RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of modified Shaoyao-Gancao Decoction combined with oral morphine sulfate sustained release tablets in the treatment of cancer pain with qi and blood deficiency. Methods:A total of 102 cancer pain patients with qi and blood deficiency from March 2017 to May 2018 were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, 51 in each group. The control group was treated with morphine sulfate sustained release tablets on the basis of conventional treatment, and the treatment group was treated with modified Shaoyao-Gancao Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Numerical rating scale (NRS) was used to assess the severity of cancer pain, and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) scale was used to assess the quality of life. The level of Endothelin-1 (ET-1) was measured by radioimmunoassay, The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and substance P (SP), TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-2 were detected by ELISA, the clinical effects were evaluated, and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results:The total effective rate was 94.1% (48/51) in the treatment group and 78.4% (40/51) in the control group, the difference between two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=5.299, P=0.021). After the treatment, the NRS score (2.84 ± 1.32 vs. 4.22 ± 1.44, t=5.045) in the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01), and the KPS score (73.13 ± 10.19 vs. 59.93 ± 8.81, t=6.998) was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). After the treatment, serum 5-HT (0.34 ± 0.09 pg/ml vs. 0.53 ± 0.14 pg/ml, t=8.153), PGE2 (65.03 ± 15.79 pg/ml vs. 94.85 ± 20.88 pg/ml, t=8.135), ET-1 (99.96 ± 21.57 pg/ml vs. 176.78 ± 26.01 pg/ml, t=16.236), SP (60.27 ± 12.71 pg/ml vs. 65.63 ± 12.09 pg/ml, t=2.182) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Serum TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 level were significantly lower than that of the control group ( t value were 35.071, 12.472, 8.122, all Ps<0.01), and IL-2 level was significantly higher than that of the control group ( t=6.579, P<0.01). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 13.7% (7/51) in the control group and 2.0% (1/51) in the treatment group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.630, P=0.031). Conclusions:Modified Shaoyao-Gancao Decoction combined with morphine sulfate sustained release tablets can relieve the pain of cancer pain patients with qi and blood deficiency, reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines, and improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect ofGuilong Kechuanning tablets combine with antibiotic drugs on pulmonary infection after chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer,so as to reduce the incidence of pulmonary infection in hospital.Methods:A total of 120 patients with lung cancer complicated with pulmonary infection,who underwent chemotherapy in Baoji Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2013 to August 2015,were selected and randomly divided into control group (n=60) and experiment group (n=60).The control group was treated with Ceftizoxime,based on which,the experiment group was added oral Guilong Kechuanning tablets.The course oftreatment of the two groups was 2 weeks.Inflammation indicators of the two groups were compared before and after treatment,and the clinical effect,hospitalized time,antifebrile time,time significantly reduced of cough and expectoration,disappearance time of lung rales and the pulmonary bacterial clearance rate were observed between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate (91.67％) of experiment group was significantly higher than that(73.33％) of control group (x2=13.121,P=0.004).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in WBC,CRP and NEUT levels between the two groups (P＞0.05);while after treatment,the levels of WBC,CRP and NEUT were all lower than those before treatment in both groups (all P＜0.05),and the levels of WBC,CRP and NEUT in the experiment group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the bacterial clearance rate (99.09％) of the experiment group was significantly higher than that (86.94％) of the control group (x2=54.876,P=0.000).Conclusion:Guilong Kechuanning tablets combined with antibiotic drugs can effectively control the pulmonary infection after chemotherapy in the patients with lung cancer,and can improve the clinical symptoms and inflammatory reaction,which is worthy of clinical application.
