ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate Shenqi Fuzheng Injection combined with nimodipine in the treatment of convalescent-phase cerebral infarction and its effects on neurocognitive function, hemorheology and T cell subsets.

Methods:

A total of 108 patients with cerebral infarction in the convalescent phase who received treatment in Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China between April 2016 and December 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either nimodipine treatment (control group, n = 54) or treatment with Shenqi Fuzheng Injection combined with nimodipine (study group, n = 54). Curative effects and changes in neurocognitive function, hemorheology and T cell subsets after treatment relative to before treatment were compared between the control and study groups.

Results:

Total effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group [90.74% (49/54) vs. 75.93% (41/54), χ2 = 4.267, P = 0.039]. After 2 weeks of treatment, whole blood viscosity at a high shear rate, whole blood viscosity at a low shear rate, plasma viscosity in the study group were (4.17 ± 0.24) mPa/s, (9.27 ± 1.98) mPa/s, (1.07 ± 0.19) mPa/s, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(4.52 ± 0.31) mPa/s, (13.69 ± 2.13) mPa/s, (1.34 ± 0.23) mPa/s, t = 6.560, 11.169, 6.651, all P < 0.05]. The proportion of CD 3+ cells, CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ in the study group was (48.59 ± 4.59) %, (44.24 ± 6.17) % and (1.91 ± 0.17) respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(44.97 ± 5.31) %, (39.55 ± 5.13) %, (1.47 ± 0.22), t = 3.790, 4.295, 11.629, all P < 0.05]. The proportion of CD 8+ cells in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(23.13 ± 5.62) % vs. (26.97 ± 4.26) %, t = 4.001, P < 0.05]. Mini-Mental State Examination score in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(28.87 ± 0.85) points vs. (27.91 ± 1.45) points, t = 4.197, P < 0.05]. National Institute Health of Stroke Scale score in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(9.63 ± 2.19) points vs. (15.27 ± 1.97) points, t = 14.070, P < 0.05].

Conclusion:

Shenqi Fuzheng Injection combined with nimodipine can remarkably improve the neurocognitive function, hemorheology and T cell subsets in patients with cerebral infarction in the convalescent phase. The combined method is safe and reliable, and its curative effect is stable.
