Objective:To discuss the clinical effect of Peitu Shengjin decoction for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD
Qi deficiency of lung and spleen) at stationary phase and investigate the mechanism of airway remodeling. Method:One hundred and sixty patients were randomly divided into control group 80 cases and observation group 80 cases by random number table. Patients in control group received tiotropium bromide powder for inhalation. Based on the treatment in control group
patients in observation group added Peitu Shengjin decoction. The treatment course was 4 months in both groups. Before and after treatment
pulmonary function was detected
and forced vital capacity (FVC)
forced expiratory volume at the first second (FEV1)
and percentage of FEV1 in estimated value (FEV1%) were recorded. Scores of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome
and index of dyspnea (MMRC) were graded. In addition
the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6)
IL-8
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2
MMP-9)
and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) were detected. Result:The total effective rate was 89.33% in observation group
higher than 73.61% in control group (χ2=6.056
P<0.05). The scores of cardinal symptom
total score of TCM syndrome and score of MMRC in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Levels of IL-6
IL-8
TNF-α
TGF-β1
VEGF
MMP-2
MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were all lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Peitu Shengjin decoction can inhibit inflammatory response
regulate growth factor and balance of protease-antiprotease
relieve airway remodeling
alleviate clinical symptoms and improve pulmonary function.
