RÉSUMÉ
Objective To explore the effect of butylphthalide on the prognosis of massive cerebral infarction patients.Methods We studied 92 massive cerebral infarction patients hospitalized in the Neurology department of harrison international peace hospital from February 2011 to December 2013 as the researchers.According to the treatment of patients,patients were randomly divided into control group (n=46)and treatment group(n=46),control group was given edaravone.Treatment group was given butylphthalide capsule and edaravone.Two groups were all given 2 weeks treatment continuously.Improvement of symptoms is evaluated by the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS).The effect of butylphthalide on collateral circulation in ischemic infarction area was evaluated by the standards of collateral vessels grading of susceptibility-weighted imaging(SWI)imaging sequence. Results The symptoms and signs of two groups were improved in a certain extent,but the improvement of patients in treatment group was significantly greater than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 ).Degree of NIHSS of treatment group was lower than control group,the difference was also statistically significant (P<0.05).The SWI collateral vessels grading of the two groups were all improved,and the cases of treatment group was higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05 ).The two groups have no obvious adverse reaction.Conclusion Butylphthalide have good effect on massive cerebral infarction.It can effectively improve the nerve function defect,and promote the reconstruction of collateral circulation in ischemic infarction area.
