Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Jianpi-Yishen Decoction in treating sarcopenia aged patients with syndrome of spleen-kidney deficiency and cold-dampness. Methods:Eighty-two sarcopenia aged patients admitted to Beijing Longfu hospital from January of 2018 to May of 2019 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group with 41 patients in each group according to the random number table. Patients in the control group were given routine western treatment such as nutritional support. In the observation group, the patients were given Jianpi-Yishen Decoction based on the control group. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Before and after the treatment, the upper limb muscle strength, scores of symptoms of syndrome of spleen-kidney deficiency and cold-dampness, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome, and serum level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were compared between the two groups. Results:During the treatment, one patient in the control group was dropped out. The total effective rate was 95.1% (39/41) in the observation group and 72.5% (29/40) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=6.103, P=0.013). After the treatment, the scores of languid limbs, cold limbs, weak waist and knee, clear urine and loose stool in the observation group were obviously lower than those of the control group ( t values were 9.964, 12.510, 14.103, 13.415, 14.599, respectively, all Ps<0.01). The left hand grip strength (52.75±7.91 kg vs. 46.10 ± 7.22 kg, t=3.954) and the right hand grip strength (53.93 ± 8.09 kg vs. 48.55 ± 7.17 kg, t=3.169) were both higher than those of the control group ( P<0.01). Serum level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (23.90 ± 3.34 ng/L vs. 19.44 ± 3.15 ng/L, t=6.184) were higher than those of the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Jianpi-Yishen Decoction in treating sarcopenia aged patients with syndrome of spleen-kidney deficiency and cold-dampness can effectively relieve the symptoms, up-regulate serum level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 with clinical efficacy.
