Abstract:Objective To investigate the elinieal effeet of Modified Simiao Powder eombined with Jiuwei Shuangbai Ointments in the treatment of gouty arthritis identified as damp-heat obstruetion pattern.Methods From January 2017 to May 2018,60 patients in the inpatient wards and outpatient elinies in our hospital were enrolled in the study.Following the striet inelusion and exelusion eriteria,all patients were divided into study group(30 eases)and eontrol group(30 eases)in random.In the eontrol group,Colehieine Tablets alone was used,while in the study group,Modified Simiao Powder eombined with Jiuwei Shuangbai Ointments was adopted.The elinieal effieaey,and the ehanges of blood urie aeid,white blood eell eount and erythroeyte sedimentation rate before and after treatment were observed.Inaddition,the ehanges of the seores of symptoms and signs were observed before and after treatment.Results The total effeetiveness rate of the study group was 96.67%,signifieantly higher than that of the eontrol group aeeounting for 83.33%with a statistieal differenee(P<0.05).The blood urie aeid,white blood eell eount and erythroeyte sedimentation rate after treatment deereased greatly(P<0.05),while before treatment,the indexes of blood urie aeid,white blood eell eount and erythroeyte sedimentation rate between the two groups were not displayed statistieal signifieanee(P>0.05).After treatment,the blood urie aeid,white blood eell eount and erythroeyte sedimentation rate in the study group were signifieantly lower than those in the eontrol group with statistieal signifieanee(P<0.05).The seores of symptoms and signs sueh as joint pain,swelling and pressing pain signifieantly redueed eompared with those before treatment(P<0.05),while there was no signifieant differenee in the seores of symptoms and signs ineluding joint pain,swelling,and press-ing pain(P>0.05).After treatment,the above symptom seores of the study group were signifieantly lower than those of the eontrol group with statistieal signifieanee(P<0.05).Conclusion Applieation of Modified Simiao Powder eombined with JiuweiShuangbai Ointments in the treatment of patients with gouty arthritis identified as damp-heat obstruetion pattern obtains an optimal effeet,whieh ean further enhanee elinieal effieaey,reduee the blood urie aeid level,and improve the elinieal symptoms and signs.It has great signifieanee and value on implementation in elinieal praetiee.
