RESUMO
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of the modified Buzhong Yiqitang combined with Erxian decoction in treating stress urinary incontinence （SUI） of perimenopausal women due to spleen and kidney Qi deficiency. Method:One hundred and six patients were randomly divided into a control group （52 cases） and an observation group（54 cases）. Patients in both groups received lifestyle intervention and pelvic floor muscle training （PFMT）. On this basis， patients in the observation group were further treated with the modified Buzhong Yiqitang combined with Erxian decoction， 1 bag/day， while those in the control group were provided with Suoquan pills， 6 g/time， 2 times/day， for eight weeks. Following the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form （ICIQ-SF） scoring before and after treatment， the urodynamic parameters such as maximum urinary flow rate （Q<sub>max</sub>）， maximum urethral closure pressure （MUCP）， residual urine volume （RUV）， abdominal pressure leakage point pressure （ALPP）， and bladder capacity （BC） were measured. The number of incontinence episodes per 24 h， the degree of urinary incontinence， the amount of 1 h urine leakage， and the spleen and kidney Qi deficiency syndrome score were recorded before and after treatment. The levels of estradiol （E<sub>2</sub>）， follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）， pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide （PACAP）， and vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP） were measured before and after treatment. Result:The ICIQ-SF sub-scores of the urinary incontinence frequency， severity， and impact on quality of life as well as the total score in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Q<sub>max</sub>， MUCP， ALPP and BC in the observation group were elevated in contrast to those in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）， while the RUV declined （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Compared with the control group， the observation group exhibited a decreased number of incontinence episodes per 24 h， milder degree of urinary incontinence， reduced amount of 1 h urine leakage， and lower spleen and kidney Qi deficiency syndrome score （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. The E<sub>2</sub>， PACAP， and VIP in the observation group were up-regulated as compared with those in the control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）， whereas the FSH was down-regulated （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. The cure and effective rates of the observation group were （29/50） 58.00% and （47/50）94.00%， respectively， significantly better than （18/48）37.50% and （38/48）79.17% of the control group （<italic>χ</italic><sup>2</sup>=4.124， <italic>χ</italic><sup>2</sup>=4.683， <italic>P</italic><0.05）. Conclusion:On the basis of the lifestyle intervention and PFMT， the modified Buzhong Yiqitang combined with Erxian decoction obviously alleviates urinary incontinence， adjusts sex hormones， PACAP and VIP， ameliorates urodynamic parameters， and enhances the quality of life of patients with SUI due to spleen and kidney Qi deficiency. The resulting cure and effective rates are superior to those of the positive control.
RESUMO
Objective: To observe the effect of Shoutaiwan and Shaoyao Gancao Tang on recurrent spontaneous abortion due to spleen and kidney Qi deficiency. Method: Totally 80 eligible patients were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group, with 90 cases in each group. The control group was treated with lymphocyte immune; the Shoutaiwan and Shaoyao Gancao Tang combined with lymphocyte immune was applied in the treatment group. Coagulation function[the part plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), fibrinogen (FIB), type plasminogen activator (t-PA), prothrombin time (PT), D-dimer (D-D) and tissue factor (TF), fibrin peptide A (FPA), fibrinogen (Fig), Plasminase-antifibrinolytic complex (PAP), glycoprotein platelet particle-140 (GMP-140), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT)], serum closed antibody (CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+), inflammatory factor interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10)]were scored after the treatment. The rates of birth and adverse reactions in each group were compared. The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome differentiation of abortion spleen and kidney Qi deficiency was scored. Result: 5 cases were lost during the study period. The term delivery rate was 92.0%in the treatment group, which was higher than 73.6%in control group (PP+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+), inflammatory factors (IFN-γ,TNF-α,IL-1β) and TCM syndrome scores were significantly lower in the treatment group than that in control group (P+), inflammatory factors IL-10 were significantly increased compared with the control group (PPConclusion: Shoutaiwan and Shaoyao Gancao Tang have a remarkable effect on recurrent spontaneous abortion case by spleen and kidney Yang deficiency.
