Immune Regulation of 'Nourishing Yin and Qi, Activating Blood Circulation and Detoxifying' in Elderly Diabetic Patients Complicated with Coronary Heart Disease

Objective: To investigate the immune regulation of "nourishing Yin and Qi, activating blood circulation and detoxifying" in elderly diabetic patients complicated with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and analyze its possible mechanisms. Methods: 69 diabetic patients aged 50-75 years and complicated with ACS, from March 2019 to February 2020 in the Department of Cardiology and Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities were randomly divided into control group (34 cases) and treatment group (35 cases). The control group was given western medicine standardized treatment, while the treatment group were treated with HJJR on the basis of routine Western medical treatment, and the therapeutic course for al1 were 2 months. Before and after treating, in the two groups, the levels of pro-inflammatory factors [C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF - α) and anti-inflammatory factors [IL-10, adiponectin (ADPN)] were detected. The clinical symptoms of chest tightness, chest pain, attacking frequency and duration, palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue and the total scores of syndromes in the two groups were detected. At the same time, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and adverse reactions were observed. Results: Compared with before treatment, after treating, the levels of pro-inflammatory factors CRP, IL-8, TNF - α in the two groups were evidently decreased, while the anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and ADPN were obviously increased, but the changes in the treatment group were more significant (all P
