Effects of Ribavirin combined with Clostridium butyricum powder on T lymphocyte subsets and inflammatory factors in child patients with rotavirus enteritis

摘要

Objective: To observe clinical efficacy of Ribavirin combined with Clostridium butyricum powder on child patients with rotavirus enteritis and analyze serum IL-6, IL-8, TNF-αconcentration and change of T lymphocyte subsets. Methods: A total of 90 patients with rotavirus enteritis were randomly divided into control group (n=45) and observation group (n=45). The control group was given conventional therapy combined with Ribavirin. The observation group was treated with Clostridium butyricum powder on the basis of control group. The changes of T lymphocyte subsets and inflammatory factors were measured before and after treatment in all subjects. Results: There was no significant difference in serum T lymphocyte subsets between the control group and the observation group before treatment. After treatment, the levels of serum CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in both groups were higher than those before treatment, while CD8+ level was lower than that before treatment. The levels of serum CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after treatment, while the CD8+ level was lower than that in control group in the corresponding period. There was no significant difference in the concentration of inflammatory factors between the control group and the observation group before treatment. After treatment, the levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in the two groups were lower than those before treatment. The observation group was significantly lower than control group in corresponding period after treatment and difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: On the basis of conventional therapy and Ribavirin treatment, combined with Clostridium butyricum Powder for children with rotavirus enteritis can reduce concentration of inflammatory factors in peripheral blood and decrease expression of CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets level and improve the level of CD3+, CD4+ level. It is a potent effective drug for treatment of children with rotavirus enteritis.
