Abstract:

The efficacy of Radix Astragali membranaceus ( AM) oral liquor combined with routine thera-py and routine therapy alone on T-lymphocyte subsets of peripheral blood in viral myocarditis patients havebeen studied comparatively. The results showed that the T-lymphocyte subsets profile and OKT4/OKT8 ratioof peripheral blood were significantly lower in viral myocarditis patients than that in healthy control ( P <0. 05, 0. 01 ) . Routine therapy combined with AM could singificantly enhance OKT3 , OKT4 and OKT4/OKT8ratio in the above-mentioned patients ( P< 0 . 05 , 0. 01 ) . The possible pharmacodynamic mechanism of com-bining routine therapy with AM in improving cell immunity in viral myocarditis patients was discussed.
