RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Blood platelet is active commonly appeared in both acute and recovery stages in ischemic cerebral apoplexy. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) are closely correlated with the blood platelet function.OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of compound danshen drop on clinical prevention and treatment of transient cerebral ischemic attack (TIA) and the influence on serum cAMP and cGMP.DESIGN: Randomized control experiment.SETTING: Department of Neurology of Binzhou Medical College affiliatedHospitalPARTICIPANTS: Totally 180 TIA patients participated in the experiment in volunteer in the clinic of Neurological Department of Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from September 2000 to April 2001. Based on randomized number scale, 3 groups were divided according to dosages of compound danshen drop. In 10 drops/d group, there were 60 cases, of which 35 cases were male and 25 cases female, aged varied from 50 to 70 years, averagely (54.3±7.2) years old. In 20 drops/d group, there were 60 cases, of which, 32 cases were male and 28 cases female, aged varied from 49 to 62 years, averagely (55.7±5.1) years old. In 30 drops/d group, there were 60 cases, of which, 33 cases were male and 27 cases female, aged varied from 52 to 69 years, averagely (54.9±5.5) years old.METHODS: In 10 drops/d group, the drug was given once per day, 10drops each time. In 20 drops/d group, the drug was given twice per day,10 drops each time. In 30 drops/d group, the drug was given three times per day, 10 drops each time. Four weeks after medication, 3 mL blood was collected from each patient in the morning. With radioimmunoassay, the contents of cAMP and cGMP in serum were determined. Each case was tions, gem bleeding, epistaxis, subcutaneous bleeding, mouth numbness,headache, dizziness, etc.tack: In 10 drops/d group, there were 1 case in internal carotid arterial system, 2 cases in vertebral arterial system, 1 case of cerebral infarction and 2 cases of myocardial infarction. In 20 drops/d group, it was 2, 2 and 1 cases successively and in 30 drops/d group, it was 1, 2, 1 cases succesgroup: There were 1, 2 and 4 cases of harmful accident and side effects in three groups successively, of which, peripheral numbness of mouth 1 case in 10 drops/d group, 1 case of either peripheral numbness of mouth or headache in 20 drops/d group, gastrointestinal reaction 1 case, peripheral numbness of mouth 2 cases and dizziness 1 case in 30 drops/d group.There was no gem bleeding, epistaxis and subcutaneous bleeding, and no patient was withdrawn the treatment due to above-mentioned side effects.With comparison among groups, significant difference was not indicated The contents of cAMP were (21.22±3.94), (22.5±3.67), (23.1±7.7) ng/Land cGMP were (3.67±1.18), (4.74±2.12), (4.6±0.7) ng/L successively in three groups (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: During second-grade prevention of TIA, compound danshen drop presents definite therapeutic effects, which is basically same in comparison of dosages. Simultaneously, no remarkable side effects appear.
