ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with modified TongXieYaoFang. Methods 83 IBS patients were randomly recruited into a treatment group (45 patients) and a control group (38 patients). In the control group, Trimebutine, 200mg, and Bifid triple viable capsule, 420mg, 3 times/day was given orally to the patients, while on the basis of that, the treatment group was administrated with modified TongXieYaoFang in addition. Both groups were treated for one course of 4 weeks. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 93.3% and 71.1% respectively, showing significant difference between the two groups (X2=7.2938, P<0.01 ). Conclusion TongXieYaoFang combined with western medicine is effective in treating IBS.
ABSTRACT
Objective Objective Research on the change of levels of interleukin 12 (IL-12),interleukin4 (IL-4) and immunoglobulin E(Ig E)in asthmatic children.Methods 20 asthmatic children in attack stage and 20 asthmatic children in remission stage were as sample cases.The serum levels of IL-12,IL-4 and Ig E were detect with ELISA.Results IL-12 level of children in attack stage was obviously lower than those in remission stage and healthy children (P＜0.05);IL-4 and Ig E level of children in attack stage was obviously higher than those in remission stage and healthy children (P＜0.05);IL-4 level of children in remission stage was obviously higher than healthy children (P＜0,05);The level of IL-12 was in negative correlation with that of IgE in asthmatic children,while the level of IL-4 was in positive correlation with that of IgE in asthmatic children.Conclusions Asthmatic children have lower level of IL-12 and higher levels of IL-4 and Ig E.
