Efficacy of Modified Bushen Huoxuetang on Kidney Deficiency and Blood Stasis Type Early Unexplained Recurrent Abortion and Its Effect on Intestinal Flora / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of modified Bushen Huoxuetang on kidney deficiency and blood stasis type early unexplained recurrent abortion and its effect on intestinal flora. Method:Totally 90 patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis type early unexplained recurrent abortion were selected from March 2017 to October 2018.According to the random number table, they were divided into control group and observation group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group was given Bushen Huoxue capsule, while the observation group was given modified Bushen Huoxuetang. After treatment, the clinical efficacy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores and adverse reactions of two groups were compared, and the changes of serum inflammatory factors, coagulation function and intestinal flora were detected before and after treatment. Result:After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 91.11%, which was higher than 77.78%of the control group (P<0.05). The scores of TCM syndromes in observation group were significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and prothrombin time (PT) in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group, while fibrinogen (FIB) was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). The numbers of enterococcus, yeast and Enterobacter in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group, while the numbers of bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus in observation group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was 11.11%, which was lower than 28.89%of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Modified Bushen Huoxuetang has a good clinical efficacy in treating kidney deficiency and blood stasis type early unexplained recurrent abortion, and can reduce the TCM syndrome score. Its mechanism may be related to the reduction of inflammation, and improvement of coagulation function and intestinal flora, with a good safety.
