Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical efficiency and immune adjustment of oxymatrine capsule and acitretin in the treatment of psoriasis.Methods Eighty patients with psoriasis were randomly divided into treatment (T) and control (C) groups.The T group took orally oxymatrine one capsule (0.2g) three times a day and one acitretin (10 g) two times a day.The C group only took orally one acitretin (10 g) two times a day.The T and C groups were applied the same drug for external use.Moreover,another 40 normal volunteers were set as normal control group.The peripheral blood T cell subset CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,CD4 +/CD8 + were detected in all the three groups (T,C,and normal) before and after treatment.Results The effective rate was 92.5% in the T group,and 72.5% in the C group with statistical significance (x2 =8.66,P < 0.05).The symptom integral decline index of two groups before and after treatment has statistical significance (t =10.02,P < 0.05).For the peripheral T cell subset CD3 +,CD4+,CD8 +,CD4 +/CD8 + in the T group,a significant difference was found between pretreatment and posttreatment [(57.13 ±8.14)%,(37.62 ±7.97)%,(33.01 ±2.97)%,(1.24 ±0.51)% vs (60.09 ±11.53)%,(43.02±7.67)%,(25.63 ±4.24)%,(1.73 ±0.69)%,t =3.08 ~9.02,P <0.01].However,there was not any statistical significance between pretreatment and posttreatment in the C group (P > 0.05).Conclusions The treatment of common psoriasis combined with oxymatrine capsule and acitretin had a good curative effect and it improved the imbalance of peripheral blood T cell subsets.
