title: [Effects of nao yi-an granule on hemorheological indexes and RCD (erythrocyte deformability) in patients with hemorrhagic stroke].
abstract: The effects of Nao Yi-an granule(Chinese medicine group, CMG) and western medicine (western medicine group, WMG) on hemorheological indexes and red cell deformability(RCD) were investigated in 40 patients with hemorrhagic stroke. The results showed that whole blood relative viscosity(high and low shear), whole blood reduced viscosity(high shear), plasma relative viscosity and RCD were significantly elevated before the treatment in both group than those of the control group(P < 0.01). After the treatment, the above indexes were lower in CMG than before the treatment and also lower in CMG than in WMG(P < 0.01). It is indicated that the Nao Yi-an granule is obviously superior to western medicine on the decrease of blood viscosity, increase of RCD, improvement of blood perfusion of brain tissue, protection of brain tissue and improved clinical in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.
