[Thrombosis test in vitro of 107 cases with arteriosclerosis obliterans]

Thrombosis test in vitro of 107 cases with arteriosclerosis obliterans were measured and controlled by 36 normal persons. Of 107 cases, 13 cases belonged to ischemic phase, 47 cases nutritional disturbance phase, 47 necrosis (24 cases were first degree, 9 cases second degree, 14 third degree). Types distribution were: simple blood stasis 65 cases, blood and damp stasis 34, and 8 others. 46 patients were treated systematically by TCM-WM. The result proved that the indexes of thrombosis test in vitro of patients were much higher than that of normal persons (P less than 0.001). The relevant indexes were different in varied periods, degrees and types (P less than 0.05-0.01) and between before and after treatment (P less than 0.001). Of treated 46 cases, total effective rate was 86.96%, amputation rate was 13.04%. Formation of thrombus in vitro lowered 88.03%. The authors suggested that measurement of thrombosis test might be a accurate way to reflect the course of the disease and a basis for treatment and differentiation of symptoms.
