Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of and Smeton on inflammatory mediator levels and therapeutic outcomes in elderly patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods Ninety AECOPD patients hospitalized at our department from June 2012 to June 2013 were selected and randomly divided into the group and the Smeton group.In addition to routine therapy,such as anti-infection medication and water & electrolyte balance maintenance,for both groups,patients in the group were given a single 10 mg oral dose of,taken at night before bedtime,while patients in the Smeton group were given 2 pills of a compounding formulation containing,three times a day,for two months.Changes in plasma inflammatory mediator levels before and after treatment and therapeutic outcomes were monitored.Results Highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels decreased and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels increased two months after treatment,compared with pretreatment levels [hs-CRP,(4.01±0.69) mg/L vs.(15.23±4.39) mg/L,and IL-10,(19.44±6.35) g/L vs.(7.86±3.24) g/L,for the group; hsCRP,(7.09±1.70) mg/L vs.(7.86±3.24) g/L,andIL-10,(11.6±3.2 g/L vs.6.7±2.8 g/L),for the Smeton group; P＜0.05 or 0.01].The magnitude of increases or decreases in inflammatory mediator levels was greater in the group than in the Smeton group (P＜0.05 for both),and the overall effectiveness rate was higher in the Smeton group than in the group (95.6％ vs.82.2％,x2 =4.05,P ＜0.05).Conclusions When used for treatment of patients with AECOPD,ontelukast has more beneficial effects on inflammatory mediator levels,whereas is more effective in clinical symptom improvement.
