Effects of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus Chinese medication on the expression of serum inflammatory indicators and microRNAs in patients with multiple myeloma after chemotherapy / 针灸推拿医学(英文版)
After treatment, the total effective rate was 85.4% in the observation group, higher than 68.3% in the control group (P<0.05). The observation group was superior to the control group in improving the serum inflammatory factor levels, TCM symptom scores, tumorpatient's QOL scores, and the relative expression levels of T-lymphocyte subsets and serum miR-302, miR-140-5p, and miR-125a, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Heat-sensitive moxibustion plus Chinese medication can lower the serum inflammatory factor levels, strengthen immune function, mitigate TCM symptoms, enhance QOL, and raise the expression levels of serum miR-125a, miR-140-5p, and miR-302 in multiple myelomapatients after chemotherapy.
