Abstract:
Objective:To explore the efficacy of Qingjin Huatan Decoction combined with conventional Western medicine for the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Totally 90 hospitalized patients with AECOPD phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome in the respiratory department of Shunyi Hospital, Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the observation subjects. According to the simplified randomization method (single-double number method), the patients were divided into two groups, with 45 cases in each group. The conventional Western medicine group was given conventional Western medicine treatment, and the combined Chinese materia medica group was given Qingjin Huatan Decoction on the basis of the conventional Western medicine group. The treatment for both groups lasted for 7 d. TCM symptoms were scored before and after treatment; FEV 1 and FVC were detected by pulmonary function analyzer, PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 were detected by blood gas biochemical analyzer, CRP and PCT were detected by ELISA, and white blood cell count (WBC) was detected by automatic blood cell analyzer. Adverse reactions were recorded, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate was 93.33% (42/45) in the combined Chinese materia medica group and 77.78% (35/45) in the conventional Western medicine group, with statistical significance ( χ2=4.41, P=0.036). After treatment, the scores of cough, wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath and fever and the total score in the combined Chinese materia medica group were lower than those in the conventional Western medicine group ( t=4.83, 2.26, 5.36, 10.43, 5.27,respectively, P<0.01 or P<0.05); the levels of FEV 1 and FVC in the combined Chinese materia medica group were higher than those in the conventional Western medicine group ( t=3.03, 2.64, respectively, P<0.01); the levels of PaO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2 in the combined Chinese materia medica group were higher than those in the conventional Western medicine group ( t=4.83, 5.36, P<0.01), while the level of PaCO 2 in the combined Chinese materia medica group was lower than that in the conventional Western medicine group ( t=2.26, P<0.05); the levels of CRP, PCT and WBC in the combined Chinese materia medica group were lower than those in the conventional western medicine group ( t=10.53, 11.29 and 2.59, respectively, P<0.01 or P<0.05). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 6.67% (3/45) in the combined Chinese materia medica and 8.89% (4/45) in the conventional Western medicine group, without statistical significance ( χ2=0.16, P=0.694). Conclusion:Qingjin Huatan Decoction can effectively improve the lung function and blood gas indicators of AECOPD with phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome, and relieve the inflammation, with safety and effectiveness.
