Abstract:
Objective To detect the changes in the immune function of opioid-dependent subjects during the withdrawal stage through the administration of Jitai tablet.Methods Subjects were treated as Jitai tablet alone,Jitai tablet plus buprenorphine and placebo,in a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled trial.Before and after the 14th day of withdrawal,levels of immunoglobulin (IgM,IgA,IgG),T cell subsets (CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+) and cytokines (IL-2,IFN-γ,IL-4,IFN-γ/IL-4) were detected.Results Compared with healthy people,immunity function before withdrawal among the opioid abusers showed higher levels of IgM,IL-2,IFN-γ,IL-4 and lower level of CD3+ T,as (1.67 ± 0.87) g/L,(14.44 ± 13.50)％,(20.23 ± 15.10)％,(1.97 ± 1.59)％,(47.01 ± 13.62)％,respectively,with difference statistically significant (P＜0.05).There was no big difference of other immunity indicators between the two groups (P＞0.05).At the 14th day of withdrawal in placebo group,levels of IL-4 returned to normal while IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio increased by 3.43 times (P＜0.05).Levels of IgA,IgG,CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio fluctuated within normal range.There were no significant changes in other immunity indicators (P＞0.05).Compared with placebo group,fluctuation of IgG and IgM decreased in Jitai group during withdrawal period,together with a normal level of IgM at the 14th day.Level of IL-4 abnormally rose up by 0.54 times in Jitai tablet plus buprenorphine group,while IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio been switched back at the 14th day of withdrawal.Other immune indicators were not affected by medical interventions.Conclusion We noticed that certain impairment of the immune function might be restored by Jitai tablet during the withdrawal period.
