Clinical study of refined mirabilite vs. Chaishao Chengqi Decoction in treating sever acute pancreatitis complicated with abdominal compartment syndrome / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of refined mirabilite vs.Chaishao Chengqi Decoc-tion in treating sever acute pancreatitis(SAP) complicated with abdominal compartment syndrome(ACS). Methods 60 cases of SAP complicated with ACS were divided into treatment group(n = 32) and control group (n=28) with random number table.The treatment group was given the nasal feeding and enema with refined mira-bilite base on routine western medicine treatment. The control group was given the nasal feeding and enema with Chaishao Chengqi Decoction. The 2 groups were compared with respect to the changes of the APACHEⅡ scores, intra-abdominal pressure,endotoxin,calcitonin(PCT),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),recovery time of bowel sound,self-defecation recovery time,length of stay and hospitalization expenses. Results After 7 days of treatment,the intestinal permeability index(endotoxin) and the related indicators(PCT,TNF-α) were significantly lower than before treatment in both groups(P<0.05).The abdominal pressure of both groups at days 1,3 and 7 days after treatment was significantly lower than before treatment(P < 0.05) but the difference between the two groups had no statistical significance(P > 0.05). In the 3rd and 7th days of the treatment,APACHEⅡ scores were significantly lower than before treatment(P<0.05),but the difference between the two groups was not statis-tically significant in the score(P>0.05).The two groups showed no significant difference in the recovery time of bowel sound,self-defecation recovery time,length of stay and hospitalization expenses(P > 0.05). Conclusions Refined mirabilite as adjuvant therapy in SAP with ACS,can effectively reduce the internal pressure,promote the intestinal function recovery,protect the intestinal mucosal barrier function,reduce intestinal bacteria and endotox-in translocation and the complications of infection.It has a similar clinical effect as Chaishao Chengqi Decoction to the recovery of the disease.
