Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on effect of Tanreqing Injection combined with Western medicine on acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis / 中国中药杂志

To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of Tanreqing Injection in treating acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis( AECB). CNKI,Wan Fang,VIP,CBM,Medline,Cochrane Library,EMbase and Web of Science were retrieved,and randomized controlled trials for the effect of Tanreqing Injection in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis were screened. The quality of the included studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook's evaluation criteria. The data was analyzed by RevMan 5.3. Totally 23 RCTs involving 1 901 patients were included,including 952 in the experimental group and 949 in the control group. The Meta-analysis demonstrated that in terms of the disappearance time of fever,the group of Tanreqing Injection combined with the conventional therapy was superior to conventional therapy group( RR =-1. 03,95%CI[-1. 45,-0. 62],P<0. 000 01); compared with the conventional therapy group,the group of Tanreqing Injection combined with conventional therapy had a higher cure rate for AECB( RR = 1. 17,95% CI[1. 13,1. 23],P < 0. 000 01). The group of Tanreqing Injection combined with levofloxacin had a higher cure rate for AECB than the levofloxacin group( RR = 1. 23,95% CI[1. 08,1. 41],P = 0. 002). The group of Tanreqing Injection combined with cefuroxime had a higher cure rate for AECB than the cefuroxime group( RR = 1. 22,95%CI[1. 05,1. 42],P = 0. 01).The group of Tanreqing Injection combined with cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium had a higher cure rate for AECB than the group of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium( RR = 1. 22,95% CI[1. 04,1. 44],P = 0. 02). The outcomes of disappearance time of cough and expectoration had a huge heterogeneity,so were used for descriptive analysis. The adverse reactions mainly included skin rash,dizziness,gastrointestinal reactions. Based on the available data and the results of the analysis,the group of Tanreqing Injection combined with Western medicine has a higher cure rate for acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis,and the effect in reducing symptoms disappearance time. In view of the limited number of included studies,small sample size and low methodological quality,the results of this study need to be confirmed with high-level clinical trials.

Efficacy and Safety of Moxifloxacin in the Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis:A Me-ta-analysis / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Moxifloxacin(MFX)in the treatment of acute ex-acerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB),and provide evidence-based reference for Tational use of MFX. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,Medline,CBM,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang Database,the relevant conference proceed-ings and grey literature were also hand-searched,randomized controlled trials(RCT)about MFX(test group)versus other antibiot-ics (control group) in the treatment of AECB were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 software with ITT analysis and PP analysis after literature selection,data extraction and quality evaluation. RESULTS:Totally 14 RCTs were in-cluded,involving 6 058 patients. Results of PP analysis showed,the clinical effective rate in test group was similar to that of con-trol group [RR=1.02,95%CI(1.00,1.04),P=0.06],while bacteria clearance rate was significantly higher than control group [RR=1.07,95%CI(1.04,1.11),P<0.001]. Results of ITT analysis showed,the clinical effective rate in test group was significantly high-er than control group [RR=1.03,95%CI(1.00,1.06),P=0.03],while there was no significant difference in the bacteria clearance rate [RR=1.02,95%CI(0.92,1.12),P=0.73] and the incidence of adverse reactions [RR=0.97,95%CI(0.87,1.08),P=0.52] be-tween 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of MFX is not inferior to other antibiotics in the treatment of AECB,safety is simi-lar to other antibiotics.
