ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of butylphthalide on the memory,movement and ERP (event-related potentials) in patients with cerebral infarction cognitive impairment.Methods A total of 134 patients with cerebral infarction cognitive impairment were randomly divided into treatment group (67 patients) and control group (67 patients).All patients were given conventional cerebral infarction treatment as well as cognitive improvement intervention.Oral administration of butylphthalide was added onto the patients in the treatment group.Curative effects were observed after 30 days′ continued treatment.The cognitive function scores,memory scores,movement scores,ERP test and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results After 30 days′ treatment,two groups of the montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) scores were 27.2±4.9 and 25.1±4.1 respectively;the total scores of memory were 5.5±0.5 and 4.9±0.5 respectively;the scores of motor assessment scale (Fugl-meyer) were 85.6±6.2 and 74.2±6.1 respectively and P3 amplitudes were (9.5±0.9)μV and (8.1±0.9)μV respectively.All the indexes mentioned above in treatment group were significantly increased compared with those of before treatment(P<0.05).The results of N1,N2,P2 and P3 in the latency detection were significantly decreased compared with those of before treatment(P<0.05).And the results of P2 and P3 in the latency detection of the treatment group were shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,no adverse reaction was observed in both groups.Conclusion Based on conventional cerebral infraction treatment,oral administration of butyraldehyde effectively improve the therapeutic effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of excision of peripheral sympathetic nerve network in common carotid artery on children with cerebral palsy (CP)and the effect on their cognitive function. Methods A ret-rospective study method was admitted to preschool children with CP in 69 cases in Center of Brain Disease,the Third Hospital Affiliated to Xinxiang Medical University from July 2008 to August 2014, the common carotid artery sympathetic with the surrounding network stripping off resection treatment of 43 cases ( surgery group) ,without the use of surgery in the treatment of children with 26 cases ( no operation group) . The muscle tension improved, movement to improve the ability of 2 groups before and after treatment 6 months were detected and compared. Developmental quotient ( DQ) ,intelligence quotient ( IQ) ,bilateral middle cerebral artery ( MCA) hemodynamic index difference were deter-mined between 2 groups before and after treatment 6 months. Results After treatment 6 months,the muscle tension score and walking ability score of the surgery group were significantly better than those of no operation group [(2. 2± 1. 1) scores vs (4. 5±0. 6)scores,(3. 5±0. 7) scores vs (2. 7±0. 8) scores,all P<0. 05],and significantly improved compared with before treatment[(4. 8±0. 6)scores,(2. 2±0. 9)scores,all P<0. 05]. After treatment 6 months,the IQ score,fine motor, social adaptation, personal social, language score and MCA mean velocity ( MV ) , peak velocity ( PV) ,resistance index ( RI) ,pulsatility index ( PI) determination value of the surgery group were significantly higher than those of no operation group and before treatment (all P<0. 05). Conclusions Excision of peripheral sympathetic nerve network on common carotid artery has a good clinical effect in the treatment of CP , and can significantly improve the cognitive function of children with CP .
