Abstract:
In the treatment of 32 cases of bronchial asthma by injection of BCG polysaccharide nucleic acid (PSN) into Zusanli (ST 36), Dingchuan (Ex-B1) and Feishu (BL 13) in summer, the total effective rate reached 84. 4%, with T cell subgroup determined before and after the treatments at the same time. In summer, injection of PSN can enhance CD8+ (P＜ 0.01) for the patients in lower level, and reduce the enlarged ratio of CD4+/CD8+ (P ＜ 0.01), indicating this method can regulate the immune functions and provides a convenient and effective method to the treatment of bronchial asthma.
