针刺对恶性肿瘤患者外周血T细胞及其亚群的影响

Effect of Acupuncture on T-Lymphocyte and Its Subsets from the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Malignant Neoplasm

本研究采用单克隆抗体技术对51例恶性肿瘤患者外周血T 细胞及其亚群进行了针刺前后的观察。实验设计了三个组:恶性肿瘤患者的针刺组和对照组,及正常人对照组。以 OKT_3、OKT_4,OKT_8及OKT_4/OKT_8为观察指标。结果表明,针刺治疗能够提高恶性肿瘤患者外周血 T 细胞及其亚群的百分率,尤以 OKT_4^+细胞受针刺影响最明显。

Effect of acupuncture on the T-lymphocyte and its subsets from the peripheral blood of pa-tients with malignant neoplasm has been researched in this study.51 patients were devided intotwo groups:one in acupuncture treatment and the other without any treatment.48 healthy adultswere also studied as normal control group.The results showed that the percentages of OKT_3^+,OKT_4^+,OKT_8^+ cells in the peripheral blood of the 51 patients were lower than those of the nor-mal adults respectively.After the acupuncture treatment,the percentages of OKT_3^+,OKT_4^+,OKT_8^+ cells were obviously higher than those before acupuncture;the control group of patientsshowed no significant variation.This result revealed that acupuncture seemed to have more affecton OKT_4^+ cells than on OKT_8^+ cells.From our study we believe that acupuncture can be used asone of the many treatments for patients with cancer.
