title: [Regulatory effect of yishou tiaozhi tablet on lipids in patients with primary hyperlipidemia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the regulatory effect of Yishou Tiaozhi Tablet (YSTZT) on blood lipids in patients with primary hyperlipidemia.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and sixty-eight patients with primary hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into two groups. The treated group was treated with YSTZT 4 tablets 3 times a day, and the control group was treated with Zocor by oral taking 1 tablet before sleep every evening. The therapeutic course for both groups was 60 days. The effect in regulating blood lipids in patients was observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), arteriosclerosis index (AI), apo-lipoprotein B (apoB), TC/HDL-C lowered and apoA/apoB ratio increased obviously in the treated group. As compared the effects between the two groups, the lowering of TC, AI and apoB in the two groups were similar (P > 0.05), effect of YSTZT in lowering TG was superior but in lowering of LDL-C was inferior to those of Zocor respectively (all P < 0.01). The effect of both remedies in elevating HDL-C was not satisfactory. The total effective rate of YSTZT was 91.9%, its individual effects were similar to those of SJZ respectively except in lowering TG and raising HDL-C. The adverse reaction occurred in YSTZT treatment course was mild without any influence on the medication.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  YSTZT had definite regulatory effect on the blood lipids and lipoproteins in patients with hyperlipidemia.
