Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating simple obesity. Background Art

[0002] Simple Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat without obvious endocrine and metabolic disease etiologies. Obesity is often closely related to insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammatory state, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc., and is a risk factor for diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. For the management of simple obesity, lifestyle intervention, drug treatment, and surgical treatment are currently the main methods.

[0003] Lifestyle intervention is the first-line treatment plan. Weight loss is achieved through personalized diet plans such as energy-restricted balanced diets, regular exercise combining aerobic and resistance training, and behavior modification, thereby improving metabolic indicators and reducing the risk of complications. In terms of drug treatment, according to the mechanism of action, it can be divided into central appetite suppressants, gastrointestinal lipase inhibitors, and hypoglycemic drugs with weight loss effects, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, orlistat, etc. However, most current Western anti-obesity drugs have problems such as side effects and high prices. Surgical treatments such as sleeve gastrectomy are invasive treatment methods, which are costly and have risks such as bile reflux and nutritional deficiency. Currently, the guidelines recommend that this method be used only in cases where lifestyle and weight loss drug interventions are not satisfactory and the patient can tolerate the surgery itself. In addition, when treating obesity, the patient's age, comorbidities, and fertility needs need to be taken into account, and its systematic prevention and control is of great significance for improving the overall health outcome.

[0021] Explanation of the formula: In the formula, gypsum clears and purges stomach fire; trichosanthes peel clears heat and resolves phlegm, widens the chest and disperses binds, and its bitter and cold nature helps gypsum clear and drain stomach heat. Astragalus membranaceus invigorates the spleen and benefits qi; gynostemma pentaphyllum clears heat, strengthens the spleen and tonifies deficiency, and the two enhance the transportation and transformation function of the spleen, promoting the transformation and distribution of water and grain essence. Lotus leaf and wax gourd peel promote diuresis and reduce swelling, enhancing the power of promoting diuresis and percolating dampness; areca peel promotes qi movement in the middle energizer and promotes diuresis and reduces swelling, assisting in the excretion of water and dampness. Cinnamon twig warms and dredges the meridians, helps yang transform qi; salvia miltiorrhiza promotes blood circulation and removes stasis; the two are used together with warming and dredging and promoting blood circulation. Polygonatum odoratum nourishes yin and moistens dryness, preventing the damage of yin fluid by heat-clearing and purging fire and warming and dredging drugs. Dry ginger warms the middle-jiao and dispels cold, preventing the damage of the yang qi of the spleen and stomach by the cold drugs in the formula. Concha arcae suppresses acid and relieves pain, preventing excessive gastric acid secretion caused by gypsum and protecting the stomach qi. The whole formula together exerts the effects of strengthening the spleen qi, suppressing the stomach qi, resolving phlegm turbidity, promoting blood circulation, removing water and dampness, and lightening the body.

[0022] The present invention also provides a preparation method of the above traditional Chinese medicine composition, which includes the following steps:

[0023] Prepare each traditional Chinese medicine according to parts by weight, mix, and decoct with water to obtain the traditional Chinese medicine composition.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, each dose is decocted with water to 300 mL - 500 mL.

[0025] The present invention also provides the use of the above traditional Chinese medicine composition in the preparation of a drug for treating simple obesity.

[0026] Beneficial effects

[0027] The present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition, which can significantly reduce the body mass index of patients with simple obesity, decrease the leptin level, increase the adiponectin level, and have no obvious adverse reactions.

[0028] The traditional Chinese medicine composition provided by the present invention coordinates and combines various components to regulate qi, blood, yin, yang, cold, heat, deficiency and excess, and together exerts the effects of strengthening the spleen and suppressing the stomach, resolving dampness and promoting qi movement, and has a significant curative effect on the treatment of simple obesity.

[0062] Table 1 Clinical trial results

[0063]

[0064] 5.1 Experimental group VS control group

[0066] After treatment, the body mass index of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (experimental group: 26.85 ± 1.71 kg / m 2 and control group: 28.03 ± 1.96 kg / m 2 , P = 0.004); the leptin level of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (experimental group: 2.87 ± 0.61 ng / mL and control group: 3.79 ± 0.84 ng / mL, P < 0.001); the adiponectin level of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (experimental group: 6.53 ± 0.74 mg / L and control group: 5.49 ± 0.67 mg / L, P < 0.001).

[0067] 5.2 Conclusion

[0068] By comparing the experimental group with the control group, it can be seen that the traditional Chinese medicine composition Jianpi Yiwei Decoction of the present invention can significantly reduce the body mass index of patients, lower the leptin level, increase the adiponectin level, and have no obvious adverse reactions.
