Influences of Dengzhan Xixin injection(灯盏细辛注射液) on vascular endothelial function in patients with(acute) cerebral infarction / 中国中西医结合急救杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the influences of Dengzhan Xixin injection(灯盏细辛注射液) on(vascular) endothelial function and neurological deficit extent in patients with acute cerebral infarction.(Methods) Eightyseven patients with mild to moderate acute cerebral infarction were randomly(divided) into Dengzhan Xixin injection treatment group(treatment group,42 cases) and control group(45 cases) by the random method of envelope and card.The patients in both groups were treated with the same basic therapy.The treatment group was treated with 40 ml of Dengzhan Xixin injection,and the control group was treated with 16 ml of salvia miltiorrhiza injection.The therapeutic course was 14 days in both groups and 2 courses were applied.The changes of circulating endothelial cell count(CEC),the levels of endothelin(ET) and(calcitonin) generelated peptide(CGRP) in plasma as well as neurological deficit were measured and(compared).Results: The plasma CEC,ET in treatment group((8.0?3.6)cells/0.9 ?l and(52.92?(4.52)ng/L)) were significantly lower than those in control group((10.2?3.3)cells/0.9 ?l and(60.12?(3.23)ng/L)),but the plasma CGRP was higher than that in the(control) group on 14 th days((65.23?(1.52)ng/L) vs.(60.12?2.14)ng/L).The differences were significant between the two groups(P
