ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical effect of the quadruple therapy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for treatment of patients with paralytic ileus.Methods A prospective randomized control trial was conducted.Ninty-five patients with paralytic ileus diagnosed by Tianjin First Central Hospital from January 2015 to February 2016 were randomly divided into a control group (47 cases) and a research group (48 cases).Routine western medical treatment was given to the patients in control group;on the basis of western medical routine treatment,quadruple therapy was applied to the patients in the research group,including alprostadil injection 10 μg,intravenous drip,once a day;Xuebijing injection 40 mL,intravenous drip,twice a day;liangge powder with modification (ingredients or their dosages being added and/or subtracted) composed of rhubarb 10 g,mirabilite 10 g,gardenia 15 g,weeping forsythia 20 g,scutellaria 15 g,glycyrrhiza 6 g,mint 6 g,bamboo leaves 10 g,honey 10 g.administered by gastric tube;point selection principlezusanli (ST36),sanyinjiao (SP6),tianshu (S25),hegu (LI4),yanglingquan (GB34),zhongwan (CV12),xiawan (CV10),dachangshu (C07)etc.No.30 filiform needle was used to be perpendicularly inserted by moderate and equi-librious acupuncture technique,needle retaining being 30 minutes,once a day for 72 hours.The numbers of the patients with abdominal pain,abdominal distension,nausea and vomiting,absence of exhausting and defecation,gurgling sound attenuation or disappearance,abdominal X-ray abnormality,and the first defecation time,gurgling reappearance time,disappearance time of main symptoms were observed.The clinical effects of these two groups were statistically analyzed.Results After treatment in the two groups,the numbers of patients with abdominal pain,abdominal distension,nausea and vomiting,absence of exhausting and defecation,gurgling sound attenuation or disappearance,abdominal X-ray abnormality were all significantly reduced compared with those before treatment,except the nausea and vomiting symptom,the degrees of descent of other indexes were more remarkable in the research group (abdominal pain7 cases vs.44 cases,abdominal distension6 cases vs.45 cases,absence of exhausting and defecation3 cases vs.48 cases,gurgling sound attenuation or disappearance11 cases vs.43 cases,abdominal X-ray abnormality12 cases vs.48 cases),the time of first defecation in research group (hours22.65 ± 6.72 vs.34.35 ± 5.38),gurgling reappearance time (hours40.36 ± 6.99 vs.51.33 ± 5.80),symptom disappearance time (hours51.44 ± 9.41 vs.60.10 ± 5.48) in research group were all shorter significantly than those in control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The total effective rate in the research group was obviously higher than that of the control group [93.75％ (45/48) vs.87.37％ (37/47),P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions The therapeutic effects of the quadruple therapy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine are remarkable for treatment of paralytic ileus.
