ABSTRACT
Peripheral neuritis is one of the main common diabetes complications. Long-term development of the disease can cause gradual decreasing of nerve function or even muscle atrophy and movement difficulty. The Mongolian medicineErdun-wurile is a commonly used as a tendon-relaxing and collateral-activating medication in the clinical practice. It had good therapeutic effects in the treatment of nervous system diseases. In recent years, it has also been used in the treatment of diabetes complications. This paper provided an overview on clinical reports about Mongolian medicineErdun-wurile in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuritis.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Zhiyu presciption is composed of Whitmania pigra (Whitman) and Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. etc. It treats mainly for diabetic peripheral neuritis. To study the pharmacologic effects of Zhiyu prescription in this paper. Methods:The analgesic effect of Zhiyu presciption was examined through writhe method in mice, and the functions of Zhiyu prescription on extrinsic thrombosia and platelet aggregation in normal rats were observed. The model of alloxan induced diabetes in mice was established, the effect of Zhiyu prescription on blood glucose level was detected. The functions of nervus electrophysiology were examined on the model rats of diabetic peripheral neuritis induced by streptozotocin. Results: Zhiyu prescription could decrease the numbers of writhes of mice caused by acetic acid, reduce the blood glucose level in alloxan induced diabetic mice, improve the nervus conduction velocity of motor nerve.Conclusion: Zhiyu prescription is effective in clinical treatment of diabetic peripheral neuritis.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To discuss the mechanism of action of Zhiyu Granules on treating diabetic peripheral neuritis. METHODS: The model of diabetic peripheral neuritis in mice was induced by streptozotocin.The effect of Zhiyu Granules on the contents of sciatic nerve inositol in model mice through ELSD(evaporative light scattering detector) was examined,and the activity of Na~+-K~+ pump in sciatic nerve was measured,and the activity of SOD and the contents of MDA in erythrocytes were detected,and the ultrastructures of sciatic nerve,pancreas and kidney in model mice were observed by electric microscope. RESULTS: Zhiyu Granules could increase the contents of sciatic nerve inositol in model rats,and enhance the activity of Na~+-K~+ pump,and improve the ultrastructures of sciatic nerve and pancreas cell.Zhiyu Granules couldn't improve the ultrastructure of renal corpuscles,or affect the activity of SOD and the contents of MDA in erythrocytes of model mice yet. CONCLUSION: Zhiyu Granules is effective in clinical treatment of diabetic peripheral neuritis.
