Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect between Xuezhikang and rosuvastatin on carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) .Methods :A total of 90 patients with carotid atherosclerosis were randomly and equally divided into control group ,Xuezhikang group and rosuvastatin group according to number table .After six-month treatment ,changes of blood lipid levels and IMT were compared among three groups .Results:Compared with before treatment ,there were significant improvements in blood lipid levels (except high density lipoprotein cholesterol ) and IMT after six months in Xuezhikang group and rosuvastatin group , P<0.05~ <0.01 ;compared with control group after treat-ment ,there were significant reductions in levels of triglyceride [ (2.12 ± 0.97) mmol/L vs .(1.17 ± 0.47) mmol/L , (1.87 ± 0.97) mmol/L] ,total cholesterol [ (5.95 ± 0.65) mmol/L vs . (5.14 ± 0.71) mmol/L ,(4.75 ± 0.64) mmol/L] and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C , (3.64 ± 0.45 ) mmol/L vs . (3.01 ± 0.51 ) mmol/L , (2.15 ± 0.55) mmol/L] ,IMT [ (1.15 ± 0.15) mm vs .(1.01 ± 0.08) mm , (0.98 ± 0.02) mm] and total plaque score [ (6.10 ± 2.12) scores vs .(4.61 ± 2.08) scores , (4.59 ± 2.34) scores] in Xuezhikang group and rosuvastatin group , P<0.05~ <0.01 .After treatment ,there were no significant difference in above indexes between Xuezhi-kang group and rosuvastatin group ( P> 0.05 all) except that LDL-C level of rosuvastatin group was significantly lower than that of Xuezhikang group ( P< 0.05 ) .Conclusion:Both Xuezhikang and rosuvastatin can significantly improve carotid atherosclerosis ,and their therapeutic effects are equal .
