Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Many diabetic patients get microcirculation disturbance due to abnormal hemorheology In a long-term angiopathy,which finally induces severe complications.OBJECTTVE:TO observe the influence of Yishen decoction on hemorheology in patients with diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy and compare with the healthy controls.DESIGN:Controlled observational experimentSETFING:First Clinical Medical College,Harbin Medical University.PARTICIPANTS:Seventy-six inpatients with diabetes mellitus were enrolled at Department of Integrated Traditional and Westem Medicine,First Clinical Medical College,Harbin Medical University from January 1998 to December 2000 as diabetes mellitus group.Sixty-five inpatients with diabetic nephropathy were selected at the same hospital from January 1994 to February 2001 as diabetic nephropathy group.130 healthy subjects,who did body examination,were selected at the same hospital in 1993 as control group,including 98 males and 32 females,with an average age of(42±12)years.All subjects in the three groups knew the program and agreed to participate in the experimont.METHODS:The patients received conventional treatment combined with Yishen decoction containing herba epimedii,herba leonuri,astragalus mongholicus,each 20 g,barbary wolfberry fruit,solomonseal rhizome,gold theragran,dioscorea root,rhubarb,each 15 g,cowherb seed 25 g,as well as sanguisuge 0.8 g(taken medicine after mixing with water).These Chinese herbs were decocted at a simmer(200 mL),taken in the morning and evening respectively for 4 weeks.2 mL venous blood was collected from fasting subjects in the case groups.Hemorheology was measured before and after treatment in the case groups,whereas in body examination in the control group MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Hemorheological indexes.RESULTS:A total of 76 subjects with diabetes mellitus,65 subjects with diabetic nephropathy and 130 healthy subjects were involved in the result analysis.①Whole blood viscosity,plasma viscosity and plasma fibrinogen levels were obviouslv higher in the subjects of the diabetes mellitus group compared with the control group before treatment(P＜0.05-0.01). These changes were more significant in subjects of the diabetic nephropathy group(P＜0.01).Hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation equation K value were obviously higher in the diabetic nephropathy group than the control group(P＜0.01)Whole blood viscosity level,hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation equation K value were markedly hiaher in the diabetic nephropathy group than the diabetes mellitus group before treatment(P＜0 05-0.01). ②Whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity levels,hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation equation K value were remarkably decreased in the case groups and most recovered to normal(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION: Yishen decoction can ameliorate the hemorheology of diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy patients.
