ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an uncommon and serious subtype of stroke, which leads to the loss of the patient's ability to produce and live for many years. Objective To investigate the clinical effect of nimodipine in the treatment of SAH. Methods Electronic databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, SinoMed, China Master's Theses Full-text Database (CMFD), China Doctoral Dissertations Full-text Database (CDFD), Cochrane Library, PubMed and Embase were searched from 2010 and 2021. All randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of nimodipine in the treatment of SAH were included in our meta-analysis. The patients were divided into control group and treatment group. Meta-analysis was performed with Stata16.0 software. Results A total of 10 studies were included. Compared with the control group, the treatment group had higher effective rate (OR = 3.21, 95% CI: 2.25, 4.58; p < 0.001), and lower incidence of adverse reactions (OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.19, 0.67; p = 0.001). Before treatment, no significant differences were identified in middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score between the two groups. However, after treatment, the middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (SMD = — 1.36, 95% CI: —2.28, —0.49; p = 0.002) and GCS score (SMD = 1.24, 95% CI: 0.58, 1.89; p < 0.001) in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group. Conclusions Nimodipine is effective in the treatment of SAH, lowering incidence of adverse reactions and therefore improving the prognosis of patients.


Resumo Antecedentes Hemorragia subaracnóidea (SAH) é um subtipo raro e grave de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), o que leva à perda da capacidade do paciente de produzir e viver por muitos anos. Objetivo Investigar o efeito clínico da nimodipina no tratamento da SAH. Métodos As bases de dados eletrônicas, incluindo a China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, SinoMed, Masters Theses Full-text Database (CMFD), China Doctoral Dissertations Full-text Database (CDFD), Cochrane Library, PubMed e Embase foram pesquisadas no período de 2010 a 2021. Todos os ensaios controlados aleatorizados que avaliam a eficácia da nimodipina no tratamento da SAH foram incluídos na nossa meta-análise. Os pacientes foram divididos em grupo controle e grupo de tratamento. Meta-análise foi realizada com o software Stata 16.0. Resultados Foram incluídos um total de dez estudos. Em comparação com o grupo controle, o grupo de tratamento tinha uma taxa mais elevada (OR = 3,21, 95% CI: 2,25, 4,58; p < 0,001), e menor incidência de reações adversas (OR = 0,35, 95% CI: 0,19, 0,67; p = 0,001). Antes do tratamento, não foram identificadas diferenças significativas na velocidade média do fluxo sanguíneo da artéria cerebral e na pontuação de Glasgow coma scale (GCS) entre os dois grupos. No entanto, após o tratamento, a velocidade média do fluxo sanguíneo da artéria cerebral (SMD = −1,36, 95% CI: −2,28, 0,49; p = 0,002) e a pontuação do GCS (SMD = 1,24, 95% CI: 0,58, 1,89; p < 0,001) no grupo de tratamento foram significativamente melhores do que os do grupo controle. Conclusões A nimodipina é eficaz no tratamento da SAH, diminuindo a incidência de reações adversas e, consequentemente, melhorando o prognóstico dos doentes.

ABSTRACT

The effects of galantamine (GAL) on quality of life (QoL) and cognitive speed, as well its effects combined with nimodipine (NIM) in Alzheimer disease (AD) with cerebrovascular disease (mixed dementia), have not been explored. Method : Double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter Brazilian trial, studying the effects of GAL/NIM vs. GAL/placebo (PLA) in mild to moderate mixed dementia. Patients were randomized to receive GAL/NIM or GAL/PLA for 24 weeks. Primary efficacy measures were changes on a computerized neuropsychological battery (CNTB) and QoL Scale in Alzheimer's Disease (QoL-AD) from baseline to week 24. Results : Twenty-one patients received at least one drug dose (9 GAL/NIM and 12 GAL/PLA). Groups were matched for age, sex, education, cognitive and QoL scores at baseline. No significant differences were observed between groups on primary or secondary measures. QoL and cognitive performance showed significant improvement (p<0.05) from baseline when all GAL-treated patients were analyzed. Adverse events were predominantly mild to moderate. Conclusion : GAL treatment improved QoL in mixed dementia, in addition to its previously known cognitive benefits. The combination GAL/NIM was not advantageous. However, the small sample size precludes any definitive conclusions. Trial registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00814658 .


Os efeitos da galantamina (GAL) sobre qualidade de vida (QdV) e velocidade de processamento cognitivo, bem como da combinação com nimodipina (NIM) no tratamento da doença de Alzheimer (DA) com doença cerebrovascular (demência mista) ainda não foram investigados. Método : Estudo multicêntrico brasileiro, duplo-cego, controlado com placebo, avaliando os efeitos de GAL/NIM x GAL/placebo (PLA) na demência mista leve a moderada. Pacientes receberam tratamento com GAL/NIM ou GAL/PLA por 24 semanas. Medidas de eficácia primária foram as variações no desempenho em bateria de testes neuropsicológicos computadorizados e na escala QdV-DA ao final do estudo. Resultados : Vinte um pacientes receberam pelo menos uma dose da droga (9 GAL/NIM e 12 GAL/PLA). Os grupos foram emparelhados por idade, sexo, escolaridade, escores cognitivos e de QdV na linha de base. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos nas medidas de eficácia primária e secundária. Na avaliação de todos os pacientes que receberam GAL, houve melhora significativa (p<0,05) em QdV-DA e desempenho cognitivo. Os eventos adversos foram predominantemente leves a moderados. Conclusão : O tratamento com GAL proporcionou melhora da QdV na demência mista, além dos benefícios cognitivos previamente conhecidos. A combinação GAL/NIM não foi vantajosa. O reduzido tamanho amostral impede conclusões definitivas. .

ABSTRACT

La nimodipina (NMD) es un agente usado como vasodilatador cerebral y cuyas propiedades fisicoquímicas en solución aún no han sido totalmente estudiadas. En la presente investigación se aplicó el Método Extendido de Solubilidad de Hildebrand (MESH) al estudio de la solubilidad de NMD en algunas mezclas binarias PEG 400 + etanol a 298,15 K. Se obtuvo una capacidad predictiva aceptable del MESH (desviación general inferior al 1,3%) al utilizar un modelo polinómico regular de tercer orden, relacionando el parámetro de interacción W con el parámetro de solubilidad de las mezclas solventes. De esta forma, las desviaciones obtenidas en la solubilidad estimada fueron de magnitud inferior a las obtenidas al calcular esta propiedad directamente, utilizando una regresión empírica regular del mismo orden, de la solubilidad experimental del fármaco en función del parámetro de solubilidad de las mezclas disolventes, en la cual se obtuvo una desviación promedio del 1,7%.


Nimodipine (NMD) is a drug used as cerebral vasodilator whose physicochemical properties in solution have not been studied completely. In this work the Extended Hildebrand Solubility Approach (EHSA) was applied to evaluate the equilibrium solubility of NMD in some polyethylene glycol 400 + ethanol mixtures at 298.15 K. An acceptable correlative capacity of EHSA was found using a regular polynomial model in order three (overall deviation lower than 1.3%), when the W interaction parameter is related to the solubility parameter of the mixtures. Moreover, the mean deviation obtained in the estimated solubility with respect to experimental solubility was lower than the one obtained directly by means of an empiric regression in order three of the logarithm experimental solubility as a function of the mixtures' solubility parameters (1.7%).

ABSTRACT

El vértigo es un síntoma que se caracteriza por la ilusión de movimiento. Esto afecta tanto el bienestar individual como la capacidad para realizar las actividades propias de la vida cotidiana, ejerciendo un impacto negativo sobre la calidad de vida, por lo tanto es importante encontrar una terapia efectiva y cómoda que permita al paciente incorporarse a las labores de la vida diaria lo mas rápido posible y con la mejor calidad de vida. Métodos: Se evaluó la efectividad en el tratamiento del vértigo de origen periférico de dos formulaciones de nimodipina, la nimodipina convencional de administración tres veces al día (Nimotop® 30 mg) versus la nimodipina 90 mg. AP de administración una vez al día (Tropocer®). Se realizó un estudio clínico prospectivo, aleatorizado, doble ciego, doble simulado (doble dummy), multicéntrico nacional, de grupos paralelos, donde se incluyeron pacientes con vértigo de origen periférico, definido como una puntuación mayor o igual a 7 en el Vertigo-Dizziness Differential Diagnosis Score (VDDDS)¹. Los pacientes fueron evaluados mediante la escala Índice de Severidad del Vértigo2 y el Índice de Discapacidad Vestibular. Resultados: En el grupo de nimodipina AP el Índice de Severidad del Vértigo² disminuyó en un cincuenta por ciento en el 38% de los pacientes a los 14 días, en 53% y 92% a las 4 y 8 semanas respectivamente. El Índice de Discapacidad Vestibular disminuyó en un 50% a los 14 días en el 31% de los pacientes y en 77% y 92% a las 4 y 8 semanas respectivamente. En el grupo de nimodipina convencional el Índice de Severidad del Vértigo disminuyó en un 50% en: 25% de los pacientes a los 14 días, en 67% y 93% a las 4 y 8 semanas respectivamente. El índice de Discapacidad Vestibular disminuyó en 50% a los 14 días en el 30% de los pacientes y en 78% y 100% a las 4 y 8 semanas respectivamente, sin diferencias significativas entre los grupos


Vertigo is a symptom that is characterized by the illusion of movement. It affects both individual welfare and the ability to perform activities of daily living, having a negative impact on quality of life, so it is important to find a comfortable and effective therapy that allows the patient to join the work of the daily life as soon as possible and with the best quality of life. Methods: We evaluated the effectiveness in the treatment of vertigo of peripheral origin of two formulations of nimodipine: conventional nimodipine of administration three times daily (30 mg Nimotop®) versus nimodipine 90 mg. Extender Release (ER) administration once day (ER Tropocer® 90 mg). We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind, double dummy, national multicenter parallel-group, clinical study which included patients with vertigo of peripheral origin, defined as a score greater than or equal to 7 at the Vertigo-dizziness Differential Diagnosis Score (VDDDS). Patients were evaluated with the scale Index of Severity of Vertigo and Vestibular Disability Index. Results: In the nimodipine ER group, the index of severity of vertigo decreased 50%: in 38% of patients to 14 days in 53% and 92% at 4 and 8 weeks respectively. The vestibular disability index decreased 50% to 14 days in 31% of patients and in 77% and 92% at 4 and 8 weeks respectively. In the nimodipine Conventional group, the index of severi-ty of vertigo decreased in 50% in 25% of patients to 14 days in 67% and 93% at 4 and 8 weeks respectivelyAU)
