title: [Clinical study on treatment of arteriosclerosis obliterans using huangqi tongmai decoction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To test and verify the effects of Huangqi Tongmai Decoction (HQTMI) regulating blood lipid in treating arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO).
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-two cases of ASO was treated with HQTMD for two months. The drug was in water decoction, oral taken.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with the blood lipid level before treatment, the high density lipoprotein of cholesterol (HDL-C) was increased, the low density lipoprotein of cholesterol (LDL-C), atherogenic index (AI) was decreased (P < 0.01). The serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), very low density lipoprotein of cholesterol (VLDL), apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) were all changed (P < 0.05). apoA1/apoB100 ratio increased.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HQTMD could regulate blood lipid. This method was effective in treating ASO.
