Application Value of Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction Combined with Enteral Nutrition Support in the Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Guided by the Theory of Simultaneous Treatment of Lung and Intestine
Objective To explore the application value of Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction combined with enteral nutrition support in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)guided by the theory of simultaneous treatment of lung and intestine.Methods A total of 92 patients with AECOPD were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,46 cases in each group.Both groups were given routine symptomatic treatment.In addition,the control group was given enteral nutrition support intervention,and the observation group was given Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction combined with enteral nutrition support intervention.The course of treatment lasted for two weeks.The changes in the nutritional parameters such as serum albumin(ALB),prealbumin(PA),and transferrin(TF),and in the distribution of intestinal flora of the two groups were observed before and after treatment.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After two weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 97.83%(45/46),and that of the control group was 82.61%(38/46).The comparison between the two groups(tested by chi-square test)showed that the therapeutic efficacy of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the serum levels of nutritional parameters of ALB,PA and TF in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the increase of serum ALB,PA and TF levels in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(3)After treatment,the number of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains of intestinal flora in the two groups was significantly higher than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the number of Enterococcus strain was significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05).The increase in the number of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains and the decrease in the number of Enterococcus strains in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(4)The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 4.35%(2/46),which was significantly lower than that in the control group(19.57%,9/46).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Significant clinical efficacy has been achieved after the application of Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction combined with enteral nutrition support in treating AECOPD patients with lung heat and bowel excess syndrome guided by the theory of simultaneous treatment of lung and intestine.The combined therapy is effective on improving the nutritional status and intestinal flora imbalance of patients,and reducing the incidence of adverse reactions.
