To observe the clinical curative effect of Huangqi Jianzhong decoction on chronic nephritis and the impact on the immune response mechanism.Methods:A total of 80 cases of chronic nephritis who received and cured in our hospital during January 2013-March 2015 included into the research, were randomly divided into the simple western medicine group (WM group) and Integration of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine group (ITCWM group), with 40 cases in each group.Two groups of patients were both given the medicine treatment.The WM group had valsartan (160 mg/times, 1 time/day) combined atorvastatin (20 mg/times, 1 times/day) on the basic treatment, and the ITCWM group had Huangqi Jianzhong decoction on the basic therapeutic schedule of WM group, 1 agent / day, 200 mL warm-taken in the morning and evening.Both of the two groups had 6 months for a period of treatment.24 h urine protein quantitative Upro (24 h Upro), urine beta globulin (Uβ2-MG),Serum creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), CD4+, CD8+, Th17 cell content, the changes of the IL-17 concentration of the two groups before and after treatment were tested and compared.Results:1) Spiritlessness, soreness of waist, edema, night frequent micturition, eat less, loose stool symptom scores of two groups were less than before treatment (P<0.05), and the total symptom integrals also reduced than before treatment (P<0.05).The ITCWM group reduced more significantly (P<0.05); 2) After treatment, 24 h Upro, Uβ2-MG, SCr, BUN and UAER levels in the two groups were lower than before treatment (P<0.05), and ITCWM group were lower than the WM group.3) After treatment, the TC, LDL, TG levels were lower than before treatment (P<0.05), and HDL levels were higher than before treatment (P<0.05).The improving trend of ITCWM group were much obviously than the WM group (P<0.05).4) CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+ / CD8+ ratio of the two groups were higher than before treatment (P<0.05), and the contents of Th17 and IL-17 were lower than before treatment (P<0.05).After treatment, the differences between ITCWM group and WM group were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion:Huangqi Jianzhong decoction can effectively treat chronic nephritis, and the mechanism may be related to the improvement of the immune function of the patients. |
