Abstract
LIU and co-workers, Ninth People's Hospital of Chengdu, Sechuan Province 610016, report on clinical observations of 31 cases of chronic bronchitis treated with Bufei Keli.
Background
The study aimed at observing the effect of the Chinese medicine Bufei Keli, a medicine for invigorating the lung, in the treatment of chronic bronchitis in remission stage.
Methodology
62 patients with chronic bronchitis in remission stage were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group received Bufei Keli, and the control group received Yupingfeng Keli, another Chinese medicine.
Results
Patients in the treatment group showed a short-term improvement of 77.4% compared with 45.2% in the control group. Long-term relapse resistance was 74.2% in the treatment group compared to 38.7% in the control group. Moreover, patients in the treatment group showed larger increases in immunological parameters suggesting more resistance to infectious agents.
Conclusion
Bufei Keli can improve Qi deficiency and raise the immunity in patients with chronic bronchitis and so induce greater resistance to relapse.
