METHODS: Computer retrieved CNKI, VIR CBM and other databanks and manual operations retrieved correlative literatures to find randomized con- trolled trials (RCTs) about comparison between point application or adjuvant therapy and no-point-applications for treatment of chronic ob- structive pulmonary disease in stationary phase in China. RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta anal- ysis. RESULTS: Among 3481 cases in the inclusive 32 RCTS, 1780 cases were in the test group and 1701 cases in the control group. Meta analysis indicated: I) clinical efficacy: the groups containing point ap- plication therapy all were better than the groups ofno-point-application; 2) force vital capacity (FVC): There was no statistically significant difference be- tween the group of point application plus Western Medicine and the Western Medicine group; 3) force expiratory volume 1 (FEVl): The groups containing point application therapy were better than the no-point-application; 4) FEV1% : the groups of point application plus Western Medicine were bet- ter than the Western Medicine groups; 5) FEVl/FVC: there was a significant difference between the group of point application plus Chinese drugs and the group of Chinese drug. CONCLUSION: Point application can increase clini- cal efficacy of chronic obstructive pulmonary dis- ease in stationary phase in varying degrees, and dif- ferent combinations of point application with Chi- nese drugs or Western Medicines have incomplete same actions in improvement of pulmonary func- tion and therapeutic effect.展开更多

METHODS: The literatures concerning randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs comparing TCM treatment plus Western Medicine (WM) treat- ment with TCM alone, orTCM treatment vs no treatment, placebo for stable phase of COPD were searched in PubMed (1990-December 2010), in Eng- lish and using Chinese National Knowledge Infra- structure (CNKI, 1990-December 2010), Chinese Bio- medical Database (1990-December 2010), Wang- fang Database (1990-December 2010), and Weipu (VlP) Database in Chinese. The quality assessment and data extraction for RCTs were conducted by two reviewers independently. Jadad scale and allo-cation concealment were used to assess the quality of the included studies, and meta-analyses were conducted with the Collaboration's Revman 5.0 software. RESULTS: Seventeen RCTs or quasi-RCTs involving 1269 patients were included. The methodological quality was poor in all trials except one trial (Jadad score=4). In the meta-analysis, TCM-WM treatment was significantly superior to WM treatment in cure rate [0R=3.82, 95%C/(2.45, 5.95)], and the effective rate between TCM treatment and placebo also had significant difference [0R=4.31, 95%C/(2.35, 7.91)]. Moreover, pulmonary function of the patients in TCM-WM group and TCM group was significantly improved [forced vital capacity (FVC), P=O.01, quali- ty of life, P〈O.O01 ]. CONCLUSION: The experience in TCM-WM treat- ment of COPD in stable phase was encouraging. The current evidence shows that TCM-WM treat- ment might be more efficient in effective rate, qual- ity of life, and FVC than WM treatment alone. But for forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVl) and FEV1/FVC, no matter TCM-WM treatment com- pared with WM treatment alone or TCM treatment compared with placebo, there was no significant difference, with no obvious adverse reactions. Due to the low methodological quality of trials includ- ed, more RCTs of high quality in large scale are re- quired.展开更多
