[Clinical observation on effect of tongfu xiere recipe in treating surgical abdominal diseases accompanied with systemic inflammatory response syndrome].

OBJECTIVE

To observe the effect of Tongfu Xiere Recipe (TXR) on surgical abdominal diseases accompanied with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).

METHODS

Forty-six patients in the post-operational stage were treated by basic therapy, including conventional treatment and antibiotics applying, and combined use of TXR, and compared with the 43 patients treated by basic therapy alone as the control group.

RESULTS

Compared with the control group, the incidence of complications in the treatment group was significantly lower (P<0.01). The incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and the mortality in the treatment group showed an decreasing tendency. Moreover, levels of plasma endotoxin, TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-8 in the treatment group after treatment decreased significantly, while IL-2 level increased (P < 0.01), and showed a significant difference (P < 0.01) as compared with those in the control group.

CONCLUSION

The combined therapy can decrease the levels of blood endotoxin and inflammation promoting cytokine and increase the level of cytokine that directly related with immune function to regulate immunity and inhibit the inflammatory reaction, and furthermore, to prevent MODS and decrease the mortality of patients with surgical abdominal diseases accompanied SIRS.
