Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Yiqi Yangyin Jiangtang Prescription(mainly composed of Astragali Radix,Rehmanniae Radix,Imperatae Rhizoma,Ophiopogonis Radix,and Puerariae Lobatae Radix)combined with acupoint injection in the treatment of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods One hundred patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM of qi-yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis type were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 50 patients in each group.The control group was given oral use of Metformin Hydrochloride Tablets,and the treatment group was given the granules of Yiqi Yangyin Jiangtang Prescription orally combined with acupoint injection at unilateral points of Zusanli(ST36),Shenshu(BL23)and Qihai(CV6)on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for 4 weeks.Before and after the treatment,the two groups were observed in the changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),and serum levels of inflammatory factors of interleukin 6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),as well as the hemorheology indicators of whole blood low-shear viscosity and whole blood high-shear viscosity.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,5 cases fell off from the treatment group and 4 cases fell off from the control group,and a total of 91 patients were eventually included in the efficacy statistics,of which 45 cases were in the treatment group and 46 cases were in the control group.(2)After 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the treatment group was 93.33%(42/45),and that of the control group was 71.74%(33/46).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the therapeutic effect of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the scores of TCM symptoms of dry mouth and throat,frequent nocturia,shortness of breath and fatigue,hot flushes and night sweating as well as the total TCM syndrome scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment(P＜0.05),and the reduction of the scores in the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.01).(4)After treatment,the levels of blood glucose and lipid indicators of FPG,2hPG,HbA1c,TC and TG of patients in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(5)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factors of IL-6,CRP,and TNF-α in the two groups were all lower than those before treatment(P＜0.01),and the reduction in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(6)After treatment,the levels of hemorheology indicators such as whole blood low-shear viscosity and high-shear viscosity in the two groups were all lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the reduction in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(7)The incidence of adverse reactions in the treatment group was 8.89%(4/45),which was significantly lower than that of the control group(21.74%,10/46),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).Conclusion Yiqi Yangyin Jiangtang Prescription combined with acupoint injection exerts certain effect in treating patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM of qi-yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis syndrome type.The combined therapy can effectively alleviate the early clinical manifestations,decrease the levels of blood glucose,blood lipids,and inflammatory factors,and improve the hematological indicators and the quality of life of the patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe clinical effect on chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） with deficiency of stomach Yin when modified Shaoyao Gancaotang combined with Yiguanjian used on patients， and to study influence to prognostic risk. Method:One hundred and ten cases patients were randomly divided into control group 54 cases and observation group 56 cases. Two groups got treatment of eradication of <italic>Helicobacter pylori </italic>（Hp）. Patients in control group got Yangweishu capsules， 3 grains/time， 2 times/day. Patients in observation groups when Shaoyao Gancaotang combined with Yiguanjian modified， 1 dose/day. The treatment continued for 16 weeks. Before and after treatment， gastroscope was discussed and operative link for gastritis assessment （OLGA） and operative link on intestinal-metaplasia assessment （OLGIM） were recorded， scores of atrophic degree， intestinal metaplasia degree， Hp infection， chronic inflammatory reaction， activity， endoscopic mucosal signs， dyspepsia symptoms， reported outcome patients reported outcomes （PRO） of patients with gastrointestinal diseases were graded. And to test levels of pepsinogenⅠ （PG Ⅰ），PGⅡ， gastrin-17 （G-17）， cytotoxin associated gene A （CagA） and vacuolar cytotoxin （VacA）. Result:The effect of patients treated in observation group was better than the effect of patients received measures in control group （<italic>Z</italic>=2.068， <italic>P</italic><0.05）. Scores of atrophic degree， intestinal metaplasia degree， chronic inflammatory reaction and activity were lower than the scores of patients received measures in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Levels of OLGA （<italic>Z</italic>=2.037， <italic>P</italic><0.05） and OLGIM （<italic>Z</italic>=2.014， <italic>P</italic><0.05） of patients treated in observation group were better than the levels of patients received measures in control group. And levels of PGⅠ， G-17 and PG Ⅰ/PGⅡ of patients treated in observation group were higher than the dates of patients received measures in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Positive rates of CagA and VacA were all lower than the dates in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.05）. And gastroscopic mucosal signs and dyspepsia symptoms and scores of PRO were all lower than dates of patients received measures in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Conclusion:On the basis of eradicating Hp， treatment of Shaoyao Gancaotang with Yiguanjian modified can relieve the clinical symptoms， improve the quality of life of patients， promote mucosal repair， improve the pathological changes， reduce the degree and scope of gastric mucosal atrophy， which is conducive to delay the progression of lesions and reduce the risk of canceration when it used on CAG. It has good clinical efficacy and was worthy of further study
