中西医结合治疗慢性荨麻疹的疗效观察及对IL-10和IL-18的影响

目的 探讨中西医结合治疗慢性荨麻疹的临床疗效及对血清白细胞介素（IL）-10、IL-18的影响。方法 依就诊顺序分为两组。对照组(30例)口服盐酸左西替利嗪片5 mg，每天1次。治疗组（32例）在口服盐酸左西替利嗪片的同时加用自拟抗荨汤（柴胡15 g 防风9 g 甘草15 g牡丹皮15 g 丹参15 g 北芪30 g 五味子12 g等），每天１剂，水煎服，2周为1个疗程。治疗2个疗程后评定疗效。两组治疗前后检测IL-10和IL-18水平。结果 临床有效率治疗组93.75%;对照组有效率56.67%,两组比较差异有统计学意义 (P<0.01)。血清IL-10（ng/L）：治疗组（2.96±1.66）明显低于对照组（4.77±2.99）；血清IL-18（ng/L）：治疗组（50.17±32.35）明显高于对照组（29.44±17.62）。两组比较,差异均有统计学意义 (P<0.01)。结论 慢性荨麻疹与机体免疫失衡有关, 中西医结合治疗可调节机体免疫失衡，提高疗效,减少不良反应及复发率。

Effect of Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine in Treating Chronic Urticaria and Its Impact on Interleukin-10 and Interleukin-8 in Peripheral Blood

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effects of integrative Chinese and Western medicine in treating chronic urticaria and its impact on peripheral blood content of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-8. METHODS: Patients were assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to their sequence of visiting. They were treated orally with levocetirizine hydrochloride 5 mg once a day, but additional Kangqian Decoction (a self-formulated Chinese herbal preparation consisted of thorowax root 15 g, divaricate saposhnikovia root 9 g, licorice root 15 g, moutan bark 15 g, red sage root 15 g, milkvetch root 30 g, and schisandra fruit 12 g, etc. ) was given to the treatment group one dose per day, for 2 weeks as one therapeutic course. The efficacy was evaluated after two courses of medication, and patients' IL-10 and IL-8 levels in the peripheral blood were determined before and after treatment. RESULTS: The total effective rate in the treatment group and control group was 93.75% and 56.66% respectively with significance difference between them (P <0.01). After treatment, the level of serum IL-10 was significantly lower while that of IL-8 was significantly higher in the treatment group (2.96 +/- 1.66, 50.17 +/- 32.35) than that in the control group (4.77 +/- 2.99, 29.44 +/- 17.62) respectively (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Chronic urticaria was related to the immune unbalance of body. Integrative medicine could adjust immune function to display a quick, potent anti-inflammatory and anti-anaphylactic actions in treating chronic urticaria with less adverse reaction and low recurrent rate.
