摘要:
目的 观察葛根芩连汤对湿热瘀毒型肝细胞癌(Hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC)患者经导管肝动脉栓塞化疗(Transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization, TACE)术后栓塞综合征的疗效。 方法 选取2019年1月至2021年12月江苏省肿瘤医院100例湿热瘀毒型HCC门诊及住院患者, 随机分为对照组50例、治疗组50例(脱落3例), 2组均接受TACE治疗, 术后对照组予常规西药对症治疗, 治疗组在对照组治疗基础上予葛根芩连汤颗粒剂口服治疗, 2组疗程均为2周。记录2组患者治疗期间出现TACE术后栓塞综合征主要症状的分级情况及持续时间, 评估2组患者治疗前后中医证候积分变化情况, 检测2组患者治疗前后肝功能指标[丙氨酸氨基转移酶(Alanine aminotransferase, ALT)、天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(Aspartate aminotransferase, AST)、总胆红素(Total bilirubin, TB)、γ-谷氨酰转肽酶(Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, GGT)]、脂质代谢相关指标[总胆固醇(Total cholesterol, TC)、甘油三酯(Triglyceride, TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(Low density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(High density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C)]及免疫指标(CD4+、CD8+、调节性T细胞相对比例及CD4+/CD8+)表达水平, 并进行发病因素相关分析。 结果 治疗期间, 治疗组患者的发热和恶心呕吐严重程度较对照组减轻(P < 0.05), 主要症状持续时间较对照组缩短(P < 0.05)。治疗后, 2组患者中医证候均显著改善(P < 0.01), 治疗组发热、恶心呕吐、纳差、总积分改善情况优于对照组(P < 0.05, P < 0.01), 治疗组中医证候疗效优于对照组(P < 0.05);2组患者肝功能、脂质代谢及免疫相关指标均较治疗前改善(P < 0.05, P < 0.01), 治疗组血清ALT、TB、TC、TG、LDL-C水平改善优于对照组(P < 0.05, P < 0.01), 治疗组外周血CD4+、调节性T细胞相对比例及CD4+/CD8+低于对照组(P < 0.05, P < 0.01)。TG、LDL-C、TB、ALT水平、调节性T细胞比例均是发生Ⅲ~Ⅳ级栓塞综合征主要症状的危险因素(P < 0.05, P < 0.01)。 结论 葛根芩连汤对湿热瘀毒型HCC患者TACE术后栓塞综合征有一定的疗效。 Abstract:OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy of Gegen Qinlian Decoction on embolization syndrome after transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with the syndrome of damp-heat and stasis-toxin. METHODS From January 2019 to December 2021, a total of 100 HCC patients with the syndrome of damp-heat and stasis-toxin in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital were selected and randomly divided into 50 cases in the control group and 50 cases in the treatment group (with 3 cases dropped out). Both groups received TACE treatment, and the control group was treated with conventional western medicine after surgery, while the treatment group was given with Gegen Qinlian Decoction granules based on the treatment in the control group. The course of treatment in both groups was two weeks. The gradation and duration of the main symptoms of post-TACE embolism syndrome were recorded during the treatment period. In addition, the changes in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score were assessed before and after the treatment. Besides, we measured the liver function indicators [Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Total bilirubin (TB), Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)], lipid metabolism related indexes [Total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)], as well as the expression levels of immune indexes (relative ratio of CD4+, CD8+, regulatory T cells and CD4+/CD8+), and also performed the morbidity factor correlation analysis. RESULTS Within two weeks of treatment, patients in the treatment group had less severe fever, nausea, and vomiting than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the duration of major symptoms was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndromes in both groups alleviated significantly (P < 0.01), but the treatment group had better improvement in fever, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, and total score than the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Thus, the efficacy of TCM syndromes was better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). On top of that, the liver function, lipid metabolism, and immune-related indexes showed better results in both groups than before treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), while the results relevant to serum ALT, TB, TC, TG and LDL-C were better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Moreover, the expression levels of peripheral blood CD4+, regulatory T cells, as well as CD4+/CD8+ in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). It is worth noting that TG, LDL-C, TB, ALT levels, and regulatory T-cell ratio were risk factors for the development of major symptoms of III-Ⅳ embolic syndrome (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Gegen Qinlian Decoction is effective in post-TACE embolization syndrome in HCC patients with the syndrome of damp-heat and stasis-toxin. -
