Methods: 120 NSCLC patients with the diagnosis of both radiotherapy-related pneumonia and deficiency of Qi and Yin were randomly divided into the treatment group and the model group. The patients in treatment group were given Qingfei power plus regular treatment and those in the model group were given the regular treatment. The period of observation is 30 days. Results: The combination of effective and markedly effective ratio in patients treated with Qingfei power was much higher than that in patients with regular treatment (70% vs 51.7%, P=0.04). Conclusion: Qingfei power could nourish Qi and Yin as well as clear away lung-heat and dispel phlegm, leading to the relief of clinical symptom in NSCLC patients with radiotherapy-related pneumonia. It demonstrates that the deficiency of both Qi and Yin maybe the main Zheng pattern of patients with radiotherapy-related pneumonia.展开更多
