Serum levels of inflammatory factors, Th17/Treg cellular immunity indexes before and after treatment were compared among four groups of patients.Results: Before treatment, differences in serum levels of inflammatory factors and Th17/Treg cellular immunity indexes were not statistically significant among four groups of patients. After treatment, serum HMGB1, IL-8, IL-14, IL-23 and IL-33 levels in combined treatment group were lower than those in montelukast group, loratadine group and tanshinone group;serum IL-17 level was lower than that in montelukast group, loratadine group and tanshinone group while IL-10 and TGF-β levels were higher than those in montelukast group, loratadine group and tanshinone group.Conclusions: Montelukast, loratadine and tanshinone combination therapy for Henoch-Schonlein purpura helps to reduce systemic inflammatory response and balance Th17/Treg cell immunity.展开更多
