[Clinical study of allergic rhinitis treated by "bu qi gu biao" therapy].

The authors summarized 500 cases of allergic rhinitis treated by "Bu Qi Gu Biao" therapy since 1980. After treatment, long term curative effect was 87%. Moreover, the authors had observed serum IgE, IgA and IgG, plasma cyclic nucleotides, blood flow in nasal mucosa, and ultrastructure of nasal mucosa before and after the treatment in 200 cases. The results indicated that "Bu Qi Gu Biao" therapy could adjust immune function and cyclic nucleotides metabolism in organism, improve blood flow in nasal mucosa tissue, restore or improve cell's shape and function and eliminate partial deposition of immune compound in vascular basement membrane. Therefore, it could control or eliminate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
