RESUMO
AIM: To study the clinical efficacy of Jinchang Capsule for the treatment of type 2 diabetes of blood-stasis syndrome. METHODS: From JAN.2001 to OCT.2004, 48 cases were divided randomly into two groups.32 cases in the treatment group were treated with oral Jinchang Capsule combined with Western medicine therapy, and 22 cases in the control group were simply treated with Western medicine therapy, with a course of 8 weeks. The changes of clinical symptoms, and fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 h post prandial glucose(2hFBG), HbAlc, total cholesterol (Tc), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c) levels, and hemorheological parameters were analysed. The safety of the medicine was evaluated also. RESULTS: After treatment, the clinical symptomatic integrals were decreased remarkably in the treatment group (P0.05). There was no significant side-effect in the treatment group. CONCLUSION: The results obtained suggest that Jinchang Capsule can improve the clinical symptomatic integrals and remarkably enhance total clinical efficacy. Combining with the basic Western medicinal treatment of diabetes, it can control the obstinate hyperglycemia, and improve fat metabolism as well as bemorheological parameters. It has indicated that Jinchang Capsule has multipurpose therapeutic actions for diabetes mellitus.
