    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of Tiaoli Piwei needling technique (acupuncture for regulating spleen and stomach) on diabetic gastroparesis (DGP), and to explore its possible mechanism. METHODS: A total of 128 patients with DGP were randomized into an observation group (64 cases, 4 cases dropped off) and a control group (64 cases, 4 cases dropped off). On the basis of intervention on controlling blood glucose by western medication, Tiaoli Piwei needling technique was adopted at Zhongwan (CV 12), Zusanli (ST 36), Yinlingquan (SP 9), Xuehai (SP 10), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Diji (SP 8), etc. in the observation group, once a day. Mosapride citrate dispersible tablet 5 mg was given orally 3 times a day in the control group. The treatment was given 6 times a week in the both groups, and totally 4-week treatment was required. Before and after treatment, the DGP symptom score, serum content of transmembrane protein 16A (ANO1) were observed, and the clinical therapeutic effect and the safety were evaluated in the both groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the each subitem score (belching, abdominal distension, inappetence, nausea and vomiting, epigastric pain, abnormal defecation) and the total score of DGP symptom were decreased in both groups (P<0.05), the subitem scores of belching, abdominal distension, inappetence, nausea and vomiting and the total score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum contents of transmembrane protein 16A were reduced in both groups (P<0.05), and that in the observation group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 86.7% (52/60) in the observation group, which was superior to 70.0% (42/60) in the control group (P<0.05). Subcutaneous hematoma occurred in 5 cases in the observation group, which was improved after cold compress without other particular intervention. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effect of Tiaoli Piwei needling technique on improving symptoms in patients with diabetic gastroparesis is superior to mosapride citrate dispersible tablet, its mechanism may be related to alleviating the damage of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC).
