title: [Syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine in chronic aplastic anemia; T-lymphocyte subpopulation in peripheral blood and erythrocyte C3b receptors].
abstract: In this paper, the Syndrome Differentiation in TCM and the determination on T-lymphocyte subpopulation and RBC C3b receptor were carried out by using indirect SPA assay and RBC C3b receptor ring test among 51 chronic aplastic anemia patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The OKT3, OKT4 and OKT4/OKT8 ratio in groups of Kidney-Yin Deficiency group were lower, while the OKT8 was higher than that of controls. In the group of both Kidney-Yin and Yang Deficiency, OKT4 and OKT4/OKT8 ratio were lower. and the value of OKT8 is higher than that of controls. The OKT8 in the Kidney-Yang Deficiency group was higher. and the ratio of OKT4/OKT8 was lower than that of controls. The OKT8 in the Kidney-Yin Deficiency group among three groups increased higher than that of other two groups. while the OKT4/OKT8 ratio reduced. The OKT4/OKT8 ratio in the group of both Kidney-Yin and Yang Deficiency was higher than that of Kidney-Yang Deficiency group. Among the three groups, the rosette rates of RBC C3b receptor were lower than controls. The above-mentioned data were statistically significant. These characteristic changes could be used as a reference of microcosmic Syndrome Differentiation and also a guide for how to apply the immunosuppressant and immunopotentiator.
