Shu Xin Yi Mai Capsule combined with Western medical routine treatment was used for 22 successful cases of coronary intervention treatment ( Chinese - Western Medicine group) and 28 cases routinely treated with simple Western medicine were used as control (Western medicine group). Recurrence rales of angina pectoris before and after treatment were observed. Results indicated that the recurrence rate in the Chinese -Western medicine group was significantly lower than that in the Western medicine group GP

Objective To observe the effect of Yixin Jiangya Capsule (YXJYC) on serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level in patients of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) of primary hypertension at stageⅡ with Yinxu Yangkang and blood stasis syndrome (YXYKBSS). Methods 93 patients were randomly divided into the treated group (62 patients) and the control group (31 patients). The two groups were both treated with enalapril, and the treated group was treated with YXJYC simultaneously. Treatment course of the two groups was 6 months. Radioimmunoassay was used to examine the level of serum IGF-1 before and after treatment in the two groups, compared with that of 30 healthy persons. Results Before treatment, serum IGF-1 level was significantly higher in both groups than that in the healthy persons (P

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy induced by primary hyper tension is a risk factor which has a dependent effect on various cardiovas cular complications. Reversal left ventricular hypertrophy has been a keyobject for treating hypertension currently. Plasma neuropeptide Y has en dothelium-derived contracting blood vessel, and has adjusting effect on va somotor function through endothelial cell to participate in onset and main tenance of hypertension. OBJECTIVE: To investigate effect of yixin jiangya capsule on left ven tricular mass index (LVMI) and content of neuropeptide Y of primary grade2 hypertensive patiepts with left ventricular hypertrophy of hyperactivity ofyang due to yin deficiency blood stasis. DESIGN: Case analysis on the basis of patients. SETTING: Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, General Hospitalof Jinan Military Area Command of Chinese PLA; Department of InternalMedicine, Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chi nese Medicine. PARTICIPANTS: Totally 93 primary grade 2 hypertensive patients withleft ventricular hypertrophy of hyperactivity of yang due to yin deficiency blood stasis were selected from General Hospital of Jinan Military AreaCommand of Chinese PLA and Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2003 to August 2005. All cases were divided into two groups according to random digital table. There were 62 cases in observational group including 40 males and 22 females aged from 46 to 70 years with mean age of 58.94 years and coursed from 2 to 19 years with mean course of 8.93 years. There were 31 cases in control group including 19 males and 12 females aged from 44 to 69 years with mean age of 59.27 years and coursed from 2.5 to 18 years with mean course of 9.11 years. Another 30 people were regarded as healthy group.METHODS: Patients in both groups were treated with enalaprol orally with 10 mg each time of once a day. Patients in observational group were also treated with yixin jiangya capsule (component: shengrlihuang, shengshouwu, sangjisheng, chuanniuxi, gouteng, shijueming, xiakucao, tianma,mudanpi, chishaoyao, dilong, chuanshanjia, etc. Mixed according to ratio,extracted, concentrated, made of capsule, 0.5 g/pill, 4.65 g/raw drug, provided by Shandong Jinan Hongjitang Pharmacy Limited-liability Company,batch number:. 021214), 5 pills once for 3 times every day. Courses in both groups were 24 weeks respectively. LVMI and content of neuropeptide Y were measured with ultrasonic cardiograph and radio-immunity analysis method before and after treatment. Meanwhile, indexes mentioned above were also measured in healthy group so as to regard as the controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURFS: LVMI, content of neuropeptide Y,changes of blood pressure, adverse events and side effects.RESULTS: Totally 93 patients entered the final analysis. ① LVMI and content of neuropeptide Y were increased both observational group and control group before treatment [(147.2±16.9), (146.7±17.2), (101.8±.22.4) g/m2;(135.4±33.2), (133.8±31.1), (78.6±24.5) ng/L.; P ＜ 0.01]. ② LVMI and content of neuropeptide Y were decreased both observational group and control group after 24-week treatment, and those in observational group were superior to those in control group [(103.9±24.6), (122.6±19.9) g/m2;(82.9±25.2), (113.7±26.2) ng/L; P ＜ 0.05-0.01]. ③ LVMI and content of neuropeptide Y in observational group were not significantly different from those in healthy group increased both in observational group and control group after treatment (P.＞ 0.05), and those in control group were higher than those in healthy group (P ＜ 0.01). ④ Descent levels of systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were not significantly different between observational group and control group [(137.4±12.8), (134.2:t:11.9) mm Hg;(80.1±8.3), (81.7±7.4) mm Hg, P ＞ 0.05]. Blood routine and liver-kidney function were not changed obviously both groups before and after treatment, and side effect was not observed during the process.CONCLUSION: LVMI and content of neuropeptide Y of primary grade 2 hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy of hyperactivity of yang due to yin deficiency blood stasis are higher than those of healthy people. Yixin jiangya capsule can deteriorate left ventricular hypertrophy and decrease the content of neuropeptide Y on the basis of application of enalaprol.
