Objective: To investigate the therapeutic targets of Da Chaihutang in the patients with unstable angina pectoris (UA) of coronary heart disease and predict the pathway in the treatment of angina pectoris. Method: This prospectivestudy had a total of 110 patients admitted in Cardiovascular Department 1 in the Affiliated Hospitalof Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between September 2016 to September 2017.The patients were arranged in order according to their order of admission
and were divided into treatment group and control group by random number table method
55 cases in each group. Basic western medicine was given in control group
and the basic medicine + Da Chaihutang was given in treatment group. Then the expression levels of Ghrelin and Obestatin and the composition of intestinal flora were analyzed in this study. Result: After basic treatment combined with Da Chaihutang
the total effective rate in patients with coronary heart disease unstable angina was increased significantly (P< 0.05).Results suggested that Da Chaihutang can significantly improve the clinical symptoms in patients with UA
and the further determination of Obestatin and Ghrelin expression levels showed that Da Chaihutang treatment promoted the up-regulation of Ghrelin and down-regulation of Obestatin in UA patients. The results of intestinal flora suggested that Da Chaihutang could change the compositions of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes in UA patients. Conclusion: Da Chaihutang can significantly affect the expression of serum Ghrelin and Obestatin in UA patients
regulate the intestinal flora of UA patients
and increase the species and abundance of beneficial bacteria.
