OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effect and mechanism of retention enema with quick-acting Kuijie powder (QAKJP) in treating chronic non-specific ulcerative colitis (CUC). METHODS: A treatment group of 156 patients treated with QAKJP and a control group of 78 patients treated with sulfasalazine orally were established randomly and their scores of main symptoms and signs were measured and compared before and after treatment. Animal experiments were conducted at the same time. RESULTS: The total effective rate in the treatment and the control group was 98.7% and 70.5% respectively, the clinical cure rate was 78.2% and 6.4% and the recurrence rate was 5.3% and 20.0% respectively. The effect of the treatment group was markedly superior to that of the control group, P < 0.01. Experimental study showed QAKJP could rapidly alleviate the congestion and edema of intestinal mucosa, promote the healing of ulcer, inhibit spasm of colon and had significant antidiarrheal action and antagonist effect against allergic mediator histamine. CONCLUSION: Retention enema with QAKJP has good effect on CUC, low recurrence rate and no toxic and side effect.
