The effect of Naoxintong capsule treatment on carotid artery intima-media thickness, serum beta thromboglobulin,P-selectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in elderly type 2 diabetic patients with subclinical atherosclerotic vascular disease / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of Naoxintong Capsule treatment on the carotid artery intima media thickness(IMT),plasma beta thromboglobulin(beta TG),P-selectin(CD62p)and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI 1)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and subclinical atherosclerotic vascular disease.Methods In retrospective study,110 cases of elderly patients with type 2 diabetic vascular diseases were selected and admitted as study subjects from June 2014 to May 2015.They were randomized into observation group and control group(n=55,each).All patients were given routine treatment.The patients in the observation group were treated with Naoxintong Capsule.The levels of plasma β-TG,CD62p and PAI 1 were measured and compared between two groups.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in IMT,PAI 1,β-TG and CD62p levels between the two groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the observation group versus control group showed an improved four parameters of carotid artery IMT(1.31 ±0.26)mm vs.(1.44±0.26)mm,PAI 1(2.23 ±0.48)μg/L vs.(2.56 ±0.61)μg/L,β-TG(29.76 ± 10.24)μg/L vs.(35.98 ± 10.35)tμg/L,CD62p(162.3 ± 21.5)ng/L vs.(176.96 ± 20.3)ng/L(t=4.058,3.965,11.293,14.624 respectively,all P ＜ 0.05) with statistically significant differences.Conclusions Naoxintong Capsule treatment of type 2 diabetic patients with subclinical atherosclerotic vascular disease can reduce carotid intima-media thickness,decrease platelet releasing activity and lower the oxidative stress reaction.Thereby,it protects the vascular endothelium,and alleviates subclinical atherosclerotic vascular disease in the elderly type 2 diabetic patients.
