title: [Analysis of the correlations between immunological changes and syndrome groups in patients with immunological thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)].
abstract: To study the relationship between the immunological changes and syndrome (Zheng,) groups by TCM of ITP, the T-lymphocyte subsets, B-lymphocyte, NK cell, platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG, PAIgA, PAIgM) and antiplatelet-autoantibodies (GPIIb, GPIIIa, GP I b) of 66 patients with ITP were assisted using APAAP and ELISA method separately. It was found that the T-lymphocyte subsets, PAIg and syndrome groups of ITP were closely related. From the group of blood-heat (Xuerewangxing) to the group of deficiency of both Qi and blood, the group of asthenia of both Spleen and Kidney, the group of deficiency of Liver-yin and Kidney-yin, and the group of deficiency Yin and Yang Ts lymphocyte successfully increased (from 29. 0 +/- 8.0% to 47.2 +/- 10.0%), Th/Ts ratio declined (from 1.35 +/- 0.60% to 0.69 +/- 10%), PAIg increased gradually except for PAIgM,PAIgG of the group of deficiency Yin and Yang. Only the Th of the group of asthenia of both Spleen and Kidney among 5 syndrome groups was decreased significantly and contrary to the group of deficiency of Liver-Yin and Kidney-Yin. These results indicated that every syndrome group has specific characteristics, and immunological changes of ITP could have prognostic value.
