Aim To study the nutritional status of the pneumonia patients in the aged and the effect of Dusuqing.Methods 19 normal young persons
20 normal aged persons and 30aged patients with pneumonia were enrolled to assess the nutritional status and the effect of Dusuqing.Results Anthropometrics measurements had an increase tendency after therpy in pneumonia groups. The contents of TRF
T 3
T 4
TSH
Co
IGF in aged group were lower than those in young group.The TRF
T 3
IGF-Ⅱlevel in pneumonia group were lower than those in normal aged group
but the Co and IL-β level in pneumonia group were high abviously compared with those in normal aged group. The TRF
T 3
IGF-Ⅱ level increased obviously
especially in Dusuqing group.The Co content decreased in both group after therapy
especially in Dusuqing group.The IL-Ⅰβ level decreased in Dusuqing group after therapy.Conclusion Malnutrition was one of the pathological characteristics of the aged pneumonia patients and Dusuqing could change this conditions.
