PUMC Hospital sets up quantitative criteria for im
Dr. Li Taisheng et al. of the department of internal medicine, section of infectious disease, PUMC Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences recently objectively evaluated the cellular immunological function of patients suffering from a variety of diseases, enabling the evaluation of immune function and further improved the diagnostic and therapeutic level of the general hospital.
As was recommended, the relationship of immune system with infections and immunological treatment is at present the hot spot of medical research in the world. Dr. Li et al used immunofluorescent antibody and flow cytometric technique determined the classification of lymphocytes and its subtypes in 51 healthy blood donors and discovered that there was certain difference between the functions of T cells among the Chinese and the Western populations; this study provided the foundation for the research on the racial difference in the occurrence and development of disease conditions. In the same way they had determined the cellular immune function in more than 350 cases of a various illnesses, and discovered in 59 patients with HIV infection and onset of the illness that the subtype of T cell not only reflected degree of damage of the body immune function but also had a close correlation with the body HIV vector; thus they reasonably established a new and simple parameter for the judgement of the progress of AIDS suitable for application in China.
They also proceeded with quantitative evaluation in populations of poor immune function, such as in nearly 200 cases of infectious diseases (tuberculosis, fungus infection, virus infection etc), more than 100 cases of auto immune diseases, diabetes mellitus, tumors, organ transplantations etc. They found that the immune function of these patients is closely related with the progress, the activities and the prognosis of the disease conditions., 百拇医药
