Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of syndrome differentiation and treatment of Bawei Shenqi Wan combined with Bazhengsan to recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI) in the middle and old age
and investigate its effects on immunity and inflammatory factors. Method:One hundred and forty eligible patients were randomly divided into control group (70 cases) and observation group (70 cases) by using SAS software. Patients in the control group got levofloxacin tablets by oral administration
0.2 g/time
2 times/days
for continuous 2 weeks. And cefalexin and trimethoprim capsules were given at 0.25 g/day when urine culture showed negative results. Based on the treatment in control group
the patients in observation group additionally got Bawei Shenqi Wan combined with Bazhengsan
1 dose/day. The treatment course was 12 weeks in both groups. Before and after treatment
scores of the main symptoms and quality of life were graded. Relapse within 6 months was recorded. And the levels of α1-microglobulin (α1-MG) and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG)
N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)
T cell subgroup (CD3+
CD4+
CD8+
CD4+/CD8+)
urine secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA)
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
interleukin (IL-6) and calcitonin (PCT) were detected. Result:As analyzed by rank sum test
the clinical efficacy in observation group was superior to that in the control group (P<0.05). Scores of symptoms and the total score were all lower than those in control group (P<0.01). After treatment
levels of α1-MG
β2-MG
NAG
TNF-α
IL-6
IL-8 and PCT were all lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Levels of CD4+
CD4+/CD8+and SIgA in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05)
while level of CD8+ was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of physiological function
vitality
emotional function and mental health in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The average number of recurrence times was less than that in the control group during the 6 months' follow-up (P<0.01)
and the recurrence rate in observation group was 37.74%
lower than 60.98% in control group (χ2=5.003
P<0.05). Conclusion:Bawei Shenqi Wan combined with Bazhengsan in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections in the middle and old age can relieve clinical symptoms and reduce recurrence rate
improve quality of life
protect renal function and can regulate immunity and anti-inflammatory function
superior to pure western medicine in short and long-term effects.
