Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical use of sodium hyaluronate (SH) combined with pranoprofen in treating patients with dry eye.
Methods: A total of 117 patients with dry eye who were treated in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Kunshan from March 2020 and May 2022 were included. According to the therapy approaches, they were treated with SH (SH group), pranoprofen (pranoprofen group), and SH combined with pranoprofen (joint group) (n = 39).
Results: The effective rates of dry eye were 79.49%, 74.36% and 94.87% in the SH group, the pranoprofen group and the joint group, respectively (p < 0.05). After treatment, the tear BUT and SIT in the joint group were all prominently increased than those in the other two groups (p < 0.05). The corneal fluorescein staining and dry eye symptom scores in the joint group after treatment were dramatically lower than those in the other two groups (p < 0.001). After treatment, the visual contrast sensitivity (12 c/d, 18 c/d and 24 c/d) in the joint group was markedly higher than those in the other two groups (p < 0.001). The CPR, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1β levels in the joint group were notably decreased than those in other two groups (p < 0.001). After treatment, the VRQOL quality-of-life scores in the joint group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: SH combined with pranoprofen showed clear therapeutic benefit in treating dry eye, and the curative effect was more favorable than with either medication alone.
研究目的本研究旨在探讨透明质酸钠(SH)联合普拉洛芬治疗干眼症患者的临床应用:纳入 2020 年 3 月至 2022 年 5 月期间在昆山市中医医院接受治疗的 117 例干眼症患者。根据治疗方法的不同,分别采用SH(SH组)、普拉洛芬(普拉洛芬组)、SH联合普拉洛芬(联合组)(39例)进行治疗:SH组、普拉洛芬组和联合组的干眼有效率分别为79.49%、74.36%和94.87%(P P P P P P 结论:SH联合普拉洛芬组的干眼有效率为79.49%,普拉洛芬组的干眼有效率为74.36%,联合组的干眼有效率为94.87%:SH联合普拉洛芬治疗干眼症的疗效明显,且疗效优于单独使用其中一种药物。
期刊介绍:
The journal Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology is devoted to pre-clinical and clinical drug discovery and development targeting the immune system. Research related to the immunoregulatory effects of various compounds, including small-molecule drugs and biologics, on immunocompetent cells and immune responses, as well as the immunotoxicity exerted by xenobiotics and drugs. Only research that describe the mechanisms of specific compounds (not extracts) is of interest to the journal.
The journal will prioritise preclinical and clinical studies on immunotherapy of disorders such as chronic inflammation, allergy, autoimmunity, cancer etc. The effects of small-drugs, vaccines and biologics against central immunological targets as well as cell-based therapy, including dendritic cell therapy, T cell adoptive transfer and stem cell therapy, are topics of particular interest. Publications pointing towards potential new drug targets within the immune system or novel technology for immunopharmacological drug development are also welcome.
With an immunoscience focus on drug development, immunotherapy and toxicology, the journal will cover areas such as infection, allergy, inflammation, tumor immunology, degenerative disorders, immunodeficiencies, neurology, atherosclerosis and more.
Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology will accept original manuscripts, brief communications, commentaries, mini-reviews, reviews, clinical trials and clinical cases, on the condition that the results reported are based on original, clinical, or basic research that has not been published elsewhere in any journal in any language (except in abstract form relating to paper communicated to scientific meetings and symposiums).
