Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalea and Radix Astragali often combined with other herbs;Bupi Yichang pills

Yunnan Baiyao and Wumei pills were always associated with dexamethasone

metronidazole and sulfasalazine. Conclusion: Text mining technology could be adopted for objective summing up treatment law of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine for ulcerative colitis
