Objective: To observe the effect of Huatan Tongluo Granule (HTG) on the expression of suppressors of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) of phlegm-wind-stasis obstruction (PWSO) syndrome type.
Methods: Sixty-six ACI patients of PWSO type admitted within 72 h were randomized into the treatment group (34 cases) and the control group (32 cases), they were treated with foundational therapeutics, but HTG was given additionally to patients in the treatment group. SOCS-3 expression was detected by ELISA before treatment (d0) and on the 3rd (d3) and 7th day (d7) of treatment; TNF-alpha expression was detected by chemiluminescence at dO and d7.
