RESUMEN
Objective To understand cognition level and treatment intention of patients with endometriosis(EMs);To evaluate the effects of TCM chronic disease management on EMs patients.Methods The disease cognition level and treatment intention of 1 895 EMs patients from October 2020 to December 2021 in 19 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities were analyzed through cross-sectional investigation.The cognitive effect of chronic disease management of TCM on 801 patients with EMs from 6 Grade A hospitals in Beijing was evaluated by self-control study.Results The cognition level of EMs patients for the disease was improved with the increase of educational background.Patients generally believed that EMs was a chronic disease,requiring regular review and long-term management.The proportion of patients with high school education or below,junior college education,bachelor degree or above who knew the possibility of malignant changes in EMs was less,only 32.3%,41.6%and 47.7%,respectively.The awareness rate of patients with high school education or below for recurrence after EMs conservative surgery was 46.9%,lower than that of those with junior college education(66.8%)and bachelor degree or above(72.7%).Among the patients with dietary contraindications,the proportion of patients with high school education or below,junior college education,bachelor degree or above who knew the contraindication of the forest frog oil was less,only 20.7%,30.3%and 32.9%,respectively.In the aspect of life adjustment,the awareness of patients was generally high.EMs patients mainly recognized the disease through face-to-face communication with gynecologists.Only 34.4%of patients with high school education or below learned about EMs through WeChat public accounts,APPs and other new media,which was lower than those with junior college education(48.6%)and bachelor degree or above(55.4%).EMs patients generally tend to be treated in comprehensive hospitals,with high acceptance of TCM treatment,mainly TCM decoction,and low acceptance of TCM appropriate technology.After 1 year of TCM chronic disease management,the disease awareness of EMs patients was significantly improved compared with before management,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion EMs patients with different educational backgrounds have different cognition of the disease,and each has different emphasis.Education and popularization should be carried out according to their knowledge blind spots.Chronic disease management of TCM can improve the disease cognition level of EMs patients.
RESUMEN
Objective Based on the immunologic balance, to investigate the mechanisms of Danchi decoction for controlling the recurrence of endometriosis (EMs) of qi stagnation and blood stasis after conservative operation. Methods A multi-center and randomized clinical trial was adopted. EMs patients were divided into Chinese medicine group (CG, 20 cases) and western medicine group (WG, 10 cases). The two groups were given Danchi decoction and GnRH-a or gestrinone respectively for 3 months. The serum IL-2, IL-6 and IL-2/IL-6 were detected before operation, after 3 months of treatment and 3 months after withdrawal, and compared with the control group (5 cases of simple ovarian cysts). Results Before operation, the serum IL-2 level of CG and WG was lower than control group (P0.05), but 3 months after withdrawal, IL-2/IL-6 of WG was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Immune imbalance is closely related to the occurrence and development of EMs. Danchi Decoction or GnRH-a or gestrinone can prevent the recurrence of EMs by adjusting the disorder of immune response, and Danchi Decoction has better effect on long-term result.
