title: [Relation of coronary heart disease based on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and prostaglandin, blood platelet function, and protein C].
abstract: The relationship between 68 cases of thromboxane B2(TXB2), 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-K-PGF1 alpha), beta-thromboglobulin (beta TG), platelet factor 4 (PF4), protein C antigen (PC:Ag), total-proteins (T-Ps) with coronary heart disease (CHD) based on TCM syndrome differentiation were studied. 45 cases of male, 23 cases of female, they were divided into 30 cases of blood stasis group and 38 cases of Qi syndrome group. 39 healthy subjects of same age and sex were chosen as the control group. The results were as follows: The TXB2, beta TG, PF4 in CHD were higher than those of control. 6-K-PGF1 alpha was lower (P less than 0.05, P less than 0.01) respectively. The TXB2 in blood stasis was significantly higher than that of Qi syndrome while the 6-K-PGF1 alpha in Qi Syndrome was significantly lower than that of blood stasis syndrome (P less than 0.01). The PC:Ag, T-Ps in CHD were higher than those of the control. The PC:Ag in blood stasis was lower and was higher in Qi syndrome (P less than 0.01). It showed that microthrombosis formed in blood stasis group caused blood flow slowly, while coronary-pathy and/or coronary spasm were the major pathologic change in Qi syndrome. Elevated PC:Ag, T-Ps in Qi syndrome showed that there were complementary action to hypercoagulation in Qi syndrome to eliminate coagulation factor to prevent coagulation happening and stimulation of fibrinolysin activator, promoting fibrinogenolysis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
