ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of allergen-specific immunotherapy on FEV1 and airway responsiveness in patients with idiopathic asthma.Methods 90 patients with idiopathic asthma from January 2013 to August 2015 in Deqing City People's Hospital were selected and randomly divided into control group and study group with 45 cases in each group.Control group were treated with anti-infection, relieving cough and eliminating phlegm, relieving spasm and relieving asthma, the study group was treated with allergen specific immunotherapy based on the control group, and a total of 3 months for a course of treatment.Blood samples were used to measure inflammatory mediators , airway sensitivity index, pulmonary function and airway responsiveness, at the same time, the clinical efficacy and complications were compared.Results Compared with before treatment, the levels of FVC, PEF, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the two groups increased, levels of AI, AO, T and WA decreased, levels of serum IL-4 decreased, levels of IL-10, IFN-γincreased, levels of serum IgE, SIgE, TIgE and EOS decreased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), compared with the control group, the levels of FVC, PEF, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the study group were higher, the levels of AI, AO, T and WA were lower, serum IL-4 levels were lower after treatment, levesls of IL-10, IFN-γwere higher, levels of serum IgE, SIgE, TIgE and EOS were lower, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the effective rate in the control group (71.11%) was lower than the study group (88.89%), the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion Allergen-specific immunotherapy was effective for cough variant asthma, it can improve pulmonary function, inflammation and airway sensitivity.
