艾灸对桥本氏甲状腺炎患者外周血ADCC活性的作用

Effect of Moxibustion on the Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxcity Activity in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

采用艾灸治疗35例桥本氏甲状腺炎患者。结果发现:患者治疗前外周血ADCC 活性与甲状腺微粒体抗体结合率均明显高于正常,且两者之间有明显的相关性。经艾灸治疗后,两者都显著下降,并仍保持相关性。提示艾灸治疗桥本氏甲状腺炎很可能与其降低甲状腺微粒体抗体和 K 细胞活性的作用有关。

To investigate the immune regulating effect of moxibustion on the patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis,35 patients were treated by moxibustion and the changes of antibody-dependent cell- mediated cytotoxicity(ADCC)activity in the peripheral blood of the patients and their relationship with thyroid microsomal antibody(MCA)before and after treatment were observed.It was found that the activity of ADCC and the combining rate of MCA were higher than normal and they were closely related to each other.After treatment,both of them declined remarkably and the relationship between them remained the same.The result indicated that the treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis by moxtbustion might well be related to its effect of decreasing the activity of ADCC and the titer of anti-thyroid antibodies.
