To study the clinical effect of mustard antiasthmatic ointment acupoint application combined with Pingchuan Formula in the treatment of infantile asthma.Methods:From July 2017 to September 2018,a total of 40 child patients with asthma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese medicine were selected as the study objects and were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 20 cases in each group.The control group was given routine symptomatic treatment.The observation group was treated with acupoint application mustard antiasthmatic ointment combined with Pingchuan prescription on the basis of the control group.After 4 weeks of continuous treatment,the clinical efficacy was observed and the changes of TCM symptom score,first second forced expiratory volume(FEV1),maximum expiratory flow(PEF),vital capacity(FVC),peripheral blood eosinophils(EOS)and interleukin-17(IL-17)were compared between the 2 groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)scores such as asthma,cough,expectoration,chest tightness,dyspnea and wheezing sound of lungs in the 2 groups were significantly improved,and the improvement in the observation group was superior to that in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).FEV1,PEF and FVC in the 2 groups were significantly improved after treatment,and the improvement in the observation group was superior to that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05); after treatment,the levels of EOS and IL-17 decreased in both groups,and the improvement in the observation group was superior to that in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion:The clinical effects of acupoint application of mustard seed anti-asthma ointment combined with Pingchuan Formula in the treatment of infantile asthma is obvious,which can significantly improve the TCM symptoms score,pulmonary function and immune function of patients. |
