title: [Effect of compound Salvia injection on blood coagulation in patients with traumatic cerebral infarction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of compound Salvia injection (CSI) on blood coagulatory function in patients with traumatic cerebral infarction (TCI).
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty-four patients with TCI were randomly divided into two groups, 32 in each group. The treated group were treated with CSI plus conventional treatment of western medicine, and the control group treated with conventional treatment alone. Changes of symptoms, levels of plasma P-selectin (P-S), von Willebrand's factor (vWf) and D-dimer were observed with ELISA.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The treated group was superior to the control group in Glasgow outcome scale (P < 0.01). Before treatment, the levels of plasma P-S, vWf and D-dimer in the TCI patients were higher than those in healthy people. After treatment, all the parameters lowered in both groups, but the effect of lowering was greater in the treated group than that in the control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Blood coagulation disorder exists in patients with TCI, CSI could improve it, and might alleviate the cerebral damage to a certain extent.
