RESUMO
Refractory angina is characterized by recurrent and persistent angina with a duration of not less than three months， which is related to reversible ischemia and hypoxia caused by coronary stenosis and obstruction. It mainly involves obstructive coronary artery disease and non-obstructive coronary artery disease with coronary artery spasm and coronary microvascular dysfunction. “Stasis and toxin” play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The pathogenesis of stasis and toxin is stubborn filthy turbidity featured by slow accumulation and sudden onset，and rapid changes，which coincides with the characteristics of refractory angina which is complex and changeable，prolonged and difficult to cure. The pathogenesis of refractory angina involves a combination of underlying deficiency and excessive manifestation， with "stasis and toxin" playing a crucial role as an important pathological factor in the whole process of refractory angina. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） employs a holistic approach known as "activating blood circulation and removing toxins"， which is supplemented by various methods to tonify Qi and warm Yang， nourish the kidneys and invigorate the spleen， clear heat and transform phlegm. This approach applies anti-inflammatory measures， regulates lipid metabolism， inhibits oxidative stress and thrombus formation， protects endothelial function in blood vessels， as well as establishes collateral circulation for the prevention and treatment of refractory angina. Therefore，based on the theory of "stasis and toxin"，combined with TCM theory and modern medical research，this paper discusses the pathogenesis of refractory angina and the prevention and treatment strategy of TCM，and elucidates the reasons for the difficulty in curing refractory angina and the relationship between refractory angina and common angina pectoris，coronary microvascular dysfunction，coronary artery spasm and obstructive coronary artery disease，hoping to provide certain theoretical basis and clinical ideas for the prevention and treatment of refractory angina with TCM.
RESUMO
Chronic heart failure(CHF) is a comprehensive clinical syndrome caused by multiple factors that result in structural and/or functional abnormalities of the heart, leading to impaired ventricular contraction and/or relaxation functions. This medical condition represents the final stage of various cardiovascular diseases. In the treatment of CHF, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of using traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) to control oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, thereby delaying ventricular remodeling and reducing myocardial fibrosis. In this study, common TCM syndromes in the diagnosis and treatment of CHF in recent years were reviewed and summarized. Five common treatment methods including benefiting Qi and activating blood circulation, enhancing Qi and nourishing Yin, warming Yang for diuresis, eliminating phlegm and dampness, rescuing from collapse by restoring Yang, and corresponding classic prescriptions in prevention and treatment of CHF were concluded under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation thinking. Meanwhile, research progress on the modern pharmacological effects of these classic prescriptions was systematically discussed, so as to establish a unique treatment system for CHF by classic prescriptions under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation theory and provide innovative diagnosis and treatment strategies for clinical CHF.

Occupational silicosis features as irreversible pulmonary fibrosis, which is caused by long-term inhalation of free silica dust. The pathogenesis of silicosis is complex and there is no cure at present. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies silicosis fibrosis into the category of diseases as "pulmonary paralysis" and "pulmonary arthralgia", and its treatment is based on promoting blood circulation and activating qi. Traditional Chinese medicine for activating blood circulation is one of the commonly used medications, which has the effects of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis and immunomodulation, and has broad application prospect in the prevention and treatment of silicosis. At present, animal experiments and clinical studies have been carried out using the single Chinese herbs extracts that could activate blood circulation such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., Panax notoginseng, Curcuma longa L., peach kernel and Carthamus tinctorius L. as well as their compound herbs for the prevention and treatment of silicosis. The mechanisms of anti-pulmonary fibrosis and the efficacy and safety of treating silicosis and its complications were explored. There are also scholars studying Salvia miltiorrhiza, Curcuma longa L. and Danhong injection, Taohong Siwu Decoction and others for prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Additionally, network pharmacological research, analyzing potential targets and pathways, were carried out to provide scientific rationale for prevention and treatment of silicosis. However, the effectiveness of research is still uncertain, and it cannot meet the clinical needs. In the future, it is necessary to explore the application of more high-quality active components of traditional Chinese medicine monomer or mixture of activating blood circulation in the prevention and treatment of silicosis, to provide new ideas and scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of silicosis using traditional Chinese medicine.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of treatment of activating blood and removing blood stasis, invigorating the spleen and soothing the liver for the patients with gastric collateral stasis syndrome and chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG).Methods:Randomized controlled trial. A total of 68 CAG patients admitted to the Huairou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to January 2021 who met the selection criteria were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method, with 34 in each group. The control group received conventional western medicine treatment, such as inhibition of acid, protecting the gastric mucosa, and the observation group was treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal prescription of activating blood and removing blood stasis, invigorating the spleen and soothing the liver. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. TCM symptom scores were performed before and after treatment. The serum level of pepsinogen Ⅰ(PG Ⅰ), pepsinogen Ⅱ (PGⅡ) were detected by ELISA, and the PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio was calculated. Gastroscopic biopsy was performed to observe the changes of intestinal metaplasia of gastric mucosa and glandular atrophy, and to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Results:The total responsive rate was 85.3% (29/34) in the study group and 58.8% (20/34) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=9.35, P=0.030). After treatment, the scores of stomachache, fullness of feeling in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=2.97, 3.80, P<0.05). After treatment, the level of serum PG Ⅰ[(76.21 ± 17.35) mg/L vs. (66.8 ± 18.77) mg/L, t=2.15] and PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ [(4.67 ± 0.99) vs. (3.90± 1.25), t=2.81] in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05), and PG Ⅱ [(16.36 ± 1.85) mg/L vs. (17.42 ± 2.05) mg/L, t=2.24] was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, intestinal metaplasia and glandular atrophy was significantly more improved or reversed than those in the control group ( χ2=20.67,9.33, P<0.05). Conclusion:The methods of activating blood and removing blood stasis, invigorating the spleen and soothing the liver can reverse the precancerous lesions of patients with gastric collateral stasis syndrome of chronic atrophic gastritis and have a good prognosis.
RESUMO
Anxiety and depression are common comorbidities of coronary heart disease and are considered as independent risk factors in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Anxiety，depression and other mental abnormalities belong to the category of "depressive syndrome" of traditional Chinese medicine，which can lead to stasis of blood due to the lack of Qi flow. "Blood stasis" involves abnormal blood rheology， vascular endothelial dysfunction， chronic inflammatory response， abnormal lipid metabolism and other comprehensive pathological changes， and is the core pathogenesis of coronary heart disease in traditional Chinese medicine. "Depressive syndrome"can aggravate the development of coronary heart disease by promoting blood stasis in multiple ways. Prescriptions and herbs of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can have a clinical effect by promoting blood circulation （improving physiological functions） and removing blood stasis （eliminating pathological changes）. In clinical practice， strengthening the screening of the mental and psychological status of patients with coronary heart disease and providing early and effective psychological interventions and combined Chinese and Western medicine drug treatment can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and prognosis of patients. This article was the first to put forward the academic view of "stasis caused by depression" for the first time，and discuss the modern biological research progress of "depression" in Chinese medicine that promotes blood stasis and aggravates coronary heart disease，in order to provide a basis for the subsequent development of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent systematic research on the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease with emotional abnormalities in Chinese medicine.
RESUMO
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome，which is the final result of compensatory failure of heart injury caused by various reasons. Long-term persistent cardiac stress leads to mitochondrial dysfunction，which in turn further damages cardiomyocytes and leads to disease progression. Timely removal of damaged mitochondria in cardiomyocytes and maintaining a good living environment of viable mitochondria is not only an effective means to protect cardiomyocytes，but also a new way to prevent and treat heart failure and ventricular remodeling. Mitochondrial quality control is a series of cellular activities for mitochondria to maintain their structural and functional stability，including oxidative stress response，regulation of mitochondrial dynamics，mitochondrial autophagy，intracellular calcium regulation and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） mostly uses drugs of replenishing Qi and activating blood circulation in the treatment of chronic heart failure，and Qi and mitochondria are similar in function. According to TCM，the performance of the body as "static，descending and inhibitory" in the case of Qi deficiency can also be compared with the energy defect of mitochondria. The classical method of tonifying qi and activating blood circulation in TCM can be applied here. In recent years，TCM takes mitochondria as the target and carries out many related experimental studies from the point of view of myocardial energy supply. It is found that Chinese herbs for replenishing Qi and activating blood circulation can participate in regulating the quality control mechanism of intracellular mitochondria with multiple targets and links. It is proved by experiments that Chinese herbs for replenishing Qi and activating blood circulation can exert myocardial protective effect through this mechanism.

RESUMO
Objective: Totally 12 batches of Salvia miltiorrhiza stem and leaves were taken as the research object,in order to investigate the correlation between the chromatographic peaks and the blood circulation activity in the HPLC fingerprint,and establish and verify the activity spectrum-effect model based on enzyme activity. Method: HPLC method and fibrinogen plate method were used to determine the fingerprint and in vitro activity values of stems and leaves of S. miltiorrhiza in 6 batches. SPSS was used to establish its spectrum-effect model by the principal component analysis-correlation analysis-multiple linear regression analysis method,and six batches of S. miltiorrhiza stems and leaves were used to verify the model. Result: Totally 7 characteristic peaks were obtained in the fingerprints of S. miltiorrhiza leaves. Kendalls tau-b correlation analysis showed the correlations between the blood circulating activity of S. miltiorrhiza stems and leaves and the 7 characteristic peak areas. The steep slope map analysis showed five optimal principal components of the model, namely protocatechualdehyde,caffeic acid,common peak 5 (to be identified), rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid B. Among them,protocatechualdehyde,common peak 5 and salvianolic acid B showed a positive correlation with the activity of blood circulation,while caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid showed a negative correlation with the activity of blood circulation,with low mean relative errors between the predicted value and the measured value. Conclusion: The blood circulation activity spectrum-effect model based on enzyme activity can predict the blood circulation activity of stems and leaves of S. miltiorrhiza.

X(Ser139)(PPConclusion: The above results suggest that extract of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma delay of endothelial cellular senescence induced by high glucose and high fat, and its mechanism may be related to increasing mitochondrial membrane potential and reducing DNA damage accumulation caused by ROS production.
RESUMO
We evaluated the effects of Danggui-Chuanxiong (GX) herb pair with different proportions (1∶0, 3∶2, 1∶1, 2∶3, 0∶1) and preparation methods (water extract W, alcohol extract A, and water-alcohol extracts WA) on vasoactive substances and endothelial cell adhesion molecules in the serum of acute blood stasis in rats. An acute blood stasis model was co-replicated by ice water bath and subcutaneous injection of epinephrine hydrochloride in rats. The expressions of vasoactive substances (arachidonic acid metabolites, coagulation-fibrin system index) and adhesion molecules in the serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method; the Spearman method was used to analyze the correlation of those detection indicators; the partial least squares-discriminant analysis and multi-attribute comprehensive index method were used to comprehensively evaluate the total effect of GX herb pair samples with different proportions and preparation methods on vasoactive substances and adhesion molecules. The experimental scheme was approved by the Animal Experimental Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine. The results showed that GX 1∶1_WA had the strongest effect on the improvement of vasoactive substances and adhesion molecules in the serum of acute blood stasis in rats (the total effect value was 6.96). When extraction method was same, the overall effect of GX 1∶1 had better effect than that of other proportions; when the proportion of GX was same, the total effects of GX_WA and GX_A were better than GX_W. The combination of Danggui and Chuanxiong can significantly improve the expressions of vasoactive substances and adhesion molecules in the serum of blood stasis in rats. But the action strength of GX herb pairs was different when the proportions and preparations of GX herb pair were different. These findings provide a basis for clinical rational application of GX herb pair, and lay the foundation for in-depth research on GX herb pair for treatment of blood stasis related diseases.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effects of Zhizi Chuanxiong Capsule (ZCC, ) on abnormal DNA methylation in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis (AS).@*METHODS@#After 1 week of adaptive feeding, 48 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups: a control group (n=12) fed with normal diet for 22 weeks; a model group (n=12) fed with high fat diet for 14 weeks followed by 8 weeks of normal diet feeding; a low-dose ZCC group (n=12) fed with high fat diet and low-dose ZCC for 14 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of normal diet and low-dose drug; a high-dose ZCC group (n=12) fed with high fat diet and high-dose drug for 14 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of normal diet and high-dose drug. After 22 weeks of feeding, blood samples were taken from the rabbit ear vein, and the genomic DNA was extracted for methylation immunoprecipitation sequencing (Medip-seq). The aorta tissues were collected for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.@*RESULTS@#Eight rabbits died during the feeding process. HE staining showed that the size of the lipid deposition on vessel wall and atherosclerotic plaque formation were reduced in both low- and high-dose group. The Medip-seq results showed that there were 146 abnormally methylated genes (including both hypermethylated gene and hypomethylated genes) in the model group, compared with the control group. Gene Ontology (GO) and Pathway analysis showed that these abnormally methylated genes were found to be involved in multiple AS-related functions and pathways, such as protein kinase C activity, cholesterol transport, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, peroxisome proliferater-activated receptor signaling pathway, vascular smooth muscle contraction, inflammation and so on. The abnormal methylated genes in AS model group were altered in both low- and high-dose groups: low-dose ZCC could change 72 of the 146 abnormally methylated genes, high-dose ZCC could change 71. Through GO and Pathway analysis, these altered methylated genes were involved in protein kinase C activity, inflammatory pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway, etc. CONCLUSION: ZCC could treat AS through regulating the abnormal hypermethylated and hypomethylated genes in AS rabbit model.

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of acupoint injection of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with Chinese herbs of benefiting for activating blood circulation for capillary density and arterioles density in skeletal muscle in ischemic hind limb of diabetes mellitus (DM) rats.@*METHODS@#A total of 80 rats were randomized into a normal sham operation group (10 rats) and a model group (70 rats). Disposable intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 50.0 mg/kg) was used to establish DM model, and the rats in the model group were randomized into 7 subgroups, 10 rats in each one. The subgroups were the DM sham operation group, DM ischemic group, Chinese herb group (intragastric herbs of benefiting for activating blood circulation), local injection group (BMSCs local injection), local injection + Chinese herb group (BMSCs local injection combined with intragastric herbs of benefiting for activating blood circulation), acupoint injection group (BMSCs acupoint injection), acupoint injection + Chinese herb group (BMSCs acupoint injection combined with intragastric herbs of benefiting for activating blood circulation). The local injection was phosphate buffer (PBS) injection at the equidistant 5 points along the line between the ischemic tissue and the normal tissue a time. The acupoints were "Sanyinjiao" (SP 6), "Zhaohai" (KI 6), "Huantiao" (GB 30), "Housanli" (ST 36) and "Yanglingquan" (GB 34). 100 μL BMSCs with 1×10/mL was totally injected at the above acupoints for one rat, 20 μL an acupoint. 1.5 kg/L Chinese herbs were applied by intragastric administration, including 120 g Radix Astragali, 120 g Codonopsis, 48 g Radix Glycyrrhiza, 120 g Angelica sinensis, 120 g Blood Rattan, 48 g Achyranthes bidentata. Intragastric distilled water was used in the other non-Chinese herb groups. The expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-actin), latelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (CD31) and von willebrand factor (vWF) in the skeletal muscle were detected with immunohistochemical SP two-step method.@*RESULTS@#Twenty-one days after intervention, the expressions of α-actin and CD31 on the operation hind limb were higher than those on the healthy hind limb in all the groups, except the Chinese herb group (<0.05<0.01). The vWF expressions on the operation side were lower than those on the healthy side in the Chinese herb group, the local injection group, the local injection + Chinese herb group and the acupoint injection + Chinese herb group (<0.05, <0.01). The α-actin expression on the operation side in the acupoint injection + Chinese herb group was higher than those in the normal sham operation group, DM sham operation group, the DM ischemic group and the local injection group (<0.05, <0.01). The CD31 expressions in the acupoint injection group, the acupoint injection + Chinese herb group, local injection + Chinese herb group were higher than those in the normal sham operation group, DM sham operation group and DM ischemic group (<0.05, <0.01). The CD31 expression in the acupoint injection + Chinese herb group was higher than those in the Chinese herb group and the local injection group (both <0.05). The vWF expressions in the local injection + Chinese herb group, the acupoint injection group and the acupoint injection + Chinese herb group lower than those in the DM sham operation group and the DM ischemic group (<0.05, <0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#schemia increases the expressions of the vascular density related factors of α-actin and CD31. It is more obvious for the increasing expressions of α-actin and CD31, and decreasing expression of vWF with the interventions of simple BMSCs injection and simple Chinese herbs of benefiting for activating blood circulation, especially with the combination of the above tow methods. It is indicated that acupoint injection of BMSCs combined with Chinese herbs of benefiting for activating blood circulation can improve the angiogenesis of ischemic tissue.

Objective To assess the clinical therapeutic effects and safety of Jiangtang Shuxin decoction (JTSXD) on diabetic patients complicated with chronic heart failure (CHF),and to search for its possible function mechanisms.Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted,80 diabetic patients complicated with CHF [New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class Ⅱ-Ⅲ] admitted into the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or of Cardiology in Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Youjiang National Medical College from October 2015 to September 2016 were enrolled,they were assigned to an observation group and a control group by randomized method with a computer,and finally 77 patients (39 cases in observation group and 38 cases in control group) completed this trial.The patients in control group received standardized routine western medical treatment,while the observation group was additionally administered JTSXD (including ingredients:astragalus 15 g,ginseng 10 g,radix ophiopogonis 15 g,radix rehmanniae 15 g,comus 10 g,rhizome coptidis 8 g,peach kernel 10 g,salvia mitiorrhiza 10 g,magnoliaceae 10 g,yam 15 g) on the basis of conventional therapy.The therapeutic course for all the patients in both groups was 2 months.Before and after treatment,the 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) was assessed;the TCM syndrome accumulated scores of the two groups were calculated;the left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),the left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF),the stroke volume (SV),the cardiac output (CO),and the maximum blood flow velocity of early diastolic/atrium late diastolic (E/A) were detected by echocardiography.The serum levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) and plasma B type brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were tested with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA);the level changes of total cholesterol (TC),triglyeride (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesteral (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesteral (LDL-C) were observed.Results Compared with the control group,after treatment in the observed group,the TCM syndrome score of palpitation,fatigue and thetotal accumulated score were all obviously decreased (palpitation score:0.9 ± 0.4 vs.1.2 ± 0.8,fatigue score:1.1 ± 0.7 vs.1.7 ± 0.8,total accumulated score:4.8 ± 1.2 vs.8.1 ± 1.8,all P ＜ 0.05);the LVEDV,the serum levels of HbA1c,Ang Ⅱ and BNP were also obviously decreased in the observed group [LVEDV (mL):136.28 ± 17.52 vs.158.82 ± 19.03,HbA1c (％):6.11±0.36 vs.6.89 ±0.32,Ang Ⅱ (ng/L):66.48 ± 17.64 vs.84.55 ± 20.39,BNP (μg/L):138.45 ± 87.55 vs.219.14±88.83,all P ＜ 0.05];The 6MWD,LVEF,SV,CO and E/A were all increased plainly in the observed group [6MWD (m):470.47 ± 79.66 vs.428.46 ± 88.56,LVEF:0.51 ±0.05 vs.0.46 ± 0.04,SV (mL):55.36 ± 2.88 vs.50.32±2.76,CO (L/min):5.74±0.91 vs.4.92±0.74,E/A:1.18±0.27 vs.0.83±0.28,all P ＜ 0.05].The degrees of decreased levels in TC,TG,LDL-C and the degrees of increased levels of HDL-C in observed group were superior to those of the control group,but there were no statistical significant differences (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion JTSXD shows good therapeutic effect and safety for treatment of diabetic patients accompanied by CHF (NYHA functional class Ⅱ-Ⅲ),and its mechanisms may be related to its regulation of glucose (reduction of HbA1c level),correction of lipid metabolism disorders,improvement of myocardial energy supply,inhibition of the activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the secretion of BNP.
RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of method for activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis and resolving phlegm on hypercoagulable state and cardiopulmonary function in patients with COPD and pulmonary heart disease.Methods68 cases of patients with COPD and pulmonary heart disease treated in our hospital were enrolled in the study.According to different treatment methods, they were divided two group.Both groups were treated with routine western medicine and the study group were additionally treated by method for activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis and resolving phlegm.The curative effect was compared between the two groups.ResultsThe condition of respiratory and cardiac insufficiency in the study group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05).The total effective rate of treatment in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (94.12% vs 76.47%) (P<0.05).The PT and APTT in the study group were significantly longer than those in the control group, and FIB was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe method for activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis and resolving phlegm is effective in the treatment of patients with COPD and pulmonary heart disease.The method can effectively improve the cardiopulmonary function and relieve the hypercoagulable state in patients.
RESUMO
Lung cancer, as the highest incidence and mortality in the world, has become a majorkiller of human health. Most patients received chemotherapy to alleviate symptoms and prolong life when they are in the middle and advanced stage of lung cancer. The supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation method of traditional Chinese medicine maybe the breakthrough point for lung cancer. Thus, this paper reviewed the clincial research on the single agent, compound and Chinese patent medicine, which relected the meaning of upplementing Qi and activating blood circulation, for bone marrow suppression caused by lung cancer chemotherapy.
RESUMO
Objective To discuss the clinical value of benefiting Qi and activating blood circulation on crit-ical limb ischemia(CLI)of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO)after intervention. Methods Totally 43 patients with CLI were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. Patients in control group re-ceived basic treatment and interventional therapy,and those in treatment group additional benefiting Qi and activat-ing blood circulation for 6 months.The ankle brachial index(ABI),clinical symptoms and patency rate of vascular in 1 month,3 months and 6 months after angioplasty were analyzed and compared. Results ABI in treatment group 1 month,3 months and 6 months after angioplasty was increased when compared with that in control group (P<0.05),and the incidence rate of claudication and rest pain was significantly lower than that in control group 3 months and 6 months later(P<0.05).The patency rate of vessels in treatment group was higher than that of con-trol group and there was significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05). Conclusions Benefiting Qi to activating blood circulation could improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the degree of restenosis in patients with CLI.
