Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of expelling wind, cooling blood and invigorating kidney prescription on the marrow megakaryocyte differentiation maturity and TGF-β1 in patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (CITP). Methods Fifty CITP patients were randomly divided to three groups, including 20 patients administrated with the expelling wind, cooling blood and invigorating kidney prescription as TCM group, 15 patients with the same decoction and prednisone as combine group, and 15 patients with prednisone as western medicine group, 4 weeks as one treatment course. After 3 courses, the change of platelet counts, marrow megakaryocyte amount, platelet-produced megakaryocyte proportion and TGF-β1 level in the marrow were observed. Results The fine efficiency of TCM group (55.0%, 11/20) excelled western medicine group (20.0%, 3/15) significantly and close to that of combine group (60.0%, 9/15). Platelet counts of TCM group was raised obviously after treatment (P<0.01), better than that of western medicine group (P<0.05), and was similar to that of combine group. The marrow megakaryocyte amount of TCM group was effectively decreased and the platelet-produced megakaryocyte proportion was increased greatly (P<0.01), similar to that of combine group, which of western medicine group had no significant difference between pre-therapy and post-therapy. TGF-β1 of TCM group and combine group degraded obviously (P<0.05) compared with that before treatment, and was significant deviation compared with that of western medicine group (P<0.05). Conclusion The expelling wind, cooling blood and invigorating kidney prescription can effectively degrade the value of TGF-β1 of CITP patients, facilitate the maturity of the marrow megakaryocyte amount and raise the platelet counts.
