PG - 7982023 LID - 10.1155/2022/7982023 [doi] LID - 7982023 AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Yiqi Huayu Pinggan Zishen recipe combined with valsartan in the treatment of hypertension and its effect on MMP-9, Ang II, and MCP-1. METHODS: About 100 patients with hypertension treated in our hospital from March 2020 to April 2021 were enrolled. All patients were arbitrarily assigned to the control group and the study group. The former group was cured with valsartan, and the latter group was cured with Yiqi Huayu Pinggan Zishen recipe combined with valsartan. The curative effect, blood pressure level, renal function index, serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), angiotensin II (Ang II) level, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared. RESULTS: First of all, we compared the curative effects; the study group exhibited remarkably effective in 44 cases and effective in 6 cases, and the effective rate was 100.00%, while in the control group, 24 cases were markedly effective, 16 cases were effective, and 5 cases were ineffective; the effective rate was 90.00%. The curative effect in the study group was higher (P < 0.05). Secondly, we compared the blood pressure level. Before treatment, there was no remarkable difference (P > 0.05). After treatment, the blood pressure of the two groups decreased. The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the study group were lower (P < 0.05). In terms of renal function indexes, the levels of blood urine nitrogen (BUN), Cr, and beta 2-MG in the study group were lower, while the level of eGFR in the study group was higher (P < 0.05). The serum levels of MMP-9, MCP-1, and Ang II decreased. Of note, the levels of serum MMP-9, MCP-1, and Ang II in the study group were lower (P < 0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores decreased, and the study group was lower (P < 0.05). Finally, we compared the incidence of adverse reactions. The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was lower (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Yiqi Huayu Pinggan Zishen recipe combined with valsartan in the treatment of hypertension can remarkably reduce the clinical symptoms, enhance the renal function, strengthen the therapeutic effect, promote the ability of independent movement, and reduce the levels of serum MMP-9, MCP-1, and Ang II with high safety, which has the value of clinical application.
