Abstract:Objective To discuss the therapeutic effect of Octreotide combined with Diphenoxylate for acute pancreatitis and influence on serum Ghrelin, PCT and IL-6. Methods Totally 96 patients with acute pancreatitis were randomly divided into control group (n = 48) and treatment group (n = 48). The control group received Octreotide therapy, subcutaneous injection of Octreotide, (0.1 mg, qd); the treatment group was based on the control group plus Diphenoxylate, and both groups lasted for 7 days. Clinical efficacy, clinical indicator remission time, expression levels and side effects of serum Ghrelin, PCT and IL-6 were compared between the groups. Results Total effective rates of treatment group and control group were 95.83% and 79.17%, respectively; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Clinical indicator remission time of the treatment group was shorter than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Serum Ghrelin of treatment group and control group was (155.92 ± 20.03) ng/ L and (189.11 ± 20.00) ng/L, respectively; PCT was (0.62 ± 0.09) μg/L and (0.97 ± 0.14) μg/L, respectively; IL-6 was (9.50 ± 1.31)μg/L and (14.39 ± 1.84) ng/L, respectively; the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Anorexia, abdominal pain and vomiting occurred in both groups, adverse reaction rate was 20.83% and 25.00%, respectively, there was no statistically significant difference (χ2 = 0.235, P = 0.627). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of Octreotide combined with Diphenoxylate on acute pancreatitis is better than the Octreotide only, which can reduce levels of serum Ghrelin, PCT and IL-6, and is better for patient's habilitation.
