Clinical effects of Astragali Radix on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus of Qi Deficiency Pattern
AIM To explore the clinical effects of Astragali Radix on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus of Qi Deficiency Pattern.METHODS Ninety patients were randomly assigned into control group (45 cases) for 12-week intervention of both conventional treatment and original treatment regimen,and observation group (45 cases) for 12-week intervention of conventional treatment,original treatment regimen and Astragali Radix granules.The changes in TCM syndrome effects and scores,vascular endothelial function indices and inflammatory cytokines (FMD,NO,ET-1,MHR,CRP),glucose metabolism indices (FBG,2 hPBG,HbA1C,FCP),lipid metabolism indices (TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C) and safety indices were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate of TCM syndromes than the control group ( P<0.05).After the treatment,the observation group displayed higher FMD and NO than the control group (P<0.05),along with lower MHR,2 hPBG,HbA1C,TC,TG and scores for shortness of breath,fatigue,weakness ( P<0.05).No obvious adverse reactions were observable in the two groups.CONCLUSION For the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus of Qi Deficiency Pattern,Astragali Radix can safely and effectively improve vascular endothelial dysfunction,which is worthy of clinical popularization.
