ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of Xuebijing injection on immune function of patients with acute exacer-bation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD) .Methods 103 patients with AECOPD were divided into 3 groups ,in-cluding control group(33 cases) ,the treatment group 1(36 cases) and treatment group 2(34 cases) .The conventional treatments of COPD including anti-infection ,relieving cough ,expectorant ,antispasmodic ,anti-asthmatic and aerosol therapy were adopted in all patients ,based on the similar conventional therapy in the control group ,50 mL Xuebijing injection with NS 250 mL(1/d ,course of 7 d) were added in the treatment group 1 ,and 100 mL Xuebijing injection with NS 250 mL (1/d ,course of 7 d)were added in the treatment group 2 .Serum CD3 ,CD4 ,CD8 ,CD4/CD8 and IgA ,IgG ,IgM were tested before treatment as well as 4 days and 8 days after treatment .The condition changes in all patients were evaluated .Results After 8 days of treatment ,the total treatment effi-ciency and serum CD3 ,CD4 ,CD4/CD8 ,IgA were significantly changed in the two treatment groups compared with the control group(P0 .05);After 4 days of treatment ,the total efficien-cy and serum CD4 ,CD4/CD8 were significantly changed in the treatment group 2 which injection dose was increased compared with the control group(P0 .05) .Conclusion Xuebijing injection can improve the immune function and treatment efficiency of AECO-PD patients .Appropriately increase the dose can achieve better clinical results in a short period .In conclusion ,Xuebijing injection is a feasible and effective method for the clinical treatment of AECOPD .
