Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of Yishen Capsule on the soluble endothelium protein C receptor (sEPCR) and P-selectin (CD62P) as well as the serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) and complement 3 (C3) in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). Methods The changes of sEPCR and CD62P levels in plasma as well as Ig and C3 levels in serum were assessed in 40 normal subjects and 78 patients before and after treatment by double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry and immunoturbidimetry, respectively. Results Compared with those in normal group before treatment, the levels of sEPCR and CD62P in plasma as well as IgA in serum increased obviously (P<0.01), and the levels of IgG and IgM as well as C3 in serum decreased significantly in CGN patients (P<0.01). After three months' treatment with Yishen Capsule, the levels of sEPCR and CD62P in plasma and IgA in serum decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the levels of IgG and IgM in plasma as well as C3 in serum increased obviously (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion The mechanism of Yishen Capsule's effect in treating patients with CGN may be correlated with decreasing sEPCR and CD62P levels in plasma as well as regulating the levels of Ig in serum and C3.
