This study was aimed to discuss the anti-inflammatory and immunization properties ofRe-Du-Ning (RDN) injection in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with phlegm-heat stagnated in the lung syndrome. A total of 110 in-patients were collected from January 2012 to December 2013. Cases were randomly divided into the treatment group (basic treatment plan + 20 ml RDN injection + 250 mL of 5% GS injection, once a day, intravenous injection) and the control group (basic treatment plan + 20 ml of 0.9% NS injection + 250 mL of 5% GS injection, once a day, intravenous injection), with 55 cases in each group. The treatment course was 14 days. Observations were made on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, clinical effect, blood routine examination, blood gas analysis and T lymphocyte subgroups before and after the treatment in both groups. The results showed that in the aspects of TCM symptom score and clinical effect, the posttreatment TCM symptom score and total integration in the treatment group were obviously improved compared to the control group except for shortness of breath, dry mouth and thirsty, flushing (P < 0.05). The total effective rate was obviously better than that of the control group. In the aspect of anti-inflammation, the total white blood cell (WBC) count and the normal neutrophil percentage of both pretreatment and posttreatment in the treatment group were obviously decreased compared to pretreatment (P < 0.05). However, there were no statistical differences on WBC count and normal neutrophil percentage compared to posttreatment in the control group. In the aspect of blood gas analysis, the posttreatment PaCO2 and PaO2 of the treatment group were obviously better than the control group (P < 0.05). In the aspect of immune regulation, the posttreatment T lymphocyte subgroups CD3+ and CD4+ of the treatment group were higher than the control group. The expression inhibition / cytotoxic lymphocyte (CD8+) was obviously lower than the control group (P < 0.05). The CD4+ / CD8+ was back to the normal reference level. It was concluded that in the treatment of AECOPD with phlegm-heat stagnated in the lung syndrome, on the basis of western medicine symptomatic treatment plan, RDN injection was assisted to clear heat, relieve toxin and remove phlegm. It can obviously improve patient’s clinical symptoms and increase the clinical therapeutic effects. The treatment was especially targeted to infection-induced respiratory failure patients combined low immunity with possible identified therapeutic effects.
