The efficacy of tacrolimus ointment combined with thymic peptide on the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B complicated with lichen planus of mouth and its influence on immunologic function
ObjectiveTo analyze the tacrolimus ointment combined with thymic peptide on the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B complicated with lichen planus of mouth and its influence on immunologic function. MethodsA total of 118 patients with chronic hepatitis B complicated with lichen planus of mouth treated in our hospital from September 2015 to January 2017 were selected as the subjects and randomly divided into two groups according to the order of admission.Control group was given triamcinolone acetonide dental pastetreatment combined with thymic peptide,while observation group was treated with tacrolimus ointment combined with thymic peptide.The clinical efficacy,T lymphocyte subgroup,alanine transaminase (ALT) recurrence rate,hepatitis B virus surface e antigen (HBeAg),hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV DNA) negative rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups. ResultsAfter 4 month treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group (83.05%) was significantly higher than that of control group (67.80%),with statistical significance(P<0.05).The levels of CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the two groups were higher than those before treatment,the level of CD8+ was lower than that before treatment (P<0.05),while the levels of CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,the level of CD8+ was significantly lower than that in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).The HBeAg negative rate of observation group (66.10%) was significantly higher than that in control group (42.37%),the negative rate of HBV DNA (76.27%) was significantly higher than that in control group (55.93%),with statistical significance(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions of observation group (11.86%) was significantly lower than that of control group (28.81%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). ConclusionTacrolimus ointment combined with thymic peptide is effective in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B complicated with lichen planus of mouth,which can effectively improve immune dysfunction,enhance HBeAg and HBV DNA negative rate, improve the prognosis of patients.
