Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine retention enema combined with gastric tube infusion and continuous gastrointestinal decompression in the treatment of pancreatitis.Methods Eighty two patients with acute pancreatitis in our hospital were randomly divided into the Chinese medicine treatment group and the Western medicine treatment group. Patients in the Western medicine treatment group were received conventional western medicine treatment, and patients in the Chinese medicine treatment group were received traditional Chinese medicine retention enema combined with gastric tube infusion on the basis of the treatment of control group. The time of disappearance of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, borborygmus recovery, and hospital stay were compared between the two groups. AMS, ALT, Scr, BUN, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 levels were compared between the two groups before and 7 days after treatment. The efficacy and complications of the two groups were compared.Results The time of abdominal distension disappearance, abdominal pain disappearance, borborygmus recovery, and hospital stay in the Chinese medicine treatment group were all less than those in the Western medicine treatment group (P < 0.05). After 7d of treatment, AMS, ALT, Scr, and BUN levels in the Chinese medicine treatment group were lower than those in the Western medicine treatment group (P < 0.05). TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 levels in the Chinese medicine treatment group were lower than those in the Western medicine treatment group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the Chinese medicine treatment group was higher than that of the Western medicine treatment group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in the Chinese medicine treatment group was lower than that in the Western medicine treatment group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine retention enema combined with gastric tube infusion and continuous gastrointestinal decompression has a significant effect on the treatment of pancreatitis, which can significantly improve the symptoms and laboratory indicators of patients, reduce the expression of inflammatory factors, and promote the recovery of patients, with safe and stable efficacy.
