Effect of Shenling Baizhu power on inflammatory factors and immune function for recurrent aphthous ulcer / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of Shenling Baizhu power on inflammatory factors and immune function for recurrent aphthous ulcer. Methods Ninety patients with recurrent aphthous ulcer in our hospital were divided into control group and study group according to random number table method, with 45 cases each group.The control group were given oral vitamin B2, levamisole and cetyl pyridinium chloride gargle solution therapy, and the study group were given Shenling Baizhu power on the basis of control group.After one week treatment, the clinical curative effect were observed, the serum inflammatory factors levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) , interleukin 2 ( IL-2 ) and interleukin 6 ( IL-6 ) were determined by Elisa method, the levels of peripheral blood T cell subsets CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +and natural killer cells( NKT) were determined by flow cytometry instrument, and the recurrence rate were observed after one year follow-up.Results After one week treatment, the total effective rate 91.30% in study group was significantly higher than the control group 69.57%, the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =5.874, P=0.015).The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-2 and IL-6 in study group were significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +and NKT in study group were significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Followed up for 1 year, the recurrence rate 17.78%(8/45) in study group was significantly lower than the control group 46.67%(21/45), the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =8.598, P =0.003).Conclusion The Shenling Baizhu power treatment of recurrent aphthous ulcer has better clinical curative effect, can reduce levels of inflammatory factor, improve immune function, and reduce the recurrence rate.
