Objective:
To assess the effects of taking the "Pingzhi Tablets" on infiltration of inflammatory in tissues of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps.
Method:
Nasal polyps from taking the "Pingzhi Tablets" treated patients (40 cases) and untreated patients (40 cases) were investigated. The samples were stained by HE and SABC-AP immunohistochemical methods.
Result:
Compared with untreated polyps, the polyps treated by taking the "Pingzhi Tablets" contained significantly lower tissue densities of CD 11b+, CD7+ positive cells. Although the densities of CD 19+ positive cells were lower in treated polyps, the differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusion:
The findings demonstrated tissue effects of treatment with taking "Pingzhi Tablets" and the treatment was effective in suppressing the inflammatory cell infiltration.
