20 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients were treated with Yisuikang (YSK) including MDS-RA 17 cases, MDS-RAEB 2 cases, MDS-RAEB-T 1 case. 14 patients were treated with YSK only, 6 cases were treated with both YSK and Western medicine. The result showed that 4 cases were remitted, 5 cases markedly improved, 6 cases improved and 5 cases ineffective, the total effective rate was 75.0%. It was found that YSK was effective in the treatment of MDS-RA or Qi-Blood Deficiency and Yu-Re Syndrome in TCM, while any other types were ineffective. They also found that types of TCM might be correlated with MDS.

50 cases were treated with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) by combined TCM-WM therapy. They were classified into RA 17 cases, RAS 6, RAEB 19, CMML 1 and RAEBT 7. The patients were divided into two groups, one with RA and RAS receiving treatment of hemopoietic and immune drugs plus Chinese medicinal herbs, the other with RAEB, CMML and RAEBT receiving treatment of LD Ara-c and LD Hom chemotherapy plus medicinal herbs. The effective rates were 47.83% and 62.96% respectively, the total effective rate being 56%. 6 cases (RAEB 4, RA 1, RAS 1) were treated with all-trans retinoic acid used as an inducer of differentiation, 2 of them were effective. 11 patients with MDS who had transformed into acute leukemia were treated by LD Ara-c and combined TCM-WM chemotherapy, the remission rate was 54.55% and the survival period was 9-27 months after remission. In some cases low dose chemotherapy resulted in hemocytopenia, bone marrow inhibition, infection, mild nausea and anorexia.
