ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jianpi Bushen Zhixie Recipe combined with conventional western medicine therapy in the treatment of diabetic diarrhea patients with spleen and kidney yang-deficiency syndrome.Methods:According to the random number table method, 62 patients with diabetic diarrhea with spleen and kidney yang-deficiency syndrome from June 2019 to June 2021 in Shunyi Hospital of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, who met the inclusion criteria, were divided into two groups, with 31 in each group. The control group was treated with standardized hypoglycemic and mecobalamin treatment, while the treatment group was treated with Jianpi Bushen Zhixie Recipe on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks and followed up for 2 weeks. Before and after treatment, TCM syndrome scores and Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) scores were performed before and after treatment. The Health Related Quality of Life Scale (SF-36) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients. The number of bowel movements and adverse reactions during treatment were recorded before and after treatment, and followed up for 2 weeks to observe the disease recurrence rate.Results:The total effective rate was 93.55% (29/31) in the treatment group and 74.19% (23/31) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between both groups ( χ2=5.44, P=0.020). After treatment, the number of bowel movements in the treatment group [(1.02±0.23) times/d vs. (2.35±0.45) times/d, t=14.65] was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01); the BSFS scores (1.93±0.43 vs. 3.23±0.43, t=11.87) and TCM syndrome score (0.93±0.25 vs. 1.95±0.36, t=12.96) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01); the SF-36 score (92.32±2.99 vs. 86.23±3.12, t=7.85) in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). No gastrointestinal adverse events were found in both groups during treatment. During the follow-up period, there were 4 cases (4/23) of recurrence in the control group after treatment, and no recurrence in the treatment group. There was a statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups ( χ2=4.28, P=0.039). Conclusion:The Jianpi Bushen Zhixie Recipe combined with conventional western medicine can improve symptoms and quality of life of patients with diabetic diarrhea with spleen and kidney yang-deficiency syndrome, reduce adverse reactions and recurrence rate.
