目的 :观察针刺对高脂血症患者血脂水平的改善情况。方法 :将 60例高脂血症患者随机分为治疗组和对照组

分别采取针刺及药物疗法。治疗结束后测定高脂血症各相关指标。结果 :针刺疗法可改善高脂血症血清中总胆固醇、甘油三脂、高密度脂蛋白和低密度脂蛋白的含量水平

与治疗前比较有显著性差异 (P <0 0 5)

与对照组比较无显著差异。结论 :针刺的降脂作用与松龄血脉康胶囊相同

疗效明显

安全、经济、无毒副作用Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture on blood lipid in hyperlipidemia patients.Methods: A total of 60 hyperlipidemia patients were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group. In treatment group

bilateral Zusanli (ST 36)

Sanyinjiao (SP 6)

Fenglong (ST 40) and Zhongwan (CV 12) were punctured with gauge-28 filiform needles that were manipulated with uniform reinforcing-reducing method continuously for a while

once every 4 min

20 min altogether. The treatment was conducted once daily

with 10 sessions being a therapeutic course. After 2～3 days' rest

the next course of treatment was carried out. In control group

patients were ordered to take "Songling Xuemaikang" capsules

3 pills every time

3 times everyday

continuously for 30 days. Serum total cholesterol (TC) was determined by using cholesterol esterase/peroxidase enzymatic method

triglyceride (TG) detected using lipase glycerol kniase enzymatic method

serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) detected with phosphate tungstate acid (PTA)-Mg 2+ precipitation method

and low density lipoprotein (LDL) detected with polyvinyl sulfuric acid method.Results: Following 30 days' treatment

self-comparison between pre- and post-treatment in each group showed that serum TC

TG

and LDL levels in these two groups decreased significantly (P<0.05)

while serum HDL increased evidently (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between two groups in these indexes (P>0.05). It displays that both acupuncture and "Xuemaikang" capsule work well in lowering hyperlipidemia.Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy is an effective method for reducing blood lipid in hyperlipidemia patients.
