1Jinan Military General Hospital.
Abstract:
Erythrocyte deformability and membrane adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity from 32 psoriatic patients with TCM Syndrome Differentiation-Typing and 30 healthy subjects were observed. The results showed that in Psoriatic patients erythrocyte deformability reduced, and Na(+)-K++ ATPase activity elevated while Ca+(+)-Mg++ ATPase activity decreased. The degree of abnormality was in following order: the group of Blood Stasis > the group of Blood Dryness > the group of Blood Heat, which suggested that there was definitely the sign of Blood Stasis in psoriatic patients. It might be considered as objective index for TCM Syndrome Differentiation and Typing of psoriasis. To guide the treatment of TCM and study the pathogenesis of psoriasis is important.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
