Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Qingfei-Jiedu decoction in the treatment of Acne. Methods A total of 93 female patients with acne were randomly divided into 3 groups according to random number table, 31 in each group. The observation group took the oral Qingfei-Jiedu decoction, and the Chinese medicine control group took the oral tanshinone capsule, and the western medicine control group took the oral acetic acid ring propyl alcohol progesterone. All 3 groups were treated for 4 weeks. The levels of serum dihydro (DHT), IL-6 and IL-8 were measured by ELISA. The changes of the lesions before and after treatment were observed and the adverse events were recorded during the treatment. The clinical effect was evaluated. Results After treatment, the serum DHT (56.94 ± 15.74 pg/ml vs. 74.48 ± 18.53 pg/ml, t=2.089), IL-6 (22.84 ± 11.77 pg/ml vs. 30.37 ± 14.50 pg/ml, t=2.135), IL-8 (22.64 ± 7.38 pg/ml vs. 29.54 ± 9.65 pg/ml, t=2.057) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the Chinese medicine control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the disappearance rate of skin lesions (65.4% ± 15.0% vs. 44.7% ± 12.9%, 42.7% ± 13.6%, F=6.862) and comprehensive syndrome effective rate (57.2% ± 12.6% vs. 46.3% ± 12.8%, 44.8% ± 11.7%, F=5.322) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the other two control groups (P<0.05). The observation group and the traditional Chinese medicine control group did not have adverse events, but the western medicine control group showed one case nausea. Conclusions The Qingfei-Jiedu decoction can reduce the level of serum DHT, IL-6 and IL-8 in female patients with acne vulgaris, and improve the skin lesion disappearance rates and comprehensive syndrome rates.
