The effect of Qianliekang tablets on the clinical efficacy, immune function, and inflammatory factor levels in the prostatic fluid of elderly chronic prostatitis patients.

PURPOSE

To study the effect of Qianliekang tablets on the clinical efficacy, immune function, and inflammatory factor levels in the prostatic fluid of elderly chronic prostatitis (CP) patients.

METHODS

106 elderly CP patients admitted to our hospital between June 2018 and June 2020 were recruited as the study cohort and randomly divided into a regular group and an observation group. The regular group was administered tamsulosin hydrochloride, and the observation group was administered a combination of tamsulosin hydrochloride and Qianliekang tablets. After a course of treatment, the clinical efficacy, the changes in the patients' symptoms, the function scores, the prostate ultrasound indicators, the changes in the T lymphocyte subsets, and the inflammatory factor expression levels in the prostatic fluid before and after the treatment were measured and compared in the two groups. The occurrence of adverse effects during the treatment was statistically analyzed.

RESULTS

The overall effectiveness rate in the observation group was superior to the overall effectiveness rate in the regular group (94.34% vs. 75.47%, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the patient clinical data before the treatment in the two groups (P > 0.05). After the treatment, the CD /CD immune function indicators, the prostatic fluid inflammatory factor levels, the symptom function scores, and the prostate ultrasound indicators in the observation group were better than they were in the regular group (all P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in the incidence of adverse effects between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Qianliekang tablets can improve the curative effect in elderly CP patients, enhance their immune function, and reduce the inflammatory factor expression levels in their prostatic fluid.
