Abstract
AIM: To observe the effect of Qingre Huayu decoction (QHD) on the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lipid peroxide (LPO) in old patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
METHODS: A total of 160 cases of old patients with GERD were randomly divided into group A (n = 80) and B (n = 80), treated with QHD and Western medicine, respectively. The serum contents of SOD and LPO before and after treatment were detected by double antibody method and thiobarbituric acid reaction, respectively. The results were analyzed with t-test statistically.
RESULTS: After treatment, SOD content was increased in both groups, but got close to the normal level in group A. There was significant difference between group A and B (26.01 ± 2.56 kU/L vs 23.02 ± 2.54 kU/L, P < 0.05). However, the content of LPO was decreased in both groups after treatment, and there was also significant difference between group A and B (4.19 ± 0.52 mol/L vs 4.96 ± 1.13 mol/L, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: QHD has a favorable effect in the treatment of GERD by ameliorating the metabolic disorder of free radicals.
