Title: Clinical Effects of Qufengtongluo Formula in Treating Acute Cerebral Infarction and its Influence on Plasma Endothelin Level
Abstract: Objective:To observe the clinical effects of Qufengtongluo formula in treating acute cerebral infarction patients which distinguished with anemogenous phlegm and stagnant blood obstruct symptom,and the influence on plasma endothelin(ET) level.Methods:50 sufferers were assigned into treat group and control group randomly.All patients received routine western medical treatment,and the treat group also received Qufengtongluo medicinal broth treatment.Evaluated the degree of conscious disturbance and nervous system damage using GCS and NIHSS respectively and determined plasma ET on admission and the fourteen day.Compared the differences of GCS score,NIHSS score and plasma ET level of the two groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment,the GCS score of both groups steped up obviously(P0.05),the NIHSS score and plasma ET level of both groups steped down significantly(P0.05);And the GCS score of treat group was obviously higher than control group's(P0.05)after treatment,the NIHSS score and plasma ET level of treat group were significantly higher than the control group's(P0.05)after treat.Conclusion:The clinical effect of Qufengtongluo formular in treating acute cerebral infarction patients with anemogenous phlegm and stagnant blood obstruct symptom was more obvious combined with western medical treat.Qufengtongluo formular also could step down plasma ET level significantly.It maybe one of the mechanisms in elevating its clinical effects.
