Randomized Controlled Trial[Platelet parameters and platelet Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression in patients with sepsis, and the effect of a joint treatment-plan integrating traditional Chinese and western medicine: a clinical study].
To examine the efficacy of a treatment regimen combining modern (Western) medication and a traditional Chinese medicinal recipe Modified Liang-Ge San on sepsis, and its effect on platelet parameters/activation, platelet TLR4 expression and the intensity of inflammatory response in the patients. ⋯ In patients with sepsis, platelet TLR4 expression is elevated together with platelet activation. The joint application of Western medicine and Modified Liang-Ge San may suppress such up-regulation in TLR4/other inflammatory mediators, and alleviate platelet activation/thrombocytopenia in these patients.
