title: [Effect of yishen jianpi drugs on T lymphocyte subsets, soluble interleukin-2 receptor and red blood cell immunity of senile deficiency syndrome patients].
abstract: To evaluate the effect of Yishen Jianpi drugs (YJD) on immunological function of the Senile Deficiency Syndrome (SDS) patients, T lymphocyte subsets, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2 R), the red blood cell immunity, the rate of red blood cell C 3b receptor rosette (RBC-C 3 bRR) and red blood cell immune complex rosette (RBC-ICR) were dynamically investigated in 31 SDS patients as well as in normal controls.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the percentage of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio and the rate of RBC-C 3 bRR in SDS were all significantly lower than that of control (P < 0.01). The further analysis also revealed that between the immunological indices of CD4/CD8 ratio and SIL-2 R in SDS patients were markedly negative correlated (r = -0.572, P < 0.01) while positive correlated (r = 0.435, P < 0.02) markedly between CD4/CD8 and RBC-C 3 bRR. After treatment with YJD, in comparing pretreatmentally, all the above-mentioned immunological indices, following the relief of clinical manifestation of SDS, they were corresponding negatively changed, and there were marked significance (P < 0.01) except red blood cell immunity. It suggested that YJD would markedly improve and/or regulate immunological function in SDS.
