    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine (TCM-WM) and its influence on plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO) and apoproteins. METHODS: Ninety patients of peripheral atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) were divided into three groups randomly and treated with Salvia injection (SI), prostaglandin E1(PGE1) and SI + PGE1 respectively. The clinical manifestation of patients was observed dynamically, plasma level of ET-1, NO and apoprotein were tested before and after treatment by radioimmunoassay, Griss method, immuno-transmission method and enzyme method. RESULTS: The cure rate of the SI, PGE1 and TCM-WM group was 26.67%, 33.33% and 46.67% respectively, the effective rate of them was 26.67%, 40.00% and 43.33% respectively. The therapeutic effect of the TCM-WM group was better than that of the SI and PGE1 group, P < 0.01. The plasma level of ET-1, NO and apoprotein was positively correlated with the stage altering of ASO, it was normalized gradually when ASO was alleviating effectively. CONCLUSION: The TCM-WM therapy has good clinical effect in treating ASO. To observe the change of ET-1, NO and apoprotein level before and after treatment dynamically is helpful to judge the severity, progress of disease and effect of treatment, and has high clinical significance.
