ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy of butylphthalide on elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction and its effect on serum uric acid,c-reactive protein,and hemorheology.Methods Elderly patients (86 cases) with acute cerebral infarction in Xi'an No.1 Hospital from January 2015 to December 2015 were randomly divided into two groups.The control group was treated with conventional symptomatic treatment of acute cerebral infarction,observation group added with butylphthalide soft capsules.The NIHSS score and efficacy of the two groups,the serum uric acid,c-reactive protein,and the change of hemorheology before and after treatment were compared.Results The effective rate of observation group was 90.70％,significantly higher than that of control group 72.09％ (P ＜ 0.05);The NIHSS score,serum uric acid and c-reactive protein levels,blood viscosity and platelet aggregation rate of two groups after treatment were significantly lower (P ＜ 0.05),the Barthel index were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05),and the change of observation group were more significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Butylphthalide has high curative effect on elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction,can reduce the level of serum uric acid,c-reactive protein and the degree of nerve function defect,improve the hemorheology and life self-care activities ability,which can protect the brain.
