ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of Huayu-Ningkun liquid enema and external application of dreg for treating chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Methods:A total of 106 patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease who met the inclusion criteria in the gynecological outpatient department of Beijing Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2018 to December 2019 were divided into 2 groups by random number table method, with 53 patients in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy, and the observation group was combined with Huayu-Ningkun liquid enema and external application of drug residue on the basis of the control group. TCM symptom scores were performed before and after treatment, and the Quality of Life of patients was evaluated by Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74). Serum CRP and TNF-α levels were detected by ELISA, and adverse reactions during treatment were recorded. Results:The total effective rate was 96.2% (51/53) in the observation group and 83.0% (44/53) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.970, P=0.026). After treatment, the TCM symptom scores of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=8.205, P<0.01). The scores of physical function, mental function, material life and social function were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t value were 7.503, 8.786, 7.798, 9.353, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the levels of serum CRP (4.52 ± 3.46 g/L vs. 8.23 ± 3.35 g/L, t=5.608) and TNF-α (1.00 ± 0.35 μg/L vs. 1.52 ± 0.28 μg/L, t=14.551) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The Huayu-Ningkun liquid enema and drug residue external application combined with western medicine can relieve the symptoms, reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines, improve clinical efficacy of the patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
