Objective To study the relationship between TCM syndromes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein（Hs-CRP）.Method The patients with stroke（n=48）were divided into groups according to the level of Hs-CRP

TCM syndromes

onset time and carotid plaque status

and the relevant data were analyzed

dealt with and compared.Result There was significant difference in Hs-CRP

wind syndrome

fire-heat syndrome and phlegm syndrome

and there was difference in qi-deficiency syndrome between stroke in acute stage and in convalescence.There was difference in NIHSS of stoke in acute stage and blood-stasis syndrome of stroke in convalescence respectively between the normal group（with normal Hs-CRP）and abnormal group（with abnormal Hs-CRP）.There was difference in Hs-CRP of yin-deficiency syndrome of stroke in acute stage and phlegm syndrome of stroke in convalescence between the normal group and abnormal group.Hs-CRP was correlated significantly to phlegm syndrome of stroke in convalescence.There was a statistical correlation between NIHSS and Hs-CRP of stroke in acute stage or convalescence.There was a statistical correlation between Hs-CRP of stroke in acute stage and yin-deficiency syndrome of stroke in convalescence or NIHSS.The influences of the formation of carotid plaques on Hs-CRP were different.Conclusion In the abnormal group of stroke in convalescence the blood-stasis syndrome is more serious than that in the normal group.Hs-CRP is higher in patients with yin-deficiency syndrome of stroke in acute stage or phlegm syndrome of stroke in convalescence than that in patients without definite diagnosis.Hs-CRP of stroke in convalescence is correlated significantly to phlegm syndrome.The yin-deficiency syndrome of stroke in convalescence and neurological deficits were more serious in the patients with a higher Hs-CRP of stroke in acute stage.
