ABSTRACT

Objective To observe effect of Rho kinase inhibitor combined with hyperbaric oxygen on the recovery of neurological function after spinal cord injury in patients with thoracolumbar fractures.Methods A total of 80 cases of thoracolumbar fractures combined with spinal cord injury patients as the research object, the packet by the standards of admission of single and double serial number, odd numbers were divided into control group, even number were divided into treatment group (40 cases in each group); two groups underwent surgical treatment, control group was given single usage fasudil treatment, treatment group was given hyperbaric oxygen therapy for auxiliary therapy on the basis of control group, Continuous treatment for two months.Compared neurological function scoring, grading, blood superoxide dismutase (SOD) , epithelial growth factor (EGF) , lipid peroxide (LPO) and adverse reactions pre-and post-treatment between two groups of patients.Results After treatment,total effective rate of treatment group (92.50%), ASIA sensory, movement scores were significantly higher than control group (75.00%)(P<0.05);Content of SOD and EGF of treatment group were significantly higher than control group(P<0.05);the adverse reaction rate (12.50%) was significantly lower than that of control group (32.50%)(P<0.05).Conclusion Rho kinase inhibitor combined with hyperbaric oxygen can significantly improve the degree of injury, neurological function and blood SOD, EGF, LPO content in patients with lumbar vertebral fractures combined with spinal cord injury, and the adverse reactions are few, has definite clinical effect.
