ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of xingnaojing combined with naloxone on related indexes of patients with he-patic encephalopathy. METHODS:In retrospective analysis,76 patients with hepatic encephalopathy were divided into control group(40 cases)and observation group(36 cases)according to drug use. Based on routine treatment,control group was additional-ly given Naloxone injection 1 mg added into 10% Glucose solution 100 mL intravenously twice a day. Observation group was addi-tionally given Xingnaojing injection 20 mL added into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 250 mL intravenously once a day on the ba-sis of control group. Treatment courses of 2 groups lasted for 2 weeks. HDS score,MMSE score,the levels of blood ammonia,β-endorphin,CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α,the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment. RESULTS:Af-ter treatment,HDS score and MMSE score of 2 groups were significantly higher than before treatment,and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group;the levels of blood ammonia,β-endorphin,IL-6,CRP and TNF-α in 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statis-tical significance(P0.05). There was no statistical significantly in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on routine treatment,Xingnaojing combined with naloxone can significantly improve cognitive function for patients with hepatic en-cephalopathy and reduce peripheral blood neurotoxin and inflammatory factor,moreover,do not increase the incidence of ADR.
