Effect of lung distension stabilization formula combined with Liu Zi Jue exercise on the rehabilitation of COPD patients in stable stage with lung and kidney deficiency syndrome / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effect of lung distension stabilization formula combined with Liu Zi Jue exercise on the rehabilitation of patients with lung and kidney deficiency syndrome in stable phase of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:Randomized controlled trial. A total of 179 patients with lung and kidney deficiency syndrome in stable COPD (admitted from April 2019 to April 2022) were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into western medicine conventional treatment group, combined treatment group and Liu Zi Jue group by random number table method. All the patients in the group received conventional western medicine treatment, and 59 patients in the Liu Zi Jue group received Liu Zi Jue treatment. Combined treatment group to take Liu Zi Jue + Lung distension stabilization formula. Data observation clinical curative effect and TCM syndrome and total integral change before and after the treatment level of interleukin 8 (IL-8), pulmonary function index changes, COPD patients self-assessment scale (CAT) score, st George's hospital respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) scores change were observed.Results:The total response rate was 66.67% (40/60) in the conventional treatment group, 83.05% (49/59) in the Liu Zi Jue group and 96.67% (58/60) in the combined treatment group. The total response rate in the combined treatment group was significantly higher than that in the conventional treatment group and the Liu Zi Jue group ( Z=3.76, P<0.01). The Liu Zi Jue group was significantly higher than the conventional western medicine group ( χ2=4.24, P=0.040). After treatment, the symptom score of combined treatment group was significantly lower than that of Liu Zi Jue group and conventional treatment group ( F=14.87, P<0.01), and that of Liu Zi Jue group was significantly lower than that of conventional treatment group ( t=5.87, P<0.01). The scores of CAT and SGRQ were significantly lower than those in the Liu Zi Jue group and conventional treatment group ( F values were 76.72 and 312.36, P<0.01), and those in Liu Zi Jue group were significantly lower than that of the conventional treatment group ( t=4.97, P<0.01). After treatment, the serum IL-8 level of the combined treatment group was significantly lower than that of the Liu Zi Jue group and the conventional treatment group ( F=154.64, P<0.01), and the Liu Zi Jue group was significantly lower than that of the conventional treatment group ( t=11.35, P<0.01). FVC [(2.93±0.60) L vs. (2.49±0.65) L, (2.25±0.63) L, F=20.62], FEV1 [(2.20±0.42) L vs. (1.88±0.41) L, (1.72±0.40) L, F=21.30] and FEV1% [(42.34±4.86) % vs. (38.85±5.00) %, (36.95±4.91) %, F=18.49] were significantly higher than those in the Liu Zi Jue group and conventional treatment group ( P<0.01). The Liu Zi Jue group was higher than that of the conventional treatment group ( t values were 3.76, 2.87, 5.15, P<0.01). Conclusion:Lung distension stabilization formula combined with Liu Zi Jue exercisecan promote the rehabilitation of COPD patients with lung and kidney deficiency syndrome in stable phase, improve the curative effect of patients, improve lung function, relieve symptoms, and improve the quality of life.
