The integrate of 1 ahes and coma were ( 7. 8 ± 2. 4), (9. 4 ± 2. 1 ) marks and ( 2. 5 ± 0. 6), (3. 1 ± 0. 9) respectively, it was lower than before treatment(11.9 ±2.3) ,(12.3 ±2.9) marks and (5.6 ± 1.4) ,(5.3 ± 1.2) marks. Aches and coma showed a great difference after treatment from those before treatment( t = 34. 641、6. 159、6. 173、6. 080,all P ＜0. 05 ). Aches and coma were lower then those of control group(t =9. 283、3. 464,all P ＜0. 05). No severe adverse reaction occurred in two groups.
