Chinese herba preparation for treating radiation pneumonitis

Abstract

The invention relates to a Chinese herba preparation for treating radiation pneumonitis. The Chinese herba preparation comprises oldenlandia diffusa, giant knotweed rhizome, mother chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, platycodon grandiflorum, pepperweed seed, dandelion, radix scrophulariae, forsythia, reed rhizome, herba lysimachiae, folium Isatidis, fructus gardeniae, dendrobium, radix curcumae, salix leaf, and musk. The Chinese herba preparation has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, dispersing blood stasis and freeing lung, eliminating carbuncle and eliminating stagnation, and regulating vital energy and relieving cough. After taking, the drug is directly acted on the respiratory system, so as to improve meionectic blood, control infection, prevent lung blood capillary and arteriole from hyperaemia, expansion and embolism, and inhibit the reduction of the gas exchange function and the increase of the pulmonary artery pressure caused by the lung inside fibrosis, alveolar septum thickening, pulmonary alveoli atrophy or blood vessel wall thickening, glassy degeneration and hardening, lumen narrowing or blockage. The Chinese herba preparation reduces the blood vessel permeability, promote the respiratory system and the blood system to recovery the self-regulation function, and finally reach the purpose of healing the radiation pneumonitis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicines, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine preparation for treating radiation pneumonitis. Background technique [0002] Radiation pneumonitis is an inflammatory reaction caused by damage to normal lung tissue in the radiation field after radiation therapy of the lung, mediastinum, tumor, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, malignant lymphoma or other tumors in the chest. Mild cases are asymptomatic, and the inflammation dissipates spontaneously; severe cases develop extensive pulmonary fibrosis, leading to respiratory function damage and even respiratory failure. Due to radiation pneumonitis, it can be found that the skin atrophy and hardening in the radiation part of the chest, the lung compliance decreases, and the vital capacity, total lung capacity, residual volume, and forced expiratory volume in the first second decrease, which is manifested as restrictive ventilatory disord...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, for the treatment of radiation pneumonitis, Western medicine often uses large doses of antibiotics plus hormones, but the side effects are relatively large. In traditional Chinese medicine, radiation pneumonitis is considered to be in the category of cough and lung atrophy. Its pathogenesis is heat toxin, yin deficiency, qi deficiency, congestion, Phlegm dampness
