ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the pathologic mechanism of blood-stasis tongue figure (BSTF) formation in patients with primary dysmenorrhea.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Blood levels of platelet activating factor (PAF) and acetyl hydrolase of PAF (PAF-AH) in 41 patients with primary dysmenorrhea and 20 healthy subjects were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The level of PAF in the 22 patients with BSTF was 252. 214 +/- 37. 568 ng/L, which was higher than that in patients without BSTF (19 patients, 212.348 +/- 22.794 ng/L) and healthy subjects (182.126 +/- 18.306 ng/L) respectively, while level of PAF-AH showed an opposite sequence in them, i.e., 3.090 +/- 1.483, 5.382 +/- 1.873, and 5.607 +/- 2.073 ng/L, respectively (P < 0.05). Patients without BSTF showed only a higher level of PAF when compared with that in healthy subjects (P < 0.05). No significant difference in PAF or PAF-AH levels was shown among patients with BDTF of different Chinese medical syndrome types (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>PAF level obviously increased and PAF-AH level obviously decreased in primary dysmenorrhea patients of BSTF, suggesting that the imbalance of PAF and PAF-AH was correlated with the pathologic mechanism of the BSTF formation in primary dysmenorrhea patients.</p>
