Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating diabetic erectile dysfunction and its application. Background Art
[0002] Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common disorders that plague men. Generally, it refers to a disorder in which the penis cannot erect normally, or the erection is not firm enough, or the erection lasts for a short time, resulting in the inability to complete normal sexual intercourse. In 1993, the NIH conference in the United States unified the description as the penis being unable to achieve and maintain a sufficient erection for at least 6 months to obtain a satisfactory sexual life. Although ED is a benign disease, it affects the physical and mental health of patients and is closely related to the quality of life of patients, the relationship with sexual partners, and family stability. A recent epidemiological survey found that approximately 5% - 20% of men suffer from moderate to severe ED. The differences in various epidemiological surveys are related to different methods and the different ages and socioeconomic statuses of the study populations. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disease characterized by abnormally elevated blood glucose levels. Its pathogenesis is usually caused by the combined action of genetic and / or environmental factors, resulting in an imbalance in insulin secretion. The long-term hyperglycemic state can damage multiple systems of the body, including the nervous system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and urinary system. In the past fifty years, with the change of people's lifestyle and the continuous increase in the proportion of obese people, the prevalence of diabetes has shown a rapid upward trend. Among the large number of diabetic patients, about three-quarters of the patients will be troubled by diabetes mellitus with erectile dysfunction (DMED) to varying degrees, which indicates that the complication problems caused by diabetes cannot be ignored and are closely related to the quality of life of patients. Compared with the general population of the same age, sexual dysfunction occurs earlier and the incidence is significantly higher in the diabetic population. There have been many studies on erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients. Multiple studies have shown that the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in diabetic patients is significantly higher than that in the general population.
[0003] Modern medical research shows that the pathogenesis of diabetes combined with erectile dysfunction involves multiple aspects such as blood vessels, endothelial cells, neurotransmitters, endocrine and cavernous smooth muscle. These factors interact with each other and jointly lead to the occurrence of erectile dysfunction. Diabetic patients are often accompanied by cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, microvascular diseases, etc. The long-term high level of blood sugar in their blood will cause thickening of blood vessel walls and reduced elasticity, thereby affecting the blood circulation of the penis. These vascular diseases are the main causes of DMED. In addition, diabetes may also cause endothelial dysfunction, affect the production and action of nitric oxide (NO), and thus affect the relaxation of the penis cavernous smooth muscle. In addition, diabetes can also cause neuropathy, which will reduce the sensitivity of sexual nerves and affect the penile erection mechanism.
[0004] Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) are commonly used drugs in Western medicine treatment of diabetes mellitus with erectile dysfunction (DMED). It inhibits PDE5 activity, increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels, promotes vasodilation of the corpus cavernosum and relaxation of smooth muscles, and optimizes the blood supply to the penis, thereby alleviating erectile dysfunction. PDE5i has a direct effect in the treatment of DMED and has significant efficacy. However, PDE5i also has side effects, such as headaches and stomach discomfort, which affect patients' medication experience. Long-term use may also lead to drug resistance, and some patients need to increase the dose to maintain the effect. This not only increases the risk of adverse reactions, but also increases the economic and psychological burden on patients.
[0005] In the classic literature of ancient Chinese medicine, diabetes is classified as "Xiao Ke", and erectile dysfunction is called "impotence", "Yin Fei", "Jin Fei", "Jin Zong Relaxation" or "Useless Device". Xiao Ke disease is closely related to kidney deficiency. If the treatment is unbalanced, or excessive worry and depression may lead to damage of Qi and Yin. Long-term Xiao Ke causes the leakage of fine substances with urine, which cannot nourish the spleen and kidney Zong Jin, and then affects the kidney function as the key pathogenesis. The impotence caused by long-term Xiao Ke is either hard but not long, or hard but not hard, which makes it impossible to satisfy sexual life. The name of diabetes first appeared in "Suwen. Qibinglun": "This is caused by fat and delicious food. This person must eat sweet and delicious food frequently and a lot of fat. Fat makes people feel hot inside, and sweet food makes people feel full, so the qi overflows and turns into diabetes." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diabetes over time will lead to yin deficiency affecting kidney yang, which will lead to imbalance of kidney yin and yang. Kidney yang deficiency is unable to warm yang and transform qi, and qi transformation cannot be achieved. Body fluid cannot be distributed throughout the body, and the limbs and seven orifices are not nourished, resulting in diabetes. Ancient doctors believed that impotence is mainly related to the kidney, and the disease is mainly deficiency and cold. "Suwen. Wei Lun" mentioned that "the relaxation of the main tendons leads to tendon atrophy", which refers to impotence caused by abnormal tendon strength, which can actually correspond to erectile dysfunction. At the same time, "Zhubingyuanhou Lun. Deficiency Yin Wei Hou" pointed out that "fatigue hurts the kidney", which suggests that kidney deficiency, especially kidney yang deficiency, may be the main pathological basis of erectile dysfunction.
[0006] From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the onset of diabetes is closely related to multiple causes, such as stomach heat, lung dryness, damp heat, kidney deficiency, liver depression, etc., and these factors will also aggravate the pathology of erectile dysfunction. In particular, in "Danxi's Heart Method·Xiao Ke", it is mentioned that "the internal organs generate heat, and the dryness and heat are blazing", which also shows that the pathological mechanism of Yin deficiency and internal heat is an important feature of DMED. Long-term Yin deficiency and internal heat can cause blood stasis, which in turn aggravates the manifestation of ED. Modern Chinese medicine research has further proved that the pathogenesis of DMED has two pathological characteristics of "Xiao Ke" and "impotence", and the basic pathological mechanism is the joint action of kidney deficiency and blood stasis. In recent years, studies on diabetes and its vascular complications have shown that the main mechanism of vascular lesions in the late stage of diabetes is "vascular stasis" caused by deficiency of both Qi and Yin. Increased blood viscosity, a significant increase in plasma fibrinogen, and accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate all indicate that blood flow is blocked, leading to microcirculation disorders and the formation of blood stasis, further causing ischemia and hypoxia of the corpus cavernosum of the penis, resulting in erectile difficulties. Therefore, blood stasis is not only a pathological product of poor blood flow, but it is also closely related to yin deficiency and internal heat, which runs through the entire course of diabetes. According to traditional Chinese medicine, blood stasis is the key pathological mechanism of chronic vascular complications of diabetes. The blood abnormalities and venous changes caused by DM eventually lead to erectile dysfunction. How to find a method with few side effects and effective improvement of DMED is currently a hot topic in the andrology community. Since traditional Chinese medicine itself has a multi-target, multi-pathway onset mode and relatively no obvious side effects, and has long-lasting effects, the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine is receiving more and more attention. In view of the complexity of the etiology of DMED, the model of using traditional Chinese medicine combined with or replacing PDE5 inhibitors to treat ED has been recognized by more and more urologists.

Other embodiments obtained from the description of this invention are obvious to those skilled in the art. The description and examples of this invention are merely exemplary.
[0032] Regarding the use of "comprising", "including", "having", "containing", etc. in this article, they are all open-ended terms, meaning including but not limited to.
[0033] The traditional Chinese medicine composition of this invention was condensed by Professor Yu Chao around diabetic erectile dysfunction in the field of andrology. After clinical and experimental research and summarizing treatment experience, it is considered that the main pathogenesis is deficiency of both liver and kidney, qi deficiency and blood stasis, and it is combined with the characteristic of treating from the heart. This traditional Chinese medicine composition is also known as "Sancai Junxiang Prescription", which is a personal agreement prescription created by Professor Yu Chao under the treatment principle of "tonifying the fire of the heart yang (sovereign fire) upward and the fire of the kidney yang (ministerial fire) downward". The name "Junxiang" is the embodiment of the theory of "the heart is the sovereign fire and the kidney is the ministerial fire; the sovereign fire is clear and the ministerial fire is in its place", and it is also the embodiment of the characteristic of treating impotence, a "kidney" disease, from the "heart" in the Shanghai school of andrology.
[0034] The traditional Chinese medicine composition of this invention is formulated by combining ginseng, rhodiola, rehmannia (prepared rehmannia root and / or raw rehmannia root), astragalus membranaceus, peach kernel, safflower, angelica sinensis, white peony root, root of ilex pubescens, morinda officinalis, wolfberry fruit, epimedium, millettia reticulata, luffa cylindrica, kudzu root, bombyx batryticatus, bupleurum chinense, centipede and notoginseng powder. Its formulation characteristics are as follows: In the formula, ginseng has the effect of greatly tonifying primordial qi, can tonify the heart qi and benefit the mind; rhodiola has the effect of supplementing qi and promoting blood circulation, and can dredge the heart vessels; rehmannia nourishes the kidney and generates essence, and is used to nourish the kidney yin. These three herbs together are the sovereign herbs according to the meaning of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. Astragalus membranaceus, together with angelica sinensis, peach kernel, safflower and notoginseng, supplements qi and promotes blood circulation; millettia reticulata, root of ilex pubescens, kudzu root and luffa cylindrica remove stasis and dredge the collaterals as the ministerial herbs, and epimedium, morinda officinalis, wolfberry fruit and white peony root are used together to regulate and tonify the liver and kidney as the assistant herbs, and bupleurum chinense, bombyx batryticatus and centipede soothe the liver and regulate qi, dredge the heart (vessels) collaterals, disperse stasis nodules, assist the medicinal power to flow smoothly and reach the disease site directly as the envoy herbs. Together, they build the functions of supplementing qi and strengthening the heart, promoting blood circulation and dredging the vessels, and regulating and tonifying the liver and kidney.
[0035] Furthermore, the effects of each raw material drug in the traditional Chinese medicine composition of this invention are as follows:
[0036] Ginseng is slightly warm in nature, sweet and slightly bitter in taste. It acts on the spleen, lung, heart, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of greatly tonifying primordial qi, restoring pulse and securing collapse, invigorating the spleen and benefiting the lung, promoting fluid production and nourishing blood, calming the mind and enhancing intelligence; Ginseng contains various ginsenosides, which have antioxidant effects, improve insulin sensitivity, and regulate blood sugar metabolism. Ginsenosides can significantly increase the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby reducing oxidative stress. These components can reduce oxidative stress damage by regulating multiple signaling pathways, thus improving the symptoms of diabetic patients; They can also inhibit inflammatory signaling pathways and reduce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby effectively improving the inflammation caused by diabetes. Some studies have found that ginsenoside Rh1 regulates inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways through the AMPK / PI3K / Akt pathway, improves insulin sensitivity, and thus reduces blood sugar levels. Compound K (CK) in ginseng significantly reduces the blood sugar levels of type 2 diabetic mice induced by high-fat diet / streptozotocin (HFD / STZ) by downregulating the expression of PEPCK and G6Pase.
[0037] Rhodiola is cold in nature, sweet and bitter in taste. It acts on the lung and spleen meridians. It has the effects of replenishing qi and activating blood circulation, dredging meridians and relieving asthma; Rhodiola contains components such as salidroside, which have antioxidant, anti-fatigue, and improve microcirculation effects. These effects help to improve the general symptoms and erectile dysfunction of diabetic patients. Salidroside can enhance the antioxidant capacity of cells by regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway.
[0038] Rehmannia is divided into raw rehmannia and prepared rehmannia. Raw rehmannia is cold in nature and sweet in taste. It acts on the heart, liver, and kidney meridians and has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. Prepared rehmannia is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It acts on the liver and kidney meridians and has the effects of nourishing yin and replenishing blood, filling essence and marrow. Raw rehmannia and prepared rehmannia contain various chemical components, such as rehmannia polysaccharides and rehmanniosides, which have hypoglycemic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. These components help to improve blood sugar control and reduce inflammatory responses in diabetic patients. Rehmannia polysaccharides in raw rehmannia can improve insulin resistance by regulating the AMPK signaling pathway. Research shows that the active ingredient catalpol in raw rehmannia has the potential to reduce blood sugar. There are also studies showing that rehmannia polysaccharides can reduce oxidative stress in a diabetic rat model with insulin resistance by regulating the Nrf2 antioxidant system. This antioxidant effect may help protect vascular endothelial cells, improve vascular function, and thus play a certain role in improving erectile dysfunction.
[0039] Astragalus membranaceus is slightly warm in nature and sweet in taste. It acts on the lung and spleen meridians. It has the effects of invigorating qi and lifting yang, strengthening the exterior and consolidating the superficial resistance, promoting diuresis and reducing edema, and expelling toxins and promoting granulation. Astragalus membranaceus contains astragalus polysaccharides and astragalus saponins, which have the functions of immunomodulation, anti-inflammation and improving microcirculation. Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) is one of the main active components in Astragalus membranaceus and has been proven to have a significant hypoglycemic effect. Research shows that astragalus polysaccharides can improve insulin sensitivity by activating the AMPK signaling pathway, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. The polysaccharide and saponin components in Astragalus membranaceus have significant antioxidant activity, can scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage. This helps to protect pancreatic islet β cells and maintain their normal function, thus having a positive impact on blood glucose control. On the other hand, active components such as astragalus polysaccharides and astragalosides in Astragalus membranaceus have been proven to improve vascular endothelial function. These components regulate the metabolism of vascular endothelial cells, increase the production of nitric oxide (NO), thereby improving vascular dilation function and having a potential therapeutic effect on erectile dysfunction.
[0040] Caulis Spatholobi is warm in nature and bitter and sweet in taste. It acts on the liver meridian. It has the functions of enriching blood and promoting blood circulation, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, and improving microcirculation. These functions help to improve the blood stasis symptoms of diabetic patients and the blood supply of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. The active components in Caulis Spatholobi can improve microcirculation by regulating hemorheology. The polysaccharide component in Caulis Spatholobi has been proven to have a significant hypoglycemic effect. Research shows that Caulis Spatholobi polysaccharides can improve insulin sensitivity by activating the AMPK signaling pathway, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. In addition, the extract of Caulis Spatholobi can significantly inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase, thereby delaying the digestion of carbohydrates and the absorption of glucose, and reducing postprandial blood glucose levels. The polyphenol components in Caulis Spatholobi have significant antioxidant activity, can scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage. Oxidative stress is one of the important pathological mechanisms of erectile dysfunction. The antioxidant effect of Caulis Spatholobi helps to protect vascular endothelial cells and improve vascular function, thus having a positive impact on erectile dysfunction. Active components such as flavonoids in Caulis Spatholobi have been proven to improve vascular endothelial function. These components regulate the metabolism of vascular endothelial cells, increase the production of nitric oxide (NO), thereby improving vascular dilation function and having a potential therapeutic effect on erectile dysfunction.
[0041] Luffa cylindrica (L.) Roem. is cold in nature and sweet in taste. It belongs to the lung, liver, and stomach meridians, and has the effects of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, cooling blood and dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation to relieve pain, as well as reducing blood lipid, diuresis, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Disorders of water metabolism are important factors leading to the deterioration of diabetic nephropathy, and aquaporins play an important role in water metabolism disorders. Diabetic patients may develop edema due to protein loss, resulting in hypoproteinemia, making diuretics insensitive and ineffective. Studies have shown that Luffa cylindrica (L.) Roem. is involved in regulating the expression of aquaporin 2, and combined with aerobic exercise can significantly improve the urine volume of diabetic rats; the combined exercise intervention of Luffa cylindrica (L.) Roem. may affect the water permeability of the collecting duct by reducing the expression of AQP-2, thereby reducing electrolyte disorders caused by diuretics, etc., which has great reference value for clinical drug selection.
[0042] Paeonia lactiflora Pall. is slightly cold in nature and bitter and sour in taste. It belongs to the liver and spleen meridians. It has the effects of nourishing blood and softening the liver, relieving spasm and pain, and suppressing hyperactive liver yang. Paeonia lactiflora Pall. contains components such as paeoniflorin, which has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory effects. These components help relieve the pain symptoms and improve the general symptoms of diabetic patients. Paeoniflorin can play its anti-inflammatory role by regulating the inflammatory signaling pathway, and has been proven to improve vascular endothelial function. These components regulate the metabolism of vascular endothelial cells, increase the production of nitric oxide (NO), thereby improving vascular relaxation function, and have potential therapeutic effects on erectile dysfunction. The polyphenolic components in Paeonia lactiflora Pall. can also promote angiogenesis and improve local blood circulation, which is of great significance for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
[0043] Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels is warm in nature and sweet and pungent in taste. It belongs to the liver, heart, and spleen meridians. It has the effects of enriching blood and promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, and moistening the intestines and relaxing bowel movements. The polysaccharide component (Angelica sinensis polysaccharides, ASP) in Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels has been proven to have a significant hypoglycemic effect. Studies have shown that ASP can reduce blood glucose levels through various pathways. Active ingredients such as ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels have been proven to improve vascular endothelial function. These components regulate the metabolism of vascular endothelial cells, increase the production of nitric oxide (NO), thereby improving vascular relaxation function, and have potential therapeutic effects on erectile dysfunction.
[0044] Peach kernels are of neutral nature, bitter and sweet in taste. They pertain to the heart, liver and large intestine meridians. They have the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and loosening the bowels to relieve constipation. Peach kernels contain components such as amygdalin, which have the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and anti-inflammation. These components help to improve the blood stasis symptoms of diabetic patients and the blood supply of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Amygdalin can play its role in promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis by regulating hemorheology. In addition, it has also been found that the extract of peach kernels not only reduces the blood glucose level, but also improves the dyslipidemia of diabetic rats, and reduces the levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG). Moreover, the active components in peach kernels such as quercetin and luteolin have been proven to be able to improve vascular endothelial function. These components improve the vasodilation function by regulating the metabolism of vascular endothelial cells and increasing the production of nitric oxide (NO), and have potential therapeutic effects on erectile dysfunction.
[0045] Safflower is of warm nature and pungent in taste. It pertains to the heart and liver meridians. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation to dredge the meridian and dissipating stasis to relieve pain; Holly root is of cool nature and bitter in taste. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and promoting blood circulation to relieve pain. Safflower contains components such as carthamin, which have the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and anti-inflammation. These components help to improve the blood stasis symptoms of diabetic patients and the blood supply of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Carthamin in safflower can play its role in promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis by regulating hemorheology. It has been proven that safflower extract can reduce the contents of malondialdehyde (TBARS) and protein carbonyl (CP) in plasma and liver tissues, indicating that safflower extract has antioxidant effects and can reduce the oxidative stress caused by diabetes. The flavonoids in safflower have been proven to be able to improve vascular endothelial function. These components improve the vasodilation function by regulating the metabolism of vascular endothelial cells and increasing the production of nitric oxide (NO), and have potential therapeutic effects on erectile dysfunction.
[0046] Ilex pubescens Hook. et Arn. is bitter, astringent and of cool nature. It pertains to the heart and lung meridians. It promotes blood circulation and dredges vessels, clears heat and detoxifies. Holly root has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying and promoting blood circulation to relieve pain. These effects help to improve the inflammatory symptoms of diabetic patients and the blood supply of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. The active components in holly root can play its anti-inflammatory role by regulating the inflammatory signaling pathway. According to some studies, the saponin components in holly root and bark have significant hypoglycemic effects. These components lower the blood glucose level by stimulating the remaining pancreatic islet β cells and improving insulin secretion.
[0047] Notoginseng is of warm nature, sweet and slightly bitter in taste. It pertains to the liver and stomach meridians. It has the effects of dissipating stasis to stop bleeding and detumescence and relieving pain. Research shows that the total saponins of notoginseng in notoginseng can increase the intracavernous pressure / average dynamic and static pressure, eNOS expression, NO and CGMP levels in the corpus cavernosum of the penis of diabetic rats, and reduce apoptosis, proving that the total saponins of notoginseng can restore the endothelial function in the penis of diabetic rats through the NO / cGMP signaling pathway.
[0048] Epimedium is warm in nature, pungent and sweet in taste. It belongs to the liver and kidney meridians. It has the effects of warming the kidney and strengthening yang, dispelling wind and removing dampness. Epimedium and its main active ingredient icariin have shown significant potential in the treatment of DMED. NO is a key neuromodulatory factor in the process of penile erection. Research shows that icariin can improve erectile function by enhancing the production of NO. The specific mechanisms include regulating the central and peripheral nervous systems, activating the PI3K / Akt signaling pathway, increasing the levels of eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) in penile endothelial cells and NO in serum, thereby promoting penile erection. Icariin significantly enhances the erectile effect by inhibiting the activity of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) and increasing the concentration of cGMP in penile cavernous tissue. This mechanism is similar to that of sildenafil, but icariin shows stronger efficacy in some studies. Oxidative stress is one of the important pathological mechanisms of diabetes and its complications (including erectile dysfunction). Icariin has the effects of scavenging free radicals, reducing oxidative stress damage, and protecting penile cavernous tissue.
[0049] Bombyx batryticatus is neutral in nature, salty and pungent in taste. It belongs to the liver, lung and stomach meridians and has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving convulsion, resolving phlegm and dissipating nodules. It can dispel wind and dredge collaterals, and improve local blood circulation. Modern pharmacological research has found that the pharmacological effects of Bombyx batryticatus mainly include anticoagulation, antithrombosis, anticonvulsion, hypoglycemic, anti-cancer, sedation and hypnosis. The flavonoids in Bombyx batryticatus mainly include quercetin, kaempferol, etc. Both of them are mostly present in plants. However, some scholars used reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography to analyze that the content of quercetin in Bombyx batryticatus is 0.22 mg / g, and the content of kaempferol is 0.64 mg / g. Some studies have found that quercetin and kaempferol are the main chemical components that play hypoglycemic effects, and their mechanism of action may be related to quercetin activating the fibroblast growth factor 21 / adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling pathway in pancreatic tissue. Kaempferol can also improve renal injury and renal fibrosis caused by DN by increasing the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 and insulin and inhibiting RhoA / Rho kinase.
[0050] In the present invention, "diabetes mellitus complicated with erectile dysfunction" refers to the condition that simultaneously meets diabetes mellitus and erectile dysfunction; "diabetic erectile dysfunction" refers to the situation where the onset of diabetes mellitus is earlier than that of erectile dysfunction, and there is a causal correlation between the two in terms of medical history.
[0051] Example 1
[0052] In this example, a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating diabetic erectile dysfunction was prepared, including medicament and medicinal powder.
[0053] The formula is as follows:
[0054] 5g of ginseng, 15g of rhodiola rosea, 30g of rehmannia glutinosa, 30g of astragalus membranaceus, 30g of pueraria lobata, 15g of millettia reticulata, 9g of luffa cylindrica, 9g of peach kernel, 6g of safflower, 9g of angelica sinensis, 15g of white peony root, 30g of ilex pubescens root, 15g of morinda officinalis, 15g of wolfberry fruit, 15g of epimedium, 6 parts of bupleurum chinense, 3g of bombyx batryticatus, 2g of scolopendra subspinipes, 2g of panax notoginseng powder.
[0055] The preparation process is as follows:
[0056] Soak ginseng, rhodiola rosea, rehmannia glutinosa, astragalus membranaceus, pueraria lobata, millettia reticulata, luffa cylindrica, peach kernel, safflower, angelica sinensis, white peony root, ilex pubescens root, morinda officinalis, wolfberry fruit, epimedium and bupleurum chinense in water for 30 minutes, with the water level 2 - 5 cm above the drug surface. After soaking, take out the medicinal materials and conduct two decoctions. Add 6 times the mass of water for the first decoction and 5 times the mass of water for the second decoction. Each decoction time is 20 minutes after boiling. Combine the filtrates of the two times and remove the medicinal residues to obtain the medicinal agent.
[0057] Pulverize bombyx batryticatus, scolopendra subspinipes and panax notoginseng powder, pass through a No. 5 sieve, and take the material under the sieve to obtain the medicinal powder.

[0100] 1.7 Efficacy evaluation criteria
[0101] Referring to the "2022 ADA Diabetes Care Standards", the "2018 AUA Guidelines on the Management of Erectile Dysfunction", and the "2022 Multidisciplinary Chinese Expert Consensus on Diabetes Mellitus Complicated with Male Sexual Dysfunction", the efficacy criteria for the IIEF-15 score are as follows:
[0102] Ineffective: The IIEF-15 score after treatment is < 60 points, and the integral improvement is < 30%;
[0103] Effective: The IIEF-15 score after treatment is < 60 points, and 30% ≤ integral improvement < 60%;
[0104] Markedly effective: The IIEF-15 score after treatment ≥ 60 points, or the IIEF-15 score after treatment is < 60 points but the integral improvement ≥ 60%.
[0105] Note: The calculation formula for integral improvement is: [(total integral after treatment - total integral before treatment)] / total integral before treatment × 100%
[0106] Total effective rate = (number of cured cases + number of markedly effective cases + number of effective cases) / total number of cases × 100%
[0107] 1.8 Statistical methods
[0108] After the clinical data were collected, all the data were used to establish a database. The professional statistical software package SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. Measurement data were described by the mean and standard deviation (x±s). For measurement data conforming to the normal distribution, an independent samples t-test was selected for difference comparison. For measurement data that did not conform to the normal distribution, the rank sum test (Mann-Whitney U test) was used; for count data, the rank sum test and chi-square test were used. Hypothesis testing was uniformly performed using a two-sided test, and the test statistic and its corresponding P value were given. A P<0.05 was considered to have significant statistical significance.
[0109] 2. Results

[0169] 1.5 Random grouping method
[0170] Use SPSS 29.0 statistical software for random grouping. The specific operations are as follows: First, set the starting fixed value of the random number generator to 72021046. Then, use the Rv.Uniform function to generate 80 random numbers between 0 and 1. Subsequently, with the help of the visual binning tool in the conversion function of the software, set the split point to 1 and the split width to 50% to evenly divide the 80 numbered random numbers into two groups, where number 1 represents the control group and number 2 represents the treatment group. At the same time, when admitting patients, assign a number to each patient in the order of admission and record the basic information of the patients. According to the patient number, find the corresponding random number in the random number table. For example, if the patient number is 1, take the number with the number 1 in the random number table; if the number is 35, assign the patient to the control group; if the number is 68, assign the patient to the treatment group. Record the grouping information (control group or treatment group) of the patients together with the patient numbers and basic information in a special table or database to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data for subsequent research and analysis.
[0171] 1.6 Treatment plan
[0172] Basic treatment: On the basis of providing diabetes health education popularization, receiving medical nutrition guidance, conducting active physical exercise, and monitoring the changes in the condition for all patients, referring to the standards of the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China (2020 Edition)", routine basic treatment for diabetes was given (for the enrolled patients, metformin hydrochloride tablets (manufactured by Merck Pharmaceutical (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. / manufacturer: Sino-American Shanghai Squibb Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., specification: 0.5 g / tablet) were orally taken with meals, and insulin was combined for those with ineffective results), and the blood glucose was controlled at 4.4 mmol / L ≤ FBG ≤ 7.0 mmol / L, 4.4 mmol / L ≤ P2HBG ≤ 10.0 mmol / L, and the blood glucose was controlled at the ideal level as much as possible (if blood glucose fluctuations occurred, the treatment plan could be adjusted in a timely manner). At the same time, the patients were required not to smoke and limit alcohol consumption.
[0173] Control group: On the basis of basic treatment, sildenafil was orally administered (manufacturer: Pfizer Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., specification: 50 mg / tablet), 1 tablet each time, once a night, and taken 1 hour before sexual intercourse, and 8 consecutive weeks were taken as a course of treatment.
[0174] Observation group: The traditional Chinese medicine composition of Example 2 was added on the basis of the control group. Each dose of the medicine was 200 mL, taken warm, and each dose of the powder was 4 g, swallowed, twice a day; 8 consecutive weeks were taken as a course of treatment.
[0175] 1.7 Efficacy and observation indicators
[0176] Each observation item was tested and evaluated within 1 week before treatment and within 1 month after 8 weeks (one course of treatment) of treatment.
[0177] (1) In terms of the main efficacy indicators:
[0178] Core indicator: That is, the corresponding scoring situation of the "International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (abbreviated as 'IIEF-15')".
[0179] (2) Secondary observation indicators:
[0180] The TCM syndrome scores, physical signs, tongue manifestations, and pulse conditions before and after treatment.
[0181] (3) Safety observation indicators:
[0182] Mainly observe whether there is physical discomfort during the treatment period, and ask whether there is an allergic reaction to the treatment, etc.
[0183] 1.8 Efficacy evaluation
[0184] (1) Referring to the "2022 ADA Diabetes Care Standards", the "2018 AUA Erectile Dysfunction Guidelines" and the "2022 Multidisciplinary Chinese Expert Consensus on Diabetes Complicated with Male Sexual Dysfunction", the efficacy criteria for the IIEF-15 score are as follows:
[0185] Ineffective: After treatment, the IIEF-15 score < 60 points, and the integral improvement < 30%;
[0186] Effective: After treatment, the IIEF-15 score < 60 points, and 30% ≤ integral improvement < 60%;
[0187] Markedly effective: After treatment, the IIEF-15 score ≥ 60 points, or after treatment, the IIEF-15 score < 60 points but the integral improvement ≥ 60%.
[0188] Note: The formula for calculating the integral improvement is: [(total integral after treatment - total integral before treatment)] / total integral before treatment × 100%
[0189] Total effective rate = (number of cured cases + number of markedly effective cases + number of effective cases) / total number of cases × 100%
[0190] (2) The TCM efficacy criteria refer to the relevant syndrome determination criteria and expert guidance in the "Guiding Principles for Clinical Research of Traditional Chinese Medicines in the Treatment of Impotence", and the TCM syndrome scoring scale is used. The efficacy criteria are as follows:
[0191] Cured: The primary and secondary syndromes basically disappear or completely disappear, and the score decreases by ≥ 95% compared with before treatment;
[0192] Markedly effective: The primary and secondary syndromes are significantly relieved, and the score decreases by 60% ≤ and < 95% compared with before treatment;
[0193] Effective: The primary and secondary syndromes are partially relieved, and the score decreases by 30% ≤ and < 60% compared with before treatment;
[0194] Ineffective: The primary and secondary syndromes are not relieved or aggravated, and the score decreases by < 30% compared with before treatment.
[0195] Total effective rate = (number of cured cases + number of markedly effective cases + number of effective cases) / total number of cases × 100%
[0196] (3) EHS score: According to the erectile hardness score (EHS) standard, observe and compare the changes in the EHS scores of the two groups of patients before and after treatment.
[0197] 1.9 Handling of adverse events
[0198] Predict and identify possible negative events. When these events occur, record their characteristics, severity, duration, and impact on the study participants in detail. According to the nature and severity of the events, take appropriate countermeasures, which may involve stopping treatment, adjusting the dose or treatment frequency, etc.
[0199] 1.10 Statistical methods
[0200] SPSS 29.0 software was used for data analysis. First, the continuous data were tested for normal distribution and homogeneity of variance. When the data conformed to the normal distribution and the variance was homogeneous, the t-test was used to analyze the data: the independent sample t-test was used to compare the two independent groups of samples; for the comparison of the same group of samples at different time points, the paired sample t-test was used, and the statistical results were presented in the form of mean plus or minus standard deviation (±s). If the data did not conform to the normal distribution or the variance was not homogeneous, non-parametric test methods were used instead. For multi-classified and ordered hierarchical data, such as the comparison of clinical efficacy between two groups, the rank sum test was used for analysis. All tests were judged at a significance level of α = 0.05.
[0201] 2. Results
[0202] 2.1 Basic clinical data
[0203] A total of 80 cases were collected, with 40 cases in the treatment group and 40 cases in the control group. Four cases in the treatment group and three cases in the control group dropped out for some reason, and the final effective cases were 36 cases in the treatment group and 37 cases in the control group. Before treatment, the age, severity of ED, IIEF-15 score, TCM syndrome score, fasting blood sugar level, and erection hardness score of the two groups were compared. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in each index (P>0.05).
[0204] 2.2 Clinical efficacy
[0205] After 8 weeks of treatment, the effectiveness of IIEF-15 score was compared and analyzed between the two groups of patients. In the treatment group, 8 patients reached the marked effect standard, 14 patients showed effectiveness, 14 patients were ineffective, and the total effective rate was 61.1%; in the control group, 2 patients were markedly effective, 12 patients were effective, 21 patients were ineffective, and the total effective rate was 38.8%. The clinical efficacy of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group. The efficacy data of the two groups were statistically analyzed by the chi-square test method, and the results showed that P<0.05, which indicated that the difference in efficacy results between the treatment group and the control group was statistically significant. The specific results are shown in Table 6.

[0225] 1.3 Inclusion criteria are the same as those in Test Example 1
[0226] 1.4 Exclusion criteria are the same as those in Test Example 1
[0227] 1.5 Treatment methods:
[0228] Basic treatment: On the basis of giving diabetes health education popularization, receiving medical nutrition guidance, carrying out active physical exercise, and monitoring the condition changes for all patients, referring to the standards of the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China (2020 Edition)", conventional basic treatment for diabetes was given (the patients in the study group took metformin hydrochloride tablets (manufactured by Merck Pharmaceutical (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. / manufacturer: Sino-US Shanghai Squibb Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., specification: 0.5 g / tablet) with meals, and insulin was combined if the effect was not obvious), and the blood glucose was controlled at 4.4 mmol / L ≤ FBG ≤ 7.0 mmol / L, 4.4 mmol / L ≤ P2HBG ≤ 10.0 mmol / L, and the blood glucose was controlled at the ideal level as much as possible (if blood glucose fluctuations occurred, the treatment plan could be adjusted in time). At the same time, the patients were required not to smoke and limit alcohol consumption.
[0229] Experimental group: Oral administration of the traditional Chinese medicine composition of Example 1. Each dose was 200 mL, taken warm, and each dose of powder was 3.5 g, swallowed; twice a day; continuous administration for 8 weeks was regarded as one course of treatment.
[0230] Control group: Oral administration of the traditional Chinese medicine composition in Chinese Patent "CN 112972562 B". Twice a day, 200 mL each time, taken warm; continuous administration for 8 weeks was regarded as one course of treatment.
[0231] 1.6 Observation indicators
[0232] Each observation item was tested and evaluated within 1 week before treatment and within 1 month after 8 weeks (one course of treatment).
[0233] (1) In terms of the main efficacy indicators:
[0234] Core indicator: The corresponding score of the "International Index of Erectile Function (abbreviated as "IIEF-15")" questionnaire.
[0235] (2) Secondary observation indicators:
[0236] 1) Erectile Hardness Score (EHS) before and after treatment;
[0237] 2) TCM syndrome scores, signs, tongue manifestations, and pulse conditions before and after treatment.
[0238] (3) Safety observation indicators:
[0239] General physical examination items: Measuring blood pressure and heart rate; Laboratory tests: Blood and urine routine; Electrocardiogram, liver function (ALT), and kidney function (BUN, Scr) examinations.
[0240] 1.7 Efficacy evaluation criteria
[0241] Referring to the "2022 ADA Diabetes Care Standards", the "2018 AUA Guidelines on the Management of Erectile Dysfunction", and the "2022 Multidisciplinary Chinese Expert Consensus on Diabetes Complicated with Male Sexual Dysfunction", the efficacy criteria for IIEF-15 scores are as follows:
[0242] Ineffective: The IIEF-15 score after treatment is < 60 points, and the integral improvement is < 30%;
[0243] Effective: The IIEF-15 score after treatment is < 60 points, and 30% ≤ integral improvement < 60%;
[0244] Markedly effective: The IIEF-15 score after treatment is ≥ 60 points, or the IIEF-15 score after treatment is < 60 points but the integral improvement is ≥ 60%.
[0245] Note: The calculation formula for integral improvement is: [(total score after treatment - total score before treatment)] / total score before treatment × 100%
[0246] Total effective rate = (number of cured cases + number of markedly effective cases + number of effective cases) / total number of cases × 100%
[0247] 1.8 Statistical methods
[0248] After the clinical data were collected, all the data were entered into a database. Statistical analysis was performed using the professional statistical software package SPSS 25.0. Measurement data were described by the mean and standard deviation (x±s). For measurement data that conformed to a normal distribution, an independent samples t-test was selected for comparison of differences. For measurement data that did not conform to a normal distribution, the rank sum test (Mann-Whitney U test) was used; for count data, the rank sum test and chi-square test were used. Hypothesis testing was uniformly performed using two-sided tests, and the test statistic and its corresponding P value were given. A P<0.05 was considered to indicate significant statistical significance.
