Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the effects of Buyanghuanwu decoction on blood hypercoagulability in lung cancer patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis type. METHODS: Sixty cases of lung cancer patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis were divided into observation group and control group. The control group was treated with routine nutritional support. The observation group was given Buyanghuanwu decoction on the basis of the control group. The KPS score was recorded to assess the quality of life of the patients. Symptoms of Chinese medicine were evaluated by TCM symptom score. Blood rheology indexes (whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, fibrinogen and platelet) were detected before and after treatment of the two groups. The levels of serum tPA and PAI-1 were detected before and after treatment 7, 14, 28 d in two groups. The incidence of pulmonary embolism in the two groups was recorded during the treatment.RESULTS:The curative effect of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The curative effect of TCM symptom score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, fibrinogen and platelets were significantly decreased after treatment in the observation group. And the above indexes were significantly lower than that of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 28 d of treatment, the tPA in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group. PAI-1 was significantly lower than that of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of pulmonary embolism in the observation group was lower than that in the control group. But the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Buyanghuanwu decoction can significantly improve the hypercoagulable state of patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis type lung cancer, and improve the quality of life of patients.
