[Study on the healing effect of pneumoconiosis with tetrandrine and massive whole-lung lavage].

To study the healing effect of pneumoconiosis with tetrandrine and massive whole-lung lavage. Choose 34 confirmed pneumoconiosis patients as drug treatment group and complex treatment group, and 17 tested workers as control group. Collected the content of TGF-beta1 and P III P which in these three investigated groups. Drug treatment group and complex treatment group of patients improved the clinical symptoms and lung function Compared with Pretreatment, the FVC, FEV1.0, FEV1.0/FVC, MVV was obviously higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05). Complex treatment group than in the drug treatment group increased more significantly (P < 0.05). The level of TGF-beta1 and P III P was reduced after complex treatment (P < 0.05). Moreover,the level of TGF-beta1 and P III P in these patients are lower than in those patients treated with tetrandrine combined with whole lung lavage (P < 0.05). Tetrandrine combined with whole-lung lavage could significantly retard the development of pneumoconiosis by lessening the TGF-beta1 and P III P in serum.
