Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effects of treating osteonecrosis of femoral head(ONFH) by stages with self designed Chinese medicine formula. Methods 106 ONFH patients in Shantou municipal TCM hospital from July 2010 to July 2013 were recruited and divided randomly into a control group and a treatment group, 53 patients in each. The treatment group was treated with self-designed Chinese medicine formula with the functions of strengthening spleen and promoting blood circulation in the early stage, and self-designed Chinese medicine formula with the functions of supplementing kidney and promoting blood circulation in the middle stage of disease, one dosage daily. The control group was treated with Xianliang Gubao capsule (3 granules per time, twice daily) and lovastatin capsule (10-20 mg per time). Both groups were treated for two therapeutic courses of 8-12 weeks. X-ray and hemorheology indexes were observed after the treatment. Results The total effects was 90.6%(48/53) and 73.6%(39/53) in the treatment group and the control group respectively, with significant difference(χ2=6.731,P<0.05);Whole blood viscosity, PV, HCT, Arbe, ESR, FIB were obviously improved in the treatment group after the treatment, [after the treatment: whole blood viscosity high cut(3.42±0.72)mPa?S, middle cut(4.21±0.30)mPa?S, low cut(8.36±0.12)mPa?S, PV(1.39±0.16)mPa?S, HCT(38.34±2.37)%, Arbe(5.47±0.33), ESR(27.35±2.16)mm/h, FIB(3.83±0.47)g/L], [before the treatment:whole blood viscosity high cut(3.97±0.21)mPa?S, middle cut (4.71±0.24)mPa?S, low cut (9.58±0.31)mPa?S, PV(2.01±0.13)mPa?S, HCT(41.29±1.01)%, Arbe(6.51±0.21),ESR(14.62±0.92)mm/h, FIB(4.94±0.26)g/L, P<0.05]. After the treatment, the treatment group was obviously improved in such indexes as whole blood viscosity high cut(3.76±0.08)mPa?S, middle cut(4.47±0.16)mPa?S, low cut (8.99±0.07)mPa?S, PV(1.72±0.14)mPa?S, HCT(40.46±1.06)%, Arbe(6.11±0.38), ESR(24.98±1.42)mm/h and FIB(4.33±0.57)g/L than the control group(P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusion Self-designed Chinese medicine formula stage-therapy had better results in treating ONFH than Xianling Gubao capsule and lovastatin.
