METHODS: Cytokine levels were determined before and after treatment in 30 healthy volunteers (Group A) and 90 patients of chronic allergic rhinitis (Group B) with an increased plasma IL-10 level. Group B was then divided into 3 subgroups: 30 patients treated with real acupuncture (Group B1); 30 patients treated with sham acupuncture (Group B2); 30 non-treated patients (Group B3). RESULTS: The allergic subjects of group B1, compared with controls, showed a significant reduction of IL-10 after a specific treatment with acupuncture (P展开更多

From August 1998 to May 2001, we randomly selected 60 cases of PAR with qi deficiency and blood stasis for a clinical observation. 30 patients in the treatment group were treated with Ke Min Yin (克敏饮), a herbal medicine, to supplement qi, expel wind, nourish blood and promote blood circulation; and the other 30 cases in the control group were treated with cetrine. Through systematic observation and statistical processing, the clinical research is summarized and reported in the following.展开更多

It is characterized by paroxysmal and repeated runny nose, sneeze, stuffy nose, rhinocnesmus and nasal mucosa edema. The author used ＂Doctor ZHAO＇s thunder-fire moxibustion＂ in treating 48 cases of this disease. Now it is reported as follows.展开更多

Methods： Thirty patients with allergic rhinitis were treated with acupuncture-moxibustion, and 30 healthy cases were the control. Clinical symptoms, signs, and nasal mucosa were observed, and contents of IL-4, IFN-γ, and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor （GM-CSF） in the supernatant of peripheral blood monocyte cultured with PHA by ELISA, before treatment, after one course of treatment, and after two courses of treatment. Results： Before the treatment, the contents of IL-4, and GM-CSF were higher （P〈0.01） and IFN-γ was lower （P〈0.01） in the PAR cases than in the control cases. In the PAR cases, the content of GM-CSF was positive correlation with that of IL-4 （P〈0.01）, and negative correlation with IFN-7 （P〈0.01）. After the treatment, contents of IL-4 and GM-CSF were lowed （P〈0.01）, content of IFN-γ was increased （P〈0.05）, and all IL-4, GM-CSF and IFN-γ had no difference compared with those in the control cases. Conclusion： Acupuncture- moxibustion could improve the symptoms and signs in PAR patients, enhance the immune function. It may be achieved by regulating the expression of Th1 and Th2, correcting the imbalance of Th1/Th2.展开更多

The extract was plastered and blistered on Dazhui and Neiguan points. It was observedby nasal mucosa provocative test, cells in nasal secretion test and serum total IgE test. The results showedthat ite effective rate was 88% . After treatment the allergic nasal mucosa provocative test of the treatedgroup was alleviated obviously ( P < 0 . 01 ) and the number ot eosinopnil affd basophil in nasal secretion de-creased significantly ( P < 0 . 01 , P < 0 . 05 ) . The serum total lgE also reduced significantly I P < 0 . 01 ) .展开更多
