Detection of the number and function of lymphocytes. A. Lymphocyte number in one of the patients in group A. Before treatment, the absolute number of total T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, NK cells and B cells was 643.06, 192.49, 457.85, 128.31 and 323.65 cell/μL, respectively. After treatment, the absolute number of corresponding lymphocytes was 1170.76, 315.27, 858.36, 323.65 and 336.56 cell/μL, respectively. B. Comparison of lymphocyte number. After treatment, the number of total T cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD4+ T cells exhibited significant increases in group A (P < 0.05) and the number of NK cell increased in both groups (P < 0.05). C. Comparison of lymphocyte function. After treatment, levels of Th1-type cytokines increased in group A (P < 0.05) and those of IFN-γ increased in both groups (P < 0.05). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
