Objective: To evaluate the diagnositic value of the cytokines (TNF-α, IL-10, IL-8), clinical inflammatory indexes (ESR, CRP), and clinical immune indexes (IgA, IgM, IgG, RF, C3) on heat or cold syndrome in female patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA) of early stage. Methods: 70 female RA patients were divided into heat and cold syndrome type. The blood samples were collected and detected for the following indexes such as cytokines, clinical inflammatory indexes, clinical immune indexes. The results were analyzed by two-way classification ANOVA. Results: Except CRP, the expression of cytokine (TNF-α, IL-10, IL-8), clinical inflammatory indexes (ESR), immune indexes (IgA, IgG, IgM, RF, C3)of subjects with heat and cold syndrome had no significant difference. Conclusion: Female RA patients with heat syndrome have higher expression of CRP than those with cold syndrome, which indicates that CRP has potential diagnositic value to heat and cold syndrome in RA.
