Effect of Xiaoyu Zhixue Tablet (消瘀止血片) on Expression ofPlatelet Membrane Glycoproteins in Patients withHemorrhagic Thrombopathy

Objective: To observe the effect of Xiaoyu Zhixue tablet (消瘀止血片,XYZXT) on the expression of platelet membrane glycoproteins in patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: The total of 148 patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy were randomly divided into two groups, the traditional Chinese medicicne (TCM) group (n=98) treated with XYZXT and the Western medicine (WM) group (n=50) treated with adrenosin, vitamins C, K and P, both for 6 months. The therapeutic effect and the recovery rate of platelet aggregation in the two groups were observed. And platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ⅰb/Ⅸ, GPⅡb/Ⅲa complexes, GPⅠb, GPⅡb, GP Ⅲa and P-selectin were analyzed by flow cytometry in both groups before and after treatment and also in 34 normal healthy subjects. Results: The total effective rate of hemostasis was 89. 8% in TCM group and 54. 0% in the WM group (x2=45.83, P<0.01), and the recovery rate of platelet aggregation was 72.4% and 4.0% respectively (x2=62.06, P<0.01). The fluorescence intensity of GP Ⅰ b/Ⅸ, GPⅡb/Ⅲa complexes, GPⅠb, GPⅢa and P-selectin were lower in both groups before treatment than those in the healthy subjects. Expression of above-mentioned marks was elevated in TCM group after 6 months' therapy, which was insignificantly different as compared with the healthy subjects (P>0.05) and higher than those in the WM group (P<0.05). Conclusion: One of the mechanisms in treating hemorrhagic thrombopathy with XYZXT is that it could regulate the expression of GP Ⅰb/Ⅸ, GPⅡ b/Ⅲa complexes, GPⅠb, GPⅢa and P-selectin at the level of receptor protein.

Effect of Xiaoyu Zhixue Tablet(消瘀止血片) on the Expression of Platelet Membrane Glycoprotein Ⅰb/Ⅸ/Ⅴ Complex in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure

Objective： To investigate the effect of Xiaoyu Zhixue Tablet （消瘀止血片, XYZXT） on the expression of platelet membrane glycoprotein （GP） Ⅰ b/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex and GP Ⅰ b α in patients with chronic renal failure （CRF） in early metaphase. Methods： Fifty-one patients with CRF in early metaphase （treated group） were treated with XYZXT, 3 months as the course of treatment for 2 courses. The previous therapies remained unchanged. Flow cytometry was used to assess the expression of platelet GP Ⅰb/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex and GP Ⅰb α in patients with CRF, and turbidity method was used to determine the platelet maximum aggregation rate （MAR）, meanwhile the renal function was measured. The final data were compared with those before the treatment, and with those in the normal control group （31 healthy subjects）. Results： Compared with the normal control group, expressions of GP Ⅰ b/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex and GPⅠb α, and platelet MAR in CRF patients were significantly lower （P=0.007,P=0.001,P=0.009） before the treatment; after the treatment with XYZXT, the above indexes in CRF patients were remarkably increased （P=0.033,P=0.026, P=0.045）, but still lower than those in the normal control group, however, it was not statistically significant. Conclusion： （1） The expression of GP Ⅰ b/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex in CRF patients of early metaphase was decreased, which lead to platelet aggregation dysfunction. This might be one of the reasons for the hemorrhagic trend in CRF. （2） XYZXT was able to upgrade expressions of GP Ⅰb/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex and GPⅠb α in CRF patients, improve platelet function and clown-regulate platelet activation in patients with CRF.

Clinical Observation on Effect of Xiaoyu Zhixue Tablet on 104 Patients with ldiopathic Multifocal Bleeding and Pletelet Aggregation Defect

Objective: To explore the effect and pharmacological mechanism of Xiaoyu Zhixue Tablet (XZT). Methods: XZT mainly composed of Chinese medical herbs to replenish Qi and remove stasis was used to treat patients with idiopathic multifocal bleeding and platelet aggregation defect. Patients were divided into 2 groups, the TCM group (104 cases) treated with XZT, and the control group (84 cases) with vitamin C, K and P, adrenosin and/or artificial menstruation, for at least 4 months. Results: The hemostatic effective rate was 92. 3 % in the TCM group and 27. 4 % in the control group (P < 0. 005), the recovery rate of platelet aggregation after 6 months' therapy was 69. 2 % and only 1. 8% respectively. The difference between the two groups was very significant (P < 0. 005). Conclusion: XZT could regulate the hemostatic action and platelet aggregation
