Abstract:
Objective To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine Hewei Huashi Recipe on improving intestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. Methods 94 cases of patients who were undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were randomly collected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method. 47 cases in the control group were treated with conventional western medicine after operation, while other 47 cases in the observation group were treated with Hewei Huashi Decoction after operation. The efficacy of TCM syndromes, gastrointestinal function recovery, gastrointestinal mucosal barrier and intestinal microecological level were compared between the two groups after two weeks. Results In the observation group, the total effective rate of TCM syndromes after treatment was 95.74%, which was higher than 78.72% in the control group (P <0.05). In the observation group, the postoperative first exhaust time, full flow recovery time, first defecation time, abdominal distension disappearance time and bowel sound recovery time were shorter than those of the control group (P <0.05). In the observation group, the I-FABP after treatment was (53.53±5.96) μg/L, and the D-lactic acid level was (2.50±0.61) mmol/L, which were higher than the (58.96±5.11) μg/L and (3.15±0.78 ) mmol/L of the control group respectively (P <0.05). In the observation group, the number of intestinal lactobacilli after treatment was (8.83±1.01) lgCFU/ml, and the number of bifidobacteria was (9.15±0.86) lgCFU/ml, which were respectively more than those in the control group (7.90±1.12) lgCFU/ml and (8.66±1.05) lgCFU/ml, while the number of enterococci in the observation group was (6.25±0.92) lgCFU/ml, which was less than (6.68±0.99) lgCFU/ml of the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion Postoperative treatment of gastrointestinal cancer patients with Hewei Huashi Decoction has a significant effect, which could help to improve the gastrointestinal function of the patient, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function as well as improve the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier and intestinal microecological level.
