Clinical Observation of Zidi Mixture Combined with Proton Pump Inhibitors in the Treatment of Peptic Ulcer Bleeding
Objective To observe the clinical effect of Zidi Mixture(with the actions of inducing astringency and arresting bleeding,clearing heat and cooling blood)combined with proton pump inhibitors(PPIs)in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding(PUB).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 281 PUB patients hospitalized in the emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2019 to May 2023.According to the treatment options,the patients were divided into a control group(143 cases)and an observation group(138 cases).The patients in the control group were treated with PPIs together with routine basic treatment,and the patients in the observation group were treated with Zidi Mixture orally on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for 3 days.The changes of Glasgow-Blaschford Score(GBS),and the levels of hemoglobin(HGB),platelet count(PLT),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(Cr),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)were observed before and after treatment in the two groups.Moreover,the average hospitalization time and clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared.Results(1)After 3 days of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 97.10%(134/138)and that of the control group was 91.61%(131/143),and the intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the GBS scores in the two groups were decreased as compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of GBS scores in the observation group was superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)The average hospitalization time in the observation group was(5.81±1.02)days,which was shorter than that in the control group[(6.13±1.12)days],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the peripheral HGB and PLT levels in the two groups were higher than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the BUN level was lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the effects on increasing peripheral blood HGB and PLT levels and on decreasing BUN level in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group,the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).(5)In the course of treatment,the peripheral AST,ALT,Cr levels of the two groups were not elevated,and the differences were insignificant(P>0.05).Conclusion Zidi Mixture combined with PPIs is effective in the treatment of PUB,which helps to improve relevant indicators of blood routine test and biochemical indexes and shorten hospitalization time,and its efficacy is stronger than that of PPIs alone.
