Abstract:
Objeetive To investigate the clinical efficacy of treating stomach cance belonging to spleen and stomach deficient cold type with self-designed formula and chemotherapy.Methods 100 patients of stomach cancer belonging to stomach and spleen deficient cold were randomly grouped into a control group and a treatment group,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was only treated with chemotherapy,and the treatment group was additionally treated with self-designed Chinese formula on the basis of the control group.After 3 months' treatment,the curative effect,the improvement of life quality,the changes of body weight,the improvement of peripheral blood and immune function,and the occurrence of adverse reaction were observed.The survival rate of patients after 1,3 and 5 years' treatment was investigated.Results ① Short term curative effect:the total effectiveness of the control group and the treatment group was 60.0％ (30/50) and 30.0％ (15/50) respectively,with the treatment group being better than the control group(Z=-2.100,P＜0.05);② life quality:theimprovement rate of life quality in the treatment group and the control group was 64.0％ (32/50) and 20.0％ (10/50) respectively,with the treatment group being better than the control group (Z=-3.259,P＜0.05); ③ body weight:the improvement rate of body weight in the treatment group and the control group was 24.0％ and 16.0％ respectively,and there was no significant difference (Z=-1.815,P＞0.05) ; ④ peripheral blood:the peripheral blood abnormality rates of treatment group was obviously lower than the control group (Z=-4.286,P＜0.05) ;⑤ immune function changes:CD4+、CD8+、and the activity of NK cell of two groups after the treatment [the treatment group was (40.8 ± 4.1)％,(26.1-3.2)％,(83.57-2.52)％ respectively; the control group was (31.7±2.9)％、(33.8±3.0)％、(92.88±3.83)％ respectively] wasobviously improved compared with the same group before the treatment [the treatment group was (34.2±3.5)％,(31.0±2.0)％,(85.01±2.92)％ respectively; the control group was (34.0±3.2)％,(30.9±2.2)％,(85.02± 3.48) ％ respectively].The immune indexes (CD4+、CD8++、CD4+/CDg+and the activity of NK cell)in the treatment group presented significant difference (P＜0.01) than the control group after the treatment.⑥adverse reaction:compared with the control group,the occurrence rate of adverse reaction of the treatment group was obviously lower than the control group,and there was significant difference (Z=-5.297,P＜0.05).⑦survival rate:the survival rate of patients after 1,3 and 5 years' treatment in the treatment group was better than the control group,and there was significant difference (x2=5.263,12.96,7.895,P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of self-designed Chinese formula and chemotherapy could effectively relieve the clinical symptoms,improve the immunity,reduce the occurrence of adverse reaction,and improve the life quality of patients with stomach cancer belonging to stomach and spleen deficient cold type.
