Effects of montelukast sodium combined with pidotimod on acute phase protein and immune function in children with acute bronchitis

摘要

Objective: To observe the effects of montelukast sodium combined with pidotimod on acute phase protein (APP) and indexes of immunologic function in pediatric acute bronchitis treatment. Methods: A total of 180 cases children with acute bronchitis acted as research objects were randomly divided into control group (n=65) and observation group (n=63). On the basis of conventional therapy, control group was treated by plus pidotimod. On this base, observation group was treated with montelukast sodium. The changes of acute phase proteins (CRP, HP, a1-AAG and CER) and immune function (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+) levels before and after treatment were observed after 2 months. Results: Before treatment, CRP, HP, a1-AAG, CER, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels of two groups had no statistically significant difference; CRP, HP, a1-AAG, CER, and CD8+ levels of control and observation groups decreased significantly after treatment, the decreases of observation group were more obvious than that of control group, and the levels after treatment were significantly lower than that of control groups. The levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in two groups after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment. For observation group, the levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ increased more significantly after treatment, which were significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusion: Using Montelukast sodium combined with pidotimod can effectively reduce the children's acute phase protein levels, improve immune function, which has clinical value for the treatment of children with acute bronchitis.
