Research on treatment of 120 cases of pulmonary Interstitial fibrosis with prednisone anti Shuxuening Injection / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical effect ofprednisone combined with Shuxuening injection on pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Methods 120 cases were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group. The control group was treated with prednisone, and the treatment group was additionally given Shuxuening injection on the basis of the control group. The changes of vital capacity (VC), PO_2, PCO_2 and imaging were observed. Results The total effective rate was 81.67% and 66.67% in the treatment group and the control group Respectively, showing significant difference (P<0.05). VC and PO_2 were raised in both groups after the treatment (P<0.05), while the treatment group showed better results than the control group (P<0.05). PCO2 were also raised in both groups after the treatment (P<0.05), while there was no significant diference between the two groups (P > 0.05). There were 27 cases (45.00%) and 19 cases (31.67%) showed improvement in imaging in the treatment group and the control group respectively, manifesting a significant difference (P<0.05) . Conclusion Treatment of prednisone with Shuxuening injection is better than prednisone on pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. This method is worthy of clinic promotion.
