Department of Neurology Xiangya Hospital of Central South University Changsha China Abstract Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of lymphoplasmapheresis LPE in treatment of Guillain- Barre syndrome GBS and to explore its mechanism. Methods The change of neurological functions and the difference of the complete immunity blood routine conventional blood coagulation and lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood before and after treatment with LPE were observed in GBS patients. Results After the treatment of LPE the MRC scores on one and two weeks was prominently improved as well as the Hughes scores and the effective rate reached 90%. The level of immunoglobulin complement the percentage of mononuclear cells and fibrinogen in blood was notably decreased after the treatment. After therapy percentage of CD8 + T lymphocyte was significantly increased and the ratio of CD4 + /CD8 + lymphocyte subset was decreased especially when the increase of Hughes scores was more than 1 in contrast to the opposite condition with little variation. Conclusion There was a significant effect in that LPE was used to treat GBS which probably by correcting the disorder of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and the direct removal of immunoglobulin complement mononuclear cells fibrinogen and other pathological substances.
