Jing Si herbal tea includes eight Chinese herbs: such as mugwort leaves, fish needle grass, Ophiopogon japonicus, platycodon, perilla leaves, chrysanthemum, and licorice. In vitro, these ingredients were found to be able to block the binding of SARS-CoV-2 and human ACE2 receptor, and further reduce the penetration ability of the virus. Now, Jing Si herbal tea liquid packets have obtained the special license for export from the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan. The aim of the study is to investigate (1) the effect of Jing Si herbal tea liquid on blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol in patients with cardiovascular diseases. (2)The human gut microbiota change which is associated with TMAO production (3) The proinflammatory and inflammatory biomarkers change. We are going to recruit 100 participants from cardiovascular clinics, including patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, ischemic heart disease and diabetes, aged 20-75 years old. We exclude those who are cancer patients, have comorbidities with poor control, patients with eGFR< 40 ml/min/1.73m2, those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, and in their menstrual period when recruiting. The study has two parts. The first part is a pilot study with 20 subjects all take active Jing Si herbal tea. The second part is a double-blind randomized controlled study with 40 subjects in each arm.
Studies have shown that clear liquids containing carbohydrates are safe when given up to 2 hours before surgery and increase patient comfort before surgery. In the light of this information, this study aims to investigate the effects of preoperative oral carbohydrate administration on postoperative glucometabolic response, subjective well-being, quality of life, and surgical clinical outcomes in patients scheduled for colorectal surgery; planned as randomized-controlled, double-blind
This study is looking for the predictors of the survival or rehospitalization of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Participants who are discharged from an acute heart failure hospitalization are enrolled.
Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) can experience symptoms such as lassitude, pain, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, rash, skin dryness, sleep disorders, and emotional and sexual problems after the treatment. Many chronic HD patients do not feel well after the treatment sessions and need some time to recover.

Objective: to verify the effect of solution-focused group therapy (SFBT) on pain management as well as physiological, psychological and social adaptation in patients with spinal cord injury. Setting: for matters of convenience, the samples were collected at medical and rehabilitation centers in Taiwan. Twenty-six patients with spinal cord injuries and neuropathic pain were invited to join the four pain management groups. Method: In the case of patients with spinal cord injury affected by neuropathic pain, a solution-focused pain management group therapy was conducted once a week for 6 weeks, 90 minutes each time; fear avoidance theory and acceptance and commitment therapy was used for pain management, using solution-focus group counseling strategies to guide group members to achieve pain management goals by accepting pain and establishing goals.The group effectiveness was assessed before and after the group intervention in terms of pain intensity (0-10 numeric rating scale), brief pain inventory-pain inference, chronic pain self-efficacy scale, pain fear (0-10 numeric rating scale), depression (patient health questionnaire-9), demoralization (demoralization scale), post-traumatic growth inventory and life quality (WHOQOL-BREF). Then we analyzed the correlation between the difference values of the variables before and after the test in order to understand the clinical application of the pain management group therapy for patients with spinal cord injury.
