ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the relative factors for the prognosis in elderly patients with stroke,and provide theoretical basis for improving prognosis.Methods 188 elderly patients with stroke were treated in our department from Jan.2011 to Nov.2013,and clinical data was analyzed.The prognosis and relative risk factors for stroke were statistically analyzed.Results 99 cases had good prognosis,89 cases had poor prognosis,and the recovery rate were 52.7％ (99/188) and 47.3％ (89/188) respectively.The age was older in group of good prognosis than in group of poor proghosis (t=1.7930,P＜0.05).Univariate analysis showed that the age,position of cerebral infarction,size of lesions,hypertension,diabetes,drinking and smoking were associated with the prognosis of stroke (t=1.7930,x2 =8.6473,15.046,13.1334,4.1536,5.7004,5.9043,respectively,all P＜0.05),while the prognosis was not associated with gender,a family history of stroke,hyperlipidemia and heart disease.Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed the prognosis of stroke was related with risk factors of age (OR=1.072),size of the lesion (OR=3.481),hypertension (OR=2.034),diabetes (OR=1.631) and smoking (OR=3.144).Conclusions It is beneficial to the prognosis of patients with stroke to stop bad habits and to treat hypertension and diabetes actively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Edaravone on transient ischemic attack and serum superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde levels in the elderly.Methods Ninety eight cases with transient ischemic attack treated in our hospital were chosen as the objects, which were randomly divided into observation group and control group (n=49 for each).Patients in observation group were treated with Edaravone combined with conventional therapy, and patients in control group were treated with conventional therapy.The clinical effect and levels of SOD and MDA were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results The effective rate and total efficiency were higher in observation group than in control group (79.6％ vs.55.1％, 95.9％ vs.83.7％, x2 =6.914 and 4.354, P=0.008 and 0.032).The SOD level was higher and the MDA level was lower in observation group than in control group (both P＜0.001) after treatment.Conclusions Edaravone could improve the symptoms of transient ischemic attack in the elderly, and increase the activity of SOD and reduce MDA level, which is helpful to reduce lipid peroxides, alleviate free radical toxicity, and improve the anti-oxidation ability.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effects of recipe of Jiangtanghuoxue in the treatment of diabetic cerebral infarction and recovery of cognitive function .Methods 54 patients with diabetic cerebral infarction were se-lected and divided into control group and treatment group evenly and randomly .Control group received regular treat-ment,while treatment group received additional treatment of recipe of Jiangtanghuoxue .Total efficacy,level of HbA1c were detected ,MMSE and MoCA were used to test the cognitive function .Results Total efficacy in the treatment group(88.89%) was significantly higher than 70.57% of the control group (χ2 =4.358,P<0.05);The level of HbA1c was significantly lower in treatment group than that in the control group (P<0.05);score of MMSE and MoCA improved significantly after treatment for all patients(P<0.05),but more significantly in the treatment group(P<0.05). Conclusion Recipe of Jiangtanghuoxue is suitable in the treatment of diabetic cerebral infarction ,improving cognitive function at the same time .
