This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Liangxuehuayu Recipe on hemorheology in rats with blood stasis syndrome induced by mutifactor stimuli. METHODS: SD rats were divided into control, model, Liangxuehuayu Recipe (high, middle and low dose, 18, 9, 4.5 g/kg accordingly). Except the control group, blood stasis model was established in the rest groups. The hemorheological parameters were measured and compared. RESULTS: Blood viscosity at high, moderate and low level in rats with blood stasis significantly increased (P<0.05), but blood viscosity at high level and plasma viscosity was significantly decreased in rats induced by some stimuli after Liangxuehuayu Recipe were intra-gastrically administered for 1 weeks (P<0.01, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Liangxuehuayu Recipe is effective in improving hemorheology, and has important application value in the prevention of occurrence and development of ischemic stroke.
