I would rephrase that whole thing to say this:

In the paper, we reviewed the research status of Chinese herbs that enrich liver and kidney function.  These herbs could prevent and cure atherosclerosis by reducing serum lipids(**YES, PLURAL**), repairing and protecting vascular endothelial cells, inhibiting the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, providing antioxidation, etc.  This study could establish a foundation for future studies.

 (This is just my opinion.  I have been a medical transcriptionist/medical language specialist for 13 years.  I also write curriculum for MT.)
