This study was aimed to observe the effect of Sang-Ji (SJ) mixture in the treatment of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) expression on peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) in hypertensive patients. A total of 60 cases of hyper-tensive cases with overabundant liver-fire and phlegm syndrome were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group with 30 cases in each group. Both groups received Felodipine and/or Benazapril treat-ment. The treatment group was added with SJ mixture. The observation duration was 28 days. The detection was made on indicators such as blood pressure , traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) syndrome scores and TLR-4 ex-pression on PBMCs before and after treatment. The results showed that after treatment, the blood pressure, TCM syndrome scores and TLR-4 expression on PBMCs of both groups decreased compared with that of the pretreat-ment . Changes on TCM syndrome scores and TLR-4 expression of the treatment group were more significant than that of the control group ( P < 0 . 05 ) . It was concluded that SJ mixture improved clinical symptoms in pa-tients with overabundant liver-fire and phlegm syndrome , decreased TLR-4 expression on PBMCs , in order to inhibit the immune response to a certain extent .
