Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effect of Shuxuening infection on the level of homocysteine (Hcy)and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in peripheral blood for the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and carotid plaque.Methods Forty-two elderly patients were randomly divided into two groups.The observation group was given conventional therapy adding Shuxuening infection,while the control group was given conventional therapy only.After four weeks serum hs-CRP concentrations and homocysteine changes before and after the use of Shuxuening infection were compared.Results The levels of hs-CRP and Hcy in observation group after treatment were significantly lower than before the treatment and control group after treatment [(3.2 ± 1.8) mg/L vs (7.6± 1.0)mg/L,(5.8 ±2.2)mg/L;(9.4 ±3.1) μmol/L vs (17.1 ± 2.6) μmol/L,(14.7 ±3.2) μmol/L] (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Shuxuening infection can decrease the serum concentration of Hcy and hs-CRP parameters in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and carotid plaque.
