To explore the effect of Shenfu Injection on the hemorrheological index and C-reactive protein in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods:Total 84 cases of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who had received treatment in our hospital between September 2013 and October 2014 were selected, and then randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 42 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated by routine western medicine of Fluticasone, whereas those in the control group were treated with Shenfu Injection additional to the treatment given to the control group. Results: After treatment, the levels of FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC in the observation group were respectively (1.68±0.35)L, (2.80±0.42)L, and (59.62±13.61)%, all significantly higher than those in the control group, which were respectively (1.33±0.59)L, (2.39±0.54)L, and (54.15±10.76)%, with significant differences (P<0.01). After treatment, the levels of plasma IL-8, TNF-α and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the observation group were respectively (40.18±886)pg/ml, (53.01±5.42)pg/ml, and (5.06±4.25)μg/ml, all lower than those in the control group, which were respectively (47.48±6.55)pg/ml, (60.51±641)pg/ml and (7.28±5.43)μg/ml, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the level of blood rheology indexes of whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit and fibrinogen in the observation group were respectively (2.71±0.32)mPa·s, (1.03±0.11)mPa·s, (0.04±0.32)g/L, and (0.72±0.22)mPa·s, all lower than those in the control group, which were respectively (3.55±0.22)mPa·s, (1.61±0.19)mPa·s, (0.43±0.05)% and (3.61±0.58)g/L, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the number of AECOPD attacks in the observation group was (1.05±0.21) times, less than that in the control group, which was (0.21±0.25) times, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: In the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Shenfu Injection combined with routine western medicine can effectively improve the treatment effects and blood rheology indicators, as well as reduce acute exacerbation and boost lung function of the patients. |
