Clinical Efficacy of Shegan Mahuangtang and Effect on Serum Cytokines, OPN and TIMP-1 in Acute Asthmatic Childhood
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Shegan Mahuangtang and its effect on interleukin-6 (IL-6)
interleukin-8 (IL-8)
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
high sensitive-C reaction protein (hs-CRP)
osteopontin (OPN) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in acute asthmatic childhood. Method: The 161 children in acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma treated in our hospital from November 2014 to April 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups according to the admitted order
with 81 cases in treatment group and 80 cases in control group.Patients in control group were treated with the routine western medicine therapy
while patients in treatment group were treated with Shegan Mahuangtang which was decocted by clear water
one dose per day.Then their clinical efficacy and effects on serum cytokines
OPN and TIMP-1 in acute asthmatic childhood were compared between two groups; in addition
adverse reactions were observed in two groups. Result: The total effective rate was 93.83% in treatment group
higher than 81.25% in control group (P<0.05).The levels of IL-6
IL-8
TNF-α and hs-CRP in serum were decreased after treatment in both groups (P<0.05)
and the above levels in treatment were lower than those in control group after treatment (P<0.05).The expression levels of OPN and TIMP-1 were also decreased in both groups after treatment (P<0.05)
and the levels in treatment group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05).Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05)
and the TCM syndrome scores in treatment group were lower than those in control group after treatment (P<0.05).In addition
there was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between two groups. Conclusion: Shegan Mahuangtang is very effective in treating children in acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma.It can significantly lower the value of serum cytokines
OPN and TIMP-1
improve the TCM syndrome score
and the mechanism may be related to decreasing the levels of cytokines and reducing the expression levels of OPN and TIMP-1.
