Qi and Blood Deficiency Contributes to Peripheral T-Cell Dysfunction and Reduced Natural Killer Cell Activity in Gastric Cancer
Author(s): Zeyong Xie*
Gastric Cancer (GC), a major cause of cancer-related mortality, is susceptible to invasion and metastasis, which
triggers dismal prognosis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) exerts a pivotal role in various cancers, including
GC. Correct syndrome differentiation is the most important principle guiding the treatment strategy. Here in, the
present study aims to explore the relationship of different TCM syndrome types of GC patients and the cellular
immune function, which was evaluated by observing peripheral T-cell subsets and activity of Natural Killer (NK)
cells. GC patients and healthy controls were enrolled in this study, with venous blood during fasting collected.
Patients with deficiency syndromes exhibited decreased number of CD4+ T-cells, ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T-cells and
the activity of NK cells as compared with those with sufficiency syndromes. Then, the rel.. View More»
