Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceuticals, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine formula for the prevention and treatment of feline stomatitis, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more people are treating pets as family members. Pets are gaining a higher status within the family, leading to increased spending by pet owners. Stomatitis is a common disease in cats, and its treatment is difficult, posing a significant challenge for both pet owners and veterinarians.

[0003] Feline stomatitis, also known as feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS), is a common but complex disease affecting the oral mucosa in cats. It typically manifests as severe inflammation of the oral cavity, including the gums, oral mucosa, and pharynx. This inflammation causes significant discomfort and pain in cats, severely impacting their quality of life.

[0004] Typical symptoms include swelling, pain, ulcers, drooling, and bad breath in the mouth. Cats may exhibit difficulty eating, decreased appetite, and weight loss. Due to pain, affected cats may avoid eating and even exhibit behavioral changes, such as becoming more withdrawn or aggressive. The exact cause of feline stomatitis is not fully understood, but it is generally believed to be related to an abnormal response of the immune system. Some studies suggest that pathogens such as feline herpesvirus and feline stomatitis rheumatoid virus may be triggering factors. In addition, genetic factors, environmental stress, nutritional status, and oral hygiene may also be associated with the development of feline stomatitis. An imbalance in the oral microbiota may lead to an overreaction of the immune system, triggering inflammation.

[0005] Treatment for feline stomatitis typically involves medication and surgical intervention. Medication may include anti-inflammatory drugs (such as corticosteroids), immunomodulators, and antibiotics (to control secondary infections). In severe cases, surgery may be necessary, requiring partial or complete tooth extraction. This method can reduce the immune system's response to the tooth surfaces in the mouth, but it also causes harm and pain to the cat. Furthermore, tooth extraction only significantly improves the condition in about 50% of cats. While steroids and antibiotics can provide ideal short-term treatment for feline stomatitis, long-term use carries potential risks. Although steroids effectively reduce inflammatory symptoms, they can lead to immunosuppression, increasing the risk of infection. Long-term use may also cause endocrine problems such as Cushing's syndrome, as well as gastrointestinal ulcers and liver burden. Additionally, while antibiotics can control secondary infections, improper use can lead to bacterial resistance and disrupt the normal gut microbiota, causing indigestion or allergic reactions. Moreover, these treatments often focus on symptom control rather than addressing the underlying cause of stomatitis, potentially leading to recurring symptoms and a poor prognosis. Therefore, a new alternative treatment is needed for feline stomatitis. The advantages of using traditional Chinese medicine to treat feline stomatitis are mainly reflected in its gentleness and comprehensive conditioning characteristics.

[0006] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) generally carries a lower risk of side effects, especially with long-term use, which is particularly important in avoiding the potential side effects of steroids and antibiotics. The components of TCM are mostly derived from nature, making them generally gentler on the animal's physiological system. Furthermore, TCM treatment emphasizes holistic regulation and restoring the body's balance, focusing not only on symptom treatment but also on improving overall health and enhancing immunity. Therefore, this invention provides a TCM formula for the prevention and treatment of feline stomatitis, its preparation method, and its application. Summary of the Invention

The formulas are then extracted, dried, and made into capsules, and their effects are measured.

[0064] Example 1: Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formula Capsules

[0065] Prescription: 10 parts licorice root, 7 parts honeysuckle, 7 parts ophiopogon japonicus, 6 parts peony bark, 6 parts scutellaria baicalensis, 6 parts coptis chinensis, 6 parts codonopsis pilosula, and 6 parts jujube.

[0066] The Chinese herbs are mixed according to the prescription ratio, pulverized using a grinder, and passed through a 10-mesh sieve. 100g of powder is accurately weighed, and 10 times its weight of deionized water is added. After soaking for 30 minutes, the mixture is brought to a rapid boil over high heat, then simmered for another 30 minutes. The decoction is filtered out. Another 10 times its weight of deionized water is added to the filtered residue, and the decoction is repeated. The two decoction filtrates are combined, allowed to settle for 60 minutes, and filtered twice to remove impurities. All filtrates are then concentrated in a 50℃ rotary evaporator until 1ml of the concentrate equals 3g of the original herbs. The concentrated liquid is then dried to obtain the spray-dried powder of the Chinese herbal formula. 20% starch is added to the spray-dried powder, and the mixture is then filled into capsules using an automatic capsule filling machine.

[0067] The traditional Chinese medicine capsules for the prevention and treatment of feline stomatitis prepared by this invention contain 150mg of raw herbs per capsule.

[0068] Example 2: Treatment of feline stomatitis with a traditional Chinese medicine formula

[0069] The experimental animals were cats with naturally occurring stomatitis from September to October 2023 in Jiangning District, Nanjing City. Suitable cases for treatment were selected from all affected cats according to established criteria. Data from 15 confirmed cases of cat stomatitis were collected. These 15 selected cats with naturally occurring stomatitis were orally administered two capsules of a prepared traditional Chinese medicine formulation once daily for a total of 7 days.

[0070] 1. Observation and scoring of cat's oral health

[0071] Observe the cat's oral condition before and after treatment, take photos and record the data, and score the cat's oral condition according to the feline chronic gingivostomatitis (CGS) scale.

[0072] Table 2. Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (CGS) Scale

[0073]

[0074] 2. Observation of cat's food intake and weight

[0075] Observe the cat's appetite and pain response during eating, and record the daily food intake and weight changes.

[0076] 3. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions on the oral health scores of cats

[0077] The effects of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula on the oral health scores of cats are shown in Table 3. After treatment with the TCM formula, the oral health scores of the cats decreased to varying degrees, and the oral symptoms were alleviated and recovered to varying degrees. Specifically, the pain score, oral inflammation score, and appetite score decreased significantly (P<0.01), as did the halitosis score and submandibular lymph node score (P<0.05), and the overall oral health score decreased significantly (P<0.01). These results indicate that the TCM formula can significantly alleviate the pain, oral inflammation, and halitosis symptoms in cats with stomatitis, reduce the degree of submandibular lymph node swelling, and improve the appetite of the cats, thus having a certain therapeutic effect on feline stomatitis.

[0078] Table 3. Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas on Oral Health Scores in Cats (n=15)

[0079]

[0080] Note: *P<0.05, **P<0.01 (comparison between before and after treatment)

[0081] 4. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine formulas on the oral health of cats

[0082] Figure 1 This is a comparison of the cat's oral condition before and after treatment. It is clear that the traditional Chinese medicine formula significantly alleviated the cat's oral inflammation; the redness and swelling in the affected area lessened, the ulcers shrank, and the pain response to touch decreased. While the treatment did not significantly alleviate the oral inflammation in the other cats, it did significantly relieve their pain.

[0083] 5. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions on cat weight

[0084] The effect of the traditional Chinese medicine formula on the weight of the cats is shown in Table 4. After treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine formula, the weight of the cats increased significantly (P<0.01). This result may be due to the traditional Chinese medicine formula reducing pain, increasing appetite, and increasing food intake in cats with stomatitis. This result indicates that the traditional Chinese medicine formula can significantly increase the weight of the cats and improve their physical condition.

[0085] Table 4. Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas on Cat Weight (n=15)

[0086]

[0087] Note: *P<0.05, **P<0.01 (comparison between before treatment and 7 days after treatment).

[0088] 6. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions on cats' food intake

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown in Table 5, the cats' food intake significantly increased after treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine formula (P<0.01). Before treatment, the cats had no appetite and were unwilling to eat. After treatment, their appetite increased significantly, and they were able to eat both dry and wet foods. Before treatment, each cat suffered from loss of appetite or even complete aversion to food due to pain from oral inflammation. They exhibited behaviors such as screaming, pain, and frequent head shaking while eating, indicating severe oral pain. After 7 days of treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine formula, the cats' appetite increased significantly, the pain during eating decreased, the pain level decreased, the food intake increased, and their overall mental state improved compared to before treatment.

[0090] Table 5. Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas on Food Intake in Cats (n=15)

[0091]

[0092] Note: *P<0.05, **P<0.01 (comparison between before treatment and 7 days after treatment)

[0093] The results of this case study indicate that the traditional Chinese medicine capsule formulation is effective for feline stomatitis, significantly reducing the oral condition score of feline stomatitis, increasing the cat's food intake and weight, effectively alleviating oral pain in cats with stomatitis, and also having a certain effect on relieving oral inflammation in cats.
