Objective:To study the effects of Shukang Pingchuan Capsule(SKPCC) on IFN-γ
IL-4
IL-5 and IFN-γ/IL-4 in Asthmatic Rats.Methods:Rats are divided into 6 groups:normal control group
asthmatic model group
SKPCC with large
medium
and small dose group
and hormone(dexamethasone) group.Asthmatic model was established by sensitizing and challenging rats with OVA.The level of IFN-γ
IL-4 and IL-5 and the IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio in BALF was measured by ELISA.Results:The IFN-γ level was higher(P<0.05)
the IL-4 and IL-5 level significantly lower(P<0.01 or P<0.05) in large and medium SKPCC treatment group compared with asthmatic model group.The IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio in SKPCC treatment group was significantly higher than that in asthmatic model group(P<0.01).Conclusion:SKPCC can adjust Th1/Th2 in asthmatic rats
inhibite the inflammation in trachea and lower its high reaction
which may be one of the mechanisms of SKPCC in treating asthma.
