ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction combined with glutamine for treatment of patients with sepsis complicated with paralytic ileus. Methods Sixty patients with septic ileus admitted to the Department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from August 2017 to January 2019 were enrolled. The Western medicine treatment group (30 cases) received routine Western medical methods including intravenous drip of glutamine, etc. for symptomatic treatment, and the Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group (30 cases), based on the treatment in the Western medicine group, were additionally given the decoction by nasal feeding and retention enema twice a day, once 100 mL with the course of 7 days in both groups. The herbal prescription of Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction contained rhubarb 24 g (decocted later), sodium sulfate 15 g (mixed with water to take), magnoliae cortex 15 g, orange frui 10 g, aucklandiae 10 g, henan achyranthes root 10 g and radish seed 15 g, constituting one dose, two doses one day given to a patient, making one dose of herbal medicine to 200 mL of decoction for nasal feeding and retention enema, once 100 mL respectively, twice a day for 7 days. After treatment, the changes of survival rate in ICU, the total effective rate and the level of procalcitonin (PCT) were observed in both groups. Results After treatment, the total effective rate in Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group was significantly higher than that in the Western medicine treatment group [83.33% (25/30) vs. 66.67% (20/30), P < 0.05], and the ICU 7-day survival rate in Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group was also significantly higher than that in Western medicine treatment group [90.00% (27/30) vs. 76.67% (23/30), P < 0.05]. After treatment, the levels of PCT (μg/L) in both groups were significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment (Western medicine treatment group 3.38±1.72 vs. 6.43±3.29, and Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group 2.39±1.24 vs. 6.78±2.31, both P < 0.05), and the degree of decrease of PCT in radish seed chengqi decoction group was more obvious than that in Western medicine treatment group (μg/L 2.39±1.24 vs. 3.38±1.72, P < 0.05). Conclusion Applying alanyl glutamine combined with Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction for treatment of patients with sepsis complicated with paralytic ileus can significantly improve the clinical symptoms, reduce the PCT level and elevate the survival rate of patients.
