ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish the optimum preparation process for Suxiaoxintong Dropping Pills (Cortex moutan, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Borneolum Syntheticum). Methods: The preparation conditions, such as the different kinds of primary substance, cooling agent, the proportion between the extracts and primary substance etc. were studied with L 18 (3 7) orthogonal design. Results: Six batches of the products prepared with the process on the experimental result were conformed to the standard of the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Conclusion: It has been proved that the process is available.
ABSTRACT
AIM: Using simvastatin and vitamine E (Vit-E) treatment to coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with low HDL, to investigate the relationship between Ox-LDL, platelet activation and HDL. METHODS: 40 CAD patients with low HDL were divided into two groups (A and B): A group oral simvastatin, B group oral simvastatin and Vit-E. The level of serum Ox-LDL, TXB 2 and GMP-140 were measured before and after treatment. The relationship between Ox-LDL, TXB 2, GMP-140 and HDL were analysed. RESULTS:The level of serum HDL was significantly increased in A and B group after treatment and attained normal level. The level of serum Ox-LDL, TXB 2 and GMP-140 were decreased significantly after simvastatin and Vit-E treatment and neared normal. CONCLUSIONS:This study confirmed that HDL can effectively refrain LDL oxidation. It also revealed that Vit-E and simvastatin treatment were more effectively refrained platelet activation by increasement of HDL and decreasement of Ox-LDL.
