Abstract:

Objective To explore the clinical effect of inhalation budesonide suspension (Pulmicort Respules) for the treatment of asthma in children.Methods One hundred and seven children with asthma treated in Shenyang 245 Hospital from May 2017 to May 2019 were included as subjects, among which, 52 cases (2 cases were lost to follow-up) in the control group received conventional basic treatment, and 55 cases (3 cases were lost to follow-up) in the experimental group were given inhalation treatment of budesonide suspension combined with conventional treatment. Then the clinical therapeutic effects as well as the changes in CD4 + T lymphocytes, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and forced vital capacity (FVC) levels between the two groups were compared. Results After 7 days of treatment, the total effective rate of the experimental group (96.2%, 50/52) was significantly higher than that of the control group (80.0%, 40/50), with the significant statistical difference (χ 2=4.94, P<0.05). In addition, after 7 days of treatment, the percentage of CD4 + T lymphocyte in total lymphocyte ((34.32±4.15) %), the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + (1.20±0.28), CRP level ((12.38±2.98) mg/L), and IL-6 level ((54.23±6.54) ng/L) in the experimental group were obviously lower than those in the control group ((45.37±3.08) %, 1.67±0.16, (35.82±7.31) mg/L, and (74.24±8.11) ng/L, respectively), all with the significant statistical differences (t=13.35, 9.10, 18.54, and 11.99, respectively, all P<0.05). Furthermore, after 7 days of treatment, the levels of FEV1 and FVC in the experimental group ((2.41±0.32) L and (1.45±0.28) L) were remarkably higher than those in the control group ((2.08±0.47) L and (1.23±0.22) L), with the significant statistical differences (t=3.62, and 3.86, both P<0.05). Conclusion Inhalation budesonide suspension is effective for the treatment of children with asthma, which can effectively regulate the levels of CD4 + T lymphocyte and CD4 +/CD8 + in children with asthma, improve pulmonary function and accelerate the recovery of children’s condition.
