Effect of combined acupuncture and medication for hypertension due to type 2 diabetes mellitus and plasma Neuropeptide Y

摘要

目的

观察针药并用治疗2 型糖尿病高血压及对血浆神经肽Y (Neuropeptide Y, NPY)的影响。

方法

将60 例2 型糖尿病高血压患者按入院顺序, 随机分为两组, 治疗组30 例, 采用针刺加口服硝苯地平缓释片治疗, 对照组30 例, 采用单纯口服硝苯地平缓释片治疗。 于治疗15 d后观察两组患者血压及其血浆NPY含量的变化。

结果

两组患者治疗后其血压和血浆NPY含量均显著降低(P<0.01), 且治疗组优于对照组(P<0.01)。

结论

针药并用对2 型糖尿病高血压患者具有明显的降低血压效果和降低血浆NPY含量的作用。

Abstract

Objective

To observe the effect of combined acupuncture and medication for hypertension due to type 2 diabetes and plasma Neuropeptide Y (NPY).

Methods

Sixty cases with hypertension due to type 2 diabetes were randomized into two groups. Thirty cases in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture and oral extended release nifedipine tablets, while 30 cases in the control group were treated with oral extended release nifedipine tablets alone. After 15 d of treatment, the blood pressure and NPY contents in two groups were observed.

Results

The blood pressure and NPY contents in the two groups were remarkably reduced (P<0.01) and the effect in the treatment group was superior to the control group (P<0.01).

Conclusion

Combined acupuncture and medication can significantly reduce blood pressure and the NPY contents.
