ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Xiaoer anorexia granule combined with Saccharomyces brassicus in the treatment of infantile anorexia and its effect on serum cytokines. Method: Totally 240 cases of infantile anorexia treated in Jinhua People's Hospital from October 2015 to October 2017 were randomly divided into three groups. Group A (combination group) orally took Xiaoer anorexia granule, 1 pack/time for 1-3 years old, 2 packs/time for 4-6 years old, 3 times a day, and combined with saccharomyces brasiliensis, 0.5 g/time, 2 times a day, 15-30 min before meal. Group B took saccharomyces brasiliensis by the same method as the combination group. Group C took Xiaoer anorexia granules by the same method as above,with 80 cases in each group. 8 weeks is a course of treatment. Serum inflammatory cytokines leptin, SP and Ghrelin were also detected. The clinical efficacy, body weight, height improvement and serum cytokine levels were observed in 3 groups. Result: The total improvement rate of group A was 91.25%, which was significantly higher than 71.25%of group B and 73.75%of group C, with statistically significant differences (PPPPPPPConclusion: Treatment of infantile anorexia with Xiaoer anorexia granules combined with Saccharomyces cerevisiae can improve the total clinical effective rate, adjust serum cytokine levels and increase height and body mass.
