality. Chinese medicine treatment of the pilot from the statistical data show that antiretroviral therapy alone in 2010 was 87.46% survival ratio, integrative medicine is 98.29%. Western therapy alone was 16.59% abnormal liver function, in combination therapy to 11.61%, a variety of Chinese and Western medicine combined are much lower than the incidence of bad doctors.
According to reports, China announced in 1985 the first cases of AIDS deaths, as of September 2011, China had reported HIV infection and the patient was 42.9 million cases. As of the end of 2010, Yunnan Province has reported HIV infection and the patient more than 80,000 cases, which ranked first in the country. At present, Yunnan has 13 pilot Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS, the cumulative AIDS and patients treated over 6000 cases, accounting for about half the cases treated the pilot project.
Ma Kejian said that China is trying to explore a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, "the road of Chinese-style treatment of AIDS." Clinical and research practice has shown that doctors are good anti-viral therapy, Chinese medicine to restore the body's immune system, good protection, the combination of the two AIDS patients can benefit most current Yunnan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the field of Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS has been more than 10 a national and provincial research projects, the future will continue to carry out anti-viral mechanism of Chinese medicine, the body's immune system protection and recovery, combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment of AIDS, AIDS and other aspects of traditional Chinese medicines.
