ABSTRACT
Objective::To observe the clinical efficacy of Dahuang Zhuyu decoction for oral administration and enema on severe acute pancreatitis with syndromes of blood stasis and toxin and its effect on serum inflammatory factors. Method::Sixty eight patients with severe acute pancreatitis with syndromes of blood stasis and toxin who were admitted in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from September 2017 to December 2018 were randomly divided into treatment group (34 cases) and control group (34 cases). The control group was treated with western medicine. The treatment group was treated with Dahuang Zhuyu decoction for oral administattion and enema in addition to the therapy of the control group. Both groups were treated for 7 days. Before and after treatment, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea and vomiting were scored separately, serum amylase (AMS), lipase (LPS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected, and abdominal pain disappearance time, bloating disappearance time and exhaust recovery time were recorded. Result::After treatment, the abdominal pain score, abdominal distension score, nausea and vomiting score, serum AMS, LPS, IL-6 and TNF-α were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and those in treatment group was lower than those in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, IL-10 level in both groups was higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and that in treatment group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The disappearance time of abdominal pain, the disappearance time of abdominal distension and the recovery time of exhaust were shorter in treatment group than in control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion::Dahuang Zhuyu decoction for oral administration and enema for severe acute pancreatitis with syndromes of blood stasis and toxin can alleviate clinical symptoms, reduce amylase and lipase levels, inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, promote the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, restore intestinal function, and improve clinical efficacy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the effect of probiotics combined with early enteral nutrition on infection and gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods Prospective cohort study was adopted to select patients who admitted to ICU in a hospital from February 2016 to October 2017, they were randomly divided into three groups:A, B, and C.Group A received early enteral nutrition combined with probiotics, group B received early enteral nutrition, and group C received early parenteral nutrition.Infection condition, level of infection indicators (on the 3 rd, 7 th and 14 th day after treatment), occurrence of gastrointestinal dysfunction, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) on the 14 th day after treatment were compared among three groups.Results Incidences of infection in group A, B, and C were 6.00％, 20.00％, and 22.00％ respectively, difference among three groups was significant (χ2=8.57, P=0.01).C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC) in group A on the 7 th and 14 th day were both lower than those in group B and C;procalcitonin (PCT) in group A and B on the 3 rd day were both lower than that in group C;PCT in group A on the 7 th and 14 th day were both lower than those in group B and C;difference were all statistically significant (all P＜ 0.05).Incidence of abdominal distension (8.00％), diarrhea (4.00％) and gastric retention (4.00％) in group A were the lowest among three groups.APACHE II score in group A on the 14 th day after treatment was lowest.Conclusion Early enteral nutrition combined with probiotics for treatment of ICU patients with mechanical ventilation can effectively reduce the incidence of infection and gastrointestinal dysfunction, promote rehabilitation, which is worth promoting the application.
