摘要

Objective:To observe the effect of Elephantopus scaber Linn on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), to investigate its effect on the MUC5AC hypersecretion of airway mucus mediated by neutrophil elastin in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD, and to observe its effect on lung function (FEV1,FEV1/FVC), so as to provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of COPD. Methods:160 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 80 cases each according to the numerical table method. The observation group was treated with aerosol inhalation of Elephantopus scaber Linn on the basis of conventional treatment. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. During the same period, 80 healthy patients were selected as the healthy control group. The expression of NE and MUC5AC in serum of observation group, control group and healthy control group before and after treatment was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The changes of lung function (FEV1,FEV1/FVC) after treatment in the observation group and the control group were compared and analyzed, and the efficacy of Elephantopus scaber Linn in patients with acute exacerbation of copd was observed. Results:Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared with the healthy control group, there were significant differences in serum NE and MUC5AC between the observation group and the control group (P<0.05). Serum NE, MUC5AC,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were significantly different in the observation group before and after treatment (P<0.05). Serum NE, MUC5AC,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were significantly different in the observation group before and after treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, there were significant differences in serum NE and MUC5AC in the observation group after treatment (P<0.05), and the increase of FEV1/FVC and FEV1 was significantly better than that of the control group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion:Elephantopus scaber Linn can significantly improve the clinical treatment effect of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD, improve lung function and airway mucus hypersecretion. It can effectively inhibit the expression of NE and MUC5AC in the blood. There were significant differences in serum NE and MUC5AC between the observation group and the control group after treatment (P<0.05), showing a positive correlation, suggesting that inhibition of MUC5AC secretion by Elephantopus scaber Linn in patients with COPD may be related to NE-mediated pathways.
