Mifepristone was administered to the control group and mifepristone combined with Guizhi Fuling Capsules was administered to the observation group. The levels of hemoglobin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), sex hormones, tumor markers, and inflammatory factors before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Result:The levels of hemoglobin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), sex hormones, tumor markers, and inflammatory factors before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. After treatment, hemoglobin levels increased significantly in the two groups, VEGF, sex hormones FSH, LH and E2, tumor markers HE4, CA125, inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ levels decreased significantly. The hemoglobin level of the observation group was (117.09±11.51) g/L higher than that of the control group , and the level of VEGF was (0.69±0.06) pg/mL lower than that of the control group. The levels of sex hormone FSH, LH and E2 in the observation group were (15.87±1.56) U/L, (10.69±1.06) U/L and (4.95±0.51) pmol/L lower than those of the control group. The levels of HE4, CA125, TNF-α and IFN-γ gamma in the observation group were (52.47±5.24) pmol/L, (15.46±1.53) U/mL, (40.41±4.05) and (16.72±1.62) pg/mL lower than those of the control group.Conclusion:Guizhi Fuling Capsule can significantly improve the level of sex hormones and tumor markers, relieve inflammatory stress and improve the therapeutic effect.展开更多
