Abstract:
Objective:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a significant global public health issue.Modern medical treatments have both benefits and limitations,prompting increasing attention from scholars worldwide on traditional ethnic medicine,and the Zangsiwei Qingfei Mixture is a newly developed formula derived from the effective components of classical Tibetan medicine to treat chronic respiratory diseases.This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the Zangsiwei Qingfei Mixture combined with conventional treatment in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Methods:Sixty AECOPD patients admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from May 2021 to May 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups,with 30 patients in each group.The control group received conventional treatment,including bronchodilators,anti-infection agents,expectorants,and oxygen therapy.The experimental group received the Zangsiwei Qingfei Mixture in addition to conventional treatment.The treatment duration was 7 d for both groups.Baseline data such as gender,age,body mass index(BMI),smoking status,Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease(GOLD)classification,COPD course,and the number of COPD exacerbations in the past year were collected.The primary efficacy indicators were assessed using the modified Medical Research Council(mMRC)dyspnea scale and the modified Borg scale.Secondary indicators included arterial lactic acid(LAC)and serum tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)levels.Safety indicators included liver and kidney function[alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartate transaminase(AST),serum creatinine(SCr),serum uric acid(SUA)],coagulation function[activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT),fibrinogen(FIB),and D-dimer].The generalized linear mixed model(GLMM)was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the Zangsiwei Qingfei Mixture. Results:Before treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in general baseline data,grading of mMRC dyspnea scale,score of modified Borg scale,arterial LAC,ALT,AST,SCr,SUA,APTT,FIB,and D-dimer between the 2 groups(all P＞0.05).However,serum TNF-α and PT levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(both P＜0.05).GLMM analysis showed that after adjusting for pre-and post-treatment,gender,age,BMI,smoking status,GOLD classification,COPD course,and the number of COPD exacerbations in the past year,the experimental group demonstrated significantly lower grading of mMRC dyspnea scale(coefficient=-0.329,P=0.036),score of modified Borg scale(coefficient=-1.077,P=0.001),serum TNF-α level(coefficient=-14.378,P＜0.001),and arterial LAC level(coefficient=-0.409,P=0.012)compared to the control group.The Zangsiwei Qingfei Mixture had no significant effect on liver,kidney,or coagulation function indicators(all P＞0.05). Conclusion:The Zangsiwei Qingfei Mixture combined with conventional treatment can improve clinical symptoms and promote homeostasis in AECOPD patients,demonstrating safety and reliability.Combining modem medicine with traditional ethnic medicine offers a feasible approach to treating chronic respiratory diseases in the future.
