[Effect of "Yiqi yangyin huoxue" prescription on hemorrheology of diabetics with symptoms of "qi, yin" deficiency and stasis of blood].
Hemorrheologic tests were studied in 68 cases of diabetes with symptoms of deficiency of both Qi and Yin and blood stasis. The results showed that whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit and RBC filterability in diabetics were significantly higher than in normal controls, except for hematocrit in male patients. After treatment with "Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue" prescription by Prof. Zhu Shenyu, whole blood viscosity (at shear rates of 3.83 s-1, 38.3 s-1, 192 s-1), plasma viscosity, hematocrit and RBC filterability were apparently improved, with a decrease of fasting blood sugar, as compared with patients of the placebo group.
