葛芪血府逐瘀湯治療氣虛血瘀型老年單純收縮期高血壓的臨床療效觀察摘要

目的：觀察葛芪血府逐瘀湯治療氣虛血瘀型老年單純收縮期高血壓的臨床療效，并探討其可能的作用機(jī)制。

方法：將60例符合選入標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的老年單純收縮期高血壓患者隨機(jī)分為治療組和對(duì)照組，治療組予以口服葛芪血府逐瘀湯，對(duì)照組予以地?fù)渫@片治療，兩組均治療4周，比較兩組的血壓參數(shù)及相關(guān)生化指標(biāo)。

結(jié)果：治療組的血壓控制效果明顯優(yōu)于對(duì)照組（收縮壓：P＜0.05，舒張壓：P＜0.01），治療組血漿紅細(xì)胞超氧化物歧化酶和丙二醛水平均顯著降低（P＜0.01），血清一氧化氮水平與對(duì)照組比較差異無統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義（P＞0.05）。

結(jié)論：葛芪血府逐瘀湯可以治療氣虛血瘀型老年單純收縮期高血壓，其作用可能與其減輕氧化應(yīng)激反應(yīng)、改善氧化還原失衡有關(guān)。

關(guān)鍵詞：葛芪血府逐瘀湯；氣虛血瘀型；老年單純收縮期高血壓；氧化應(yīng)激反應(yīng)；氧化還原失衡。

Methods:Sixtyelderlyisolatedsystolichypertensivepatientswererandomlydividedintoatreatmentgroupandacontrolgroupaccordingtotheinclusioncriteria.ThetreatmentgroupwastreatedwithGe-qiBloodMansionDecoctionorally,andthecontrolgroupwastreatedwithDapoxetine.Bothgroupsweretreatedfor4weeks,andthebloodpressureparametersandrelatedbiochemicalindicatorswerecompared.

Results:Thebloodpressurecontroleffectofthetreatmentgroupwassignificantlybetterthanthatofthecontrolgroup(systolicbloodpressure:P＜0.05,diastolicbloodpressure:P＜0.01),andtheplasmasuperoxidedismutaseandmalondialdehydelevelsinthetreatmentgroupweresignificantlylowerthanthoseofthecontrolgroup(P＜0.01).Therewasnosignificantdifferenceinserumnitricoxidelevelscomparedwiththecontrolgroup(P＞0.05).
