Effect of acitretin in combined with NB-UVB on T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with psoriasis vulgaris

摘要

Objective:To explore the effect of acitretin in combined with NB-UVB on T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Methods:A total of 90 patients with psoriasis vulgaris who were admitted in our department from May, 2013 to May, 2015 were included in the study and randomized into the observation group and the control group. The patients in the control group were given acitretin after dinner, 10 mg/time, twice each day, for 6 weeks. The patients in the observation group were given acitretin in combined with UVB, each irradiation for 30 min, three times every week, for 6 weeks. The changes of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ in the peripheral blood, PASI score, and the clinical efficacy before and after treatment in the two groups were observed.Results:The elevation degree of CD3+ and CD4+ after treatment in the observation group was significantly obvious that in the control group, while the declining degree of CD8+ was also significantly obvious that in the control group. The decreased degree of PASI score after treatment in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group. The total effective rate in the observation group (93.33%) was significantly superior to that in the control group (80.00%).Conclusions:Acitretin in combined with UVB in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris can play its role by altering the imbalance state of T lymphocyte immune function. The combined treatment can enhance the therapeutic effect, therefore, it deserves to be widely recommended in the clinic.
