Abstract
Objective To observe the clinical effect of conventional therapy combined with the collateral-pricking with ventouse on bronchial asthma at chronic persistent period, and to approach its mechanism. Methods Forty eight patients met the criterion were, according to the numerical orders of their visits and with the ratio of 1∶ 1, divided into two groups by simple randomized method, i. e. , trial group and control group, with 24 in each. The patients in the control group were given conventional therapy, while those in the trial group were, based on the conventional therapy, given the collateral-pricking with ventouse: percussopunctator pricking on the acupoints which were selected by symptom differentiation, then quickly cupping and finally retained cupping on the acupoints, once every other day, for 3 months. The pulmonary function test, the content of total serum IgE, and the numbers of CD4 + and CD8 T - lymphocytes in peripheral blood were examined for all the patients before and after treatment Results There was a statistical significance in effect between the two group ( P ＜0. 05 ). In content of total serum IgE there was a statistical significance after the treatment as compared with before in both groups ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), and so there was after the treatment between the two groups ( P ＜0. 05 ). After the treatment in the levels of FVC, FEV1 and PEF a statistical significance was found in both groups ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), but no statistical significance was found between the two groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ); CD4 + in peripheral blood was decresed and CD8 + was increased, and CD4 + /CD8 + was decreased in both groups ( P ＜ 0. 05 ); meanwhile there was a statistical significance between the two groups ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) . Conclusion The collateral - pricking with ventouse therapy for bronchial asthma at chronic persistent period can resist allergy, improve airway inflammation, reduce airway hyperresponsiveness, and raise immunity. It is beneficial for long - term stabilization of asthma, being simple in operation, economical and practical.关键词
