Acute Enteritis, in most cases is defined as a condition of
inflammation of the small intestine as a result of eating and drinking
contaminated water and foods infected by virus and bacteria. But
according to the study by the University Hospital Aintree, chronic
radiation enteritis
is an increasing problem, as more patients receive radiotherapy as part
of their cancer therapy and as the long-term survival of these patients
improves(a). Other study indicated that acute radiation enteritis
is almost inevitable in the curative treatment of malignant tumors of
the abdomen and pelvic area. It is frequently a self-limiting disorder
of intestinal function associated with reversible mucosal changes of the
intestine(b). The prevalence of the disease although is decreasing, it
still affects millions (approx 1 in 83 or 1.20% or 3.3 million people
in USA ) of people in the U.S alone, according to the statistic. Chronic enteritis is a condition of inflammation caused by other health conditions, such as Crohn's or celiac disease.
In traditonal Chinese medicine perspective
1. Qiwei baizhu powder
Sixty cases of rotaviral enteritis
treated with Qiwei Baizhu Powder (QWBZP) revealed a better efficacy than
that treated with Oral Rehydration solution (ORS, chi 2 = 6.07, P <
0.05), according to the study by the Hunan Academy of Traditional
Chinese Medicine(54).
2. Jiechang Mixture (JCM)
In the study to evaluate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Jiechang Mixture (JCM) in treating infantile mycotic enteritis,
showed that the time of stool forming, diarrhea relieving and fungi
vanishing in the treated group were significantly shorter than those in
the control group (P < 0.01), and JCM also showed a better effect in
improving clinical symptoms and signs of patients than the control.
Results of experimental study showed that JCM could abate the ink
evacuation of small intestine in mice. The fungi inhibitory test
suggested that Candida albicans was susceptible to JCM(55).
3. Zhixie buye mixture
In the study to observe the therapeutic effect
of Zhixie Buye mixture (ZXBYM) on infantile diarrhea patient with mild
and middle degree of dehydration, indicated that the ZXBYM is an
effective mixture in the treatment of diarrhea with dehydration. It has a
good prospect of development and application(56).
4. Fu-zheng qu-xie
In the study of the of fu-zheng qu-xie on
gastric disease infected with Campylobacter pyloridis] by Jiangsu
Provincial Hospital of TCM, pointed out
that the principle of Chinese herbal medicine treatment of gastric
disease by campylobacter pyloridis was fu-zheng qu-xie. Fu-zheng was
achieved by Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala and
Paeonia lactiflora, whereas qu-xie by Taraxacum monogolicum and
Oldenlandia diffusa. Chinese herbal medicine for fu-zheng played an
important role in modulating immune function. Qu-xie was directly
disinfective and indirectly anti-bacterial. Chinese herbal medicine
combined with western drugs will decrease the side effects and enhance
the curative effect at the same time(57).
