老年肾虚证与交感神经机能关系的探讨

Relationship Between Senile Kidney Deficiency and Sympathetic Nervous Function

对老年人(包括老年前期)肾阳虚和肾阴虚组测定外周血浆NE、DA、血小板MAO活性、血清DβH活性及淋巴细胞βAR的最大结合容量。结果示,老年人前3项显著高于青年人,后2项低于青年组,老年人中肾阴虚组以上5项均高于肾阳虚组,服用滋肾阴或温肾阳中药后,随临床见证的改善,以上指标也有相应的变化,说明肾阴、肾阳与交感肾上腺素能神经系统机能的关系。

Estimation of peripheral plasmal NE, DA, platelet MAO activity, serum DBH acti - vity and maximal combined capacity of lymphocytic BAR were made in senile and presenile deficiencies of kidney Yang and Kidney Yin. Results revealed that the former 3 items were all markedly higher than that of youths, while that of thelatter 2 were lower than the youth group. The results of all 5 items were higher in the Yin-deficiency group than that of the Yang deficiency group. After receiving traditional remedies of nourishing kidney Yin or warming kidneyYang, all the above indexes revealed corresponding changes as the symptoms were abated, indicating that there exist a relationship between kidney Yin - Yang and the adrenergic function of sympathetic nervous system.
