Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the time of aerosol inhalation using Budesonide Suspension and Mucosolvan drived by oxygen on prevention of pharyngeal and oral mucosa damage induced by radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHODS All 108 cases with NPC were divided into 4 groups, each group 27 cases. In 3 treatment groups,aerosol inhalation using Budesonide Suspension and Mucosolvan drived by oxygen were began at the initial , after 5 times, after 10 times radiotherapy respectively. In control group, aerosol inhalation was not used. The rates of third degree of pharyngeal and oral mucosa injury during different dose of radiotherapy were compared among the 4 groups. RESULTS At the dose below 30 Gy, there were no case of third degree of pharyngeal and oral mucosa injury occurred in 3 treatment groups, one case in control group. At the dose of 30 to 40 Gy, third degree injury occurred in all groups, there was no statistical difference among the 4 groups. At the dose over 40 Gy, the patients of third degree injury in group 1 and 2 were less than that in control group. There was no difference between group 3 and control group. CONCLUSION The right time of aerosol inhalation using Budesonide Suspension and Mucosolvan drived by oxygen for prevention of pharyngeal and oral mucosa complication induced by radiotherapy in NPC is at 5 to 10 times after radiotherapy.
