Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
After 48 weeks of Henggeleijing treatment, FIB-4 index valuesFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Four indicators of liver fibrosis after 48 weeks of Henggelijing treatmentFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeksFIB-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
Improvement rate of FIB-4 index (FIB-4 index improvement defined as a decrease of ≥ 10% from baseline) after 48 weeks of treatment with HenggeleijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
Changes in visceral fat content compared to baseline after 48 weeks of treatment with HenggelijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeksUsing DUAL bioimpedance method to identify adipose tissue and subcutaneous fat, and safely and conveniently calculate visceral fat area
The results of glycated hemoglobin after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of Henggeleijing treatmentFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks

After 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with Henggeleijing, changes in liver enzyme indicators (including AST, ALT, GGT) compared to baseline were observedFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
Changes in C-peptide levels compared to baseline after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment with HenggelijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
Changes in fasting insulin levels compared to baseline after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment with HenggelijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
Changes in HOMA-IR index compared to baseline after 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment with HenggeleijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
Changes in fasting body weight compared to baseline after 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with HenggeleijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
Blood pressure changes compared to baseline after 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with HenggeleijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
Changes in blood lipid profile (including LDL-C, TG, HDL, TC) compared to baseline after 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment with HenggeleijingFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
FIB-4 index after 12,and 24 weeks of Henggeleijing treatmentFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 24 weeks
After 48 weeks of Henggeleijing treatment, the fat content of the endocardial fat padFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeksCardiac ultrasound detection of fat content in endocardial fat pad
