Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effect of Jiechang Buxu pills on chronic relapsing ulcerative colitis (syndrome of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency) and the repair effect on mucosal barrier injury. MethodA total of 108 patients were randomly assigned into observation (54 cases) and control (54 cases) groups. Both groups were treated with mesalazine enteric-coated tablets, 0.5 g/time, 3 times/d. In addition, the observation group received Jiechang Buxu pills, 10 g/time, 3 times/d, and the control group received simulant of Jiechang Buxu pills, 10 g/time, 3 times/d. Both groups were treated for 3 consecutive months. During monthly follow-up, clinical response, clinical remission rate, C-reactive protein (CRP) compliance rate, fecal calprotectin (FC) compliance rate, and endoscopic mucosal healing rate were compared. The early recurrence rate was recorded after 3 months of follow-up. The modified Mayo score, mucosal histological score, colonoscopic mucosal score, inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ) score, and syndrome score of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency were compared before and after treatment. The levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), diamine oxidase (DAO), D-lactic acid (D-LA), interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-22, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), T helper 17 (Th17), and regulatory T cells (Treg), and Th17/Treg ratio were measured and calculated before and after treatment. ResultThe clinical response rate, clinical remission rate, and CRP compliance rate in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01) 1, 2 and 3 months after treatment. The FC compliance rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05) 2 and 3 months after treatment. After treatment, the observation group had higher endoscopic mucosal healing rate (P<0.01) and lower early recurrence rate (P<0.05) than the control group. In addition, the observation group had lower Mayo score, mucosal histological score, colonoscopic mucosal score, and syndrome score of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency (P<0.01), higher IBDQ score (P<0.01), lower levels of HIF-1α, DAO, D-LA, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, TNF-α, Th17, and Th17/Treg and higher levels of IL-22 and Treg (P<0.01) than the control group. ConclusionJiechang Buxu pills combined with mesalazine enteric-coated tablets can improve the clinical response rate, clinical remission rate, CRP compliance rate, FC compliance rate, and endoscopic mucosal healing rate, reduce the early recurrence rate and disease activity, promote histological remission, and improve the quality of life in the patients with chronic relapsing ulcerative colitis (syndrome of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency). The therapy may exert the therapeutic effect by inhibiting inflammation, inducing intestinal mucosal immune tolerance, and protecting the function of intestinal mucosal barrier.
