ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To observe the clinical efficacy of acupotomy combined with metformin hydrochloride tablet for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its effect on serum levels of inflammatory factors.METHODS:
A total of 68 patients with T2DM were randomized into an acupotomy group (34 cases, 2 cases dropped out) and a western medication group (34 cases, 2 cases dropped out). Metformin hydrochloride tablet was given orally in the western medication group, 0.5-1 g each time, twice a day, for continuous 8 weeks. On the basis of the treatment in the western medication group, acupotomy was applied at bilateral Geshu (BL 17), Weiwanxiashu (EX-B 3), Ganshu (BL 18) in the acupotomy group, once a week for continuous 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, in the two groups, blood glucose (fasting blood glucose [FBG], 2-hour plasma glucose [2 h PG] and glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c]), TCM syndrome score, blood lipids (total cholesterol [TC], triglyceride [TG], low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] and high density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]), insulin (fasting insulin [FINS] and 2-hour insulin [2 h INS]), C-peptide indexes (fasting C-peptide [FC-P] and 2-hour C-peptide [2 h C-P]), dosage of metformin hydrochloride tablet and diabetes specific quality of life (DSQL) score were observed, the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-17 were measured by ELISA.RESULTS:
After treatment, the FBG, 2 h PG, HbA1c, TCM syndrome scores, TC, TG, LDL-C, FINS, 2 h INS, FC-P, 2 h C-P, DSQL scores as well as the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17 were decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.01), HDL-C was increased compared with that before treatment (P<0.01) in the two groups; the dosage of metformin hydrochloride tablet was decreased compared with that before treatment in the acupotomy group (P<0.01). After treatment, in the acupotomy group, the FBG, HbA1c, TCM syndrome score, TC, TG, LDL-C, FINS, 2 h INS, FC-P, 2 h C-P, dosage of metformin hydrochloride tablet, DSQL score as well as the serum level of TNF-α were lower than those in the western medication group (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Acupotomy combined with metformin hydrochloride tablet can improve the blood glucose, clinical symptoms and quality of life in patients with T2DM, its mechanism may be related to the regulation of inflammatory reaction.Palavras-chave
