title: [Changes of Ag-NORs of T lymphocytes and hemorheological indexes in old patients with blood stasis syndrome].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the changes of Ag-NORs of T lymphocytes and hemorheological indexes in old patients with blood stasis (BS) syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ag-NORs of T lymphocytes and hemorheological indexes in 54 old patients with blood stasis syndrome in the BS group were determined and compared with those in the control group consisted of 36 healthy persons.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Contents of Ag-NORs of T lymphocytes in the BS group and the control group were 5.857 +/- 0.396 and 6.111 +/- 0.541, respectively, showing significant difference (P < 0.05). Some abnormal hemorheological indexes were seen in the BS group, which were significant different to those in the control group (P < 0.05 ). Correlation analysis showed that RVP, ESR, K1 and K2 were negatively correlated with Ag-NORs of T lymphocytes (r = -0.273, -0.335, -0.301, -0.276 respectively; P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), while aggregation index was positively correlated with Ag-NORs of T lymphocytes (r = 0.389, P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The lowered Ag-NORs of T lymphocytes and abnormal hemorrheological changes might be one of the important reasons for the lowered immunity of aged patients with BS syndrome.
