The Therapeutic Effect of Qingwen Qudu Capsule(清瘟祛毒胶囊)on Influenza of Heat Toxin Attacking Lung Type and Its Effect on Interleukin-4 and Interferon Gamma
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Qingwen Qudu capsule(清瘟祛毒胶囊)on the syndrome of influen-za heat toxicity attacking lung and its effect on the balance of IL-4 and IFN-γ in patients.Method A total of 106 patients with influenza fever and poison attack on lung were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the random number table,with 53 ca-ses in each group.The control group was treated with symptomatic plus oseltamivir,and the observation group was treated with Qingwen Qudu capsule for 5 days.The total effective rate of the two groups was compared.The body temperature of the two groups was compared before treatment and 4,48,72 h after treatment.The TCM symptom score,interleukin-4(IL-4),in-terferon γ(IFN-γ)and IFN-γ/IL-4 levels of the two groups were compared before and after treatment.The adverse reac-tions of the two groups were observed.Results After treatment,the total effective rate was 94.34%in the observation group and 83.02%in the control group,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The body temperature of the two groups was lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the body temperature of the observation group was signifi-cantly lower than that of the control group after 4h of medication and 48h of treatment(P<0.05).After treatment,the total scores and scores of cough,sore throat,thirst and headache in two groups were significantly decreased,and the treatment group were significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05).Significantly decreased IFN-γ and IFN-γ/IL-4 levels,and sig-nificantly increased IL-4 were found in both groups than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the different was significant be-tween groups for the above indexes(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was 5.66%in the observation group and 11.32%in the control group.The results showed no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Qingwen Qudu Capsule can improve clinical effect,reduce fever quickly,and regulate IFN-γ/IL-4 balance.
