ABSTRACT
Objective:To correlate homocysteine (Hcy) and blood lipid levels with neurological function in patients with progressive ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 400 patients with ischemic stroke who received treatment between June 2018 and June 2020 in Linhai Second People's Hospital were included in this study. Progressive ischemic stroke ( n = 126) and non-progressive ischemic stroke ( n = 274) groups were designated. Hcy level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triacylglycerol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cholesterol levels were measured using a biochemical analyzer. Hcy and blood lipid levels as well as National Institute Health of Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were determined in each group. Hcy and blood lipid levels were correlated with NIHSS score. Results:Hcy level in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly higher than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(28.39 ± 4.36) μmol/L vs. (20.17 ± 3.24) μmol/L, t = 18.894, P < 0.05]. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , triacylglycerol and TC levels in the progressive ischemic stroke group were (3.29 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (2.08 ± 0.34) mmol/L and (4.82 ± 0.79) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(2.48 ± 0.37) mmol/L, (1.56 ± 0.29) mmol/L and (4.08 ± 0.43) mmol/L, t = 17.644, 14.859, 9.860, P < 0.05]. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly lower than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(1.03 ± 0.13) mmol/L vs. (1.19 ± 0.14) mmol/L, t =11.158, P < 0.05]. NIHSS score in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly higher than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(21.72 ± 4.35) points vs. (15.52 ± 2.89) points, t = 14.582, P < 0.05]. Hcy, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels were linearly and positively correlated with NIHSS score ( r = 0.846, 0.724, 0.718, 0.765, all P < 0.05), while igh-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was linearly and negatively correlated with NIHSS score ( r = -0.710, P < 0.05). Conclusion:In patients with progressive ischemic stroke, Hcy level is increased and blood lipid level is obviously abnormal. Hcy and blood lipid levels are greatly correlated with neurological function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the calcium dobesilate tablets combined with mecobalamin injection in treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and effects on oxidative stress and neurotrophic factor.Methods 82 cases of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) patients from February 2015 to October 2016 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group with 41 cases in each group.The control group was treated with mecobalamin injection, the observation group were treated with calcium dobesilate tablets.The course of treatment was two weeks in two groups.Results The total efficiency of the observation group (90.24%) was higher than the control group (68.29%) , the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ) , patients in the observation group after the treatment of common peroneal nerve and median nerve SCV and MCV higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05), the level of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) in the observation group was lower than that in the control group and the level of superoxide dismutase ( SOD) in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the levels of serum NGF and BDNF in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the two groups were no obvious adverse reactions.Conclusion Calcium dobesilate tablets and mecobalamin injection curative effect in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy , and patients could improve oxidative stress and neurotrophic factors, and the safety is good, has the important research significance.
