Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Tianqi Jiangtang capsules combined with metformin on blood viscosity, cognitive disorder in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral microvascular lesions.Methods 76 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral microvascular lesions were divided into the observation group and the control group according to odd and even numbers, 38 cases in each group.The observation group were given Tianqi Jiangtang capsules combined with metformin while the control group were received metformin alone.The clinical curative effect, adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.The total score of TCM symptoms, blood glucose, blood lipid, high-sensitivity C reactive protein(hs-CRP), hemorheology and Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE)scores were determined before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate in the observation group(89.47%)was significantly higher than that in the control group(71.05%)(P< 0.05);After treatment, the total score of TCM symptoms, FPG, 2 h PG, hs-CRP, TC, TG, LDL-C, whole blood viscosity at high shear, whole blood viscosity at low shear, plasma viscosity and hematocrit were significantly lower than those before treatment, while MMSE scores were significantly higher(P< 0.05), and the above indexes in the observation group after treatment were significantly better than those in the control group(P< 0.05).There were no significant adverse reactions in the 2 groups.Conclusion Tianqi Jiangtang Capsules combined with metformin is safe and effective in the treatment of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral microvascular lesions.It can significantly improve lipid metabolism and hemorheology, reduce blood viscosity, and alleviate cognitive disorder.
