[The study on the effect of ginkgo biloba extract on homocysteine and serum lipids concentration of patients with severe OSAHS].

Objective:To investigate the effects of ginkgo biloba extract on plasma homocysteine and blood lipid concentration of patients with severe OSAHS.Method:One hundred and forty cases of severe OSAHS patients were selected with means of multichannel sleep monitor, and were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.Both the two groups of patients were given basic treatment.In addition, the treatment group was given ginkgo biloba extract injection. The changes of Hcy and lipid concentrations of the two groups of patients after treatment were tested.Result:After 10 days of treatment, peripheral serum Hcy, total cholesterol (total cholesterol, TC), total triglyceride(total triglycerides, TG concentration) in both two groups decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0 .05), and above parameters in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group.Conclusion:Intravenous infusion of ginkgo biloba extract can further reduce the serum Hcy and serum lipid concentration in patients with OSAHS.
