treatment- β value change of 1
Abstract
To observe the clinical efficacy of Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang combined with
Diqu Progesterone Tablets in the treatment of patients with endometriosis, and to analyze
the serum MIF and TGF of patients - β the impact of 1 . 60 EM p atients were selected and
randomly divided into a traditional Chinese medicine group, a combination of traditional
Chinese and Western medicine group, and a western medicine group, with 20 cases each.
The traditional Chinese medicine group was given oral Q uyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang; The
Western medicine group was given oral Dafu Tong (Diqu Progesterone Tablets); The
combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine group was given a combined oral
administration of Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang and Diqu Prog esterone Tablets. After three
consecutive months of treatment, the clinical efficacy and total effective rate of the three
groups of patients were compared. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used
to detect the levels of macrophage migration inh ibitory factor (MIF) and transforming
growth factor (TGF) in the serum of the three groups of patients before and after treatment-
β 1 level.
The total effective rate (95%) of clinical efficacy in the combination of traditional
Chinese and Western medicine group is better than that in the traditional Chinese medicine
group (90%) and the western medicine group (90%); After treatment, the serum MIF levels
of the three groups of patients were significantly reduced compared to before treatment, and
P (0.033) in the combination of Chinese and Western medicine group was lower than P (0.036)
in the traditional Chinese medicine group and P (0.036) in the we stern medicine group;
Serum TGF of the three groups after treatment - β All levels were significantly lower than
before treatment, and P (0.035) in the combination of traditional Chinese and Western
medicine group was lower than P (0.043) in the traditional Chinese medicine group and P
(0.042) in the western medicine group. The P -values are all<0.05, indicating significant
significance in the experiment. Conclusion: Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang combined with
Diqu Progesterone Tablets can effectively alleviate t he clinical symptoms of patients with
endometriosis, and can reduce the serum MIF and TGF of patients - β At the first level, the

1. Introduction
Endometriosis (EM), also known as endom etriosis, refers to an estrogen dependent disease in
which active endometrial tissue (stroma and glands) implants, grows, and repeatedly damages areas
outside the endometrium and myometrium of the uterus. It is a common, frequently occurring, and
difficult disease in gynecology[1]. According to comprehensive literature reports, about 2% -10% of
women of childbearing age suffer from EM, with infertility accounting for up to 50%[2]. The etiology
and pathogenesis of this disease are not yet fully understood, and inflammatory reactions and immune
system abnormalities are believed to be closely related to it. Professor Zhang Xiaofeng believes that
the traditional Chinese medicine etiology and pathogenesis of EM are "stasis, turbidity, and dampness
toxin intertwined", so he developed his own Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang [3]. This prescription mainly
uses insect like drugs to clear meridians and collaterals, detoxify and relieve pain, and is
supplemented by tonifying qi and tonifying the body, as well as promoting deto xification and going
out. It has achieved good therapeutic effects in clinical treatment of endometriosis. This study aims
to observe the clinical efficacy of Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang combined with Diqu Progesterone
Tablets in the treatment of endometriosis patients, and analyze the effects of serum MIF and TGF on
patients with endometriosis-
β. The impact of 1 provides a basis for its clinical application.
2. Clinical data
2.1 General Information:
Sixty outpatient patients who were diagnosed with "endometriosis" at Xi'an Traditional Chinese
Medicine Hospital from March 2022 to October 2022 and diagnosed with "stasis, turbidity, and
dampness toxin intertwined" were selected. Age range from 18 to 45 years, with an average age of
33.33 ± 5.66 years; The course of the disease is 0.4-6 years, with an average of 2.09 ± 1.24 years;
2.2 Diagnostic criteria:
Diagnostic criteria for Western medicine:
According to the diagnosis and treatment guidelines published in the Chinese Journal of Obstetrics
and Gynecol ogy in 2021 [1];The 2018 version of the "Chinese Expert Consensus on Long term
Management of Endometriosis" [4];In 2015, the "Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for
Endometriosis" was released by the Endometriosis Collaborative Group of the Obstetrics and
Gynecology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association [5];Diagnosis and treatment standards
published by the Obs tetrics and Gynecology Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of
Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in 1991 [6].Based on the above relevant literature, the
proposed standards are as follows:(1) The patient has a history of or has no painful menstruation, or
has mild dysmenorrhea, with or without a history of uterine cavity surgery;(2) ①The patient's
dysmenorrhea gradually worsens; ②The symptoms of discomfort in the abdomen and lumbosacral
region of the patient during menstruation gradually worsen;③The patient has periodic rectal irritation
symptoms, which gradually worsen;④When the doctor examined the patient's body, it was found that
193
there were tender nodules in the posterior fornix, uterosacral ligament, or uterine isthmus; ⑤The
patient's ultrasound showed a lump of adhesions in the appendix accompanied by a nodular sensation
of the capsule, and the fallopian tube was unobstructed;⑥The patient showed significant changes in
the size of the aforementioned lump in the attachment before and after menstruation (But the patient
did not use anti-inflammatory drugs. ).Any combination of points ①, ②, and ③, as well as points
④, ⑤, and ⑥, can be considered as a clinical diagnosis.
Diagnostic criteria for traditional Chinese medicine:
The endometriosis sy ndrome treated with "Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang" belongs to the
"combination of blood stasis, turbidity, and dampness toxin". Referring to the relevant chapters on
"excessive menstruation" and "dysmenorrhea" in the tenth edition of "Traditional Chinese Medi cine
Gynecology" published by China Traditional Chinese Medicine Press [7] and "Diagnosis of
Traditional Chinese Medicine" (the third edition of the new century), the specific standards are as
follows:
The main symptom of the patient is abdominal pain befo re or during menstruation, and the pain
refuses to press.
Tongue coating and pulse condition: The tongue is purple dark or red in color, with
visible ecchymosis and spots on the tongue body, and varicose and blood stasis in the sublingual veins;
The tongue coating is greasy, and the pulse is smooth, or (or) astringent. Combined with tongue and
pulse, the main symptom is essential, and if the secondary symptom meets two or more criteria, it can
be diagnosed. And it meets the inclusion criteria for this experiment.
3. Methods
3.1 Sample grouping method
Firstly, 60 subjects were coded according to a pre designed sample size, and random numbers were
generated using SPSS 22.0 statistical software through a random number generation algorithm. Based
on the corresp onding random numbers for each subject code, the included subjects were randomly
assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to A: 20 Chinese medicine group, B: 20 integrated Chinese and Western
medicine group, and C: 20 Western medicine group.
3.2 Treatment methods
Trad
itional Chinese Medicine Group: Patients take orally Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang (all
traditional Chinese medicine are decoction, provided by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Decoction
Room of Xi'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital). The dosage of the med ication is 200ml per
bag, and the patient takes one bag after breakfast and one bag after dinner. Medication instructions:
The patient starts taking the medication from the 3rd to 5th day after each menstrual cycle is clean.
They take it continuously for 6 days and rest for 1 day. One treatment cycle lasts for three months.
During this treatment period, patients should not take other medications to treat this disease, and
should also refrain from eating raw, cold, greasy, or irritating foods. If the patient has a cold, stop
taking medication. If the patient becomes pregnant during treatment, discontinue medication
immediately. It is prohibited for those who are allergic to traditional Chinese medicine, and should
be used with caution for those with allergic constitution.
Western medicine group: Administer oral administration of Dafu Tong (Dedroprogesterone
Tablets) Abbott Biologicals B.V . (Netherlands), batch number: 364232. Store below 25 ℃, Starting
from the 5th day of menstruation, take 10mg/dose twice a day for 20 consecutive days. Continuously
treat for 3 menstrual cycles. During the treatment period, it is prohibited to take other drugs with
similar effects.
194
The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine group: Oral administration of
traditional Chinese medicine and the medication method are consistent with those of the traditional
Chinese medicine group. At the same time, starting from the 5th day of menstruation, oral
administration of dexamethasone and progesterone tablets is the same as that of the Western medicine
group.
3.3 Observation indicators and methods
Efficacy observation indicators: Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome score and total effective
rate of clinical efficacy
Laboratory observation indicators: determination of MIF and TGF- β 1 level, and conduct analysis
and comparison to collect venous blood. Using enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),
peripheral blood from the elbow vein was extracted on an empty stomach using coagulation
promoting blood vessels in the early morning. After centrifugation (3500rpm, 10min, 4 ℃), the upper
serum was carefully extracted and stored in a -80 ℃ refrigerator. Sufficient samples were collected
before and after treatment. Operators need to follow MIF and TGF- β

5. Discussion
Although endometriosis is a benign disease, it has the characteristics of cell proliferation,
infiltration and growth, and easy recurrence of malignant behavior. At present, the etiology and
pathogenesis have not been elucidated, and surgical treatment has a high recurrence rate and is prone
to infertility. For EM patients who do not meet surgical indications, medication is usually used to
suppress ovarian function and prevent the development of endometriosis. However, hormone based
drugs have significant side effects and a high recurrence rate in treating EM, as well as symptoms
such as nausea, mild depression, liver and kidney dysfunction, masculinization, amenorrhea, obesity,
and bone loss [8]. Therefore, the treatmen t methods of traditional Chinese medicine provide more
options for EM patients, which can improve clinical efficacy, relieve dysmenorrhea, and pregnancy
rates, as well as reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathological basis of this disease is blood stasis,
which refers to the "blood leaving the meridians" that stops accumulating in the uterus, Chongren,
and obstructs the veins. Due to the obstruction of Chongren, dysmenorrhea can occur due to pain
caused by obstruction; Due to prolonged blood stasis, abnormal body fluid application, continued
growth of phlegm and dampness, and the formation of symptoms due to blood stasis; The visible evil
blocks Chongren and the uterus, and cannot produce sperm and lea d to secondary infertility. The
pathological feature is periodic bleeding caused by changes in ovarian hormones in ectopic lesions,
leading to proliferation and adhesion of surrounding fibrous tissue. Therefore, the main treatment
Method
is to promote bloo d circulation and dissipate blood stasis, supplemented by tonifying the
kidney and tonifying qi, soothing the liver and regulating qi, warming the meridians and dispersing
cold, softening and firming the body to dispel blood stasis, and so on.
Commonly used formulas and medicines include Shaofu Zhuyu Tang, Guizhi Fuling Wan, Yinjia
Wan, etc. Xiao Shan, Zhao Li [9], and others believe that "blood stasis" is the core of endometriosis,
which is both a pathogenic factor, pathogenesis, and pathological product. Fu Youfeng et al. [10]
believe that the main pathogenesis of endometriosis is the deficiency of spleen and kidney, as well as
the combination of dampness, turbidity, stasis, and toxin. Therefore, they established the general
Method
of detoxifying, promoting dampness, and resolving blood stasis to eliminate symptoms. Xie
Dandan, Cao Yang, and others [11] believe that endometriosis mostly belongs to the type of qi
stagnation and blood stasis, and advocate promoting the circulation of qi to relieve pain, promoting
196
blood circulation and resolving blood stasis. Yang Dongxia, Wang Ning, et al. [12] treated
endometriosis based on the theory of dampness, heat, and stasis, with the treatment of clearing heat,
promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, and relieving pain. Guan Lil an and Zhou Ying
[13] applied the method of warming yang and dispersing nodules to treat endometriosis of the type of
"yang deficiency and yin nodules", and clinically used Lizhong Tang, Guizhi Fuling Wan, and
Xiaoluo Wan. Professor You Zhaoling believes t hat "blood stasis" is the pathological basis of
endometriosis, and "stasis, deficiency, and phlegm" are the characteristics of its pathogenesis. She
proposed a treatment method of "tonifying and tonifying qi, promoting blood circulation to remove
stasis, and softening and dispersing nodules". For those with fertility requirements, treatment should
be combined with different therapies of the menstrual cycle [14]. Zhao Xiaoxuan, Zhang Yang, and
others [15] explained the mechanism of dysmenorrhea in patients w ith endometriosis from the
perspective of "all pain and itching ulcers belong to the heart", emphasizing the importance of
psychological factors, and providing new ideas for the treatment of endometriosis dysmenorrhea
patients.
Professor Zhang Xiaofeng, the mentor, believes that the clinical manifestation of EM patients with
ectopic endometrium, stimulated by hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle, is called "menstrual
blood stasis", which is caused by the shedding of ectopic endometrium. If there is a portion of blood
stasis, there will be a portion of latent heat. If the blood stasis persists for a long time, it will
accumulate into poison, which is called "stasis toxin"; Blood stasis does not dissipate, turning into
"evil blood" and "turbid fluid", which then affects the application of body fluid, causing loss of water
metabolism and forming "dampness toxin"; Blood stasis, toxin, dampness, and heat are intertwined,
causing a lack of smooth qi flow, a lack of clear qi, a lack of turbidity, and internal obs truction of
dampness and turbidity. This is called "turbid toxin". The etiology and pathogenesis of the disease
are "stasis, turbidity, and dampness toxin intertwined", and the characteristic of the disease is "when
the toxin is present".
Therefore, the m ethod of removing blood stasis and eliminating symptoms, detoxifying and
turbidity was established, and a self-formulated decoction for removing blood stasis, detoxifying and
eliminating symptoms was developed. The three drugs in Quyu Jiedu Tang, including Chicken Blood
Vine, Hedyotis
diffusa, and edible tulip, have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting
dampness and turbidity; Frankincense, myrrh, and dragon's blood can have the effect of promoting
blood circulation, dispersing blood stasi s, and alleviating pain; Insects are good at moving and
channeling, used to detoxify centipedes, disperse knots, and clear collaterals to relieve pain; Huoxiang
and Coix seed are fragrant and turbid, have light penetration and dampness removal, can also detoxify,
and strengthen the spleen and stomach; Calcined corrugated, lychee kernels eliminate symptoms,
soften and disperse knots, promote qi circulation and relieve pain; Astragalus membranaceus can
nourish qi and nourish the body, and promote detoxificatio n to go out; Roasted licorice is used to
blend various herbs, while the other is to relieve pain and detoxify slowly. Patients taking Quyu Jiedu
Xiaozheng Tang can comprehensively and multi-level dissolve and eliminate evil toxins in the body,
enabling faster elimination of evil toxins.
Moreover, modern pharmacological research has shown that the active ingredients extracted from
Caulis spatholobi can inhibit the occurrence of inflammatory reactions [16] and regulate a series of
biological processes, acting on the treatment of endometriosis through the "active ingredient target
pathway" [17]. The aqueous extract of Hedyotis diffusa can reduce the levels of IL-6 and TNF-a factors
in serum to achieve anti -inflammatory and analgesic effects [18]. This drug can also synergistically
regulate endometriosis with multiple components, targets, and pathways [19]. Shancigu can inhibit
tumor cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and neovascularization, promote cancer cell apoptosis,
and regulate the body's immune system [20]. The effective ingredients of frankincense and myrrh have
clear anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects [21,22]. The flavonoid compounds in dragon's blood not
197
only reduce inflammation and pain, but also inhibit transforming growth factor (TGF) - β 1) High
expression of [23]; The active ingredients of centipede may have anti -inflammatory and analgesic
effects by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins [24,25]; Litchi seed has good anti -cancer activity,
such as prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc. [26].
According to incomplete clinical statistics, Quyu Jiedu Xiaozheng Tang has a good therapeutic
effect on endometriosis. And through experimental research, it has been shown that the serum MIF
and TGF of patients after treatment - β the level of 1 has decreased. Serum MIF is a key pro -
inflammatory cytokine secreted by active macrophages accumulated in the endometrium of ectopic
tissues. It undergoes gene expression during the secretion phase of the menstrual cycle [27], and when
it reaches a high expression level, it may promote the development of endometriosis through
angiogenesis [28]. Other studies have shown that serum MIF levels are higher in women with
endometriosis caused by infertility and chronic pelvic pain [29]; Serum MIF can also activate multiple
signaling pathways, promoting cell proliferation, adhesion, metastasis, neovascularization, epithelial
mesenchymal transition, and enhancing immunosuppression in gynecological malignancies such as
cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. [30]. Serum TGF in the human body- β
By
inducing anaerobic glycolysis and lactate secretion in endometrial stromal cells, the expression of
monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) is increased, further affecting endometriosis [31].
There are also studies indicating that serum TGF in the human body- β 1. It may be involved in
the occurrence and development of endometriosis, and is related to the severity of dysmenorrhea in
patients with endometriosis [32]; Serum TGF in the human body- β. It is also related to osteoporosis
and breast cancer [33,34]. So the serum MIF and TGF- β the high expression of 1 in the human body,
is closely related to the occurrence and development of endometriosis. Therefore reducing serum MIF
and TGF - β a level of 1 through treatment ,is more conducive to the treatment of endometriosis
and the prevention of complications or other diseases.
