Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2021;28(4):504-509
Objective:To investigate the protective effect of dagglitazine on cardiovascular and renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 200 patients with type 2 diabetes patients with poor blood glucose control who received treatment in Huxi Hospital Affiliated to Jining Medical University (Shanxian Central Hospital) from January to December 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive treatment with either metformin ( n = 100, control group) or dagglitazine ( n = 100, observation group) based on diet control and exercise therapy for 12 weeks. Before and after treatment, blood glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure, body mass index, cardiac function and renal function were compared between the control and observation groups. Adverse reactions were also monitored in each group. Results:After treatment, blood glucose, blood lipid, body mass index, cardiac function and renal function in each group were improved compared with before treatment (all P < 0.05). Fasting blood glucose, 2-h postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index, left ventricular end diastolic diameter, serum creatinine, uric acid and cystatin C in the observation group were (6.48 ± 0.72) mmol/L, (8.03 ± 0.77) mmol/L, (6.16 ± 0.63)%, (126.03 ± 3.86) mmHg, (75.62 ± 2.87) mmHg, (3.83 ± 0.17) mmol/L, (2.21 ± 0.36) mmol/L, (2.34 ± 0.15) mmol/L, (23.03 ± 0.55) kg/m 2, (52.10 ± 2.13) mm, (39.97 ± 1.62) μmol/L, (237.17 ± 20.34) μmol/L, (0.64 ± 0.06) mg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (8.01 ± 0.84) mmol/L, (10.03 ± 0.90) mmol/L, (7.30 ± 0.72)%, (130.06 ± 4.79) mmHg, (79.60 ± 3.19) mmHg, (4.67 ± 0.37) mmol/L, (2.51 ± 0.57) mmol/L, (2.74 ± 0.19) mmol/L, (24.03 ± 0.60) kg/m 2, (57.22 ± 1.74) mm, (80.00 ± 6.88) μmol/L, (281.62 ± 40.52) μmol/L, (0.76 ± 0.09) mg/L, t = 13.850, 16.866, 11.933, 6.549, 9.263, 20.879, 4.469, 16.982, 12.410, 18.634, 10.626, 9.804, 18.876, all P < 0.001). After treatment, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, left ventricular ejection fraction, and the average distance walked by patients during the 6-min walk test in the observation group were (2.47 ± 0.15) mmol/L, (39.97 ± 1.62)%, (366.50 ± 17.74) m, which were significantly superior to those in the control group [(1.70 ± 0.20) mmol/L, (36.77 ± 1.21)%, (323.70 ± 12.48) m, t = 30.255, 16.435, 19.733, all P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Dagglitazine protects cardiovascular and renal function by reducing blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipid, serum creatinine, serum uric acid levels and decreasing body mass index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;39(11):981-984
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of modified Danggui-Sini decoction combined with Mecobalamin on diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methods A total of 104 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy from January 2015 -2016 year in December in our hospital patients were randomly divided into study group and control group, each of 52 patients. The control group was given Mecobalamin 0.5 mg/times. The study group was given modified Danggui-Sini decoction plus the intervention of the observation group. Four weeks were a course of treatment. The clinical effect rates, the incidence of adverse events, change of common peroneal nerve conduction velocity, hemorheological indexes and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results The total effective rate of the study group was 96.2%, which was significantly higher than 82.7% of the control group (χ2=4.981, P<0.05). During treatment, the incidence of adverse events was 5.8% in the study group, and the incidence of adverse events in the control group was 3.9%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between two groups(P<0.05).After treatment,the motor nerve conduction velocity(49.1 ± 4.5 m/s vs.42.8 ± 4.3 m/s) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (40.1 ± 3.7 m/s vs. 36.5 ± 3.9 m/s) in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (t=2.732, 2.723, P<0.05). The whole blood viscosity [(3.72 ± 0.58)mPa?s vs.(4.55 ± 0.47)mPa?s],plasma viscosity[(1.03 ± 0.12)mPa?s vs.(1.78 ± 0.09)mPa?s],erythrocyte blood pressure(31.23% ± 3.19% vs.37.33% ± 4.12%),AGEs(58.44 ± 4.87 ng/L vs.68.03 ± 4.98 ng/L)in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t=2.704, -2.682, -2.737, -2.856, P<0.05). Conclusions The modified Danggui-Sini decoction combined with Mecobalamin on diabetic peripheral neuropathy can improve peripheral nerve conduction velocity, improve curative effect, showed fewer adverse events.

Objective:To investigate the effects of exercise prescription on quality of life in patients with pituitary adenomas after surgery.Methods:A total of 82 patients with pituitary adenomas who met the inclusion criteria from December 2017 to September 2018 were enrolled. The control group received routine nursing care. The intervention group was given exercise prescription on the first day after surgery and 3 months after discharge from hospital. Both groups of patients completed the Health Status Survey(SF-36) before and after the intervention.Results:Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in baseline date of patients between two groups( P>0.05). After intervention, the general health dimension score (53.03±11.30) of the control group was significantly higher than the score within the group before treatment ( Z value was -4.398, P<0.05). The physiological function (86.67±7.46), physical function (66.67±29.28), role-emotional (71.30±22.75), vitality (68.33±8.78), general health dimension (61.39±10.66) of the intervention group were significant higher than the score within the group before treatment ( Z values were -4.809--2.041, P<0.05) . After the intervention, the significant difference were found in role-physical, general health, vitality, social function(77.18±15.71) and physiological health dimensions (73.75±10.00) between the intervention and control group ( Z values were -3.122- -2.467, t value was 3.044, P<0.05). After the intervention, non-function patients′ physiological function (72.06±23.19), general health (60.59±10.75), vitality (69.71±10.23) and social function (81.04±10.22) were significantly higher than the control group ( Z values were -2.832- -2.059, P<0.05). Conclusion:Exercise prescription can improve the quality of life in patients with pituitary adenomas after surgery.
