Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;34(5):635-639
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of modified Liuwei Dihuang Decoction (LDD) combined with metformin plus atorvastatin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with hyperlipidemia. Methods A total of 120 cases of T2DM patients complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into study group (N=60) and control group (N=60), which were treated with LDD combined with metformin plus atorvastatin orally, and with oral use of metformin plus atorvastatin respectively. The course of treatment lasted for 12 weeks. Before and after treatment, we compared the blood levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1C), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) in the two groups. After treatment, we evaluated the therapeutic effect of the two groups. Results (1) The total effective rate of the study group was 95.0%, and that of the control group was 83.3%, the effective rate of the study group being significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). (2) After treatment, the blood levels of FBG, 2hPG and HbA1C of both groups were significantly lower than pre-treatment levels (P <0.001), and the levels of FBG, 2hPG and HbA1C of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01 or P<0.001). (3) After treatment, the TC, TG and LDL-C levels of both groups were significantly lower and HDL-C was higher than pre-treatment levels (P < 0.001); the levels of TC and TG levels of the study group were significantly lower and HDL-C was higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). Conclusion LDD combined with metformin plus atorvastatin exerts certain effect for the treatment of T2DM complicated with hyperlipidemia, and is more effective than metformin or atorvastatin alone.

BACKGROUND: The change of the axial angle of the lower limb is related to the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation between the change of lower limb power line and pain area in the knee osteoarthritis patients.METHODS: Totally 65 knee osteoarthritis patients were selected as pain group and 30 healthy people were selected as control group. All the participants took anteroposterior and lateral knee radiographs through PACS imaging systems to collect six imaging indexes, including install index, the degree of tibiofemoral joint subluxation, tibiofemoral inside and outside joint clearance ratio, femoral angle, tibial angle and tibiofemoral angle. Knee osteoarthritis patients in pain group were divided into two common clinical pain areas which were proparea and medial area.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The insall index, the degree of tibiofemoral joint subluxation, tibiofemoral inside andoutside joint clearance ratio between knee osteoarthritis patients in pain group and people in healthy control group hadsignificant differences. There was no statistical significance in the femoral angle, tibial angle and tibiofemoral angle. (2) In terms of the comparison between proparea and medial area in knee osteoarthritis patients in pain group, tibiofemoral joint subluxation degree was statistically different. (3) These findings suggest that there was a higher patella in knee osteoarthritis patients who were in pain, more severe in the degree of tibiofemoral joint subluxation, and more limited in tibiofemoral inside and outside joint clearance ratio. The degree of tibiofemoral joint subluxation of proparea was more severe than medial area in pain group.
