Title: Curative effect of Xinglouchengqi Decoction on ischemic stroke
Abstract: Objective To observe the curative effect of Xinglouchengqi Decoction on the phlegm-heat and fu-excess syndrome of ischemic stroke,and discuss the mechanism through detecting changes of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP).Method The patients with the phlegm-heat and fu-excess syndrome of ischemic stroke (n=56) were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=28) and control group (n=28).On the base of routine treatment,including the therapy of activating blood circulation and resolving stasis and inhibiting platelet aggregation,the treatment group was given Xinglouchengqi Decoction and control group was given anus injection of Kaiselu to treat astriction.The treatment course was one week.The scores of TCM syndromes,scores of neurological deficits and changes of serum Hs-CRP were observed in two groups before and after the treatment.Result After the treatment the scores of wind syndrome,fire-heat syndrome and phlegm syndrome were different in two groups compared respectively with those in two groups before the treatment.There was a difference in the scores of fire-heat syndrome between two groups.The changes of Hs-CRP were improved more significantly in the treatment group than in the control group.Conclusion Xinglouchengqi Decoction has a better curative effect on the phlegm-heat and fu-excess syndrome of ischemic stroke,and the mechanism may be related to that it can relieve the inflammatory lesion of brain ischemia and improve cerebral circulation.
