Clinical Research of Hugan Jiangzhi Decoction in the Treatment of 50 Patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Objective: To observe the clinical curative efficacy of Hugan Jiangzhi decoction and the influence on levels of serous adiponectin
leptin and superoxide dismutase(SOD) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD). Method: Ninety-eight patients with NAFLD were randomly divided into control group and observation group of 49 patients each by random number table.Patients in control group received metformin hydrochloride tablets (0.25 g orally 3 times daily)
lovastatin tablets (20 mg orally once daily)
and polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules (2 capsules orally 3 times daily).Based on the treatment of control group
patients in observation group added modified Hugan Jiangzhi decoction 1 dose daily.The patients in both groups received two 12 weeks periods of treatment.Patient underwent abdominal computed tomography (CT) before and after treatment
and liver/spleen CT ratio was calculated.Levels of alanineaminotransferase(ALT)
aspertate aminotransferase(AST)
triglyceride(TG)
total cholesterol(TC)
high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C) were detected.Levels of serum adiponectin
leptin and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected.Body mass index(BMI)
waist hip rate and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) were measured before and after treatment. Result: The total effective rate in observation group was 95.92%
which is superior to that in control group(81.63%
P<0.05).The liver/spleen CT ratio was higher in observation group than that in control group after treatment(P<0.05).The levels of ALT
AST
TC
TG and LDL-C were lower
and the level of HDL-C was higher in observation group than those in control group(P<0.01).The SOD and adiponectin level were higher
leptin level was lower in observation group than those in control group after treatment(P<0.01).The BMI and waist
hip circumference in both two groups after treatment increased as compared with those before
but there was no statistically significant difference between two groups.IR levelin observation group was lower than that in control group after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion: Hugan Jiangzhi decoction haseffectsonliver protection and lipid-loweringin patientswith NAFLD.Beside it has obvious effect in improving NAFLD and increasing clinical curative effect.The mechanism may be achieved by regulating inflammatory cytokines
increasing antioxidant capacity and improving IR of patients.
