Abstract:
Objective
To observe the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation in treating refractory wounds.
Methods
Fifty patients with refractory wounds treated in the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery and Wound Repair Surgery, the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from March to August 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group randomly according to the random number table method, with 25 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional treatment such as debridement and dressing changes, and the observation group was given traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on the basis of the conventional treatment.The clinical efficacy, granulation histopathologic changes, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, growth factor and total complication rate were compared between the two groups.
Results
The total effective rate of the observation group (96.00%) was higher than that of the control group(72.00%),χ2=5.357,P=0.021.After treatment,the number of new capillaries,fibroblasts and macrophages in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (t=20.485,16.071,8.992;P<0.001).The VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (t= 10.645,P <0.001).The levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (t=7.925,11.344,4.892,10.365; P<0.001).The total complication rate of the observation group (4.00%) was lower than that of the control group (32.00%),χ2=6.640,P=0.010.
Conclusion
Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation can effectively improve the clinical efficacy of refractory wounds, promote the growth of new granulation tissue, reduce the wound pain, increase the expression of growth factor, and reduce the incidence of complications.
