Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Bushen Jianpi Prescription,a prescription with the actions of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the spleen,combined with short-term intensive insulin therapy on dedifferentiation of pancreatic beta-cells in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)of spleen and kidney deficiency type.Methods Seventy patients with T2DM of spleen and kidney deficiency type were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 35 cases in each group.The control group was treated with intensive insulin therapy,and the observation group was treated with Bushen Jianpi Prescription on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for 2 weeks.The changes of TCM syndrome score,and levels of blood glucose,serum high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),interleukin 1β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and the ratio of proinsulin to insulin(PI/I)in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.Results(1)During the treatment,one case in the control group and 2 cases in the observation group fell off.Eventually,34 cases in the control group and 33 cases in the observation group were included in the efficacy statistics.(2)After treatment,the scores of TCM syndromes in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the levels of fasting plasma glucose(FPG)and 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose(2hPG)in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the level of HMGB1 in the two groups was significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factors of IL-1β and TNF-α in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(6)After treatment,the PI/I ratio of the two groups was significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Bushen Jianpi Prescription combined with short-term intensive insulin therapy can effectively improve the islet function of patients with T2DM of spleen and kidney deficiency type.The mechanism may be related to the relief of high-glucose toxicity and the decrease of the inflammatory factor levels,thus to inhibit the dedifferentiation of pancreatic beta-cells.
