Abstract:
Objective To explore effect of Wenyang Qudu formula on serum inflammatory factors and immune index in patients with severe infections.Methods A total of 86 severe infection patients admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Henan Province from January to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects.According to the patient file order,odd numbers were the study group,and even numbers were the control group,with 43 cases in each group.The control group was treated with cefoperazone sulbactam sodium,while the study group was treated with Wenyang Qudu formula in addition to the control group[drug composition:Prepared aconite(first decocted)30 g,Poria cocos 30 g,White peony 15 g,Red peony 15 g,Stir fried atractylodes macrocephala 30 g,Dried ginger 9 g,Roasted licorice 9 g,Cassia twig 15 g,Semen lepidii 15 g,Dragon's bone 15 g,Raw oyster 15 g,Codonopsis pilosula 12 g,Angelica sinensis 12 g,Asarum 3 g,Schisandra chinensis 6 g,and Jujube 12 g].Brew in water,and took one dose daily,once in the morning and once in the evening,for a continuous period of 7 days.The differences in the scores of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms such as fever,dyspnea,frequent urination,urgency,and degree of sputum production,serum levels of interleukin-10(IL-10),C-reactive protein(CRP),eosinophils(EOS),and immune function indicators[immunoglobulin E(IgE),CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+]were compared between two groups after treatment,and observed the occurrence of adverse reactions.Results After treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores(fever,dyspnea,frequent urination and urgency,degree of sputum production),as well as IL-10,CRP,EOS levels,IgE,and CD8+ were significantly reduced in both groups compared to before treatment,CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+ were significantly increased compared to before treatment.In addition,the study group had significantly lower scores of fever,dyspnea,frequent urination and urgency,degree of sputum production,IL-10,CRP,EOS levels,IgE,and CD8+ compared to the control group(fever score:1.36±0.30 vs.2.57±0.46,dyspnea score:1.22±0.31 vs.2.26±0.75,urinary frequency and urgency score:1.30±0.39 vs.2.33±0.82,degree of sputum production:1.19±0.77 vs.2.51±0.85,IL-10(ng/L):9.03±1.67 vs.10.51±2.40,CRP(mg/L):4.68±1.33 vs.7.82±2.53,EOS(×109/L):0.30±0.04 vs.0.46±0.10,IgE(mg/L):104.62±10.73 vs.135.68±14.64,CD8+:0.228±0.016 vs.0.258±0.020,all P<0.05],the levels of CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+ were significantly higher than those in the control group(CD3+:0.636±0.044 vs.0.567±0.055,CD4+:0.537±0.054 vs.0.397±0.045,CD4+/CD8+:1.76±0.51 vs.0.55±0.39,all P<0.05].After treatment,it was discovered that the study group had not experienced any adverse reactions,while the control group had 1 case of nausea and vomiting and 1 case of chest tightness.There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the study group and the control group[0(0/43)vs.0.05%(2/43),P>0.05].Conclusion The Wenyang Qudu formula can reduce the serum factor levels of IL-10,CRP,and EOS in critically infected patients,and improve immune function with good safety.
