The plasma levels of NO and ET were measured in all patients before and after treatment. And the clinical effects of the treatment were observed. Result: After treatment, the plasma level of NO increased (P0.01) and the level of ET decreased (P0.01 or P0.05) significantly in both groups,moreover,the level of ET in patients treated with GHQD was significantly lower than in control group (P0.01).
