A Stody of the Effect ot "Strenothening Body ReSiStence Method" on ASthma Attack

In order to stody the effect of a traditional Chinese medical treating method (StrengtheningBody Resistance Method) on asthma attack, asthmatic patients of either Cold type or Heat type were dividedinto two groups and treated with tlie Chinese methods ' Zhibiao' I symptomatic treatments, as the controlgroup) and 'Biaoben Jianzhi' (treating both the secondary and principal aspects of a disease, as the testgroup) respectively. The results showed tliat the markedly effective rates were higher in ttie two ' BiaobenJianzhi' groups than that in the two 'Zhibiao' groups. After treatment, the changeS of one second forced ex-piratory volume (FEV1) and the peak expiratory flow of patients of the former were also greater than those otthe latter; the proportion of cells carrying human leukocyte antigen class II(HLA-DR+ cell) , the baSOphiliccoll releasing capacity I HBR) and the T coll hyperplasia resporise to specific allergens of patients of the'Biaoben Jianzhi' groiJps were all redced while those of the 'Zhibiao' groiJps chafiged little. These resultssuggested that the 'Strengthening Body Resistaiice method' played an important role in regulating immunityfor relieving asthma attack.

扶正法缓解哮喘发作的作用探讨

为探讨扶正法在治疗哮喘发作中的作用，对寒喘、热喘患者均各采用治标或标本兼治。结果显示：两个标本兼治组的显效率均高于相应治标组；治疗后两个标本兼治组的１秒钟用力呼气量、最大呼气流速，较两个治标组变化显著；携带人类白细胞Ⅱ类抗原的细胞比例下降；Ｔ淋巴细胞对特异性过敏原的反应减弱；嗜碱细胞释放能力下降，而两个治标组上述几个指标无明显变化。提示扶正法在缓解哮喘发作中发挥了显著的免疫调节作用。
