The changes in elasticity of the carotid artery in the patients,including stiffness parameter（β）,pressure-strain elastic modulus（Ep）,arterial compliance（AC）,augmentation index（Al）,and pulse wave velocity（PVWβ） were determined by the echo-tracking technique before and after a 12-week treatment.In the meantime,their levels of nitric oxide（NO） and endothelin-1（ET-1） were measured respectively.Results：After treatment,all parameters in the 24-h ABPM and the elasticity of the carotid artery（β,Ep,AC and PVWβ） were markedly improved,the level of NO was increased,and ET-1 was decreased in both groups as compared with values before treatment （P0.05 or P0.01）.Further,the improvements in the ratio of T/P of SBP DBP and in the level of NO and ET-1 in the treatment group were more significant than those in the control group（P0.05）.There were no significant differences in all parameters in the ABPM monitoring and the elasticity of the carotid artery,the recovery of blood pressure circadian rhythm,and the therapeutic effect of antihypertension in EH patients between the two groups （P0.05）.Conclusions：Chinese herbal medicine for CGSHY may lower the blood pressure smoothly and recover the circadian rhythm of blood pressure in EH patients.They may also improve the carotid elasticity of EH patients similar to that of Enalapril.The mechanism of action of Chinese herbs on EH might be related to the regulation of vascular endothelium function.展开更多

The 45 cases in Group A were treated with CHM combined with BAC and the 45 cases in Group B treated with BAC alone. The short-term and long-term effect, follow-up survival rate, quality of life, changes of clinical symptoms and peripheral blood figures in the patients were observed.Results: After treatment, the rate of CR+PR+NC in the two groups was 88.89% and 68.89% respectively, the inter-group comparison showed a significant difference (P<0.05). The 0.5-, 1- and 2-year survival rate in Group A was 75.56%, 55.56% and 48.89% respectively and in Group B 71.11%, 46.67% and 24.44% respectively. The 2-year survival rate in the former was better than that in the latter (P<0.05). Moreover, the improvement of clinical symptoms, Karnofsky scoring, body weight and peripheral blood figure in Group A was superior to those in Group B.Conclusion: Therapeutic effect of BAC could be enhanced by combining it with CHM.展开更多
