Abstract:
Recovery of reduced physical strength is important for quality of life after surgery, especially in aged patients. In this report, we demonstrated the effect of Ninjin-youei-to (NIN) on prostatauxe after surgery, and also studied clinical effects of NIN by a traditional Chinese method to assess the patients.
Following this method, patients were classified as belonging to one of three groups (Sho) such as Kyo-sho (condition of deficiency, n=8) and Jitsu-sho (condition of excess, n=15). Patients were judged by the original score to determine the type of Sho. The score value was low in patients with Kyo-sho and high with Jitsu-sho. Total recovery rate from disorders was 70.6% after NIN-treatment, and the value of patients with Jitsu-sho was significantly higher than that of patients with Kyo-sho (P=0.049). The mid-value of scores after NIN-treatment was higher than the value at the start (P=0.002), particularly in the group of patients with Kyo-sho (P=0.039).
Additionally, the score to determine the type of Sho became higher after NIN-treatment in patients with improved scores for skin condition and sweat volume. These results indicate that NIN will be useful for patients with Kyo-sho who suffer from systemic wasting diseases.
