Abstract:
Objective To explore the anomalous effects of India buead and coix seed powder on phlegm-dampness constitution dyslipidemia through population-based intervention studies. Methods According to the experimental results of the model group with dyslipidemia, the phlegm-dampness population meeting the inclusion criteria were chosen as the samples for the randomized controlled trial, who were divided into test meal (21 males and 39 females) and blank control (23 males and 37 females) groups with 60 cases in each, aged 18 to 65 y and the total of 120 cases completed the study. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 18.0 statistical software. The self comparison wass conducted by the method of paired-sample t test and the comparison between groups was conducted by using independent sample t test. The categorical statistics were described as frequency and compared throughc2 test, P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Without changing the original way of life, the meal group having taken the India buead and coix seed powder was compared independently and with the control group for TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C to detect the trends and degrees of the level changes. Meanwhile, according to efficacy tests and standards, the changes in the level of TC, TG and HDL-C have been evaluated and the efficiency and total effective rates of all the variables have been calculated. Results After the intervention, there was a declining tendency in each variable, 8.9%in TC, 21.4%in TG, and 27.2%in LDL-C, except for an increase of 0.13 mmol/L in HDL. There were significant differences in the variables before and after the intervention (P<0.05 in each). As for the test meal group after the intervention, the effectiveness of TC has been obtained in 25 cases and inefficacy in 35 cases, with efficiency of 41.7%;the effectiveness of TG has been shown in 53 cases and inefficacy in 7 cases, with efficiency of 88.3%;the effectiveness of HDL-C has been gained in26 cases and inefficacy in 34 cases, with efficiency of 43.3%; and the total effective rate was 57.8%. Conclusions There are significant changes and improvements in TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C in the test meal group after the intervention with the powder, which demonstrate that the powder is effective in the reduction of TG for animals with dyslipidemia and populations with phlegm-dampness constitution.
