Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of Yiqi Huatan Quyu recipe(therapy of supplementing qi,resolving phlegm and removing blood stasis)on eustachian tube function in patients undergoing correction of deviation of nasal septum(DNS).Methods A total of 110 patients who underwent correction of DNS from June 2019 to June 2022 were selected and divided into observation group(n =55)and control group(n =55)by random number table method.The two groups were treated with surgery for correction of DNS,and the observation group was treated with Yiqi Huatan Quyu recipe.The eustachi-an tube function of the two groups was evaluated by the seven-item Eustachian tube Dysfunction Symptom Scale(ETDQ-7)be-fore and after operation.Nasal resistance and nasal mucociliary delivery rate before and after operation were detected by nasal resistance meter and saccharin test,respectively,to evaluate the nasal mucosal injury.The occurrence of otitis media after op-eration was recorded in the two groups.The content of eustachian tube surfactant(ETS)phospholipid in irrigation fluid of eu-stachian tube before and after operation was determined by spectrophotometer.Results The ETDQ-7 score of the two groups was lower than that before treatment,and lower in the observation group than in the control group(P＜0.01).The nasal re-sistance value and the delivery rate of nasal mucocilia in both groups were lower than those before operation.The nasal resist-ance value of observation group was lower than that of control group,and the delivery rate of nasal mucocilia was higher than that of control group(P＜0.01).The incidence of postoperative otitis media in the observation group was 3.64%(2/55),which was lower than that in the control group[18.18%(10/55)](P＜0.05).The content of ETS phospholipid in irrigation fluid of pharyngodryngeal tube in the two groups was higher than that before treatment,and higher in observation group than in control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Yiqi Huatan Quyu recipe can promote the recovery of eustachian tube function in pa-tients undergoing correction of DNS,contribute to the repair of nasal mucosa,and produce fewer complications.
