Methods: Forty patients were randomly divided into two groups; XSC group and Probucol group (western medicine control). In addition, 20 healthy people were set as a normal control group. Plasma ET-1, serum NO, the internal diameter of basal brachial artery, endothelial dependent flow mediated dilation (FMD) and non-endothelial dependent nitroglycerin induced dilation (NID) to the trial group before and after therapy and to the healthy control group were determined respectively. Results; Compared to the healthy control group, FMD of patients with atherosclerosis was damaged obviously, the serum NO level decreased, plasma ET-1 increased (P< 0. 01), NID also decreased (P<0. 05), the internal diameter of basal brachial artery has no obvious difference (P>0. 05). After the patients with atherosclerosis were treated with Xiongshao Capsule for 12 weeks, FMD increased evidently, plasma ET-1 decreased, serum NO and the ratio of NO/ET-1 increased, compared with the level before therapy and Probucol group, the difference was significant (P<0.05, P<0.01), NID didn't change obviously (P>0.05). Conclusion: XSC could regulate vascular activity factor and improve the function of endothelial dependent vascular dilation of patients with atherosclerosis.展开更多

Methods： Tested were the endothelial function and blood lipids of 42 patients with AS in the treated group and 30 healthy volunteers in the control group. And re-examination of these parameters was carried out on the AS patients after they had been treated with QYXBC for 10 months. Results： Before treatment, the reactive hyperemia induced changes in artery diameter in the treated group was significantly lower than that in the control group （P〈0.01）, while insignificant difference was found between the two groups in response to nitroglycerin. In the treated group after treatment, with D%-R improved significantly （P〈0.01）, total cholesterol （TC）, triglyceride （TG） and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） decreased by 16.3%, 5.6%, 10.2% respectively and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） increased by 7.5%. EDVR was correlated negatively with the serum TC, LDL-C concentrations and the baseline brachial diameter （D0） （r = -0.41, -0.66, -0.59, respectively, all P〈0.01）, but correlated positively with HDL-C （r=0.62, P〈0.05）. The ameliorative extent of EDVR was correlated positively to the decreased magnitude of TC and LDL-C concentrations （r = 0.67,0.59, both P〈0.01）. Conclusion： QYXBC can lower the level of blood lipids and improve significantly EDVR function.展开更多
