OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Tanreqing injection, a traditional Chinese herbal preparation for clearing heat and resolving phlegm, in treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) by improving airway inflammation and airway mucus hypersecretion. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was designed. Ninety AECOPD patients were randomly divided into Tanreqing group, ambroxol hydrochloride group and control group. The patients in the three groups were all treated with conventional therapy. Furthermore, intravenous drip infusion of 20 ml Tanreqing injection (once daily) and 15 mg ambroxol hydrochloride injection (twice daily) were administered respectively to the patients in the Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group. They were all treated for 10 days. Symptom score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), plasma concentrations of interleukin-8 (IL-8), IL-10 and neutrophil elastase (NE) were detected before and after treatment. RESULTS: Cough, sputum amount, expectoration, dyspnea, fever, coated tongue and pulse tracings were improved obviously in Tanreqing group (P<0.05), and the effects of Tanreqing on improving cough, sputum amount and expectoration were better than the conventional therapy (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group (P>0.05). Compared with ambroxol hydrochloride group and the control group, the coated tongue was improved obviously in Tanreqing group (P>0.05). After treatment, plasma concentrations of IL-8, IL-10 and NE were decreased in Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group (P<0.05), and the levels of IL-8 and IL-10 in the control group were decreased (P<0.05). The change of IL-8 level before and after treatment in Tanreqing group was greater than that in ambroxol hydrochloride group and the control group. The changes of IL-10 and NE levels in ambroxol hydrochloride group were greater than those in Tanreqing group and the control group, while there was no significant difference in the changes of serum levels of IL-8, IL-10 and NE among the three groups (P>0.05). Total response rates in Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group were higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in total response rate between Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in total response rate among the three groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Tanreqing injection can improve TCM signs and symptoms in AECOPD patients, and the mechanism maybe due to the decrease of serum levels of IL-8 and NE and improvement of IL-10 level.

Objective To investigate the biological effects of 125I seeds and 60Co γ-rays on the non-small cell lung cancer cells A549 and the normal bronchial epithelium cells BEAS-2B.Methods A549 and BEAS-2B cells were irradiated with 125I seeds and 60Co γ-rays.The survival fraction was detected by colony formation assay.The cell cycle and cell apoptotic ratio were detected by flow cytometry.The expression of cell apoptotic related proteins was examined by western blot.Results After irradiation with different doses,the survival of A549 cells irradiated with 125I seeds was lower than that irradiated with γ-rays (t =6.06,9.42,4.90,P <0.05).After irradiation with 4 Gy of 125I seeds and 60Co γ-rays,the G1 phase percentages of A549 cells were 70.67% ± 1.49% and 59.59% ± 0.71% (t =10.77,P < 0.05),and the apoptotic ratios of A549 cells were 18.09% ±0.73% and 9.81% ±0.16% (t =19.40,P< 0.05),respectively.125I seeds irradiation remarkably up-regulated the expressions of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 proteins,down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 proteins compared with 60Co γ-rays irradiation on A549 cells.However,the apoptotic ratio and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins in BEAS-2B cells had little difference between two types of radiation.Conclusions The anti-proliferative effect of 125I seeds irradiation on A549 cell is more remarkably than that of 60Co γ-rays.The imbalance of Bcl-2/Bax ratio and the eventually activation of Caspase-3 proteins may play an important role in the anti-proliferative effect induced by the continuous low dose radiation of 125I-seeds.
