Clinical Observation of Yiqi Yangyin Tongbi Prescription on Rheumatoid Arthritis and Pulmonary Interstitial Lesions
Objective: To discuss the efficacy of Yiqi Yangyin Tongbi prescription for rheumatoid arthritis and pulmonary interstitial lesions (RA-ILD) and investigate its effects on serum matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9)
MMP-1
transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and surface antigen of Ⅱ type alveolar table cells (KL-6). Method: One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into control group (60 cases) and observation group (60 cases) by random number table and randomized block design. Patients in control group orally took celecoxib capsules
0.2 g/time
2 times/day.Cyclophosphamide tablets
100 mg/time
1 time/every 2 days.Prednisolone tablets
30 mg/time
1 time/day on every morning
and the dose was decreased after taking effect. Based on the treatment of control group
patients in observation group added Yiqi Yangyin Tongbi prescription
1 dose/day. The treatment course was 6 months for both groups. Before and after treatment
high resolution-CT (HRCT) was conducted and graded
and symptoms and signs were graded. Lung function
total lung capacity (TLC)
forced vital capacity (FVC)
forced vital capacity per minute (FEV1)
maximal voluntary ventilation per minute (MVV) and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) were detected before and after treatment. Levels of MMP-9
MMP-1
TGF-β1 and KL-6 were detected before and after treatment. Result: After treatment
scores of HRCT
symptoms and signs of patients in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Levels of TLC
FVC
FEV1%
MVV and DLCO in observation group were higher than those in control group after treatment (P<0.05
P<0.01).The levels of MMP-9
TGF-β1 and KL-6 were lower than those in control group
and level of MMP-1 was higher than that in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Yiqi Yangyin Tongbi prescription based on the immunosuppressive agents and hormone therapy can reduce score of HRCT
reduce area and degree of interstitial lung disease
ameliorate patients lung function
and relieve clinical symptoms. The mechanism may be associated with regulating levels of MMP-9
