ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect ofJiuwei-Sanjie capsuls combined with levothyroxine sodium on IL-17 and IL-23 expression in the patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Methods A total of 76 HT patients were randomly divided into the control group (n=38) and observation group (n=38). The control group was treated with Levothyroxine Sodium, and the observation group was treated with Levothyroxine Sodium andJiuwei-Sanjie capsuls. The expression of FT3, FT4, TSH, TGAb, and TPOAb were detected by chemiluminescent immunoassay. The expression of IL-17 and IL-23 were detected by ELISA analysis. The clinical effect were compared.ResultsThe clinical effect was 94.7% (36/38) in observation group, which was better than that of 81.6% (31/38) in control group (χ2=2.316,P=0.042) . After treatment, the expression of IL-17 (22.32 ± 4.25 ng/mlvs. 31.55 ± 6.84 ng/ml,t=2.416) and IL-23 (14.72 ± 3.42 ng/mlvs. 23.27 ± 5.26 ng/ml, t=2.512) in observation group was lower than that in control group (P expression in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and improve thyroid function.
