Abstract
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Biling Weitong Granules combined with oryz-aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets on patients with reflux esophagitis with functional dyspepsia. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with reflux esophagitis with functional dyspepsia who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University between June 2020 and June 2023 were selected and divided into two groups: the control group and the observation group, each consisting of 30 cases. The control group received oryz-aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets only, while the observation group received Biling Weitong Granules in addition to the tablets. The clinical efficacy, Chinese medicine syndrome points, esophageal kinetic indexes, gastrointestinal hormone levels, and therapeutic safety of both groups were evaluated. Results: The total efficiency of the observation group reached 93.33%, significantly higher than the 73.33% of the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, patients in the observation group exhibited significantly lower scores for Chinese medicine symptoms such as early satiety, belching, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the observation group showed significantly higher upper esophageal sphincter pressure, lower esophageal sphincter pressure, and distal esophageal contraction scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, levels of gastric motility hormone, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and gastrin were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Throughout the treatment period, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups, indicating comparable safety of the two treatment modalities (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of Biling Weitong Granules with oryz-aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets demonstrates significant efficacy in the treatment of reflux esophagitis with functional dyspepsia, with a better safety profile. This finding warrants further clinical promotion.
