中医药防治慢性阻塞性肺疾病免疫反应的研究进展

慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)作为一种常见的以进行性发展为主要特征的呼吸系统疾病,不仅发病率逐年增高,且致残率和致死率居高不下,为患者带来严重的经济负担。而免疫反应在COPD发病的过程中有举足轻重的地位,研究显示,COPD与自身免疫功能的紊乱息息相关,且中医药通过介导免疫应答来干预COPD的疾病进程也被实验研究频频证实。本文主要包含中医药对COPD免疫反应有干预作用的四大类研究内容,即免疫球蛋白计数,CD4^+/CD8^+细胞平衡,调节性T细胞(Treg),辅助性T细胞17(Th17)细胞平衡,Th1/Th2细胞平衡及相关信号通路,为实验研究提供新的参考和思路。

Advances in Study of Chinese Medicine on Prevention and Treatment of Immune Response to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as a common respiratory disease characterized by progressive development, not only has the incidence increased year by year, but also has a high disability and mortality rate, which brings serious economic burden to patients. Immune response plays an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD. Studies have shown that COPD is closely related to the disorder of autoimmune function, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) interferes with the disease process of COPD by mediating immune response. This paper mainly contains four kinds of research contents of TCM intervention on COPD immune response, namely T lymphocyte subsets count, immunoglobulin count, Th17/Treg dynamic balance, Th1/Th2 dynamic balance and related signaling pathways. In order to provide new reference and ideas for experimental research, a brief review is made at the end of this paper.
