A clinical study of Weining Granules in the treatment of gastric precancerous lesions

【摘要】 OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effects of Weining Granules on gastric precancerous lesions(GPLs).METHODS:120 patients with GPLs were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive Weining Granules(trial group) or the comparator Weifuchun tablets(control group) for 6 months.Outcomes were compared between the two groups including:overall response;gastroscopically-determined response;pathologically-confirmed response;eradication of Helicobacter pylori(HP);microvessel density(MVD) in the gastric mucosa;expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF);interleukin 2(IL-2);interleukin 6(IL-6);T lymphocyte subsets;immunoglobulins;symptom scores;quality of life(QOL);and adverse reactions.RESULTS:Patients in the trial group had a significantly higher(P<0.05) overall response rate(81.7%) as compared with those in the control group(63.3%).Relative to treatment with Weifuchun tablets treatment with Weining Granules resulted in a significant improvement(P<0.05) in the scores for gastric pain,distension and stuffiness in the hypochondrium,and anorexia.As compared with the tablets the Granules were associated with a significantly higher overall gastroscopically-determined response rate(78.3%;P<0.05).Pathological examination of tissue samples indicated that 61.7% of patients receiving the granules were cured with an overall response rate of 75.5%;these rates were significantly higher than in the control group(P<0.05).In comparison with patients receiving the tablets,those given the granules were significantly more likely to have their HP eradicated(75.0% vs.51.4%;P<0.05).Improvements in MVD,VEGF,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+,IL-2,IL-6 and IgG were significantly greater with the Weining Granules than with the Weifuchun tablets(P<0.05 or P<0.01).After follow-up of 1 year,17.5% of patients in the trial group relapsed as compared with 39.5% in the control group(P<0.05).Relative to the control group,the trial group showed significantly greater improvements in physical,psychological and social relationships,and in environmental domains(P<0.05 or P<0.01).No significant adverse reactions were observed during treatment.CONCLUSION:The Weining Granules appear to be effective in improving the gastric precancerous state and the main symptoms,in inhibiting angiogenesis,enhancing immune function and QOL,and in reducing 1-year relapses.In addition,this preparation seems to be associated with a low risk of adverse events,making it a safe and efficacious option for the treatment of GPLs.更多还原
