Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of modified Si Junzitang in treatment of Crohn's disease and investigate its regulation effect on inflammatory markers. Method:The 88 patients with Crohn's disease were randomly divided into experimental group and control group
44 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with routine western medicine treatment while patients in experimental group were treated with modified Si Junzitang combined with routine treatment. After 8 weeks
clinical remission rates and effective rates
efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome
disease activity score
inflammation degree index and inflammatory cytokines were compared between two groups and safety was evaluated. Result:After treatment
the number of clinical remission and remission rate in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.01). The total number of effective cases and and effective rate of the TCM syndrome in experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01). The number of clinical remission cases and remission rate in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The number of ineffectiveness and inefficiency in experimental group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). As compared with the conditions before treatment
the simplified Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) score
erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were significantly lower after treatment in both groups (P<0.01); after treatment
the three indexes above in experimental group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The levels of interleukin (IL)-6
tumor necrosis factors (TNF)-α and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 after treatment were lower than those before treatment in both groups (P<0.01); these three indexes (P<0.05) in experimental group were lower than those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). There were few and mild adverse reactions in both groups
with no significant difference between two groups. Conclusion:Modified Si Junzitang combined with western medicine can not only improve the disease symptoms
but also significantly improve the inflammation condition
with good safety and better results in clinical use.
