Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically, it relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating peri-transplantation diarrhea of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a key treatment for hematologic malignancies such as leukemia. However, this procedure involves high-dose chemoradiotherapy pretreatment and immunosuppressive therapy, often leading to various complications, among which diarrhea is particularly common and severely impacts patients' quality of life and prognosis. The incidence of diarrhea during transplantation is as high as 40%-90%, with complex and diverse etiologies, mainly including direct damage to the intestinal mucosa from pretreatment toxicity, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) affecting the intestines, various infections (bacteria, viruses, fungi) under immunosuppression, side effects of multiple drugs (such as immunosuppressants and antibiotics), and intestinal flora imbalance. This diarrhea not only causes malabsorption, dehydration, and electrolyte disturbances in patients but also increases the risk of perianal infections and complicates treatment. In patients with leukopenia (especially neutrophils), perianal abscess formation is significantly associated with intestinal flora translocation. Microbiome dysbiosis is not only a result of infection but also a core factor driving the occurrence, progression, and treatment resistance of anorectal infections.
[0003] Currently, Western medicine treatment for peri-transplant diarrhea mainly involves etiological treatment and symptomatic supportive care. Commonly used antidiarrheal drugs include loperamide, montmorillonite powder, and octreotide. Although these drugs have some effect, their efficacy is often unsatisfactory for diarrhea caused by GVHD or severe mucositis; long-term or improper use may lead to side effects such as constipation and abdominal distension, and some drugs should be used with caution in cases of infectious diarrhea; in addition, transplant patients often experience nausea, vomiting, and mucositis, making oral administration difficult and resulting in poor absorption; symptomatic antidiarrheal treatment is also insufficient to repair damaged mucosa or regulate disordered immune function.
[0004] Against this backdrop, seeking safer, more effective, and convenient treatment methods is particularly important. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) external therapies, especially poultices, have shown unique potential. TCM poultices, through the dual effects of transdermal absorption and acupoint stimulation, can exert multiple effects such as local anti-inflammatory, mucosal repair, immune regulation, and diarrhea and pain relief. The strengthening and tonifying effects of TCM poultices, along with their ability to reduce toxicity and enhance efficacy, can effectively prevent diarrhea and are of great significance in regulating intestinal flora, reducing the risk of perianal infections, and improving prognosis. Compared to oral medications, they have advantages such as high safety, fewer side effects, ease of use (especially suitable for patients who have difficulty taking oral medications), and good patient compliance. Previous research on digestive system diseases, such as the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), has accumulated experience and shown good efficacy.
[0005] However, there are currently no systematic studies or reports on the design, safety, effectiveness, and ease of clinical application of a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) poultice therapy specifically designed for the treatment of diarrhea with complex etiologies occurring during the peri-transplantation period of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells in leukemia patients, as well as the high incidence of intestinal microbiota imbalance and perianal infection due to chemotherapy-induced diarrhea. Therefore, developing a targeted, effective, safe, and convenient TCM poultice specifically for treating peri-transplantation diarrhea in leukemia patients has significant clinical importance and application value.

[0098] 2.4 Statistical Methods
[0099] A database was established using IBM SPSS 26.0, and statistical tests were performed on the data. Frequency and percentage were used to describe the general data of the research subjects. Frequency, percentage (categorical data), mean, and standard deviation (normally distributed data), or median and quartiles (non-normally distributed data) were used to describe the general data of the research subjects. For continuous data, t-tests were used if the data conformed to a normal distribution; otherwise, rank-sum tests were used. Chi-square tests were used for categorical data.
[0100] 3. Results
[0101] The incidence of grade ≥2 diarrhea was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (50.9% vs 72.2%, P=0.023). The duration of diarrhea [median (interquartile range): 9 (3, 13) days] was significantly shorter in the intervention group than in the control group [median (interquartile range): 13 (3, 22) days] (P=0.038). The incidence of new perianal infections within 30 days post-transplantation was significantly lower in the intervention group (3.6% vs 22.2%, p=0.004). No treatment-related adverse events were reported in the intervention group.
[0102] Conclusion: The patch of this invention has a good therapeutic effect on diarrhea during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, significantly reducing the incidence of severe diarrhea, shortening the duration of diarrhea, and reducing perianal infections in patients. The intervention is safe, well-tolerated, and can improve patients' quality of life and reduce the risk of infection. The patch prepared by this invention can serve as a supportive strategy to alleviate diarrhea-related complications and promote the recovery of transplant recipients.
[0103] Example 5
[0104] The patient, Ms. Lai, 18 years old, was admitted to the hospital due to "diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia more than 6 months ago and diarrhea for 1 month".
[0105] The patient presented with petechiae on the lower extremities in October 2025. A blood test at another hospital showed a WBC count of 11.76 × 10⁻⁶. 9 / L, Hb 75g / L, Plt 23×10 9 / L, bone marrow aspiration morphology suggested AML-M2B, flow cytometry showed 6.98% abnormal primitive cells, chromosome t(8;21), positive ETO fusion gene, high WT1 expression, KIT D816H and D820Y mutations, and KDM6A variant. After multiple cycles of chemotherapy including Ida+AraC, HD-AraC+HHT+avatinib, the patient underwent the fourth cycle of HD-AraC+HHT+avatinib on March 20, 2026. During chemotherapy, the patient experienced mild diarrhea, with bowel movements increasing to 3-4 times / day, loose stools, approximately 200g / day, CTC grade 1, without specific treatment. Three days after the end of chemotherapy, the diarrhea worsened, with bowel movements increasing to 7-9 times / day, watery stools, approximately 400g / day, CTC grade 3 (severe diarrhea), accompanied by mild abdominal pain and hyperactive bowel sounds. The patient received symptomatic and supportive treatment including montmorillonite powder, loperamide, oral rehydration salts, probiotics, and anti-infectives, but the diarrhea symptoms did not improve significantly and persisted for more than a month. On April 30, 2026, the patch prepared in Example 1 of this invention was added for intervention. The skin of the patient's Shenque acupoint, bilateral Tianshu acupoints, and bilateral Zusanli acupoints was cleaned, and one patch was placed at each acupoint and fixed with a medical dressing. It was applied once a day for 12 hours each time. On the 7th day after use, the frequency of bowel movements decreased to 4-5 times / day, and the stool was still loose but the amount decreased to about 250g / day, with CTC grade 2; on the 10th day after use, it decreased to 2-3 times / day, and the stool gradually became formed, with CTC grade 1; on the 18th day after use, the bowel movements completely returned to normal (1-2 times / day, formed stool).
[0106] No adverse reactions such as redness, rash, itching, or burning were observed on the skin at the patch application site. Patient compliance was good, indicating that the patch was easy to use and did not increase the burden of nursing care.
[0107] Example 6
[0108] The patient, Mr. Zhang, male, 47 years old, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia one month ago and experienced diarrhea for three days after chemotherapy.
[0109] One month ago, the patient presented with fatigue and fever. A complete blood count showed pancytopenia. Bone marrow aspiration morphology, flow cytometry, and gene testing indicated acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M2). Initial complete remission was achieved after induction chemotherapy with the IA regimen (daunorubicin + cytarabine). The patient underwent a second cycle of consolidation chemotherapy with the DAE regimen (daunorubicin + cytarabine + etoposide). During chemotherapy, the patient experienced mild nausea and decreased appetite, which were tolerable. On the third day, the patient developed diarrhea, with bowel movements increasing to 2-3 times per day, unformed stools, and a volume of approximately 250g per day, meeting the CTC grade 1 diarrhea criteria. The patient was treated with the patch prepared in Example 1 of this invention. The skin of the Shenque acupoint, bilateral Tianshu acupoints, and bilateral Zusanli acupoints was cleaned, and one patch was placed at each acupoint and secured with a medical dressing. This was done once daily for 12 hours each time. On the fifth day, bowel movements returned to normal, with the frequency decreasing to 1-2 times per day and the stool becoming formed. Throughout the chemotherapy process, no adverse reactions such as redness, rash, itching, or burning were observed on the skin at the patch application site, and patient compliance was good.
[0110] Example 7
[0111] Patient Zhang, male, 25 years old, was admitted to the hospital for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia 3 months ago.
[0112] Three months prior, the patient presented with fatigue and fever. A complete blood count showed pancytopenia, and bone marrow aspiration morphology, flow cytometry, and gene testing indicated AML-M2 type. Initial complete remission was achieved after induction chemotherapy. This patient was admitted for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Six days prior to transplantation, the patch prepared in Example 1 of this invention was administered. The skin of the patient's Shenque (CV8), bilateral Tianshu (ST25), and bilateral Zusanli (ST36) acupoints was cleaned, and one patch was placed at each acupoint and secured with a medical dressing. This was done once daily for 12 hours each time, for 5 weeks (until day 30 post-transplantation). Day 1 before transplantation (-1 day): The patient experienced mild diarrhea, with bowel movements increasing to 2-3 times / day. The stool was loose, meeting the CTC grade 1 diarrhea criteria. This was considered to be due to intestinal mucosal toxicity from the pretreatment drugs. The patch intervention prepared in Example 1 of this invention was continued, and no other antidiarrheal medications were added. Days 9-10 post-transplant: Diarrhea worsened, with bowel movements increasing to 4-6 times / day, loose stools, approximately 280g / day, meeting the CTC grade 2 diarrhea criteria. Mild borborygmus and abdominal pain were present, but no fever. The patch intervention prepared in Example 1 of this invention was continued. Day 11 post-transplant: Diarrhea subsided, bowel movements returned to 1-2 times / day, formed stools. Day 17 post-transplant: One episode of mild diarrhea occurred, with bowel movements 2-3 times / day, loose stools, CTC grade 1. Day 18 post-transplant: Diarrhea subsided, bowel movements returned to 1-2 times / day, formed stools. Day 24 post-transplant: Another episode of mild diarrhea occurred, with bowel movements 2-3 times / day, loose stools, CTC grade 1. Day 25 post-transplant: Diarrhea subsided, bowel movements returned to 1-2 times / day, formed stools. During the observation period, the patient's diarrhea exhibited a fluctuating pattern of "acute onset - rapid relief - occasional mild symptoms," and did not progress to severe diarrhea of CTC grade 3 or above. Throughout the entire transplant observation period, the patient's perianal skin remained clean and dry, with intact mucosa, without redness, swelling, induration, heat, pain, or ulceration, and no perianal infection occurred. No adverse reactions such as redness, rash, itching, burning sensation, or damage were observed on the local skin at the patch sites (Shenque, Tianshu, and Zusanli acupoints).
