Clinical observation of Jiangzhi Granule combined with lifestyle intervention in treating NAFLD patients with damp⁃heat accumulation syndrome
Objective,2,To investigate the clinical efficacy of Jiangzhi Granule combined with lifestyle intervention in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients with damp-heat accumulation syndrome and the effect on bile acid metabolism.,Methods,2,Ninety NAFLD patients with damp-heat accumulation syndrome were randomized into a treatment group (,n,=45) and a control group (,n,=45). The lifestyle intervention was implemented to the control group, while the treatment group received Jiangzhi Granule plus lifestyle intervention. The clinical efficacy was evaluated after 16 weeks of continuous treatment through the liver ultrasound imaging, as well as comparative analysis of body weight, body mass index (BMI), TCM syndrome scores, blood lipids profiles (TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C), and bile acids metabolome in serum and urine (TBA, CA, GCA, HCA, UDCA, GUDCA, GCDCA, CDCA, α-MCA, GHCA, TCA, DCA, LCA, GDCA, GLCA and T-β-MCA) before and after intervention. The treatment safety was assessed simultaneously.,Results,2,①There were 84 cases that finally completed the trial, including 43 cases in the treatment group and 41 cases in the control group. ②According to the liver ultrasound imaging, the total effective rate of the treatment group (62.8%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (36.6%) after intervention (,P,<,0.05). ③After intervention, the TCM syndrome scores, body weight, BMI and serum TC and TG levels decreased in the treatment group (,P,<,0.05), and the TCM syndrome scores and serum TG levels also decreased in the control group (,P,<,0.05); The TCM syndrome scores and BMI in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (,P,<,0.05). ④In the treatment group, the levels of serum total bile acids (TBA), primary bile acids (CA, GCA, HCA, UDCA, GUDCA, GCDCA, CDCA) and secondary bile acids (DCA, GDCA) decreased significantly after intervention (,P,<,0.05), and the levels of urinary TBA, primary bile acids (CA, α-MCA, T-β-MCA, CDCA, UDCA) and secondary bile acids (DCA, GDCA) increased significantly after intervention (,P,<,0.05); In the control group, the levels of serum TBA, primary bile acids (CA, GCA, UDCA, GCDCA, CDCA) and secondary bile acids (DCA, GDCA) decreased significantly after intervention (,P,<,0.05), and the levels of urinary primary bile acids (CA, α-MCA, T-β-MCA, CDCA) and secondary bile acids (DCA, GDCA) increased significantly after intervention (,P,<,0.05). After intervention, the levels of serum TBA, primary bile acids (CA, HCA, UDCA, GUDCA, GCDCA) and secondary bile acids (DCA, GDCA) in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (,P,<,0.05), and the levels of urinary TBA, primary bile acids (CA, T-β-MCA, CDCA, UDCA) and secondary bile acids (DCA, GDCA) in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group (,P,<,0.05). ⑤There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (,P,>,0.05).,Conclusions,2,The combination of Jiangzhi Granule and lifestyle intervention was effective in treating NAFLD patients with damp-heat accumulation syndrome, which could significantly improve the clinical symptoms and regulate blood lipid levels of patients. The mechanism may be related to lowering the serum levels of bile acids, promoting the urinary excretion of bile acids, and maintaining the homeostasis of bile acid metabolism.
