ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To discuss the effect of folic acid on the homocysteine(Hcy)and flow-mediated vasodilation and cog-nitove function in the treatment of elderly patients with cerebral infarction.

METHODS:

The data of 198 elderly patients with cere-bral infarction was randomly divided into the observation group and the control group by different medication. Control group was treated with conventional treatment;based on the treatment of control group,observation group was orally treated with Folic acid tabelts 5 mg,once a day. The treatment course of 2 groups was 8 weeks. The Hcy level and flow-mediated vasodilation(FMD)be-fore and after treatment,mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were ob-served.

RESULTS:

After treatment,Hcy level in observation group was significantly lower than before and control group,FMD was significantly higher than before and control group(P<0.01). MMSE score in observation group was significantly higher than control group(P<0.01). There were no obvious adverse reactions in 2 groups during treatment.

CONCLUSIONS:

Based on the con-ventional treatment,folic acid can effectively reduce the Hcy level of elderly patients with cerebral infarction,improve the cogni-tive function and reduce the brain tissue damage,with good safety.
