Objective To observe the effect of Langchuangding Granule(Granule for Lupus Erythematosus)on the apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocyte(PBLC)and its [Ca2+]i of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)patients.Methods The 55 SLE patients were randomized into Western+Chinese Medicine group(28 cases)and Western Medicine group(27 cases).The Western Medicine group was mainly given prednisone for oral taking and the Western+Chinese Medicine group given prednisone and Herbal Langchuangding Granule for oral taking.Both groups were treated for 3 months in succession and observed on the apoptosis rate of PBLC in vitro at different period of time and the changes of [Ca2+]i before and after treatment for comparison.Results The apoptosis rate of PBLC was obviously decreased at 0 time phase
but with the time going on in culture in vitro it became increased and level of [Ca2+]i decreased.In Western+Chinese Medicine group
the impaired apoptosis of PBLC was obviously improved and [Ca2+]i increased
compared with those of Western Medicine group
the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion In the regulation of impaired lymphocyte apoptosis of SLE patients
the Langchuangding Granule has synergetic effect with prednisone
and the mechanism may be related to its promotion on inward flowing of calcium from outside of lymphocyte.
