Objective:To investigate clinical therapeutic effect of Qidan Granule on pulmonary interstitial fibrosis(PIF).Methods:The treatment group(105 cases)were treated by Qidan Granule
3 times a day
and the control group(60 cases)were treated by prednisone
0.5mg/kg
for 3~6 months.The patients were followed up once every 1~3 months.Changes of symptoms
signs and high-resolution computed tomogram(HRCT)and pulmonary function were investigated after treatment.Results:After treatment of 6 months
the improvement rate of symptoms and signs in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P<0. 05 or P<0.01);After treatment for 3 or 6 months
the improvement rates of HRCT and the pulmonary function in the treatment group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:Qidan Granule can improve symptoms and signs of the patient with pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in varying degrees and stop exacerbation of pulmonary function with no adverse effect.
