Effects of huang qi wu wu decoction on plasma proteins in 70 cases of chronic pulmonary heart disease.
Simple immune agar diffusion test was used to assay the contents of 12 plasma proteins in 70 cases of chronic pulmonary heart disease treated by Huang Qi Wu Wu Decoction ([symbol: see text]), with the other 70 cases who were not given Huang Qi Wu Wu Decoction as the control group. The total clinical effective rate in the treatment group was 90.0%, while that in the control group was 75.7%, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). In the treatment group, the levels of prealbumin, transferrin and fibronectin elevated obviously after treatment, and the contents of C-reactive protein, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, alpha 1-antitrypsin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein decreased markedly (P < 0.01). In the control group, only the levels of ceruloplasmin and C-reactive protein decreased significantly (P < 0.05). It is shown that Huang Qi Wu Wu Decoction may enhance the therapeutic effects for pulmonary heart disease, regulate the metabolism of plasma proteins, and improve the life quality of the patients.
