Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of tetrandrine combined with acetylcysteine on exercise tolerance, pulmonary function, transforming growth factor‑β1 (TGF-β1) and matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7) in silicosis patients. A retrospective analysis was performed on 149 silicosis patients admitted to the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Zhangqiu District between August, 2015 and September, 2017. Of the 149 patients, 70 patients treated with acetylcysteine comprised the control group, and 79 treated with tetrandrine combined with acetylcysteine constituted the study group. The concentrations of serum TGF-β1 and MMP-7 before and after treatment were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the exercise tolerance and pulmonary function were compared. Chest distress, chest pain, cough, expectoration and dyspnea in the two groups were relieved after treatment, and the improvement rates of chest distress, chest pain and dyspnea in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the results of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the 6MWT in the two groups was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the improvement effect in the study group was more marked than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the pulmonary function indexes between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in serum TGF-β1 and MMP-7 expression levels between the two groups (P>0.05). By contrast, after treatment, the levels in the two groups were significantly decreased, with the levels in the study group being significantly lower than that the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, tetrandrine combined with acetylcysteine can improve pulmonary function and exercise tolerance of patients with silicosis by inhibiting the expressions of TGF-β1 and MMP-7, thus improving clinical efficacy.
