Clinical Study on Therapy of Unblocking Bowels in the Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis of Pathogenic-Cold Accumulation and Retention Type
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of modified Dahuang Fuzi Decoction following the therapy of unblocking bowels for the treatment of acute pancreatitis of pathogenic-cold accumulation and retention type.Methods A total of 78 patients with acute pancreatitis of pathogenic-cold accumulation and retention type were randomly divided into a study group and a control group,39 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,and the study group was treated with oral use or nasogastric feeding of Dahuang Fuzi Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment covered seven days.The two groups were observed in the changes of serum pancreatic enzyme indicators of serum amylase and lipase,inflammatory factors of C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6(IL-6)and interleukin-8(IL-8),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,and modified CT severity index(MCTSI)score before and after treatment.The time for abdominal pain relief,time for abdominal distension relief,and time for anal defecation were compared between the two groups.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,there was one patient falling off separately from the study group and the control group,and 38 patients in each group were eventually included in the efficacy statistics.(2)After seven days of treatment,the total effective rate of the study group was 86.84%(33/38),and that of the control group was 78.95%(30/38).The intergroup comparison(tested by rank sum test)showed that the efficacy of the study group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the serum levels of pancreatic enzyme indicators of amylase and lipase in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of serum amylase and lipase levels in the study group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factors of CRP,PCT,IL-6 and IL-8 in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of serum CRP,PCT,IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the study group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the APACHE Ⅱ and MCTSI scores of the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of APACHE Ⅱ and MCTSI scores in the study group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(6)For the time of symptom relief,the time for abdominal pain relief,time for abdominal distension relief,and time for anal defecation in the study group were significantly shortened compared with those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).(7)No obvious adverse reactions occurred in the two groups during the treatment,indicating high safety.Conclusion On the basis of conventional treatment,the use of modified Dahuang Fuzi Decoction following the therapy of unblocking bowels exerts certain efficacy for the treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis of pathogenic-cold accumulation and retention type.The therapy is effective on relieving the symptoms and signs of patients,and decreasing the level of serum pancreatic enzyme indicators and inflammatory factors.
