RESULTS
The cure rate was 68.3%, the total effective rate was 76.0%, and the average course of treatment was (8.1+/-3.4) months for Group A; the cure rate was 90.0%, the total effective rate was 96.6%, and the average course of treatment was (5.1+/-2.3) months for Group B. The therapeutic effect in Group B was better than that in Group A (P<0.05). The treatment period in Group B was shorter than that in Group A (P<0.05).
