Methods： A rat model of renal hypertension was established by narrowing the left renal artery in the operation group. The corresponding drugs were given once a day respectively. The Normal group, Sham-operation group and Model group were administered with the same volume of normal saline. After 4 weeks of gavage, the thoracic aorta of rat was taken, followed by fixation, embedding, sectioning and HE staining, and NF-κB -p65 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results： 1. The effect of drugs on the expression of NF-κB in thoracic aorta of hypertensive rats （immunohistochemistry）： A small amount of NF-κB protein was expressed in the Normal group and the Sham-operate group. The NF-κB expression in the Model group was significantly increased, and the electron microscope image showed that the brown-yellow granule was distributed in the vascular smooth muscle of the membrane. After treatment, the expression of NF-κB in the Captopril group and the Whole prescription group was significantly reduced compared with the Model group, while the protein expression in other groups was decreased compared with the Model group. The protein expression of captopril group was decreased compared with that of the Whole prescription group. Compared with Promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis group, the expression of NF-κB in Benefiting qi group was significantly decreased and was similar to that in Warming meridian group. Conclusion： The vascular remodeling mechanism of ZLHXTY on renal hypertension rats may be related to its effects on lowering blood pressure, antioxidant stress and anti-inflammation. After the compatibility of formula produced a significant synergistic effect, and its compatibility after embodies multiple targets for treatment of advantages of traditional Chinese medicine.展开更多
