Effect of Tanganjianwan combined with abdominal massage on glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammatory factors in patients of metformin treatment with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Objective To explore the effects of Tanganjianwan(TGJW)combined with abdominal massage(AM)on glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammatory factors in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus(OT2DM)patients with metformin treatment.Methods Patients with OT2DM diagnosed in Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to June 2023 were included as study subjects,and were divided into the AM group(metformin combined with AM)and the TGJW group(metformin combined with AM+TGJW)according to the random number table method.The treatment efficacy and safety were assessed by continuous intervention for 3 months.Obesity-related indices[waist-hip ratio(WHR)and body mass index(BMI)],glycemic and lipid metabolic indices[glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),fasting blood glucose(FBG),postprandial 2-hour glucose(P2hG),total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)],insulin sensitivity indexes[homeostasis model insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)and homeostasis model pancreaticβ-cell function index(HOMA-β)],and inflammation indexes[interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),and C-reactive protein(CRP)]changes were compared before and after treatment between the TGJW group and the AM group.Results A total of 100 OT2DM patients were included in the study,with 50 cases each in the TGJW group and AM group.After the intervention,the treatment efficiency of the TGJW group was significantly higher than that of the AM group(P<0.05),and no malignant adverse events occurred during treatment.Compared with the pre-treatment period,the levels of WHR,BMI,FBG,P2hG,HbA1c,TC,TG,LDL-C,HOMA-IR,IL-6,TNF-α,and CRP decreased in both groups(P<0.05),while the levels of HDL-C and HOMA-β increased significantly(P<0.05).After the intervention,the levels of WHR,BMI,FBG,P2hG,HbA1c,TC,TG,LDL-C,HOMA-IR,IL-6,TNF-α,and CRP in the TGJW group were lower than those in the AM group(P-<0.05),while the levels of HDL-C and HOMA-β were higher than those in the AM group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with AM treatment alone,TGJW combined with AM can improve glucose-lipid metabolism,insulin sensitivity and inflammation indexes in OT2DM patients,enhance the therapeutic effect of metformin treatment in OT2DM patients,and is safe,it has certain clinical promotion significance.
