目的探讨五岳抗甲丸辅助治疗Graves病(以下简称GD)的疗效及作用机制。方法将58例初诊GD患者随机分为观察组与对照组各29例,两组均口服他巴唑5-15mg或丙基硫氧嘧啶50-150mg,3次/d,观察组在此基础上加服五岳抗甲丸3-5g,3次/d。两组均连续用药3个月。观察两组治疗前后甲状腺体积及血清胰岛素样生长因子-I(IGF-I)水平变化,并行相关分析。结果两组治疗后甲状腺体积均明显缩小,血清IGF-I水平均下降,但观察组下降更明显(P〈0.01)。甲状腺体积与血清IGF-I水平呈正相关(r=0.57,P〈0.01)。结论五岳抗甲丸治疗GD效果确切,其机制可能为降低血清IGF-I的水平。
Objective To study the effect of the Wuyue Kangjia Pill (WKP) in combination with medicine treatment on thyroid volumes and serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) levels in patients with Graves disease (GD). Methods 58 patients were divided into two groups: Group A was treated with methimazole (MT) or propyhhiouracil (PTU) alone and Group B was treated with MT or PTU combined with WKP. Thyroid volumes and serum IGF-I levels in patients were al- so observed in Group A and B before and after treatment. The correlation between thyroid volumes and serum IGF-I levels in patients was analyzed. Results The two parameters in Group A and Group B were decreased after treatment (P 〈 0.05 ). They were decreased more in Group B than in Group A after treatment (all P 〈0.01 ). There was a positive correlation between thyroid volumes and serum IGF-I levels in patients ( r = 0. 57, P 〈: 0.01 ). Conclusions WKP in combination with western medicine treatment can improve goiters more effectively than only traditional western medicine by decreasing serum IGF-I levels of patients with GD.
