Summary

Researchers found that ulcerative colitis patients with damp-heat syndrome had the highest Th17/Treg imbalance in peripheral blood compared to other syndrome types, with higher Th17 ratios correlating with greater disease severity. These findings provide a quantitative basis for traditional Chinese medicine classification of UC severity.

There are differences in the expression of peripheral blood Th17/Treg cells and related cytokines among UC patients with different syndromes, and the damp-heat content is the most significant. The higher the ratio of Th17 cells in peripheral blood and the degree of Th17/Treg imbalance, the lower the ratio of Treg cells, and the more severe the condition of UC patients, which can provide a preliminary quantitative basis for the TCM classification and severity of the diagnosis of UC.
