RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of self-made Xiaogan Tiaopi Kaiwei Decoction combined with conventional western medicine therapy in the treatment of infantile anorexia of spleen-stomach weakness.Methods:Randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 children with anorexia of spleen-stomach weakness ,who were treated in the First Clinical Medical College of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine between April 2020 and September 2021, were selected as the observation subjects in a prospective cohort study, and they were divided into two groups by the random number table method, with 50 in each group. The control group was given routine treatment, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) group was given self-made Xiaogan Tiaopi Kaiwei Decoction on the basis of the control group. The TCM syndromes were scored before and after treatment. The levels of trace elements such as iron, zinc and calcium were detected by atomic spectrometer, the absorptivity of D-xylose was measured by colorimetry. The adverse events during treatment were recorded. After 6 months of follow-up, the height, weight and BMI were measured and recorded, and the clinical efficacy was assessed.Results:The total response rate was 96.0% (48/50) in the TCM group and that in the control group was 84.0% (42/50) ( χ2=4.00, P=0.046). The scores of decreased appetite, anorexia, sallow complexion, abdominal fullness and distention and shortness of breath and laziness to speak and total score in the TCM group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=12.47, 13.42, 14.19, 16.39, 9.15, 17.72, P<0.01). The levels of blood trace elements such as iron [(414.58 ± 57.52) mg/L vs. (350.85 ± 53.33) mg/L, t=5.75 ], zinc [(8.26 ± 1.55) mg/L vs. (7.64 ± 1.37) mg/L, t=2.12 ] and calcium [(77.26 ± 15.30) mg/L vs. (71.05±14.26) mg/L, t=2.10] and urine D-xylose absorption rate [(31.76±5.28) % vs. (27.97 ± 4.61) %, t=3.82 ] in the TCM group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). During treatment, there was no serious adverse reaction in the TCM group and 1 case of nausea in the control group. There was no statistical significance in the incidence rate of adverse reactions between the two groups ( χ2=1.01, P=0.315). After follow-up, the weight in the TCM group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( t=2.17, P=0.032). Conclusion:Self-made Xiaogan Tiaopi Kaiwei Decoction combined with conventional western medicine therapy can relieve the clinical symptoms, promote the absorption of trace elements and improvement of spleen-stomach function, and enhance the long-term efficacy in the treatment of children with anorexia of spleen-stomach weakness, and it has no adverse reactions.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Zisheng Pill Formula （资生丸方， ZPF） in the treatment of malignant tumor targeted drugs-related diarrhea with spleen-stomach weakness syndrome. MethodsThis was an randomized controlled study， involving 34 cases in the treatment group and 33 cases in the control group. The treatment group was given ZPF decoction， one dose daily by twice， 200 ml each time， while the control group was given montmorillonite powder， three times per day， 3 g each time， with the first dose doubled， both groups for two weeks. The diarrhea frequency， stool characteristics， common terminology criteria for adverse events （CTCAE） for diarrhea， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score， the European organization for research on treatment of cancer （EORTC） quality of life questionnaire （EORTC QOL-C30） score， levels of serum intestinal functional indicators including diamine oxidase （DAO）， D-lactic acid （D-LA）， endotoxin （ET） levels were evaluated before and after treatment， and the safety was assessed. ResultsThere were 33 cases in the treatment group and 32 cases in the control group in terms of the per-protocol set （PPS）. The total effective rate of diarrhea of the treatment group and control group was 84.85% and 37.50%， respectively， and the total effective rate of TCM syndromes was 93.94% and 34.38%， with statistically significant differences between the groups （P＜0.01）. After treatment， the frequency of diarrhea and CTCAE grade decreased in both groups， with improved stool characteristics， increased overall health score， and decreased DAO， D-LA and ET levels； in the treatment group， the frequency of diarrhea， the TCM symptom scores in terms of stool characteristics， fear of cold and cold limbs， fatigue， numbness， nausea and vomiting， abdominal distension and abdominal pain were reduced， while the physical function score increased； in the control group， the frequency of diarrhea， stool characteristics and abdominal pain score decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The results favored the treatment group than the control group in all the outcomes except for the nausea and vomiting score， abdominal pain score， overall health score， physical function score， and ET level （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. During the treatment， one case of gastrointestinal infection and one case of constipation occurred in the treatment group， while one case of tumor progression in the control group. ConclusionZPF can effectively improve the clinical symptoms， increase quality of life， decrease serum DAO， D-LA and ET levels， and is safe when treating malignant tumor targeted drug-related diarrhea with spleen-stomach weakness syndrome. The possible mechanism may be related to the repair of intestinal mucosa barrier function.
