Summary

This study will enroll 60 patients with mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis as subjects.

The modified Mayo Activity Index will be used as the main evaluation index. Secondary evaluation indices will include the Underwater Endoscopic Severity Index (UCEIS) score, endoscopic Baron score, mucosal histological score (Geboes index), Chinese medicine syndrome efficacy evaluation, quality of life score, physicochemical indicators reflecting disease activity or remission, intestinal microbiota indicators, and changes in inflammation and immune-related indicators in colonoscopy biopsy tissues. Safety indicators were also monitored.
