Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with antituberculosis drugs in the treatment of tuberculosis of lung-yin deficiency type and its influence on the immune function of patients.Methods A total of 104 patients with of lung-yin deficiency type tuberculosis admitted to the Third People′s Hospital of Wuzhou City from August 2020 to May 2021 were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into the observation group (n=52) and the control group (n=52) using random number table method.The control group was treated with conventional anti-tuberculosis drugs,and the observation group was treated with acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of the control group.Both groups continued treatment for 8 weeks.The clinical treatment effect,pulmonary function indexes (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1],forced vital capacity[FVC]),traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores,quality of life scores and immune function indicators (CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD3+) before and after treatment of the two groups were compared.Results The clinical efficacy of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in the lung function indexes,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores,quality of life scores and immune function indexes between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the levels of FEV1 and FVC of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the quality of life score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The levels of CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and CD3+ of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,and the level of CD8+ of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with anti-tuberculosis drugs has a definite curative effect in the treatment of tuberculosis of lung-yin deficiency type,which can further improve the clinical treatment effect,effectively improve lung function,significantly alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients,improve their quality of life,and significantly improve immune function.
