Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating postoperative discomfort of lung cancer and / or reducing lung nodules and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85% of lung cancer, and surgery is one of the main means for treating non-small cell lung cancer. The basic principle of surgical treatment is to remove cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy lung tissue as possible to benefit the survival of patients. At present, thoracoscopic surgery is widely used in clinical practice due to its smaller trauma and higher safety than traditional open chest surgery, and the surgical procedures include lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection, etc. However, due to factors such as tissue resection, lymph node dissection, and anesthesia, postoperative clinical problems still exist after lung cancer surgery, and most patients experience postoperative discomfort symptoms, mainly including cough, sputum, chest tightness, chest pain, fatigue, etc. Research data shows that the incidence of postoperative cough after lung cancer surgery is 37.2% at discharge, 66.1% at 30 days after discharge, and 66.0% at 90 days after discharge. The incidence of pain is 55.7% at discharge, 23.7% at 30 days after discharge, and 12.0% at 90 days after discharge. The incidence of fatigue is 7.1% at discharge, 10.2% at 30 days after discharge, and 22.0% at 90 days after discharge. Cough is a common postoperative discomfort symptom in patients, with a high incidence of 30% to 50%. Due to intraoperative damage to lung tissue and glands, bronchial traction, and other factors, the airway is in a state of high reaction, and postoperative cough reflex increases. Short-term cough after lung cancer surgery can promote lung recruitment and remove secretions, but the cough symptoms of some patients can last for several months to several years, and persistent cough exacerbates the psychological burden of patients. Chronic pain after lung cancer surgery is mainly related to intercostal nerve damage, nerve sensitivity, and chronic inflammation, etc. The incidence of chronic pain after open chest surgery is 65%. Postoperative pain in lung cancer patients seriously affects their mood, and pain can limit the patient's cough and expectoration, which may cause complications such as pulmonary infection. In addition, after lobectomy or segmentectomy, the effective ventilation area of the lung decreases, causing ventilation and gas exchange disorders, and patients may experience chest tightness and dyspnea. Postoperative fatigue syndrome is also a common symptom after lung cancer surgery.

[0003] Postoperative discomfort symptoms can last for 3 months or more, even up to 5 years, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients, and the occurrence and persistence of postoperative symptoms are associated with a worse prognosis. Scientific evaluation and effective management of postoperative symptoms are conducive to the postoperative rehabilitation of patients. In terms of treatment, Western medicine adopts symptomatic treatment, and central or peripheral antitussive drugs are used to relieve cough, sputum dissolving agents are used to promote sputum excretion, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to relieve pain, however, Western medicine treatment has little effect on cough, sputum and pain, and has many adverse reactions, and lacks effective medical treatment for symptoms such as fatigue and chest tightness. In addition, 6% of patients with early lung cancer who undergo radical resection are accompanied by ground glass nodules that cannot be resected at the same time. In the development process from lung nodules to lung cancer, the doubling time of malignant solid nodules is mostly 30-400 days, while some solid nodules and ground glass density nodules often grow inertly, and their volume doubling time is significantly longer than 400 days. At present, there is a lack of medical treatment for lung nodules, and only follow-up observation is adopted. At present, there is a lack of effective treatment for postoperative symptom management and lung nodules in early lung cancer. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating postoperative discomfort symptoms of lung cancer and / or reducing lung nodules and its application. The traditional Chinese medicine composition provided by the present application has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, resolving phlegm and removing stasis, and can effectively relieve postoperative cough, fatigue and other discomfort symptoms of lung cancer and reduce lung nodules.
