Abstract:
[Objective] To explore the effect of wind-expelling and blood-cooling therapy in treating chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) . [Methods] Thirteen cases of chronic ITP differentiated in TCM as heat-induced blood extravasation (group A) were treated with wind-expelling and blood-cooling therapy. The changes of peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets and natural killer (NK) cells before and after treatment were observed and compared with the normal volunteers (group B). [Results] Before treatment, peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets of CD3 and CD4 levels, CD4/CD8 ratio and NK cells count were lower in group A than those in group B while CD8 level was higher ( P
