Clinical Effect of Xijiao Dihuangtang Combined with Acupuncture on Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Syndrome of Intense Heat Toxin
To observe the clinical effect of Xijiao Dihuangtang combined with acupuncture on the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with syndrome of intense heat toxin.
Method
2
A total of 102 cases of SLE with syndrome of intense heat toxin (admitted from January 2020 to December 2021) were divided into a control group and an observation group by random number table method, with 51 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received conventional western medicine treatment (hydroxychloroquine sulfate + poonisone acetate tablets). Patients in the observation group were given Xijiao Dihuangtang combined with acupuncture based on the treatment of the control group. Clinical efficacy, onset time, symptom improvement time, skin lesion regression time, and hospital stays were recorded. Blood routine index change, 24 h urine protein levels, double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA) antibodies resistance index changes, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome integral changes, and changes in serum cytokine indexes, blood rheology indexes, and T lymphocyte subsets indexes were observed. SLE changes in disease activity index (SLEDAI-2000), quality of life (SF-36) scores, and adverse reactions were explored.
Result
2
The total effective rate was 96.08% (49/51) in the observation group, higher than 84.31% (43/51) in the control group (
χ
2
=3.991,
P
<
0.05). The onset time, symptom improvement time, skin lesion regression time, and hospital stays in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). Before treatment, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cell count (WBC), and other blood routine indexes, 24h urinary protein levels, anti-ds-DNA, TCM syndrome integral core, serum cytokine indexes including interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), blood rheology indexes (fibrinogen, plasma viscosity, and whole blood viscosity),T lymphocyte subsets indexes (CD4
+
, CD8
+
, and CD4
+
/CD8
+
), SLEDAI-2000, and SF-36 score comparison in both groups had no statistical significance
.
After treatment, the above indicators were improved in each group (
P
<
0.05), and the indicators in the observation group was better than that in the control group (
P
<
0.05). In terms of the adverse reactions, there was 1 case of digestive tract reaction, 1 case of elevated aminotransferase, and 1 case of insomnia in the observation group. There were 2 cases of digestive tract reaction,1 case of infection, and 1 case of elevated transaminase in the control group. The difference of the adverse reactions between the two groups had no statistical significance.
Conclusion
2
Xijiao Dihuangtang combined with acupuncture has good clinical effect on the treatment of SLE with syndrome of intense heat toxin, and the method is safe, reliable, and worthy of application.
