| Abstract | To observe and compare the effects of healthy instruction and Zhiqi granules on lead, calcium, iron, and zinc levels in serum of children with moderately elevated blood lead levels (BLLs). At the same time, the possible mechanisms were discussed. A total of 60 eligible boys aged 4-6 years were selected and divided into two groups (the healthy instruction group and the Zhiqi group) randomly. The boys in the healthy instruction group only received the healthy instruction. Besides the healthy instruction, the boys in the Zhiqi group received 2 g Zhiqi granules orally one time daily. The study lasted for 4 weeks. BLL and serum iron, zinc, and calcium levels of the subjects in the two groups before and after interventions were measured and compared. After the interventions, the BLL in the Zhiqi group lowered significantly, but the decrease of the BLL in the healthy instruction group is not significant, and there was a significant difference in the BLL between the two groups. When the trial was completed, the serum iron level in the Zhiqi group increased significantly, but that in the healthy instruction group changed slightly, and a significant difference was seen between the two groups. There were no significant differences in both serum Ca and Zn levels in these two groups before and after the interventions. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in serum Ca and Zn levels between the two groups after the interventions. The results suggested that daily intake of Zhiqi granules for 4 weeks together with healthy instruction resulted in a decrease of the BLL and an elevation of the serum iron level. |
