Objective To study the effect of Bushen Qiangji Granule(Granule for reinforcing kidney to strengthen the spine) on CD4+T lymphocytes of peripheral blood in patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS).Methods Thirty AS patients were randomized into Bushen Qiangji Granule group and salicylazosulfapyridine(SASP) group with 15 in each.Before treatment and 12 weeks after treatment the peripheral blood CD4+T lymphocyte samples were collected and CD4+T lymphocytes were separated.The expression of Fas
FasL
Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by RT-PCR.Results Bushen Qiangji Granule promoted the expression of Fas and FasL(P<0.05 or P<0.01)
while the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was not significantly affected.Conclusion Bushen Qiangji Granule induces apoptosis of CD4+T lymphocytes through affecting the expression of Fas-FasL.
