Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of ozone hydrotherapy on patients with atopic dermatitis. Methods A total of 46 cases of atopic dermatitis patients were randomly divided into research group and control group. The control group was treated with general therapy (Cetirizine hydrochloride oral drops for antihistamine, sanyrene moisten the skin and desonide ointment external use), and the research group was treated ozone hydrotherapy on the basis of the general treatment. Before and after treatment, IL-6 and IFN-γ levels of the blood were detected and compared between the two groups. The efficacy of the two groups before and after treatment as well as the improvement of the quality of life was assessed. Results The serum IL-6 levels in patients with atopic dermatitis was elevated while IFN-γ level was decreased, and there was a significant difference compared with the normal healthy physical examination persons. With IL-6 decreased, IFN-γ increased after treatment, there were significant differences of changes of cytokine levels before and after treatment in the research group. Change of control group before and after the treatment had no significant difference. The clinical efficacy and quality of life improvement of the research group was better, and there was a significant difference between two groups. Conclusions Atopic dermatitis has the imbalance of the differentiation of Th1/Th2 cells, and Ozone hydrotherapy has a certain effect on the serum IL-6 and IFN-γ levels and plays a role in the treatment of atopic dermatitis patients.
