Effect of Tongluo Huazhuo Decoction on Carotid Intima-media Thickness in Patients with Diabetes Disease
Objective: To discuss the influence of Tongluo Huazhuo decoction on carotid intima-media thickness (IMT)
serum inflammatory factors and endothelial function in treating diabetes disease. Method: Ninety-six patients with carotid artery IMT of type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into the control group (48 cases) and the observation group (48 cases) by a random number table. Patients in the control group received 20 mg atorvastatin calcium tablets at night once daily. Based on the treatment of the control group
patients in the observation group added 1 dose Tongluo Huazhuo decoction once daily. All patients in two groups received 4 months of treatment. Before and after the treatment
carotid IMT and artery plaque area were detected
and levels of triglyceride (TG)
total cholesterol (TC)
high density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) were also detected. Besides
fasting blood glucose (FBG)
fasting insulin (FINS) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) were detected and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated
while levels of tumour necrosises factor-α (TNF-α)
high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
adiponectin (APN)
homocysteine (HCY) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) were detected. Result: The carotid IMT and artery plaques area in two groups declined compared with the data before treatment (P<0.01). The carotid IMT and artery plaques area in the observation group were less than those in the control group (P<0.01). TC level in the observation group was lower
while the HDL-C level was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). FBG
HbA1c
FINS and HOMA-IR of both groups decreased after treatment (P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between two groups. TNF-α
hs-CRP
Hcy and vWF levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). Besides
the APN level was lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Tongluo Huazhuo decoction could reduce the carotid IMT and artery plaques area. Its mechanism may be related to adjusting lipid metabolism
reducing inflammation and improving endothelial function in type 2 diabetes patients.
