Cerebral infarction is a kind of ischemic necrosis disease of brain tissue, which is usually caused by ischemia and hypoxia of brain blood supply. When the brain is in ischemic state, it will produce a lot of free radicals to damage brain tissue, induce brain edema and nerve function damage; In the later stage, patients have sequelae such as inconvenient physical activity, decreased memory and cognitive dysfunction. Due to the change of people's lifestyle, more and more people don't pay attention to their eating habits, and the incidence of cerebral infarction is getting higher and higher, which is more and more harmful to human body, and people's daily life is also affected to a certain extent. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stroke is mainly caused by qi-blood imbalance, deficiency of vital qi, blood stasis and phlegm coagulation, which leads to meridian blockage and blood flow obstruction. The use of traditional Chinese medicine in convalescence can effectively improve its neurological function.

Ginkgo biloba leaves come from the famous plant Ginkgo biloba. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty described the medicinal value of Ginkgo biloba in detail, saying that it is "sweet, bitter, flat, astringent and non-toxic, and cooked food benefits people". Ginkgo biloba extract is a Chinese patent medicine developed by modern pharmaceutical technology. The effective components of Ginkgo biloba leaves are mainly flavonoids and terpenoids, and their main functions are astringing the lung, relieving asthma, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and dredging collaterals. Modern research shows that Ginkgo biloba preparation has the functions of scavenging free radicals, resisting lipid peroxidation, regulating and reducing blood lipid; Anti-platelet activating factor, dilating blood vessels; Protect nerve cells and improve microcirculation. The medicine can be used for treating coronary heart disease, stable angina pectoris, cerebral infarction, chest distress, heartache, apoplexy, hemiplegia, and strong tongue.

Ginkgo biloba leaves belong to drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Excessive blood stasis or long-term use of blood stasis is easy to consume blood and damage the body. Therefore, this medicine can only be used temporarily, and can only be stopped when the condition is moderate (it can be stopped when the curative effect is achieved), and it cannot be taken for a long time. In addition, it should be noted that when Ginkgo biloba leaves are combined with anticoagulants such as heparin, coumarin, aspirin and clopidogrel, it should be monitored to see if there is gingival bleeding and melena.

Xuesaitong is the generic name of Panax Notoginseng saponins, an effective active ingredient of Panax Notoginseng. Sanqi has the effects of stopping bleeding, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. The main components of Xuesaitong are ginsenoside and notoginseng saponin, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of brain edema, improve the permeability of blood barrier of brain tissue and blood supply to the brain, and promote cerebral blood circulation. The main pharmacological effects of Xuesaitong are: the effective components in Xuesaitong can effectively improve the level of superoxide dismutase in brain tissue, scavenge free radicals in brain tissue, and at the same time effectively inhibit platelet aggregation in brain tissue, reduce blood viscosity and improve blood supply to brain. In addition, Xuesaitong can effectively inhibit the influx and release of calcium ions in the body, thus achieving the functions of regulating intracellular calcium ions, dilating cerebral vessels and promoting blood circulation in the brain; And Xuesaitong can effectively act on the vascular smooth muscle of the body, promote the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and improve the blood circulation of the brain.

Sanqi in Xuesaitong has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If it is in the acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage, it is not suitable to use Xuesaitong at this time. In addition, it is not recommended for people who are allergic to panax notoginseng and ginseng and pregnant women who are highly allergic to alcohol during pregnancy.

The main components of Naoxintong Capsule are Salvia Miltiorrhiza, Angelica sinensis, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Semen Persicae, Carthami Flos, Olibanum (processed), Myrrha (processed), Caulis Spatholobi, and bovine gland.

In addition, peach kernel has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis; Vinegar frankincense and vinegar myrrh have the functions of promoting blood circulation, promoting qi circulation, relieving pain, reducing swelling and promoting granulation; Spatholobus suberectus has the functions of expelling wind, promoting blood circulation, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals; Achyranthes bidentata, Ramulus Cinnamomi and Ramulus Mori have the effects of dredging channels and activating collaterals; Lumbricus, Scorpio, and Hirudo have the effects of dredging veins and removing blood stasis. When used together, they have the effects of invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and dredging collaterals, and can be used for treating cerebral infarction caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis.

Modern research shows that Naoxintong capsule has high anticoagulant and anti-atherosclerosis effects, which can effectively prevent thrombosis, reduce inflammatory stress, improve microcirculation, target stroke patients and improve their neurological function. There are few gastrointestinal reactions during taking, so people who are allergic to ingredients should use it with caution.

It is mainly used for apoplexy caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis, such as meridians, hemiplegia, numbness of limbs, mouth and eyes askew, strong tongue, chest tightness, palpitation and shortness of breath. Cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease and angina pectoris all belong to the above syndromes. Combined with western medicine to treat coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and cerebrovascular disease. It is helpful to reduce the incidence of angina pectoris after myocardial infarction, improve ECG and blood lipid, prevent the recurrence of myocardial infarction and improve the neurological deficit of patients.

Tongxinluo Capsule consists of Ginseng Radix, Hirudo, Scorpio, Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga, Scolopendra, Periostracum Cicadae, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Lignum Dalbergiae Odoriferae, Olibanum, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae and Borneolum Syntheticum. The prescription is mixed with various insect traditional Chinese medicines, and has the effects of invigorating qi, promoting blood circulation, dredging collaterals and relieving pain. Modern research shows that Tongxinluo capsule can obviously improve the degree of acute myocardial ischemia in dogs, narrow the range of myocardial infarction, increase coronary blood flow, improve myocardial blood supply and oxygen supply, and improve left ventricular function. At the same time, it can obviously improve myocardial ischemia caused by coronary artery spasm caused by pituitrin in rats, prevent and treat ventricular arrhythmia caused by chloroform in mice, and obviously reduce the blood lipid level of rats fed with high fat. # Family Health and Rational Drug Use # # Family Health Guardian # # Pension Knowledge Competition #

It is mainly used for coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, characterized by heart qi deficiency and blood stasis blocking collaterals, such as chest tightness, tingling, colic, immobility, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitation and spontaneous sweating, purple tongue or ecchymosis, thready and astringent pulse or stagnation. Hemorrhagic diseases, pregnant women and menstrual women are prohibited. Individual patients may have stomach discomfort or stomachache after taking the medicine, which will disappear after taking it after meals.

To sum up, Ginkgo biloba and Xuesaitong tablets are Chinese patent medicines mainly for promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, while Naoxintong capsules and Tongxinluo capsules are Chinese patent medicines mainly for tonifying deficiency and dredging collaterals. It needs to be selected after TCM syndrome differentiation.
