RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of acetylcysteine on the inflammation and oxidative stress in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Sixty patients with COPD were divided into two groups by random mechanical sampling method (30 cases each group).The control group was treated with conventional therapy and the treatment group added acetylcysteine for 8 weeks.The levels of tumor necrosis factor- t (TNF- α ),interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin -8 (IL-8),superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) were monitored and analyzed before and after treatment.Results The levels of SOD,MDA were (51.08 ± 7.80),(75.09 ± 8.03) μ U/L and (7.13 ± 0.89),(4.51 ±0.61 ) μ mol/L before and after treatment in the treatment group,and (52.12 ± 7.31 ),(65.16 ± 8.01 ) μ U/Land (7.11 ± 0.87),(6.21 ± 0.78 ) μ mol/L in the control group.There were significant differences before and after treatment in two groups (P＜0.01 or ＜0.05),and there were significant differences after treatment between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF- α were significant differences before and after treatment in the treatment group [ ( 18.25 ± 7.24) ng/L vs.(29.02 ± 6.70) Ng/L,( 115.28 ± 13.76 ) ng/Lvs.(148.99 ± 16.61) ng/L,(20.43 ±3.92) ng/L vs.(32.32 ± 8.18)ng/L] (P ＜0.05).But there was nosignificant difference before and aftertreatment in the control group [ (25.25 ± 7.55 )ng/L vs.(28.82 ± 7.54)ng/L,( 136.27 ± 12.97) ng/L vs.( 150.21 ± 17.52) ng/L,(28.43 ± 3.92) ng/L vs.(32.56 ± 8.78) ng/L] (P＞0.05),there were significant differences after treatment between two groups (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Acetylcysteine can inhibit inflammation and e hminate free radicals in plasma.Acetylcysteine has beneficial effects on COPD.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of Qingrelifei decoction on hemorrheology and nail bed in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Sixty cases of COPD were divided into 2 groups randomly, the treatment group was 30 cases and the control was 30 cases. The control group was treated with oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, antibiotics, glucocorticosteroid therapy. The treatment group was given Qingrelifei decoction additionally. Indexes of hemorrhelolgy and nail fold microcirculation were detected before and after treatment. Results The whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and erythrocyte sedimentation rate decreased while hematocrit increased after medication, there were obvious differences in both groups (P
