| Background:Bronchial asthma(BA)is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world.More than 10% of the earth’s population is suffering from it,and its prevalence is still rising.Exploring new treatment strategies(such as adjuvant therapy)is the key to better control asthma.In the past decade,the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of BA has been the focus of research.The results of these studies confirm the link between vitamin D deficiency and overall deterioration of lung function and symptoms in asthmatic patients.By further exploring the role and mechanism of vitamin D and its receptor in the occurrence and development of asthma,we can help people better understand BA,so as to provide a new way for the prevention and treatment of asthma.Objective:To observe the difference in the treatment effect of vitamin D-assisted therapy on the basis of conventional therapy in improving adult BA,and further explore the changes of vitamin D receptor(VDR)and inflammatory factor level in patients,so as to provide clinical experimental data support for the clinical application of vitamin D-assisted therapy of bronchial asthma.Methods:108 adult BA patients received by our hospital were randomly divided into routine treatment group(group A),routine dose of vitamin D treatment group(group B)and loading dose of vitamin D treatment group(Group C).The patients in group B and group C were treated with 400 u / D and 800 u / D vitamin D supplements respectively.The changes of ACT score,serum 25(OH)D3,VDR,Ig E,IL-4 and IL-17 A were measured before and 30,60 and 90 days after the intervention.Results:1.The serum 25(OH)D3 and VDR of BA patients were significantly lower than those of healthy people(P < 0.05),and the serum levels of Ig E,IL-4 and IL-17 A were significantly higher than those of healthy people(P < 0.05).Linear regression analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between serum VDR and serum 25(OH)D3,Ig E,IL-4 and IL-17A(P < 0.05).2.ACT score showed that after 90 days of treatment,the total control rate of group B was 83.33%,and that of group C was 86.11%,(χ2=0.107 P=0.99,P>0.05);There was no significant difference between group B and group C.he total control rate of group A was:75%,group B was:83%,(χ2=0.758 P=0.995,P>0.05)There was no significant difference between the two groups 。Groups A and C χ2=1.31P=0.975,P >0.05),There was no significant difference between group A and group C.3.The serum levels of 25(OH)D3 and VDR in group B and group C were significantly increased with the prolongation of treatment time(P < 0.05),and higher than that in group A,showing a significant time and vitamin D dose-dependent;linear regression analysis showed that 25(OH)D3 and VDR were significantly positively correlated(r = 0.78,P < 0.001).4.The serum levels of Ig E,IL-4 and IL-17 A in group B and C decreased significantly with the prolongation of treatment time(P < 0.05),showing a significant time and vitamin D dose-dependent;linear regression analysis showed that Ig E,IL-4and IL-17 A were positively correlated with VDR(P < 0.05).Conclusion:1Vitamin D can not significantly improve the lung function and asthma control rate of BA patients,which is not better than conventional therapy alone.2 Vitamin D can significantly increase the expression level of VDR and inhibit the expression of related inflammatory factors in asthmatic patients.Can be used as key link in the control of asthmatic inflammation. |
