Abstract
|
[Objective] To observe the effect of Xinnao Xuemai Ning (calming heart and brain and blood vessel) on serum CRP and the infiltration of inflammatory cell in plaque of rabbit with vulnerable plaque. [Methods] The vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque model was reproduced by pulling injury of abdominal aorta endothelium combined with high lipid forage. One week later,Xinnao Xuemai Ning was administered to the vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque model for twelve weeks. At the end blood was collected for CRP test by ELISA,then the plaque was disrupted with medico-triggered at 48 h and 24 h before sacrificing the animals. Abdominal aorta plaques were gathered for observation of inflammatory cell infiltration.[Results] The positive correlation was found between the serum CRP and inflammatory cell infiltration in plaque. Xinnao Xuemai Ning could reduce the number of plaque rupture and the level of serum inflammatory CRP. There was significant difference between model group and Xinnao Xuemai Ning group(P<0.05).[Conclusions] Xinnao Xuemai Ning can increase the stability of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque,Its mechanism of action was correlated with anti-inflammation. |
