Abstract:
Objective To study and observe the effect of astragalus membranaceus on serum free amino acids and chemokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods 60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Lishui Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine from October 2014 to May 2016 were selected as the research object,and 60 patients were divided into control group and observation group with 30 cases in each group,according to the method of random number table,the control group were treated with conventional treatment of rheumatoid arthritis,the observation group were treated with astragalus mongholicus on the basic of control group,then the serum free amino acids and chemokines of two groups before the treatment and at 10th,20th,40th and 60th day after the treatment were respectively detected and compared. Results The serum free amino acids and chemokines of two groups before the treatment were compared, while the serum chemokines of observation group at 10th,20th,40th and 60th day after the treatment were all lower than those of control group,the serum free amino acids glutamic acid,asparagic acid and phenylalanine were all lower than those of control group,leucine,γ-aminobutyric acid, glycine and taurine were all higher than those of control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The influence of astragalus mongholicus for the serum free amino acids and chemokines of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is better,so its application in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis is higher.
