摘要
Objective: To investigate the relation of blood arsenic concentration(BAC) with clinical effect and safety of arsenic-containing Qinghuang Powder(青黄散, QHP) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS). Methods: Totally 163 patients with MDS were orally treated with QHP for 2 courses of treatment, 3 months as 1 course. The BACs of patients were detected by atomic fluorescence spectrophotometry at 1, 3, and 6 months during the treatment, and the effective rate, hematological improvement and safety in patients after treatment with QHP were analyzed. Results: After 2 courses of treatment, the total effective rate was 89.6%(146/163), with 31.3%(51/163) of hematological improvement and 58.3%(95/163) of stable disease. The hemoglobin increased from 73.48±19.30 g/L to 80.39±26.56 g/L(P<0.05), the absolute neutrophil count increased from 0.81±0.48×10~9/L to 1.08±0.62×10~9/L(P<0.05), and no significant changes were observed in platelet counts(P>0.05). Among 46 patients previously depended on blood transfusion, 28.3%(13/46) completely got rid of blood transfusion and 21.7%(10/46) reduced the volume of blood transfusion by more than 50% after treatment. The BACs were significantly increased in patients treated for 1 month with 32.17±18.04 μg/L(P<0.05), 3 months with 33.56±15.28 μg/L(P<0.05), and 6 months with 36.78±11.92 μg/L(P<0.05), respectively, as compared with those before treatment(4.08±2.11 μg/L). There were no significant differences of BACs among the patients treated for 1, 3 and 6 months(P>0.05). The adverse reactions of digestive tract during the treatment were mild abdominal pain and diarrhea in 14 cases(8.6%), and no patients discontinued the treatment. The BACs of patients with gastrointestinal adverse reactions were significantly lower than those without gastrointestinal adverse reactions(22.39±10.38 vs. 37.89±11.84, μg/L, P<0.05). The BACs of patients with clinical effect were significantly higher than those failed to treatment(40.41±11.69 vs. 23.84±12.03, μg/L, P<0.05). Conclusion: QHP was effective and safe in the treatment of patients with MDS and the effect was associated with BACs of patients.
