Abstract:Objective:To explore the effect of conventional therapy combined with thymic pentapeptide on the immune function of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with diabetes mellitus(PTB-DM)through Meta-analysis. Method:Based on the PRISMA guidelines,multiple Chinese and English databases(from the establishment of the databases to July 13,2025)were retrieved,and observational studies that met the criteria were screened out. Data analysis was conducted using Stata 18.0 software,and the combined effect values were calculated using the fixed/random effects model to obtain clinical studies on the intervention of immune levels in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with diabetes by conventional therapy combined with thymic pentapeptide. The language of the literature was limited to Chinese or English. Results of extracting literature data that met the research requirements:(1)A total of 11 literature data that met the requirements were included (all in Chinese),and a total of 1,037 patients were included (520 cases in the conventional therapy combined with thymic pentappeptide observation group and 517 cases in the conventional therapy control group).(2)The cure rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (OR=2.35,95%CI:1.97-2.81,P < 0.05). The cure rates of different methods from high to low were:conventional therapy combined with thymic pentapeptide (OR=2.35).(3)The effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (OR=3.81,95%CI:3.00-4.83,P < 0.05).(4)The level of CD3+ in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (OR=69.97 vs 53.77),the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ was significantly improved (OR=1.4 vs 1.2),and the immune indicators such as CD4+ and CD8+ were all better than those in the control group. Conclusion:Conventional therapy combined with thymic pentapeptide intervention on the immune level of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with diabetes can better improve the clinical cure rate and effective rate of patients with PTB-DM compared with the cure of conventional therapy alone. The immune function of patients treated by the combined method has been effectively enhanced,but the specific advantages of different methods still need to be further explored.
