ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of butylphthalide soft capsules for treatment of acute cerebral infarction and its effect on the neurological function and inflammatory reaction of patients.Methods A total of 100 patients with acute cerebral infarction in the First Hospital of Zhangjiakou City and the Third Hospital Affiliated to Hebei North University from January 2016 to October 2016 were selected and divided into control group (n =50) and treatment group (n =50) according to the treatment protocols.The patients in the control group were given anti-platelet aggregation,statins,and other routine treatment;based on this,the patients in treatment group were orally administrated with butylphthalide soft capsules.The elbow venous blood of patients in the two groups was collected and the C reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels,the platelet aggregation rate were detected.The change of National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) score of patients after four weeks treatment was compared between the two groups.The recovery of neurological function of patients in the two groups was evaluated by modified Rankin grading after three months treatment.Results There was no statistic difference in the CRP,IL-6 levels and platelet aggregation rate before treatment between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The CRP,IL-6 levels and platelet aggregation rate of patients in the two groups after one week treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P ＜ 0.05);and the CRP,IL-6 levels and platelet aggregation rate of patients in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group after one week treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The NIHSS score of patients in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group after four weeks treatment (P ＜ 0.05);the Rankin score of patients in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group after three months treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The total effective rate of patients in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (x2 =13.22,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Butylphthalide soft capsules can significantly reduce the inflammatory reaction in patients with acute cerebral infarction,improve and recover the neurologic impairment;and its curative effect is remarkable.
