Influence of Kurarinol on specific and non-specific cell immunity in patients with chronic hepatitis B / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore influence of Kurarinol on specific and non-specific cell immunity in patients with chronic hepatitis B.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>74 cases of CHB were randomly divided into two groups, 36 cases in treatment group, treated with 600 mg Kurarinol glucose injection, IV, once a day. After one month, Kurarinol capsule was used orally, three times a day for 2 months, 200 mg Silybin Meglumine Tablets orally, three times a day for 3 months. 38 cases in control group, only Silybin Meglumine Tablets was used, method and dosage were the same as treatment group. Compare HBV specific CTL, non-specific CTL, sub-group of T cells, changes of Th1 and Th2, negative conversion rate of HBV DNA and HBeAg of the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In treatment group, 3 months after treatment with Kurarinol, HBV specific CTL is higher than that before treatment (P < 0.01), it is also higher than that of control after treatment, P < 0.05) . Non-specific CTL is higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), it is also higher than that of control after treatment (P < 0.01). CD4 is higher than that before treatment (P <0.05), it is also higher than that of control after treatment (P < 0.01), Thl is higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), it is also higher than that of control after treatment (P < 0.01) . Negative conversion of HBV DNA and HBeAg is higher than that of control (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Kurarinol can improve specific and non-specific cell immunity in patients with CHB. It is one of the mechanisms that Kurarinol can clear or inhibit HBV of patients with CHB.</p>
