[Significance of platelet CD62p, CD63 assessment in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with blood stasis]

Abstract

Objective: To study the relationship between blood stasis and platelet activation and the influential factors on the latter in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients.

Methods: Platelet CD62p, CD63 expressions were determined in 30 patients of type 2 DM with blood stasis, 27 patients of type 2 DM without blood stasis and 20 normal controls by flow cytometry.

Results: CD62p, CD63 levels were significantly higher in type 2 DM with blood stasis group than that without blood stasis group and in normal controls. CD62p was positively correlated with CD63, while positive correlation existed between HbA1c, LDL-C and CD62p in DM patients with blood stasis.

Conclusion: The increased level of platelet activation was the primary molecular basis in type 2 DM. It was important to perform the Syndrome Differentiation of blood stasis and treatment of activating blood circulation to remove blood stasis in type 2 DM.
