title: [Clinical observation on treatment of radiation pneumonia by Qingjin Runfei Decoction combined with hormone and antibiotic].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the curative effect of Qingjin Runfei Decoction (QRD) combined with hormone and antibiotic in treating radiation pneumonia (RP).
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients were randomly assigned to two groups, the control group (51 cases) treated with hormone and antibiotic and the treated group (53 cases) with the above therapy plus QRD. The curative effects on RP, quality of life (QOL), chest radiography and TCM symptoms were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The curative effects on the above items in the treated group were all significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  QRD could enhance the effects of hormone and antibiotic in treating RP, as well as improve QOL of the patients.
