目的 观察风咳浓煎剂治疗呼吸道感染后咳嗽(Postinfectious cough,PIC)患者的疗效及对其气道炎症的影响.方法 选取2021年1月-2023年6月期间南京中医药大学附属南京市中西医结合医院收治的呼吸道PIC患者122例,按随机数字表法分为观察组与对照组,每组各61例.对照组接受常规西药治疗,观察组在对照组基础上加用风咳浓煎剂治疗.治疗10 d后,观察比较两组患者临床疗效、临床症状缓解及不良反应情况,治疗前后中医证候评分、视觉模拟量表(Visual analogue scale,VAS)、简易咳嗽程度评分表(Cough evaluation test,CET)、莱切斯特咳嗽问卷(Leicester cough questionnaire,LCQ)、炎症相关指标[血清白介素-6(Interleukin-6,IL-6)、白介素-8(Interleukin-8,IL-8)、肿瘤坏死因子 α(Tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)、P 物质(Substance P,SP)].结果 治疗后观察组患者咳嗽、咳痰、咽痒、气喘消失时间明显优于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).治疗后两组患者咳嗽、咽干咽痒、咳痰、气急及总评分均较治疗前降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);且观察组咳嗽、咽干咽痒、咳痰、气急及总评分均较对照组明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).治疗后两组患者咳嗽VAS和CET评分均较治疗前降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);且观察组咳嗽VAS和CET评分均较对照组明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).治疗后两组患者LCQ评分均较治疗前升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);且观察组LCQ评分较对照组明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).治疗后两组患者SP、IL-6、IL-8及TNF-α水平均较治疗前降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);且观察组SP、IL-6、IL-8及TNF-α水平均较对照组明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).治疗后观察组总有效率98.28%(57/58)、愈显率86.21%(50/58)明显优于对照组总有效率86.67%(52/60)、愈显率63.33%(38/60),差异有统计学意义(x2=4.114、8.138,P<0.05).治疗期间,两组患者不良反应率比较,差异无统计学意义(x2=3.282,P=0.070).结论 风咳浓煎剂治疗PIC可有效改善患者的临床症状并缩短病程,提高临床疗效,其机制可能与减轻气道炎症有关.
Abstract
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Fengke Nongjian Decoction in the treatment of postin-fectious cough(PIC)after respiratory tract infection and its impact on airway inflammation.Methods A total of 122 patients with respiratory PIC,treated at the Nanjing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Nan-jing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to June 2023,were selected and randomly divided into two groups:an observation group and a control group according to a random number table,with 61 patients in each group.The control group received conventional Western medication,while the observation group was treated with Fengke Nongjian Decoction in addi-tion to the conventional treatment.After 10 days of treatment,clinical efficacy,symptom relief,adverse reactions,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores,Cough Evaluation Test(CET)scores,Leices-ter Cough Questionnaire(LCQ)scores,and inflammatory markers[serum interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-8(IL-8),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),substance P(SP)]before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the observation group showed significantly faster disappearance of symptoms such as cough,ex-pectoration,throat itching,and wheezing than the control group(P<0.05).Both groups had significant reductions in symp-toms such as cough,throat dryness and itching,expectoration,and shortness of breath,as well as total scores,after treatment(P<0.05).The observation group showed lower scores of cough,throat dryness and itching,expectoration,and shortness of breath,as well as total score,than the control group(P<0.05).Both groups also exhibited a significant reduction in cough VAS and CET scores after treatment(P<0.05),with the observation group showing greater reductions than the con-trol group(P<0.05).LCQ scores increased significantly in both groups after treatment(P<0.05),with the observation group showing a more substantial increase than the control group(P<0.05).Inflammatory markers(SP,IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α)were significantly reduced in both groups after treatment(P<0.05),with the observation group showing more pronounced reductions than the control group(P<0.05).The total effective rate in the observation group was 98.28%(57/58)with a recovery rate of 86.21%(50/58),significantly higher than the control group's total effective rate of 86.67%(52/60)and recovery rate of 63.33%(38/60)(x2=4.114,8.138,P<0.05).There was no significant differ-ence in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(x2=3.282,P=0.070).Conclusion Fengke Non-gjian Decoction is effective in improving clinical symptoms,shortening the course of illness,and enhancing clinical efficacy in the treatment of PIC.Its mechanism may be related to the reduction of airway inflammation.
