ABSTRACT
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(T2DM) is classified as two types according to somatotype,one is obesity or overweight,the other is normal or emaciation.It can also be classifi ed as two types according to symptoms,one is accompanied with typical syndromes(polyuria,polydipsia,polyphagia and weight loss),the other one is not.Generally speaking,the typical syndrome is not obvious among the patients with obesity or overweight,which is coincident with the theory about stuffy and fully sensation in the middle energizer and interior heat mentioned in emperor’s internal classic.So the therapeutic method is regulating the function of the middle energizer,evacuating full and stagnation,resolving phlegm and removing pathogenic heat.The typical syndrome is obvious among the patients with normal bodily form or emaciation,which is according with the traditional theory about defi ciency of yin and dryness-heat.So the therapeutic method is nourishing yin and clearing heat.The two types above are absolutely different.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of compound azintamide enteric-coated tablet on abdominal fullness in patients with functional dyspepsia, chronic cholecystitis with gallbladder stones, or liver cirrhosis. Methods Twenty patients with functional dyspepsia, 20 with chronic cholecystitis and gallbladder stones, and 20 with liver cirrhosis were enrolled in the study. Compound azintamide enteric-coated tablets were given 2 tablets 3 times daily for 4 weeks. The changes of symptom scores of abdominal fullness were investigated after the treatment. Water loading tests were carried out in patients with functional dyspepsia and chronic cholecystitis with gallbladder stones before and after the medication. Results Compound azintamide enteric-coated tablets greatly improved the symptom of abdominal fullness in each group of patients. Symptom scores were significantly decreased in 2 and 4 weeks (P
