摘要

Objective: To observe the effect of Astragalus Injection (Al) on levels of blood selenium (Se) and cytokines

and T cellular immune function with viral myocarditis (VM) in children.Methods: Eighty children with VM were randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group consisted of 38 patients

to whom conventional therapy

including energy mixture

vitamin C and coenzyme Q10

etc. were given. The treated group (n = 42)

to whom combination therapy of conventional therapy and Al were given. The levels of blood Se and cytokine

including interleukin-1 (IL-1)

interleukin-6 (IL-6)

tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)

and also evaluation of T lymphocyte subsets and cardiac function were observed.Results: The results showed that after treatment

the levels of blood Se were significantly higher (P<0. 01)

while IL-1

IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower (P<0.01) than those before treatment in the control group. The left ventricular end diameter (LVED) were significantly decreased (P<0.01)

left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were significantly increased than those before treatment in the treated group(P<0.01

P<0.05). T lymphocyte subsets got normalized (P<0.01)

and compared with the control group

the difference was significant (P<0.01).Conclusion: Astragalus membranaceus possesses anti-viral effect

adjusts the balance of cytokine and T cellular immunity

and improves the clinical manifestation and cardiac function. It is an effective approach in treating viral myocarditis.
