Abstract
Introduction
BZD is a classic Chinese herbal formula consisting of eight herbs, including Panax ginseng C.A. Mey. (Rén shēn), Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC. (Dì (Huáng), Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (Bái zhú), Smilax glabra Roxb. (Fúlíng), Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Dāngguī), Conioselinum anthriscoides 'Chuanxiong' (Chuānxiōng), Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (Sháoyào), Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (Gāncǎo). Pharmacological studies have demonstrated that the active ingredients in BZD have some hypoglycemic effect. This study aims to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of BZD on T2DM.
Methods
PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, China Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biomedical CD-ROM (Sino Med), Wanfang database, and Vipshop (VIP) were searched from its inception to August 2023. The quality of the included literature was assessed by including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving BZD for T2DM with no language restrictions, using the Cochrane recommended risk of bias assessment tool, and applying RevMan 5.4 software for data analysis.
Results
The final analysis covered 12 publications, showing that the combination of BZD with conventional treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone in the levels of fasting blood glucose (WMD = −1.18; 95 % CI [-1.55, −0.82], p < 0.00001), two-hour postprandial glucose (WMD = −1.3; 95 % CI [-1.98, −0.61]; p < 0.00001), glycosylated haemoglobin ( WMD = −0.66; 95 % CI [-0.93, −0.39]; p < 0.00001), total cholesterol (WMD = −1.11; 95 % CI [-1.94, −0.28]; p < 0.00001), triglycerides (WMD = −0.55; 95 % CI [-0.63, −0.48]; p = 0.36), and total effective rate (RR = 1.21; 95 % CI [1.14, 1.28]; p < 0.00001).
Conclusion
BZD has a potential to enhance glucose and lipid metabolism among the patients with T2DM and improve clinical outcomes. However, more high-quality RCTs are required to validate these findings.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
