But among the test group, the hemoglobin in-creased obviously, the symptons of fatigue, lassitude in loin and legs, lack of appetite, sexual disorder,and mental depression improved markedly (P<0. 01) . and estradiol, progesterone, testosterone as wellas creatine phosphokinase were regulated notably compared with before treatment (P<0.01) . Whereasin the control group, the symptoms were not significantly improved, hemoglobin, levels of sex hormonesand creatine phosphokinase differed slightly. It is concluded that Baoyuan Dahuang Decoction possessesefficacy to improve chronic renal failure patients' vitality and ability, the mechanism of which is related toanemia rectification and membrane function.展开更多

Patients with T2DM who met the inclusion criteria between January 1,2013 and January 1, 2014 were enrolled. The effects of the treatment were evaluated by the changes in fasting blood-glucose(FBG), postprandial blood sugar(PBG), hemoglobin A1c(Hb Alc), blood lipid profiles and body mass index(BMI) at 1, 2, 3 and 6 months. The changes in main symptoms were alsoevaluated. The dosage of Huanglian(Rhizoma Coptidis) and related factors were analyzed.RESULTS: There was a significant improvement in mean Hb A1C at 3 and 6 months after DHXD treatment compared with the baseline level(P < 0.01).There were also significant improvements in FBG,PBG, blood lipid series and BMI. DHXD also improved the main symptoms of stomach and intestine excessive heat syndrome in patients with obese T2DM. Huanglian(Rhizoma Coptidis) was the most frequently used in 678 clinical visits, the dosage of Huanglian(Rhizoma Coptidis) was related to age, BMI, DM duration, the level of blood glucose,and use of Western hypoglycemic drugs.CONCLUSION: This study suggests that DHXD could decrease blood glucose and improve T2DM symptoms and reduce body weight. The use of DHXD may indicate a new optional treatment for T2 DM.展开更多
