Observations on Therapeutic Effectiveness of Li's Prescription No.5 in the Treatment of Encephalopathyand an Approach to its Mechanism of Action
[b:4472a8bb44][Abstract] [/b:4472a8bb44]Objective This paper reports on the satisfactory results obtained in the treatment of 12 138 patients with a diversity of refractory diseases that affect the functioning of the brain including mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, senile dementia, sequelae of brain trauma, sequelae of encephalitis, sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases, and hereditary ataxia with Li's Prescription No.5 developed by the author and approaches its mechanism of action. Method The study subjects all met the diagnostic criteria for encephalopathy in DSM Ⅳ-R and CCMD-2-R. Part of the subjects were subjected to Wechsler's psychometry, examination of EEG and chromosome, and skull CT scanning before and after treatment for comparison of therapeutic effectiveness. All the patients were treated with Li's Prescription No.5 only, without any other remedies, oral administration for 6 successive months being a course of treatment. Results Statistics of short-term therapeutic effectiveness six months after treatment showed that the effective rate was 85.6% and the notable effective rate was 66%. Conclusions The present study showed that Li's Prescription No.5 has the effects of improving intelligence, promoting cerebral energy metabolism, promoting somatic and cerebral development, regulating motor function, improving cerebral microcirculation, regulating neurontransmitter, facilitating functional restoration of damaged nerve cells, and resisting free radicals. The author advances the hypothesis of starting "adjusting point" of central nervous system that there might exist an "adjusting point" in the central nervous system which could be started by changing the potential gradient inside and outside the membrane of nerve cells to promote regeneration of nerve cells of the brain.
