Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Zusanli acupoint injection of Astragalus Membranaceus Injection on patients with tumor leukopenia after radiotherapy and chemotherapy and its influence on cellular immune function.Methods According to clinical case of random table,60 cases of malignant tumor patients in Hubei province Xiangyang city hospital from March 2010 to August 2011 were randomly divided into two groups of 30 patients in each group.The treatment group was treated with Zusanli acupoint injection of Astragalus Injection therapy,while the control group was taken Leucogen,vitaminB4,batyl alcohol orally.Venous blood and peripheral white blood cell were taken in both groups before and after treatment.Direct immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used for the detection of peripheral blood T lymphocyte total number and its subsets.Results ① clinical efficacy:Total effectiveness was 77.5%in the treatment group,and 52.5% the control group,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (x2=8.027,P<0.05).Comparison of the white blood cell count and T lymphocyte subsets of peripheral blood:the white blood cell count was (3.56~4.21) × 109/L in the treatment group,and (2.89~3.39) × 109/in the control group,there was significant difference between two groups (t=2.435,P<0.05); there was significant elevation of CD3 +,CD4+,CD4+/CD8 + [(62± 1.63) %,(43 ± 0.80) %,(1.48 ± 0.23) in the treatment group after the treatment comparing with (48± 1.25)%,(31 ± 0.74)%,(0.93± 0.12) before the treatment (P<0.05 or 0.01),while there was no such changes in the control group.Conclusion Zusanli acupoint injection of Astragalus Injection may modulate the cellular immune function of patients with cancer.It is effective in the treatment of leukopenia after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
