title: Clinical observation in 102 cases of chronic pelvic inflammation treated with qi jie granules.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the therapeutic effects of Qi Jie Granule [see: symbol text] on chronic pelvic inflammation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The therapeutic effect, T-lymphocytic subgroups and indexes of blood rheology were observed when 102 cases of chronic pelvic inflammation in the treatment group were treated with Qi Jie Granule, and another 70 cases were treated with Qian Jin Pian as the controls.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total effective rate was 96.08% in the treatment group, but 84.29% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). Qi Jie Granule was also found effective in improving blood viscosity and regulating T-lymphocytic subgroups, and the difference before and after the treatment was also very significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The nature of chronic pelvic inflammation is qi deficiency and blood stasis in accordance with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). As a drug that is indicated for chronic pelvic inflammation, its mechanism may be related to the improved blood circulation, accelerated inflammatory absorption and regulated immune function.
