Smoking And Carotid Atherosclerosis In Clinical Research And Its Pathogenesis Discussion

Objective:Through theoretical research and clinical investigation, study of smoking and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with the syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine and analysis of tobacco smoke, pathogen characteristics and pathogenic mechanism, one or two levels of prevention for stroke TCM Prevention and treatment thought of useful. Methods:Selection of patients with carotid atherosclerosis in107cases, including54cases of non smoking smoking group, group of53cases, were compared between the two groups in general, carotid artery IMT, plaque area, thickness, arteriosclerosis, TCM syndrome integral differences.Results:The smoking group and non smoking group statistical results, found the smoking group of age of onset is non-smoking group significantly (P<0.05) in advance. Smoking is accompanied by hypertension, dyslipidemia patients number is higher than that of the smoking group, there was statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Carotid IMT of smoking group, traditional Chinese medicine hot symptoms integral, arteriosclerosis integral than non-smoking group, there was statistically significant difference (P<0.05).Conclusion:Smoking can accelerate carotid atherosclerotic process, make its early age of onset, exacerbations. At the same time, smoking can not only directly affect the carotid atherosclerosis, the risk factors have a significant effect, risk factors interact, accelerated progression of carotid atherosclerosis. Tobacco smoke as fire, heat, turbidity, poison for a complex pathogenic factors, long-term smoking tobacco smoke can help smokers physical change gradually, smokers also gradually change the characteristics of TCM syndromes.
