Treatment and study plan

Addition of Hengge Liejing treatment for 48 weeks

Drug

Treatment with Hengge Liejing for 48 weeks, drug formulation: tablets. Dosage: 10mg qd, taken orally in the morning, before or after breakfast, for 48 consecutive weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. After 48 weeks of Henggeleijing treatment, FIB-4 index values

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Four indicators of liver fibrosis after 48 weeks of Henggelijing treatment

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks"

    FIB-4 index is a non-invasive liver fibrosis assessment tool based on blood indicators and age, mainly used to evaluate the risk of liver fibrosis progression in patients with chronic liver disease. Calculation formula: FIB-4=(age x AST)/(platelet count x √ ALT). When calculating, please note that the units of AST and ALT should be U/L, and the unit of platelet count should be 10 ^ 9/L。 When FIB-4<1.3, it indicates no significant liver fibrosis When 1.3 ≤ FIB-4 ≤ 3.25, there may be moderate liver fibrosis When FIB-4>3.25, there is a high suspicion of advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis

  2. Improvement rate of FIB-4 index (FIB-4 index improvement defined as a decrease of ≥ 10% from baseline) after 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks"

  3. Changes in visceral fat content compared to baseline after 48 weeks of treatment with Henggelijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

    Using DUAL bioimpedance method to identify adipose tissue and subcutaneous fat, and safely and conveniently calculate visceral fat area

  4. The results of glycated hemoglobin after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of Henggeleijing treatment

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  5. The proportion of HbA1c<7% and HbA1c<6.5% after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  6. Changes in fasting plasma glucose levels compared to baseline after 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  7. After 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing, changes in liver enzyme indicators (including AST, ALT, GGT) compared to baseline were observed

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  8. After 48 weeks of Henggeleijing treatment, the fat content of the endocardial fat pad

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

    Cardiac ultrasound detection of fat content in endocardial fat pad

  9. Changes in C-peptide levels compared to baseline after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggelijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  10. Changes in fasting insulin levels compared to baseline after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggelijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  11. Changes in HOMA-IR index compared to baseline after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  12. Changes in fasting body weight compared to baseline after 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  13. Blood pressure changes compared to baseline after 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  14. Changes in blood lipid profile (including LDL-C, TG, HDL, TC) compared to baseline after 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

  15. FIB-4 index after 12,and 24 weeks of Henggeleijing treatment

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 24 weeks

Other outcomes
