[Compound ciprofloxacin suppository combined with ningbitai and yunnan baiyao for histological prostatitis with PSA elevation].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To explore the efficacy of compound ciprofloxacin suppository (CCS) combined with Ningbitai (NBT) and Yunnan Baiyao (YB) capsules in the treatment of histological prostatitis with elevated levels of PSA.

METHODS:

This study included 150 cases of type IIIA histological prostatitis, with PSA levels ranging from 4 to 50 microg/L. After 1 month's treatment with oral Levofloxacin tablets at 0.5 g qd, the PSA levels remained high in 86 patients. Prostate cancer was excluded by transrectal ultrasound-guided prostatic biopsy, and histological prostatitis was confirmed in 65 patients, who were assigned to an experimental group (n=45) and a control group (n=20) to receive CCS combined with NBT and YB capsules and CCS with NBT only, respectively, both for 4 weeks. We determined the PSA levels, obtained NIH-CPSI scores before and after medication, and compared them between the two groups.

RESULTS:

The two groups were well balanced in demographics and baseline characteristics. After treatment, both showed significant differences in the PSA level, PSA density (PSAD) and CPSI scores from the baseline (P<0.05), and there were also statistically significant differences between the two groups in the changes of the PSA level and CPSI scores after medication (P = 0.029 and 0.001).

CONCLUSION:

Compound ciprofloxacin suppository combined with Ningbitai and Yunnan Baiyao capsules can significantly decrease the level of serum PSA and relieve related symptoms in III A histological prostatitis with PSA elevation, and Yunnan Baiyao capsules can significantly enhance the therapeutic effect.
