中性白细胞百分率与虚实辨证的关系

A study was made to correlate,by means of statistical analysis,the relationship between the percentage of neutrocyte in the differential blood count and the clinical diagnosis for Xu and Shi syndrome in TCM.Once their relationship is established,the differential blood count can be employed as a new method for clinical diagnosis. For the sake of statistical analysis,a collection of one hundred and eleven cases were classified at first into Xu and Shi on the basis of TCM.The percentage of neutrocyte to classify Xu and Shi shows a marked significance(P<0.01). The statistical analysis shows that when the data are arranged from high percentage to low percentage,Shi gradually merges into Xu,and vice versa.With the exception of certain diseases such as influenza,typhoid,measles, serious bleeding of vicera,malaria and kala-azar,the statistical analysis shows that when the percentage of neutrocyte is below 50%,Xu is more likely to be considered for diagnosis and treatment,and that when the percentage of neutroeyte is higher than 75%,Shi is more likely to be considered instead.Between 50% and 75%, however,Xu and Shi have almost the same frequencies of occurrence and care should be taken for diagnosis.In this case other methods for clinical diagnosis should also be consulted.In addition,because of individual variation for patients,results from differential blood count should be used with caution.Besides,if differential blood count is to be applied to infant and child patients,attention should be paid to their special cases. To conclude,the new method being proposed for clinical diagnosis does not claim to be an independent one.At the present stage it can nevertheless serve as a very useful supplementary method for the"four methods of diagnosis" as practised in TCM.
