Effect of Modified Taohe Chengqitang Combined with Colon Hydrotherapy on Inflammatory Factors and Insulin Resistance in Patients with Severe Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
To define the clinical efficacy of modified Taohe Chengqitang combined with colon hydrotherapy in patients with severe nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) accompanied by phlegm-heat stagnation syndrome and its mechanism.
Method:
2
Totally 100 patients with severe NAFLD by phlegm-heat stagnation syndrome were enrolled in the study.They were all given Shanzha Xiaozhi capsule.According to the random number table
the patients were randomly divided into the observation group (50 patients
colon hydrotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine) and the control group (50 patients
Shanzha Xiaozhi capsule alone). The observation period was 4 weeks.The therapeutic effect of colon hydrotherapy was verified through determinations of the liver function
blood lipid
insulin resistance index (IRI)
controlled attenuation parameter (CAP)
tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) before and after treatment.The mechanism of colon hydrotherapy combined with modified Taohe Chengqitang was preliminarily analyzed based on changes of IR
TNF-
α
and IL-6.
Result:
2
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
γ
-glutamyl transpeptadase (
γ
-GT)
total cholesterol (TCH)
triglyceride (TG)
fasting plasma glucose (FPG)
fasting insulins (FINS)
IRI
CAP
TNF-
α
and IL-6 of NAFLD patients in both of two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (
P
<
0.01). ALT
AST
γ
-GT
TCH
TG
FPG
IRI
CAP
TNF-
α
and IL-6 in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment (
P
<
0.01). FINS in observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion:
2
Colon hydrotherapy combined with modified Taohe Chengqitang is an effective method for treating NAFLD accompanied by phlegm-heat stagnation syndrome.Its mechanism may be mainly correlated with the reduction of IRI
serum TNF-
α
and IL-6.The course of colon hydrotherapy
the therapeutic mechanism and the long-term efficacy need to be further studied in the future.
