Objective: To evaluate the curative effect of ulcerative colitis treated by mesalazine combined with Tripterygium hypoglaucum Hutchins. Methods: 40 patients with moderate and severe ulcerative colitis were divided into 2 groups randomly. A group is control group,20 patients, mesalazine was given orally as 4g/d, four times a day; B group is experimental group, 20 patients, mesalazine was given orally as 4g/d, four times a day, combined with Tripterygium hypoglaucum Hutchins given orally as 0.9g/d, three times a day for 8 weeks.Results: The remission rates of experimental group and control group were 85 % and 65 % respectively. The difference was significant (P < 0.05) . There is no marked difference on bad raction between both groups(P >0.05).Conclusion:the effect of mesalazine combined with Tripterygium hypoglaucum Hutchins was higher than that of mesalazine alone for the patients with moderate and severe ulcerative colitis and long- term therapeutic effect was very good. |
