Effect of Erchen Decoction and Sanzi Yangqin Decoction on Respiratory Symptoms and Inflammatory Response in Patients with Chronic Bronchitis
Objective To analyze the effect of Erchen decoction and Sanzi Yangqin decoction on respiratory symptoms and inflammatory response in patients with chronic bronchitis(CB).Methods From January 2021 to July 2023,60 patients with CB admitted to Linchuan District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Fuzhou City were selected and divided into control group(30 patients)and observation group(30 patients)by random number table method.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,and the observation group was treated with Erchen decoction combined with Sanzi Yangqin decoction on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy,respiratory symptoms(cough,expectoration,wheezing),inflammatory response[white blood cell(WBC),neutrophil percentage(NEUT),C-reactive protein(CRP)]and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of respiratory symptoms(cough,expectoration and wheezing)in the two groups were lower than those before treatment,and the scores of respiratory symptoms(cough,expectoration and wheezing)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of WBC,NEUT and CRP in the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment,and the levels of WBC,NEUT and CRP in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The treatment satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Erchen decoction and Sanzi Yangqin decoction can improve the clinical efficacy of CB patients,relieve their respiratory symptoms,down-regulate the inflammatory response in vivo,and improve the treatment satisfaction of patients.
