Effect of Modified Simotang on Adult Functional Constipation and Intestinal Neurotransmitter
To observe the efficacy of modified Simotang in treatment of adult functional constipation (Qi-stagnancy constipation)
and investigate its effects on serum levels of intestinal neurotransmitter nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)
nitric oxide (NO)
and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)
as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD)
malonaldehyde (MDA)
and glutathione (GSH) levels.
Method:
2
One hundred and ten patients with functional constipation were selected and randomly divided into control group (55 cases) and treatment group (55 cases) by referring to random number table. The patients in control group were given with routine therapy
Domperidone tablet (1 tablet/time
tid
)
and Phenolphthalein tablets (100 mg/time
bid
). The patients in treatment group were treated with modified Simotang
1 dose/day. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Then the scores of main clinical symptoms of functional constipation
scores of Qi-stagnancy constipation and clinical efficacy were compared between two groups. Constipation recurrence rate was compared between two groups after stopping medicine. Serum levels of intestinal neurotransmitters nNOS
NO and VIP as well as SOD
MDA
GSH levels were detected in both groups.
Result:
2
After treatment
scores for main clinical symptoms (difficult defecation
abdominal distension
defecation time
number of defecation times) and Bristol scores in treatment group were obviously lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01). Scores for symptoms of Qi-stagnancy constipation (ungratifying defecation
abdominal distension
bowel ringing
frequent flatus
chest and flank tightness) in treatment group were obviously lower than those in control group after treatment (
P
<
0.01). Total clinical efficacy in treatment group 98.04% was superior to that in control group 84.62% (
P
<
0.05). Constipation recurrence rate was 3.92% and 8.16% in treatment group after 4 and 8 weeks of medication stopping
obviously lower than those in control group 18.18% and 27.78% (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
serum levels of intestinal neurotransmitters nNOS
NO
VIP in treatment group were remarkably lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01). After treatment
serum levels of SOD and GSH in treatment group were higher while MDA level was lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Based on routine therapy
modified Simotang in treatment of adult functional constipation (Qi-stagnancy constipation) can improve clinical symptoms and syndrome symptoms
increase the clinical efficacy
decrease recurrence rate
and regulate levels of intestinal neurotransmitters nNOS
