Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Benazepril on inflammatory cytokines in patients with primary hypertension and its efficacy analysis.Methods 72 patients with mild to moderate primary hypertension were randomly divided into benazepril group(37 cases)and control group(35 cases).The control group patients were given felodipine sustained release tablets Stag,1 times daily.Benazepril group were given benazepril tablets 10mg,1 times daily.Both groups were treated for 8 weeks.Changes in blood pressure and heart rate,plasma inflammatory cytokine levels and the adverse reactions were observed.Results After 8 weeks of treatment,the patients' blood pressures were significantly decreased (t =2.87,2.43,2.31,2.23,P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01) than before in both groups.And the decrease in the benazepril group was more obvious than that in the control group (t =2.21,2.13,all P ＜ 0.05),while the patients' heart rates in the two groups showed no significant change (P ＞ 0.05) ; Patients' plasma IL-4 and IL-8 levels decreased significantly,plasma IL-10 levels increased significantly (t =2.99,2.87,3.21,2.13,2.19,2.23,all P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and the magnitude of decrease or increase in the benazepril group were more obvious compared with the control group (t =2.21,2.13,2.34,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Benazepril in the treatment of primary hypertension has good antihypertensive effect and security which can significantly reduce the plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-8 levels,improve the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 levels,and has the role of suppressing the inflammatory response of the vessel wall.
