Tien
Hsien Liquid Scientific Study — Tung’s
Taichung Metroharbor Hospital, Taiwan
Clinical
Trial of Tien Hsien Liquid’s Effects on T-lymphocyte Activity
(2003.8~2004.6)
This is Tien
Hsien Liquid’s first clinical observation and validation in
humans which targeted human T-lymphocytes; after ingesting Tien Hsien
Liquid, it was confirmed that Tien Hsien Liquid can enhance T-lymphocytes
activity in cancer patients.
T-lymphocytes are the major response cells that fights tumors, therefore
monitoring of T-lymphocyte activity plays a key-role in tumor treatment
and prognosis.
Research
Content
-
100 cancer patients that had not received any prior treatments
with immunity altering modalities such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy
were randomly selected from the Cancer Treatment Center of Tung’s
Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Radiation Oncology Center of St.
Mary’s Hospital. Fifty of the randomly selected patients
were given Tien Hsien Liquid while the remaining 50 were given
placebo. T-cell activities were evaluated to determine the effect
on immunity after patients were given treatment.
-
Before treatmemt, after one-month and after two-months, T-lymphocytes
from patients were cultured and stained with silver in order to
measure the area of silver staining nucleolar organizing region
(AgNOR), this is a measure of the T-lymphocyte immune activity
in the body.
Result
The Experimental Group (Tien Hsien Liquid) : 48 patients
– interrupted or treatment incomplete patients = total of 35
patients which yielded an efficacy of 45.7%.
Control Group (given placebo): 48 entered patients – interrupted
or treatment incomplete patients = total of 40 patients which yielded
an efficacy of 30%.
Comparison of the two groups showed that, after ingesting Tien Hsien
Liquid, the therapeutic efficacy increased from 30% to 45.7%, therefore
the T-lymphocyte immune activity was significantly enhanced. In breast
cancer patients, the efficacy after ingesting Tien Hsien Liquid had
significantly risen from 33% to 83.3%. Hence, it is predicted that
ingestion of Tien Hsien Liquid during therapy is helpful in patients
receiving cancer treatments.
