The blood and urine prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) in 106 cases of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer were investigated by RIA. Meanwhile, the relationship among PGE2, PGF2 alpha and the Syndromes of TCM were approached. The result showed: In comparing with the normal control, the blood and urine PGE2 of 106 cases were obviously higher (P < 0.01), but PGF2 alpha was not (P > 0.05). The urine PGE2 and PGF2 alpha of moderate gastritis were markedly higher than those of mild gastritis (P < 0.05), but there were no significant difference between blood PGE2, PGF2 alpha of moderate gastritis and those of mild gastritis (P > 0.05). The blood PGE2, PGE2/PGF2 alpha ratio of Dampness-Heat in Spleen-Stomach Syndrome and the blood PGE2/PGF2 alpha ratio of incoordination between Liver and Stomach Syndrome were higher than those of Spleen Stomach Deficiency Syndrome in all the cases (P < 0.05). Compared with the normal control, both the decreased amplitude of blood PGE2/urine PGE2 and increased amplitude of blood PGF2 alpha/urine PGF2 alpha ratio showed as following: Spleen-Stomach Deficiency Syndrome > incoordination between Liver and stomach Syndrome > Dampness-Heat in Spleen-Stomach Syndrome. This study suggested: (1) There was a close relation between PGE2 and chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer; (2) There was no correlation between blood PGE2, PGF2 alpha and urine PGE2, PGF2 alpha; (3) PG was possibly a useful objective parameter to the Syndrome Differentiation in TCM.

To study the relationship between the immunological changes and syndrome (Zheng,) groups by TCM of ITP, the T-lymphocyte subsets, B-lymphocyte, NK cell, platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG, PAIgA, PAIgM) and antiplatelet-autoantibodies (GPIIb, GPIIIa, GP I b) of 66 patients with ITP were assisted using APAAP and ELISA method separately. It was found that the T-lymphocyte subsets, PAIg and syndrome groups of ITP were closely related. From the group of blood-heat (Xuerewangxing) to the group of deficiency of both Qi and blood, the group of asthenia of both Spleen and Kidney, the group of deficiency of Liver-yin and Kidney-yin, and the group of deficiency Yin and Yang Ts lymphocyte successfully increased (from 29. 0 +/- 8.0% to 47.2 +/- 10.0%), Th/Ts ratio declined (from 1.35 +/- 0.60% to 0.69 +/- 10%), PAIg increased gradually except for PAIgM,PAIgG of the group of deficiency Yin and Yang. Only the Th of the group of asthenia of both Spleen and Kidney among 5 syndrome groups was decreased significantly and contrary to the group of deficiency of Liver-Yin and Kidney-Yin. These results indicated that every syndrome group has specific characteristics, and immunological changes of ITP could have prognostic value.

This paper reports the determined results of OKT3, OKT4, OKT8, ERFC, smIg and CIC, TMCA, TGA in 31 cases of Graves disease and in 20 normal controls. The results showed that the OKT3, OKT4, OKT8, ERFC were significantly lower than those in the normal controls, whereas the smIg was higher than that in normal controls. The difference between the two groups was very significant. Even though the ratio of OKT4/OKT8 showed no significance of both. Typology of Graves disease according to the theory of TCM, all 31 cases were divided into two types: (1) 14 cases of depression of Liver-energy and asthenia of Spleen; (2) 17 cases of deficiency of yin leads to hyperactivity of Fire. The OKT8 and the ratio of OKT4/OKT8 in the latter respectively were lower and higher than those of the former. The difference between the two types was significant (P less than 0.01, P less than 0.05) whereas the positive rates of the CIC, TMCA, TGA also were higher in the deficiency of Yin leads to hyperactivity of Fire than those in the depression of Liver-energy and asthenia of Spleen. After treatment with combined TCM-WM on 31 cases of Graves disease, it was found that the OKT4, OKT8, ERFC were significantly elevated, the smIg was markedly decreased than those without treatment. It was also found that smIg markedly decreased in two types, OKT8, ratio of OKT4/OKT8 in the latter and ERFC in both types all returned to normal. Remainder indexes had no obvious change before and after treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a kind of disease associated with immunity. At present a great quantity of study on ITP has been made on humoral and cellular immunity. But there are few reports about the relationship between the types based on the differential diagnosis of TCM and immune rationale of ITP. In order to deeply explore the relationship between the types based on differential diagnosis of TCM and immune rationale of ITP., the authors measured PAIg and T lymphocyte subsets of 34 ITP patients of asthenia of both Spleen and Kidney. The value of PAIgG increased in both types of Spleen failing to control blood (SFCB) and deficiency of Spleen-yin and Kidney -yin (DSYKY), and the value of PAIgG of the type of DSYKY was significantly higher than that of SFCB (P less than 0.01). OKT3, OKT4/OKT8 of the type of SFCB remarkably decreased (P less than 0.05), OKT4, OKT4/OKT8 of DSYKY also remarkably decreased (P less than 0.001), while OKT8 significantly increased (P less than 0.001). The above results suggested that the type of DSYKY has more serious immune dysfunction than the type of SFCB, and the types of SFCB and DSYKY has close relationship with PAIg T lymphocyte subsets.

Micronucleated exfoliated cell (MEC) of oral mucosa of 40 patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and 54 normal controls were observed by means of micronucleus test. The frequency of MEC of two groups were 9.56/1000 and 2.55/1000 respectively, and their difference was remarkably significant (P < 0.001). 22 cases were treated by TCM Qiang Ji Jian Li Capsule. The frequency of MEC after treatment fell from 14.38/1000 to 6.00/1000. The difference was significant (P < 0.002). The frequency of Spleen-asthenia group higher than that of non-Spleen-asthenia (P < 0.05). The results revealed that. The patients with MG had genotoxic damage. (2) The constitution with the Spleen-asthenia and the genotoxic damage was related. (3) Qiang Ji Jian Li Capsule of invigorating the Spleen and benefiting Qi could reduce the genotoxic damage.

The histopathologic type of 189 cases of chronic glomerulonephritis (GN) were confirmed by renal biopsies, they were subdivided into 3 groups. 77 patients of Western medicine (WM) group was treated by conventional WM (prednison or CTX), and after treatment the total effective rate was 55.8%. The TCM-WM group was treated by the same WM plus treatment according to Syndrome Differentiation with Chinese medicinal herbs, and the total effective rate was 86% in 50 patients. The TCM group was treated by Chinese medicinal herbs, and the total effective rate was 67.3% in 62 cases. There was very significant difference (P < 0.01) between the WM and the TCM-WM group. Among the patients of TCM-WM and TCM groups, 67% of 112 cases were manifested as Dampness-Heat Syndrome, so it suggested that one of the important method for GN treatment is clearing away Dampness-Heat. The effects of TCM-WM group is much better than the WM group in treating mesangio-proliferative GN and membranous GN. It was difficult for WM in treating IgA nephropathy, membrano-proliferative GN and focal glomerulosclerosis, but Chinese medicinal herbs were effective with replenishing Qi and strengthening the Spleen, clearing away Dampness-Heat, promoting blood circulation and relieving Stasis, etc.

For ten years (1979-1989), 150 cases of infantile nephrotic syndrome were treated by integrated TCM and Western medicine (WM). The WM group (50 cases) was treated by conventional WM drugs (prednisone, CLB, etc) and the TCM-WM group (100 cases) was treated by the above-mentioned WM plus treatment according to Syndrome Differentiation with decoction of Chinese medicinal herbs. Wulin San, Zhenwu Tang and Zhibai Dihuang Tang were selected in treating Spleen-Qi Deficiency distressed by Dampness, both Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency and both Liver-Kidney Yin Deficiency Syndrome respectively. The total effective rate was 100%, and the efficacy of TCM-WM group was higher than that of WM group (P < 0.005). The efficacy of TCM-WM treatment of nephritic nephropathy was far better than that of simple nephropathy (P < 0.05). Also the efficacy of TCM-WM was superior in raising plasma albumin and reducing blood cholesterol than that of WM (P < 0.001). The cellular immunity function and plasma cortisol of TCM-WM group were significantly improved than that of WM, P < 0.01 and 0.001 respectively. The result showed that the curative effect of the TCM-WM group in treating nephrotic syndrome was much better than that of WM alone.

Analysing the relations between TCM syndrome differentiation type and pathology in 312 patients with gastric cancer, the authors put forward the syndrome differentiation type of deficiency of vitality and excess in superficiality. The studies showed that the four syndrome types of deficiency of vitality such as Spleen-Stomach deficiency, Qi-Xue deficiency, Yin deficiency and inner heat, Spleen-Kidney Yang deficiency and the three syndrome types of excess in superficiality such as Liver-Stomach disorder, blood stasis and stagnation of Qi, Phlegm-dampness and stagnation of toxic. The same changes in pathologic characteristic of both were from early to late stage, the infiltration getting deeper, the tumor getting larger and the metastasis of lymph nodes around the stomach from little to much. Their difference was that in the deficiency of vitality syndrome-type, the chief manifestation was in nest or spread infiltration type which became serious by degrees, whereas in excess in superficiality type, the reaction of lymphoidocytes around the cancer was decreasing. The studies also showed that in most syndrome types of Spleen-Kidney Yang deficiency and Phlegm-dampness and stagnation of toxic, the tumor occurred in wide-range and the degree of tissue differentiation was quite low. The authors suggested that there might be morphopathologic basis in TCM syndrome differentiation types and the conclusion has practical value in guiding clinics.

Analysis of mean artery pressure (MAP-2) according to the differentiation of symptom complex of TCM can predict the occurrence of hypertension syndrome of pregnancy (HSP) at patients' first visit to hospital during their middle gestational period (less than 24 pregnant weeks). 424 pregnant women (MAP-2 greater than or equal to 12kPa) were divided into 4 groups and given preventive treatment as follows: (1) The control group, 122 women, no drugs were given; (2) the Theragan group, 102 women; (3) the TCM (A) group, 100 women, those with Liver-Kidney deficiency of Yin or no apparent signs were given Qiju Dihuang Wan, and those with Spleen-Kidney deficiency of Yang were given Shenqiwan; (4) the TCM(B) group, 100 women, were given Salvia miltiorrhiza plus (A) group's drugs. The results of prediction: (1) The occurrence rate of HSP in the MAP-2 less than 12kPa group was 10. 5%; in the MAP-2 greater than or equal to 12kPa group, 49.2%. The difference was significant. (2) The rate of deficiency of Yin in the MAP-2 greater than or equal to 12kPa was significantly higher than in the MAP-2 less than 12kPa. The rate of HSP in the deficiency of Yin was higher than in the nondeficiency of Yin. The rate of HSP increased to 70. 7% in the MAP-2 greater than or equal to 12kPa with deficiency of Yin. The results of prevention: (1) The occurrence rates of HSP in 4 groups were 49.2%, 30.4%, 15% and 14% respectively. (2) There was no side effect for mother and infant after preventive treatment. No eclampsia occurred.

Using monoclonal antibody technique, T lymphocyte cell subgroups, immunoglobins, complements, and circulating immune complexes (CIC) were measured in 60 patients with pigmentary degeneration of retina (RP) and 40 normal subjects. The results indicated that T1, T4, T8, C3 and C4 of the patients were lower than those of the controls; T4/T8, IgM and CIC of the patients were more than those of the controls. The differences between the patients and the controls were remarkably significant. Similarly, by investigating the objective quota of TCM differentiation of syndromes, the authors divided the RP patients into Liver-Kidney deficiency of Yin and Spleen-Kidney deficiency of Yang groups, and compared them with normal subjects. The results indicated that the two groups underwent similar change of immunology. But they had their own characteristics. The Yin-deficiency group showed remarkable increase of T4/T8 and normal T4; the Yang-deficiency group showed remarkable reduction of T1 and reduction of T4.
