ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with Guanxinning Tablets in the treatment of heart vessel obstruction type of chest obstruction syndrome.Methods Eighty patients with heart vessel obstruction type of chest obstruction syndrome were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,with 40 cases in each group,the control group was given conventional western medicine treatment,the observation group was given acupuncture combined with Guanxinning Tablets on the basis of the treatment in the control group,and the patients in the two groups were treated continuously for 30 days.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated after 1 month of treatment.After 1 month of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.The changes in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)scores,including chest tightness,palpitations,stabbing pains in the chest,and dark complexion,as well as the frequency and duration of angina pectoris were observed before and after the treatment in the two groups.The changes of serum monocyte chemotactic factor 1(MPC-1),hs-CRP,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK),and Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)were observed before and after treatment in the two groups.Results(1)The total effective rate was 95.00%(38/40)in the observation group and 75.00%(30/40)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores of patients in the two groups,including chest tightness and palpitations,chest tingling,and dark complexion,were significantly improved,and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the TCM syndrome scores of chest tightness and palpitations,chest tingling,and dark complexion,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the frequency and duration of angina attacks in the two groups were significantly improved,and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the frequency and duration of angina attacks,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum hs-CRP,MPC-1,and TNF-α levels of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the serum hs-CRP,MPC-1 and TNF-α levels,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,the serum MAPK and TLR4 levels of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving serum MAPK and TLR4 levels,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with Guanxinning Tablets for the treatment of heart vessel obstruction type of chest obstruction syndrome can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of the patients,effectively alleviate the body's inflammatory response,reduce the level of serum MAPK and TLR4,and the clinical efficacy is remarkable.
