Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Xiaoer anorexia granule combined with Saccharomyces brassicus in the treatment of infantile anorexia and its effect on serum cytokines. Method: Totally 240 cases of infantile anorexia treated in Jinhua People's Hospital from October 2015 to October 2017 were randomly divided into three groups. Group A (combination group) orally took Xiaoer anorexia granule, 1 pack/time for 1-3 years old, 2 packs/time for 4-6 years old, 3 times a day, and combined with saccharomyces brasiliensis, 0.5 g/time, 2 times a day, 15-30 min before meal. Group B took saccharomyces brasiliensis by the same method as the combination group. Group C took Xiaoer anorexia granules by the same method as above,with 80 cases in each group. 8 weeks is a course of treatment. Serum inflammatory cytokines leptin, SP and Ghrelin were also detected. The clinical efficacy, body weight, height improvement and serum cytokine levels were observed in 3 groups. Result: The total improvement rate of group A was 91.25%, which was significantly higher than 71.25%of group B and 73.75%of group C, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). The total effective rate of group A was 95.00%, which was significantly higher than 71.25%of group B and 70.005%of group C, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). After 8 weeks of treatment, the serum leptin level in group A was significantly lower than that in group B and group C (P<0.01). The levels of serum SP and Ghrelin in group A were higher than those in group B and C (P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in cytokine between group B and group C. The 3 groups of patients who received effective treatment were followed up for 6 months (excluding missing cases). There was no significant difference in body weight and height among three groups before treatment. After treatment, the body weight and height of three groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01). However, group A was superior to group B and group C (P<0.01). There was no significant difference between group B and group C. Conclusion: Treatment of infantile anorexia with Xiaoer anorexia granules combined with Saccharomyces cerevisiae can improve the total clinical effective rate, adjust serum cytokine levels and increase height and body mass.
