Functional Constipation of 36 Cases with Heat Accumulation Pattern Treated by Huazhuo Jiedu Runchang Formula (化浊解毒润肠方): A Randomized Controlled Trial
To explore the clinical effect and possible mechanism of
Huazhuo Jiedu Runchang formula
(化浊解毒润肠方) in the treatment of functional constipation (FC) with heat accumulation pattern.
Methods
2
Seventy-two FC patients with heat accumulation pattern were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 36 cases in each group. The control group was treated with polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, by taking one package of agent A and agent B each dissolved in 125 ml of warm water, orally administered twice daily. The treatment group was given
Huazhuo Jiedu Runchang formula
orally, 200 ml each time, twice daily. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The complete spontaneous defecation weekly frequency, time to first defecation, the Knowles Eccersley Scott Symptom Score (KESS), total traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, and 72 h colonic excretion rate were assessed before and after treatment. Moreover, the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), motilin (MOT) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the serum were determined, and the number of intestinal flora (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Escherichia coli ) was analyzed before and after treatment.
Results
2
After treatment, the complete spontaneous defecation weekly frequency significantly increased in both groups (
P
<0.05), and it was higher in the treatment group than in the control group (
P
<0.05). The time to first defecation in the treatment group was 5.08±1.54 hours, significantly shorter than 9.08±1.38 hours in the control group (
P
<0.05). The KESS, total TCM symptom score, 72 h colon residual rate and serum VIP level significantly decreased in both groups after treatment (
P
<0.05), and were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (
P
<0.05). The levels of serum 5-HT and MOT, as well as the number of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus significantly increased after treatment in both groups (
P
<0.05), and were significantly higher in the treatment group than the control group (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
Huazhuo Jiedu Runchang Formula
can increase the complete spontaneous defecation weekly frequency, improve the symptoms of constipation and shorten the time to first defecation time in FC patients with heat accumulation pattern, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of serum 5-HT, MOT, VIP levels and intestinal flora.
