[ Effect of acupuncture on T-lymphocyte and its subsets from the peripheral blood of patients with malignant neoplasm ] . Effect of acupuncture on the T-lymphocyte and its subsets from the peripheral blood of patients with malignant neoplasm has been researched in this study . 51 patients were divided into two groups : one in acupuncture treatment and the other without any treatment . 48 healthy adults were also studied as normal control group . The results showed that the percentages of OKT3+ , OKT4+ , OKT8+ cells in the peripheral blood of the 51 patients were lower than those of the normal adults respectively . After the acupuncture treatment , the percentages of OKT3+ , OKT4+ , OKT8+ cells were obviously higher than those before acupuncture ; the control group of patients showed no significant variation . This result revealed that acupuncture seemed to have more affect on OKT4+ cells than on OKT8+ cells . From our study we believe that acupuncture can be used as one of the many treatments for patients with cancer .
