ABSTRACT
Objective To analyse effect of different dose of sustained-release theophyline on prealbumin, C-reactive protein and white blood cell count in patients with pediatric asthma.Methods 58 children with acute asthma attack in our hospital were collected.All children were randomly divided into high dose group and low dose group,29 cases in each group.On the basis of conventional treatment, high dose group were treated with high dose theophylline sustained release tablets 5 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally,and low dose group was treated with low dose theophylline sustained release tablets,2 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally.Two groups were treatment for two weeks.After the treatment, the serum levels of pre albumin, C-reactive protein and veinal blood level of white blood cell count were detected in all children.Results Compared with high dose group post-treatment, the serum level PA was higher in low dose group (P<0.05);the serum level of CRP was lower in low dose group (P<0.05);the veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils was lower in low dose group (P<0.05) .Conclusion Compared with high dose of sustained-release theophyline,the low dose of sustained-release theophyline can significantly reduce the serum CRP level and veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils, improve serum PA level in patients with pediatric asthma, reduce inflammation in patients.
