[Phagocytosis of platelet in coronary heart disease with blood-stasis syndrome].
Thirty six healthy people and 64 coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with blood-stasis syndrome (BSS) were studied on the phagocytosis of platelets under electron microscope. The results showed that the number of latex particles which were phagocytized by platelet and the number of platelets which phagocytized the latex particles were all decreased markedly in CHD patients with BSS. It also showed that most of the platelets with active phagocytosis were in moderate-size. The proportion of big platelets and the platelets containing a large number of glycogen particles were much more in CHD patients with BSS. The platelets in CHD patients change their shapes readily with active exocytosis and aggregation. Therefore, it was considered that the abnormalities of some roles of platelets might be the basic changes in CHD with BSS.
