Abstract:
Objective:To observe the rehabilitation effect of modified Guipitang administration combined with traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） hot pressing in patients with deficiency of Qi and blood syndrome breast cancer postoperative， and investigate its effect on immune function and tumor markers. Method:One hundred and fifty-four patients were divided into observation group （77 cases） and control group （77 cases） by random number table. Two groups were given comprehensive treatment measures after operation. Patients in control group additionally took Bazhen granules orally， 8 g/time， 2 times/day， for eight weeks. Patients in observation group additionally took Guipitang orally for syndrome differentiation， 1 dose/day for eight weeks. The chest， shoulders and upper limbs of the affected side were hot-pressed with TCM， 20 min/time， 2 times/ day， 5 days a week， the first 4 weeks. The occurrence of lymphedema， subcutaneous fluid， poor skin flap growth， sleep disturbance， shoulder joint dysfunction， etc. Were recorded in both groups. Before and after treatment， the scores of European organization for research and treatment of cancer quality of life questionnaire core-30（EORTC QLQ-30）， and scores of cancer-induced fatigue and Qi and blood deficiency were graded. T lymphocyte subsets （CD3+， CD4+， CD8+ levels and CD4+/CD8+）， regulatory T cells （Treg）， inhibitory T cells （Ts）， cytotoxic T cells （Tc）， human growth differentiation factor 3 （GDF3）， serum carbohydrate antigen 153 （CA153）， carcinoembryonic antigen （CEA） and human epidermal growth factor -2 （HER-2） levels were detected before and after treatment. Result:After treatment， the observation group incidence of lymphedema， subcutaneous effusion， poor skin flap growth， sleep disturbance and shoulder joint dysfunction was 8（10.39%）， 9（11.69%）， 11（14.29%）， 25（32.47%） and 8 （10.39%） respectively in the observation group， all lower than 18（23.38%）， 20（25.97%）， 23（29.87%）， 46（59.74%） and 19（24.68%） in the control group（P<0.05， P<0.01）. The scores of overall quality of life and function scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.01）， hile symptom score was lower than that in the control group （P<0.01）. The scores of cancer-induced fatigue deficiency of Qi and blood syndrome in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.01）. The Tc， CD3+， CD4+， CD4+/CD8+ levels in the observation group were higher than those of the control group （P<0.01）， while the Treg， Ts， CD8+ levels were lower than those in the control group （P<0.01）. The GDF3， CA153， CEA， HER-2 levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.01）. Conclusion:On the basis of conventional comprehensive interventions of western medicine， Guipitang combined with TCM hot pressing for breast cancer patients after surgery can reduce postoperative complications， reduce fatigue， postoperative symptoms and TCM syndromes. Besides， it can enhance the immune function of the body， improve the quality of life， promote postoperative recovery， and inhibit the expression of tumor markers， thus improving the prognosis of patients.
