Intervention of Huoxue Tongmai Tablets on Carotid Vulnerable Plaques
Objective: To discuss the effects of Huoxue Tongmai tablets on thickness and stability of vulnerable plaques in carotid artery
and investigate their action mechanism from anti-platelet activation and anti-inflammatory response. Method: One hundred and fifty patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group by random number table. Patients in control group received Bayaspirin enteric-coated tablets
100 mg/time
1 time/day
Atorvastatin calcium tablets
10 mg/time
1 time/day. Based on the treatment in control group
the patients in observation group added Huoxue Tongmai tablets
5 tablets/time
3 times/day. The treatment course was 4 months in both groups. Before and after treatment
thickness of carotid intima of the carotid artery (IMT) was detected by color Doppler ultrasound; bilateral carotid plaque score was calculated by Crouse plaque integration method.The maximum blood flow velocity (Vmax) of common carotid artery systolic stage
the minimum blood flow velocity (Vmin) of diastolic stage
resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) were detected. Levels of triglycerides (TG)
total cholesterol (TC)
high density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) were detected. Levels of activity marker protein of platelet surface CD62 p
CD63 and receptor complex of glycoprotein (GP)Ⅱb/Ⅲa
high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) were detected. In addition
the scores of blood stasis syndrome were graded and safety evaluation was evaluated both before and after treatment. Result: After treatment
thickness of IMT
numbers of plaques and scores of Crouse in observation group were less than those in control group (P<0.01). Vmax and Vmin were faster than those in control group
and PI was lower than that in control group (P<0.01). Levels of TG
TC and LDL-C and CD62 p
CD63 and receptor complex of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa and scores of blood stasis syndrome
as well as levels of hs-CRP
IL-6
TNF-α and MMP-9 were lower than those in control group
while the level of HDL-C was higher than that in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Huoxue Tongmai tablets can shrink the plaque
reduce plaque thickness
ameliorate carotid blood flow
decrease degree of platelet activation and anti-inflammatory response
make plaques stable
regulate lipid metabolism
decrease blood stasis syndrome
and all of those can prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.
