| Objective: To study the effect of Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction on the intestinal flora and immune function of elderly patients with sepsis with gastrointestinal dysfunction and spleen-stomach-qi deficiency syndrome.Methods:Prospectively selected elderly patients with sepsis and gastrointestinal dysfunction in our hospital and randomly divided them into a control group and a traditional Chinese medicine group. They were treated with Western medicine and Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction combined with Western medicine. The course of treatment was 7 days.Observe and compare the 28-day mortality rate, ICU hospitalization days, SOFA score, APACHE Ⅱ score, white blood cell (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) before and after treatment (day 7) ), gastrointestinal disease TCM syndrome score, gastrointestinal dysfunction score, intestinal flora (lactobacillus, bifidobacterium, enterobacteria, enterococcus, Bacteroides, Clostridium perfringens), immunoglobulin, T Changes in lymphocyte subsets.Results: At the same time, compared with the control group, the clinical efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine group after treatment was better, WBC , CRP , PCT , SOFA score, APACHE-Ⅱ score , TCM syndrome score for gastrointestinal diseases , gastrointestinal dysfunction score, the number of lactobacilli , the number of bifidobacteria , the number of enterobacteria , the number of enterococci. The number of Bacteroides , the number of Clostridium perfringens,IgG , IgA , IgM , CD3+ , CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.05). The time of admission to the ICU (10.65±4.38d vs. 16.35±4.82, P<0.01) and the 28-day mortality rate [5 (9.52%) vs. 6 (15.0%), P<0.01] of the TCM group were lower than those of the control group.Conclusions: Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction can adjust the intestinal flora of elderly patients with sepsis, reduce the level of inflammation, improve the immune function of the body, and improve the clinical prognosis. |
