Résumé
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of withdrawal therapy based on regulating nutritive qi and defensive qi(shortened to Tiaohe Yingwei method)in treating sedative-hypnotic dependent insomnia of disharmony between nutritive qi and defensive qi type.Methods Ninety patients with sedative-hypnotic dependent insomnia of disharmony between nutritive qi and defensive qi type were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group,with 45 patients in each group.The control group was given oral use of Estazolam by 25%of weekly dose-reduction,while the treatment group was treated with Chinese medicinal decoction of Tiaohe Yingwei Zhumian Prescription based on Tiaohe Yingwei method together with Estazolam.The treatment course for the two groups lasted for 4 weeks.The changes of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores,total TCM syndrome scores,and Drug-withdrawal Syndrome Scale(DWSS)scores in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.After treatment,the efficacy for improving sleep efficiency value(IUSEV)and clinical safety in the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,2 cases fell off in the treatment group,and 43 cases included in the statistics;3 cases fell off in the control group,and 42 cases included in the statistics.(2)After 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate for improving IUSEV of the treatment group was 88.37%(38/43),and that of the control group was 61.90%(26/42).The intergroup comparison by non-parametric rank-sum test showed that the efficacy for improving IUSEV in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,obvious reduction was shown in the overall PSQI scores and the scores of the items of sleep quality,time for falling asleep,sleep time,sleep efficiency,sleep disorder and daytime dysfunction in the two groups when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05).The intergroup comparison showed that except for the items of sleep disorder and daytime dysfunction,the treatment group had stronger effect on decreasing the scores of the remaining items and the overall PSQI scores than the control group(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the total scores of TCM syndromes of both groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of the total scores of TCM syndrome in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the total DWSS scores of the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the effect on lowering the scores in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(6)During the course of treatment,no significant adverse reactions occurred in the two groups,or no abnormal changes were found in the safety indexes such as routine test of blood,urine and stool,liver and kidney function,and electrocardiogram of the patients.Conclusion Withdrawal therapy based on Tiaohe Yingwei method exerts certain effect for the treatment of sedative-hypnotic dependent insomnia of disharmony between nutritive qi and defensive qi type.The therapy is effective on improving the quality of sleep and reducing the incidence of drug-withdrawal syndrome,and has a high safety.
Résumé
The qualitative analysis method of RRLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS was established for determine the chemical constituents in Qige Keli. Kramosil C₁₈ column (4.6 mm×150 mm, 3.5 μm) was used at the temperature of 30 °C. The mobile phase was 0.2% formic acid and acetonitrile by gradient elution, with a flow rate at 1.0 mL·min⁻¹, and the injection volume was 10 μL. The high-resolution quadrupole time-flight mass spectrometry was used as detector with electrospray ion source in both positive and negative models. On the basis of medicinal materials, reference materials, literature reports, and mass spectrometry data, the chemical composition in the Qige Keli was identified. A total of 44 compounds were identified, including 3 flavonoids, 21 flavonoid glycosides, 8 organic acids, 6 lactones, and 3 saponins. The results laid the foundation for the quality control of Qige Keli and the further research on pharmacodynamic materials.
