Abstract:
Objective To Analyze CD4+ cell count which embodies curative effect in HIV and patients with AIDS, who have treated with TCM for half a year. Methods According to CD4+cell count, the patients were divided into 4 phases. Their CD4+cell count were analyzed before and after the treatment. Results 1.Rank sun test showed that CD4+cell count were significantly improved in people who used TCM treatment. On the whole, CD4+cell count was(317.76±175.61) in 1 cu mm before treatment, which was(350.60±175.92) in 1 cu mm after treatment, P<0.01. 2. Ridit showed that patients whose CD4+cell count more than 500 were in phase I. Their R=0.614, and the 95%confidence interval was 0.5702 to 0.6579. Patients whose CD4+cell count more than 350 and less than 500 were in phase II. Their R=0.575, and the 95%confidence interval was 0.5439 to 0.6062. Patients whose CD4+cell count more than 200 and less than 350 were inphase III. Their R=0.460 and the 95%confidence interval was 0.4347 to 0.4849. Patients whose CD4+cell count less than 200 were in phase IV. Their R=0.428, and the 95%confidence interval was 0.3971 to 0.4589. There was no overlap between phase III, phase IV and phase I, phase II in 95% confidence interval. Conclusion TCM has the advantages in strengthening vital qi, but that is worse than western medicine in effort of expelling pathogen.
