Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of Xuan Yun Ning on the plasma endothelin in pafients with vertebrobasilar ischemia.Methods 60 cases of vertebrobasila ischemia were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Nimodipin,and the treatment group was treated with Xuan Yun Ning plus Nimodipin.Another 30 healthy persons whose age is more than 40 years were recruited for a healthy control group without any treatment The alterations of plasma endothelin were measured by radiation immunological test in the treatment group,the control group,and the healthy control group.Results The elevated plasma endothelin was significantly decreased in treatment group than the control group and the healthy control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Xuan Yun Ning improves the blood volume by lowering the level of plasma endothelin and thus treats patients with vertebrobasilar ischemia.
