Objective:To investigate the effect of modified Shengjiangsan on pleural effusion adenosine deaminase (ADA)
immune function
T lymphocytes and inflammatory factors in the treatment of chest and hypochondrium fluid-retention type tuberculous pleurisy. Method:The 120 patients with tuberculous pleurisy from our hospital in March 2014 to March 2016 were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group received thoracic cavity drainage+anti-tuberculosis routine drug treatment
and observation group received received modified Shengjiangsan based on the treatment in control group. Pleural effusion
inflammatory factors
immune index
Chinese medicine syndrome scores and clinical curative effect were compared after the treatment for 2 months. Result:After treatment for 2 months
the total effective rate was 91.11% in observation group
significantly higher than 73.33% in control group (P<0.05); pleural effusion ADA levels were significantly lower than the levels before treatment in both groups (P<0.05)
and the level in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment for 2 months
the immunoglobulin(IgA
IgG
IgM) and T lymphocytes (CD3+
CD4+) were increased
while the levels of TGF-β1
IL-6
IL-8 and TNF-α were decreased
and the symptom scores of fever
chest pain
shortness of breath and cough were decreased in both groups (P<0.05); as compared with control group
the levels of immunoglobulin (IgA
IgG
IgM) and T lymphocytes (CD3+
CD4+) in observation group were higher
while the levels of TGF-β1
IL-6
IL-8 and TNF-α were lower
and the symptom scores of fever
chest pain
shortness of breath and cough were lower(P<0.05). Pleural effusion drainage
pleural effusion disappearing time
hospitalization time and pleural thickness in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05). All the patients were followed up
no cases of falling
with no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions incidence between two groups. Conclusion:With clear effect in the treatment of tuberculous pleurisy
modified Shengjiangsan can significantly reduce the thickness and inflammatory factors of the pleura
