Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of Jianpi Huaji Fuzheng Decoction supplemented with conventional chemotherapy on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes scores, cellular immunity and coagulation-fibrinolysis function in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma of spleen-deficiency syndrome.Methods:Prospective cohort study. A total of 85 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma of spleen-deficiency syndrome who met the inclusion criteria in the hospital between March 2018 and March 2021 were divided into 42 cases in control group and 43 cases in observation group according to the random number table method. The control group was given conventional western medicine chemotherapy, and the observation group was given Jianpi Huaji Fuzheng Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 3 months. Before and after treatment, the TCM syndromes were scored. The levels of CD4 + and CD8 + were detected by flow cytometry with indirect immunofluorescence, and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + was calculated. The plasma prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen (Fg) and coagulation factor Ⅶ (CFⅦ) were detected by automatic blood coagulation analyzer. The toxic and side effects of chemotherapy during treatment were recorded and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate of syndrome efficacy was 95.35% (41/43) in observation group and 78.57% (33/42) in control group ( χ2=3.92, P=0.047). After treatment, the scores of flank pain, lumps, fatigue and jaundice and total score in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=2.60, 2.64, 2.85, 2.91, 3.79, P<0.01). The level of CD4 + [(37.68±3.72)% vs. (35.92±3.61)%, t=2.21] and CD4 +/CD8 + [(1.44±0.22) vs. (1.31±0.23), t=2.66] in observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05), while the level of CD8 + [(26.20±2.72)% vs. (27.44±2.16)%, t=2.32] was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The levels of Fg [(3.11±0.85) g/L vs. (2.74±0.72) g/L, t=2.16] and CFⅦ [(1.76±0.44) mg/L vs. (1.58±0.37) mg/L, t=2.04] were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). PT [(14.65±2.72) s vs. (15.91±3.03) s, t=2.02] was significantly shorter than that of the control group ( P<0.05). During treatment, the incidence rate of toxic and side effects of chemotherapy was 11.63% (5/43) in observation group and that in control group was 30.95% (13/42) ( χ2=4.75, P=0.029). Conclusion:Jianpi Huaji Fuzheng Decoction supplemented with conventional chemotherapy can improve the clinical symptoms, promote the recovery of cellular immune function and coagulation-fibrinolysis function, reduce the incidence rates of toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, and enhance the clinical efficacy of patients with primary hepatic carcinoma.
