[0143] 3.1.3 Traditional Chinese medicine efficacy evaluation indicators

[0144] According to the changes of the scores of the main symptoms and secondary symptoms of TCM syndromes before and after treatment, the semi-quantitative grading scoring evaluation method was used, i.e. according to the four grades of none, mild, moderate and severe, the main symptoms were scored as 0, 2, 4 and 6 points, and the secondary symptoms were scored as 0, 1, 2 and 3 points, respectively. The corresponding scores were evaluated before and after treatment. According to the Guiding Principles for the Clinical Study of New Drugs of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the evaluation criteria for the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine are as follows:

[0145] Marked effect: the TCM clinical symptoms and signs are obviously improved, and the syndrome efficacy rate after treatment is ≥70%;

[0146] Effective: the TCM clinical symptoms and signs are improved, and the syndrome efficacy rate after treatment is ≥30% and <70%;

[0147] No effect: the TCM clinical symptoms and signs are not obviously improved, or even aggravated, and the syndrome efficacy rate after treatment is <30%.

[0148] Note: Syndrome efficacy rate = (total score before treatment - total score after treatment) / total score before treatment * 100%; Overall syndrome efficacy rate = (number of patients with marked effect + number of patients with effect) / total number of patients * 100%.

[0157] Serious adverse event definition: causing death; threatening life; causing hospitalization or prolonging hospitalization; causing persistent or severe disability / loss of ability; causing congenital abnormalities or birth defects; important medical events (such as those that may affect the subject and may require drugs / surgery to prevent the above results).

[0158] 4. Statistical analysis

[0159] Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software. Measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation [(X ± S)], and t-test was used for comparison between groups; measurement data not conforming to normal distribution were expressed as median and quartile [M(P 25 , P 75 )], and Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. For measurement data of pre- and post-treatment differences conforming to normal distribution, paired t-test was used for comparison within groups; for measurement data of pre- and post-treatment differences not conforming to normal distribution, paired design sign rank sum test was used for comparison within groups. Count data were expressed as cases (%) and χ2test was used for comparison between groups, with Bonferroni method for multiple comparisons. P<0.05 was considered to have statistically significant difference.

[0160] 5. Research results

[0161] A total of 77 patients meeting the criteria were included in this study, including 39 cases in the experimental group and 38 cases in the control group. During the experiment, 2 cases in the experimental group were lost to follow-up, 5 cases dropped out, 3 cases in the control group were lost to follow-up, and 4 cases dropped out. The reasons for dropping out were all due to the patients' voluntary withdrawal and failure to take the required medication. One patient in the experimental group was excluded. Finally, 62 patients were included, with 31 cases in the experimental group and 31 cases in the control group.

[0274] Test Example 2

[0275] 1. Animal experiment design

[0276] Male ob / ob mice were purchased from Janvier Labs (Shanghai, China). Five-week-old male mice (body weight: 20 ± 2 g) were maintained in a standard environment at 22-24 °C, with a 12:12 h light-dark cycle, humidity (65% ± 5%), and free access to standardized food and filtered water ad libitum. After one week of acclimatization, different treatments were given. The mice treated with normal saline were used as the control group, the mice treated with orlistat (30 mg / kg) were used as the positive control group, and the mice treated with low-dose traditional Chinese medicine extract 1 (YQHJQZ-L, 15.73 g / kg) and high-dose traditional Chinese medicine extract 1 (YQHJQZ-H, 62.92 g / kg) were defined as the treatment groups. Each group was administered by gavage. Thirty-two ob / ob male mice were randomly divided into four groups: 1) normal chow diet (NCD) + normal saline group (n = 8); 2) NCD + orlistat (30 mg / kg) group (n = 8); 3) NCD + YQHJQZ low dose (15.73 g / kg) group (n = 8); 4) NCD + YQHJQZ high dose (62.92 g / kg) group (n = 8). The above doses were the doses of orlistat and YQHJQZ dissolved in normal saline. A total of six weeks of treatment, with weekly weighing. After 6 weeks, the mice were fasted overnight, free water was given, and white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) were taken after anesthesia, weighed, and recorded.

[0277] 2. Results of the experiment

[0278] 2.1 YQHJQZ reduces the body weight of ob / ob mice

[0279] After feeding ob / ob mice with orlistat and different doses of YQHJQZ, the body weight of mice in the orlistat group and the YQHJQZ group was lower than that of the control group from the second week, and was lower than that of the control group within 6 weeks (see Fig. 1A). After six weeks of treatment, the body weight of mice in the orlistat group and the different doses of YQHJQZ group was significantly lower than that of the model group (see Fig. 1B). Figure 1 Figure 1

[0280] 2.2 YQHJQZ reduces the weight of white adipose tissue in ob / ob mice

[0281] After 6 weeks, the white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) of each group of mice were weighed and analyzed. It was found that compared with the model group, the weight of the inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) of mice in the orlistat group, the YQHJQZ-L group and the YQHJQZ-H group was significantly reduced (see Fig. 2), and the weight of the epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of mice in the YQHJQZ-H group was significantly reduced compared with the model group (see Fig. 3). Figure 2 Figure 3 ​​​), while the eWAT of the orlistat group and the YQHJQZ-L group had no significant change compared with the model group, and the weight of BAT had no significant difference among the model group, the orlistat group and the YQHJQZ group (see Figure 4 ), which indicated that YQHJQZ did not affect the weight of BAT of ob / ob mice.
