Abstract: Objective To investigate the efficacy of compound licorice oral liquid combined with prednisone in patients with acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Methods A total of 128 patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis admitted to Zhangye Second People's Hospital from January 2020 to October 2023 were divided into two groups by random number table method,with 64 patients in each group．The control group received prednisone treatment,while the observation group received compound licorice oral liquid combined with prednisone treatment．Compare its clinical efficacy,serum pulmonary fibrosis indicators and inflammatory factor levels before and after treatment,and finally compare its incidence of adverse reactions. Results The total response rate in the observation group was 93.75%,which was higher than the 79.69% in the control group（χ²=5.490,P=0.019）．There was no difference between the two groups of LN,PC-III,and HA（P>0.05）,LN,PC-III and HA were decreased in both groups,while the observation group[（89.25±7.61）μg/L;（68.33±7.68）mg/L;（81.53±8.54）μg/L] was lower than the control group[（96.17±8.34）μg/L;（75.68±8.25）mg/L;（95.68±9.25）μg/L],the contrast difference was statistically significant（t₁=4.903,P₁<0.001;t₂=5.217,P₂<0.001;t₃=8.992,P₃<0.001）．There was no difference in TNF-α,IL-4,IL-10,and TGF-β1 between the two groups before treatment（P>0.05）,lower levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-10,and TGF-β1 in the two patient groups after treatment,the observation group[（61.94±8.24）ng/L;（4.43±1.17）ng/mL;（65.49±13.24）g/L;（114.73±13.12）pg/mL] was lower than the control group[（75.52±9.43）ng/L;（6.31±1.28）ng/mL;（79.27±9.38）g/L;（147.76±15.46）pg/mL],the contrast difference was statistically significant（t₁=8.675,P₁<0.001;t₂=8.673,P₂<0.001;t₃=6.794,P₃<0.001;t₄=13.032,P₄<0.001）．There was no difference in the incidence of adverse effects between the two groups（7.81% vs 6.25%,χ²=120,P=0.730）. Conclusions The combination of compound licorice oral liquid and prednisone has a significant therapeutic effect on the acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis．It can assist in delaying the progression of pulmonary fibrosis in patients,reducing the body's inflammatory response,and has high safety．
