Study on the Mechanism of Dahuang Mudan Decoction in the Treatment of Uterine Leiomyoma Based on the Effect of Intestinal Flora on Reproductive Hormones
To explore the mechanism of DahuangMudan Decoction in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma based on the effect of intestinal flora on reproductive hormones.Methods:A total of 96 patients with uterine leiomyoma admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College were selected as the research objects and were randomly divided into a control group(n=48)and an observation group(n=48)according to order of visits.The control group was treated with mifepristone and the observation group was treated with DahuangMudan Decoction for 3 months.The changes of reproductive hormone,intestinal flora,cytokines,T lymphocyte subsets,NK cells,Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,uterine volume and myoma volume were observed between the 2 groups.Results:1)after treatment,estrogen(E2),progesterone(P),follicle stimulating number(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-2 α(TNF-2 α),CD8+,enterobacteria and yeast-like fungi decreased,while IL-22,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+,NK cells,enterococci,bifidobacteria and lactobacillus increased after treatment.The observation group was better than the control group(P<0.05).2)after treatment,the lower abdominal mass,menstrual changes,uterine volume and myoma volume between the 2 groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and those in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).3)The clinical effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Dahuang Mudan Decoction can inhibit reproductive hormones and increase cellular immune factors by regulating intestinal flora,and to reduce the volume of leiomyoma.
