Abstract:
Objective To observe the changes of plasma Von Willebrand factor(vWF) content in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and late lung cancer(LLC) patients with Qi deficiency.Methods The changes of vWF content in 26 COPD patients with Qi deficiency and in 15 LLC patients with Qi deficiency were observed before and after treatment,and were compared with those in 30 healthy volunteers.Results Plasma vWF content before treatment was increased in COPD and LLC patients with Qi deficiency(P0.05).Conclusion Abnormal platelet activation exists in COPD and LLC patients with Qi deficiency,the function of vascular endothelial cells decreases,and the blood is in hypercoagulable state,which accords with the traditional Chinese medical theory of Qi failing in promoting blood circulation.
