Objective:To investigate the relationship of the changes of peripheral bloos T cell subsets and NK cell with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL).And to investigate the change of the cell immune function of NHL and chronic lymphadenitis.Methods:Peripheral blood T cell subsets,NK cell with NHL,chronic lymphadenitis patients and 50 normal controls were detected quantitatively with FCM.Results:Compared with the normal controls,the number of CD3~+,CD4~+T cell,CD4~+/CD8~+ ratio markedly reduced,while those of CD8~+T cells increased.These were no significant changes in NK cell.Compared with the group of chrnic lymphadenitis,the number of CD8~+T cell,NK cell markedly increased,while these were no significant changes in CD3~+,CD4~+T cell and reduction of CD4~+/CD8~+ ratio.Conclusion:NHL patients cell function was suppressed.The detection of T cell subsets and NK cells are clinically valuble on the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of NHL.
