Objective: To study the clinical efficacy of Weijingtang combined with Maxing Shigan Tang and investigate its effect on T cell subset and inflammatory cytokines in treating stroke-associated pneumonia with phlegm-hot in the lung. Method: The 207 cases of patients with stroke-associated pneumonia treated in our hospital from March 2014 to March 2016
were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table
with 104 cases in treatment group and 103 cases in control group. Patients in two groups were treated by routine western medicine
while the treatment group was also given with additive Weijingtang combined with Maxing Shigan Tang. Then the treatment efficacy and related indicators
T cell subset and inflammatory cytokines of two groups were compared. Result: The total effective rate was 94.23% in treatment group
higher than 81.55% in control group (P<0.05). The relieving time for fever and cough in treatment group was significantly shorter than that in control group (P<0.05); as compared with the conditions before treatment
both groups had improvement in body temperature
respiration
and heart rate
and the above indicators in treatment group were significantly better than those in control group after treatment (P<0.05). After the treatment
the levels of CD3+
CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ were significantly increased in both groups
but the level of CD8+ was significantly decreased (P<0.05). As compared with the control group
the levels of CD3+
CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ were significantly higher in the treatment group
while the level of CD8+ was significantly lower (P<0.05). As compared with the conditions before treatment
hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hr-CRP)
and procalciton in (PCT) were decreased in both groups after treatment
and the levels in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Weijingtang combined with Maxing Shigan Tang can significantly improve clinical efficacy and cardio-pulmonary function of stroke-associated pneumonia with phlegm-hot in the lung
strengthen the immune system and reduce the level of serum inflammatory cytokines
