title: [Clinical observation of Qi deficiency syndrome in 72 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treated with yiqi mianyi granule].
abstract: Seventy-two patients of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of Qi deficiency syndrome with abnormal immune indices were treated with Yiqi Mianyi Granule (YQMYG) and the efficacy was compared with 30 cases treated with Zhenqi Fuzheng Granule (ZQFZG) for control. Results showed that the marked effective rate of symptomatic improvement of Qi Deficiency in YQMYG group was 65.3%, the total effective rate was 93.1%. 88.6% of the immune indices lower than normal were corrected and 43.7% of them were normalized, while for indices higher than normal the rate were 78.2% and 52.9% respectively. These results suggested that YQMYG could improve the symptom of Qi Deficiency markedly, strengthen the cellular immunity, regulate the disorder of immune function, its therapeutic efficacy was obviously superior to ZQFZG (P < 0.05).
