Title: Observations on curative effects of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine on gastrointestinal functinal failure
Abstract: Objective:To observe the curative effects of general treatment of integrated traditional Chinese
medicine(TCM) and western medicine(WM) on gastrointestinal functional failure
(GFF).Methods:19 cases with GFF were randomly divided into treatment group ( n =10) and
control group ( n =9).Based on conventional therapy the treatment group was treated with
general treatment of integrated TCM WM but the control group treated with WM alone.The
parameters of laboratory examinations in two groups were observed before and after
therapy.Results:According to gastroduodenoscopy and abdominal Xray examinations in
treatment group all the 10 cases were effective otherwise in control group 6 cases among 9
cases were effective,so that the effective rates were 100 0% in treatment group and 66 7% in
control group respectively.The difference was significant ( P 0 05).In treatment group after
therapy all the hemoglobin,white blood cell,neotrophils,stool OB,blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and
carbon dioxide combining power(CO 2CP) in comparison with before therapy were significantly
improved (all P 0 05),otherwise there were not obvious variations in control group before
and after treatment.Conclusions:Using the therapeutic method of general treatment of integrated
TCM WM to treat GFF can promote the functional recovery of effective defence barries of
gastrointestinal tract,prevent the absorbtion or translocation of bacteria and toxins in
gastrointestinal tract,and break the chain reactions of GFF progression to multiple organ failure
(MOF),meanwhile it benefit the recovery of gastrointestinal functions as early as possible.Its
curative effects are significant and superior to that treated with WM alone.
