 AB    Fifty-six cases with lung carcinoma were detected for peripheral blood T
       lymphocyte by direct staphylococcal protein A (SPA) bacterial rose ring
       for carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) by radioimmunoassay, and the
       relationship between T lymphocyte. CEA and Syndrome of TCM was explored.
       The results were as follows:the values of OKT3, OKT4, OKT4/OKT8 were
       lower in the lung carcinoma than that in healthy subjects (P <
       0.05-0.01), but OKT8 was higher (P < 0.05); The values of T lymphocyte
       lowered or increased in the order of Yin Deficiency with internal Heat,
       Qi Stagnation with blood stasis, Phlegm-Dampness in Lung, Qi-Yin
       Deficiency, but that of CEA was the highest in Qi-stagnation with blood
       stasis. There was a significant difference between all Syndrome-types of
       TCM and the healthy subjects (P < 0.01). Therefore, it is suggested that
       the values of peripheral T lymphocytes and CEA with the lung carcinoma
       were regarded as good referential parameters in reflection the condition
       of Deficiency in Vitality and Excess in Superficiality, which offered
       the objective evidence for the TCM treatment.
