Objective To study the relation between the TCM constitution and the lung function of asthmatic bronchitis children to lay a foundation to apply the TCM constitution theory in preventing and treating children asthmatic diseases.Methods Following the Zhu's method,120 asthmatic bronchitis children were divided into normal constitution,phlegm-damp constitution,qi deficiency constitution,internal heat constitution,and both qi and yin deficiency constitution.Based on the Su's method,the cases were classified into balance constitution,lung-spleen Ⅰ constitution,lung-spleen Ⅱ constitution,spleen-kidney Ⅰ constitution,and spleen-kidney Ⅱ constitution.Their lung function was tested and the TPTEF /Te and VPTEF/Ve of each constitution were analyzed.Results Of the 120 cases,37 ones (30.8%) were qi deficiency constitution;33 ones (27.5%) were phlegm-damp constitution;and 60 ones (50.0%) were lung-spleen Ⅱ constitution.Compared with those with normal constitution,the cases with the phlegm-damp constitution,qi deficiency constitution,internal heat constitution,and both qi and yin deficiency constitution had significantly lowered TPTEF/Te and VPTEF/Ve (P

Objective To investigate the application of hematology analyzer in cell counting of serous cavity effusion .Methods Humoral mode of Sysmex XE-5000 automated hematology analyzer and manual microscopy were employed to perform cell counting in 85 samples of serous cavity effusion .Results Compared with the manual method and instrument method ,differences of mononu-clear cells and multinucleated cells of serous cavity effusion showed no statistical significance (P>0 .05) ,while those of leukocytes , erythrocytes were found statistical significance (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Sysmex XE-5000 automated hematology analyzer has advan-tages of simple ,stability and accuracy ,however ,its application in the effusion cell counting can not completely replace the manual microscopy .
