 AB    In order to study the relationship between the basement immunological
       changes, TCM Syndrome Differentiation and prognosis, alkaline phosphates
       antialkaline phosphatase (APAAP) and ELISA assay were used to determine
       the T lymphocyte subsets, the platelet associated antibody (PAIgG,
       PAIgA, PAIgM) and plasma antiplatelet-autoantibodies (GP II b, GP III a,
       GP I b) in 55 chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and 53
       healthy subjects as control. The results indicated that the
       immunological changes was closely related to the prognosis, while the
       TCM Syndrome Differentiation was also related to it, which denoted that
       it is significant to investigate both factors in guiding treatment and
       assessing the prognosis.
