腹腔镜胆囊切除术(LC)是胆囊结石、胆囊炎、胆囊息肉等多种良性胆囊病变首选的治疗手段[1],与传统的开腹手术相比较,LC具有创伤小、出血少等优势,有利于患者术后康复[2]。但该手术受术前禁食水、术中麻醉、应激反应、电刀应用、二氧化碳气腹等因素影响,患者术后往往会产生胃肠功能紊乱,表现为腹腔胀气、腹部不适、胃肠功能下降等,甚至出现肠梗阻等严重并发症[3]。中医认为胆囊疾病主要病机为肝郁气滞,木旺则乘土,故多有纳差、腹胀等脾虚表现,加之手术所致脉络受损、气血瘀滞、耗气伤阴,故LC术后胃肠功能紊乱的主要病机为气滞血瘀、脾胃虚弱。中医治疗疾病以整体观念为指导,注重辨证论治,在胃肠疾病的治疗中具有一定优势[4]。穴位贴敷通过中药对穴位的刺激作用而产生生物波效应,从而促进经络、气血运行,改善气滞血瘀和脾虚症状,促进胃肠功能恢复[5]。中药灌肠也是中医常用的外治方法,对腹部手术患者实施中药灌肠有利于加快胃肠蠕动,改善胃肠动力和胃肠功能,促进患者康复[6]。本研究应用穴位贴敷联合中药灌肠干预LC术后胃肠功能紊乱,使两种治疗方案共同发挥作用,调节脏腑功能,促进术后胃肠功能恢复。

3 讨论

LC是普外科常用的手术方式,但术中受到麻醉药物的应用、手术的牵拉刺激、浆膜损伤等因素的影响,容易产生浆液渗出,进而导致胃肠功能紊乱,不利于营养物质的吸收,还会损伤肠黏膜的屏障功能,并可能伴随肠源性感染;对患者术后康复产生负面影响[8]。中医理论根据本病的临床特点将其归属为“肠结”“痞满”“呕吐”等范畴,与久病、外邪侵袭、金刃损伤等有关,胆为奇恒之腑,术前久病成疾,多伴有纳差、腹胀等脾胃虚弱症状,手术虽解除局部病变,但其病机仍存,且术中金刃损伤肌肉经络,致瘀血形成,气滞血瘀,进一步损及脾胃,脾胃升降失职,致胃肠功能紊乱[9]

中药穴位外敷是中药方剂与经络腧穴理论相结合而产生的中医外治方法,这种方法充分发挥药物、腧穴、经络功效,共同调节脏腑功能和机体阴阳平衡,从而治疗和预防疾病[10]。根据“经脉所过,主治所及”的原则,故治疗胃肠疾病取穴应以足阳明胃经穴位为主。本研究所选足三里、天枢均为足阳明胃经穴位,其中足三里具有调理脾胃、行滞销胀、宽中理气、通经活络等作用,主治胃肠病症[11];天枢为大肠之募穴,可升降气机、调和中焦,主治腹痛、腹胀、便秘等胃肠病症[12];中脘为胃之募穴,具有健脾和胃、补齐降逆的作用,主治呃逆、呕吐、反胃等症[13]。本研究所应用中药理气贴组方由生大黄、延胡索、吴茱萸等药物组成,其中生大黄可泄下攻积、通降肠胃,吴茱萸可辛散止痛、降逆止呕。枳壳破气消痞,厚朴降气除满,可助大黄泄痞宽胀;附子可行气止痛;延胡索、川芎、赤芍活血化瘀、行气消滞、条畅气血;木香当归可补血活血,陈皮健脾益气,两药配伍可助其他药物辛散活化之力,使散而不伤气,行而不伤血。全方配伍理气活血、健脾和胃兼顾,对LC术后胃肠功能紊乱标本兼治。

中药灌肠也是临床常用的中医外治方法之一,本法将中药药液灌肠,使中药直达患处,药液有效成分可直接通过直肠黏膜吸收入血,避免了中药口服的受过效应,减轻和药物对胃肠道刺激作用[14];本研究灌肠中药通腑汤是由大承气汤化裁而来,其中芒硝、大黄可泄下导滞,攻下破积,桃仁、赤芍活血祛瘀止痛,木香、枳壳行气止痛,炒莱菔子消胀行气;厚朴可下气除满。研究表明大承气汤可改善肠道微循环,减轻肠道水肿,促进肠道平滑肌收缩和肠内容物排出,加速胃肠功能的恢复[15]。本研究发现治疗后观察组肠鸣音恢复时间、首次排气时间和首次排便时间均少于对照组,术后第5天腹部胀痛评分和胃肠反应评分均低于对照组,治疗总有效率高于对照组,表明穴位贴敷联合中药灌肠可促进胃肠功能恢复,降低腹部胀痛评分和胃肠反应评分,提高LC术后胃肠功能紊乱的治疗效果。

胃肠激素是一种调节肽,可调节消化器官运动、分泌等生物学行为,胃肠激素的分泌异常是发生胃肠功能紊乱的重要因素[16]。SS可降低迷走神经张力,减弱迷走神经兴奋性,抑制胃动素分泌,进而对胃肠运动发挥抑制作用[17]。VIP是一种舒血管肠肽,由28个氨基酸组成,主要由肠道神经元释放,具有舒张肠道平滑肌、扩张血管的作用[18]。研究表明胃肠手术患者血清SS、VIP含量会显著升高,且升高程度可较好地反应患者胃肠功能紊乱状况[19]。本研究发现治疗后观察组血清SS、VIP含量均显著低于对照组,表明穴位贴敷联合中药灌肠可能通过多靶点多途径改善胃肠激素水平,促进胃肠功能的恢复。

综上所述,穴位贴敷联合中药灌肠可降低腹部胀痛评分和胃肠反应评分,改善血清SS、VIP,促进胃肠功能恢复,治疗LC术后胃肠功能紊乱效果显著。但本研究纳入病例数较少,穴位贴敷联合中药灌肠对LC术后胃肠功能紊乱的效果需要扩大样本量进一步验证,其改善胃肠激素水平的具体机制尚需深入探讨。

Abstract: [Objective] To investigate the clinical effect of acupoint application combined with Chinese medicine clysma on gastrointestinal function recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). [Methods] The 96 patients with benign gallbladder disease who received LC in the department of surgery of our hospital from June 2021 to December 2022 were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method, with 48 patients in each group. The control group received conventional Western medicine treatment after surgery, including oxygen inhalation, vital signs monitoring, water and electrolyte balance maintenance, anti-infection, etc. The retention enema of Tongfu Decoction was given at 8 hours after operation. The observation group was given acupoint application on this basis. Bowel sound recovery time, first exhaust time and first defecation time were compared between the two groups. Abdominal distension and pain scores, gastrointestinal reaction scores, serum somatostatin (SS) and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP) levels on day 1 and day 5 after surgery were compared between the two groups, and the total effective rate was compared between the two groups. [Results] The recovery time of bowel sound, first exhaust time and first defecation time of the observation group were less than those of the control group (P < 0.01). The abdominal pain score and gastrointestinal reaction score on the 5th day after surgery were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.01), the serum SS and VIP levels were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.01), and the total effective rate was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), the differences were statistically significant. [Conclusion] Acupoint application combined with Chinese medicine clysma can reduce abdominal distension pain score and gastrointestinal reaction score, improve serum SS and VIP, promote gastrointestinal function recovery, and it has a significant effect in the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction after LC.
