Title: Clinical Effects of Shuxuetong Injection Combined with Aspirin in Patients with Carotid Atherosclerosis and Effects on the Level of Inflammatory Cytokines
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effects of Shuxuetong injection combined with aspirin in patients with carotid atherosclerosis(CAS) and effects on the level of inflammatory cytokines.METHODS Sixty cases with CAS patients were divided randomly into treatment group and control group.The patients in control group were given the aspirin therapy,and patients in treatment group were given the treatment of Shuxuetong injection combined with aspirin.The clinical efficacy was observed after treatment for 6 months.The plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were detected.RESULTS The clinical total effective rate of treatment group was 93.3%,it was significantly higher than that of control group(63.3%)(P0.05).After treatment,the hs-CRP and IL-6 level of treatment group were significantly lower than the prior-treatment and control group(P0.05).The lipid level of the treatment group were significantly lower than the prior-treatment and control group(P0.05).CONCLUSION The Shuxuetong injection combined with aspirin in patients with CAS has better clinical efficacy,can reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines and is worthy of clinical application.
