Abstract：Objective To observe the influence of Ginseng essence-nourishing tablets on the levels of IL-1β、TNF-α andMMP-9 in high altitude cerebral edema patients.Methods Sixty-one patients with high altitude cerebral edema were treated with hyperbaric oxygen, intracraninal pressure, water and electrolyte balance maintenance, and oxygen inhalation.They were randomly divided into the observation group (31 cases) that was given Ginseng essence nourishing tablets and the control group (30 cases) that was not given such tablets. Their levels of IL-1β、MMP-9 and TNF-α of were measured by ELISA and immunofluorescence in both groups after fourteen days of treatment. Meanwhile, MMSE and ADL of these patients were evaluated.Results There was no statistically significant difference between the control group and observation group(P>0.05) in the concentration of IL-1β、TNF-γ and MMP-9 before treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01),but after fourteen days of treatment, the levels of these factors were significantly reduced, especially in the observation group (P<0.01).Conclusions By reducing the concentration of IL-1β、TNF-α and MMP-9, Ginseng essence nourishing tablets can alleviate the brain damage of hypoxic ischemia and improve clinical effects.
