[Further study on the indexes of auxiliary laboratory diagnosis in the syndrome of hyperactivity of liver-yang].
The indexes of auxiliary laboratory diagnosis, including plasma norepinephine (NE) levels, plasma epinephrine (E) levels, mean blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA-Vm) and systolic blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA-Vs), were observed in patients with the syndrome of hyperactivity liver-yang. The results indicated that the levels of the 4 indexes were significantly higher in the patients with the syndrome of hyperactivity liver-yang than those in the controls. In hypertension patients with the syndrome of hyperactivity liver-yang, there was a positive correlation between symptomatic scores of the syndrome of hyperactivity liver-yang and diastolic pressure (Pd), plasma NE and E levels. The symptoms ameliorated, and the levels of the 4 indexes decreased correspondingly in 3 weeks after the treatment of Qianyangfang (a traditional Chinese herb).
