title: [Antifebrile effect of naoreqing oral liquid on post-operational fever of glioma or meningioma patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the antifebrile effect of Naoreqing (NRQ) oral liquid on fever in patients after glioma or meningioma operation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients were divided into 3 groups, the TCM group treated with NRQ, the TCM-WM group treated with NRQ plus western medicine and the WM group treated with western medicine alone. The treatment was applied for 7 successive days. The mean time of fever and fever subsidence, body temperature before and after treatment were recorded and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The antifebrile effect in the TCM and the TCM-WM group was superior to that in the WM group significantly (P < 0.01), and the difference between the TCM group and the TCM-WM group was insignificant.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  NRQ can evidently reduce the body temperature of patients after brain tumor operation, its antifebrile effect is irrelevant to the kind of tumor being glioma or meningioma.
