Fifty Cases of Agkistrodon Halys Bite with Wind-fire Syndrome Treated by External Application of Snakebite Ointment Combined with Oral Administration of Chinese Herbal Medicine
To observe the clinical effect of external application of snakebite ointment combined with oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine in treating Agkistrodon Halys bite with wind-fire toxin syndrome, and explore its possible mechanism.
Methods
2
One hundred patients with Agkistrodon Halys bite were randomly divi-ded into treatment group and control group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group received routine treatment, while the treatment group was additionally treated with snakebite ointment once a day, and oral administration of 200 ml Chinese herbal medicine twice daily. Both groups were treated continuously for one week. The clinical effect of the two groups were observed. The symptom and sign scores before treatment and on the 3rd and 7th day of treatment were compared. The scores of swelling and pain and the levels of serum phospholipase A
2
(PLA
2
), prostaglandin E
2
(PGE
2
) and leukotriene B
4
(LTB
4
) were measured before and after treatment.
Results
2
The total effective rate of both groups was 100%, but the curative rate of the treatment group was 66.00% (33/50), significantly higher than 18.00% (9/50) of the control group (
P
<0.01). Compared to pre-treatment, the scores of symptoms and signs decreased significantly on the 3rd and 7th day during treatment in both groups, and more decreases were found when comparing the scores measured on the 7th day to those on the 3rd day (
P
<0.01), and when comparing the scores of treatment groups to those of the control group (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). After treatment, the scores of swelling and pain and the levels of serum PLA
2
and LTB
4
in both groups were lower than those before treatment, while the PGE
2
level was higher (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01); the treatment group had lower swelling and pain scores and serum PLA
2
and LTB
4
levels, as well as higher PGE
2
level than the control group (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01).
Conclusion
2
Compared to conventional treatment, the adjuvant therapy of snakebite ointment combined with oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine can improve swelling and pain symptoms and increase the clinical effect of treating Agkistrodon Halys bite with wind-fire toxin syndrome, the mechanism of which may be related to the regulation of PLA
2
-mediated inflammatory pathway and the reduction of inflammatory response.
