ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the intervention effect of acarbose on cerebral arterial thrombosis complicated with impaired glu-cose tolerance(IGT).Methods: Totally 120 cases of IGT patients with ischemic stroke were randomly divided into the observation group (58 cases) and the control group(62 cases). The two groups were given the same basic treatment,while the observation group was treated with acarbose 50 mg,po,tid for 3 months additionally. Before and after the treatment,the levels of blood lipid and blood glucose,serum high-sensitivity C reactive protein(hsCRP) and carotid intima media thickness(IMT) and the other adverse drug reac-tions were detected in the two groups. After 6-month follow-up,the new incidence of IGT was compared between the groups.Results:After the treatment,2 hPG,HbAlc,hsCRP and the other indicators in the observation group were significantly improved when com-pared with those before the treatment(P<0.01 or P<0.05),while only hsCRP in the control group was significantly improved when compared with that before the treatment(P<0.05) and that in the observation group. 2 hPG,HbAlc,hsCRP,IMT and the other in-dicators in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group(P<0.01 or P<0.05). There was no signifi-cant change in the level of blood lipid in the two groups. There was no adverse drug reaction during the treatment. After the 6-month follow-up,the new incidence of IGT in the observation group was 1.82%,which was significantly lower than that in the control group (7.27%,P<0.05).Conclusion: Among the patients with cerebral arterial thrombosis complicated with impaired glucose tolerance, the normal treatment measures plus acarbose can effectively delay carotid artery IMT incrassation and decrease the risk of cardiovascular events recurrence with better relative safety.
