Study on the Mechanism of ZhenQiFuZheng in the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis Based on Intestinal Flora and Metabolites
ZhenQi FuZheng granules has been used to improve the immune function of human body, protect the bone marrow and adrenal cortex function and promote the recovery of positive function in traditional Chinese medicine care, especially with the immune imbalance diseases like post-surgery, chemotherapy and rhinitis. This project intends to establish AR(allergic rhinitis)specimen library, cell and animal model experiment, combining clinical cohort research with applied basic research, further assess the therapeutic mechanism of ZhenQiFuZheng granules in AR. We assume that ZhenQi FuZheng granules could cause the metabolic omics changes of nasal inflammatory factors and nasal secretions in AR patients, thus improving the type 2 inflammation level of allergic rhinitis.
• Adult patients (18-65 years).
• Patients who visited the Department of Otolaryngology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and are diagnosed as allergic rhinitis .
