Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect of Huoxue Quban Pill(活血祛斑丸)on carotid atherosclerotic plaque and the neck blood flow.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on carotid artery ultrasound of 158 patients with cervical vascular plaques.According to the medication situation during the treatment course,they were divided into the control group,the western medicine group and the traditional Chinese medicine group.The control group did not take any medication or took lipid-lowering and plaque-controlling drugs of both western and traditional Chinese medicine for no more than 3 months each year.The western medicine group took lipid-lowering and plaque-controlling western medicine regularly for no less than 9 months each year.The traditional Chinese medicine group took Huoxue Quban Pills on the basis of the treatment of the western medicine group.One year was defined as one treatment course and was recorded as one case.The changes of unilateral plaque within one course of treatment were recorded as one frequency,and the frequency was used as the statistical sample.The changes of carotid atherosclerotic plaques and the blood flow of carotid and vertebral arteries before and after the treatment course in the three groups were observed.Results:The length and thickness of bilateral carotid atherosclerotic plaques decreased in the traditional Chinese medicine group(P＜0.05).The thickness of left carotid atherosclerotic plaques increased slightly in the western medicine group(P＜0.05),and the length and thickness of bilateral carotid atherosclerotic plaques increased in the control group(P＜0.05).The thickness of the right atherosclerotic plaque in the western medicine group was lower than that in the control group after treatment(P＜0.05).The number of effective cases of plaque length and thickness change in the traditional Chinese medicine group was the greatest,followed by the western medicine group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The difference of blood flow of carotid artery and vertebral artery among the three groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Huoxue Quban Pill can effectively reduce carotid atherosclerotic plaque and increase blood supply to the brain.
