Effects of Butylphthalide Sodium Chloride Injection Combined with Edaravone Dexborneol on Neurological Function and Serum Inflammatory Factor Levels in Sufferers Having Acute Ischemic Stroke.

For investigating an influence on butylphthalide sodium chloride injection combined with edaravone dexborneol on neurological function and serum inflammatory factor levels in sufferers having acute ischemic stroke, 120 sufferers having acute ischemic stroke from September 2020 to September 2021 are chosen for the study subjects. In line with the diverse therapies, they took part in a control group and the study group, with 60 examples in each group. The control group is treated with edaravone dexborneol, and the study group is treated with butylphthalide sodium chloride injection, based on the control group. The posttreatment curative efficacy on the two groups is recorded, and treatment of both the two groups is compared. Before and after neurological function indexes (NIHSS and mRS), inflammatory factor indexes (IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α), life quality index (Barthel index), hemorheological indexes (plasma-specific viscosity), and neurological levels of NSE are logged and contrasted between the two groups of adverse reactions during therapy. Postcure, the overall response rate and Barthel index of the study group obviously overtop those of the control group (p < 0.05). IL-6, CRP, TNF-α, NSE, plasma specific viscosity, and NIHSS and mRS scores obviously hypodown those of the control group (p < 0.05), and untoward effects on the two groups during curing are lower, and the discrepancy is not obvious(p > 0.05). Butylphthalide sodium chloride injection combined with edaravone dexborneol can enhance curative efficacy on sufferers having acute ischemic stroke, improve neurological function, blood rheology, and quality of life, and decrease the secretion of cytokine, having a better effect and high medication safety.

The efficacy and safety of teriflunomide based therapy in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of teriflunomide in reducing the frequency of relapses and progression of physical disability in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Literatures were searched in Pubmed, Medline and Embase to screen citations from January 1990 to April 2015. Studies of parallel group design comparing teriflunomide and placebo for RMS were screened. After independent review of 234 citations by two authors, seven studies were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. The results showed teriflunomide (7 and 14mg) could significantly reduce annualized relapse rate and teriflunomide at the higher dose could also decrease the disability progression (risk ratio (RR)=0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.55-0.87). And teriflunomide significantly reduce annualized rates of relapses with sequelae-EDSS/FS, relapses leading to hospitalization, and relapses requiring IV corticosteroids. Patients treated with teriflunomide 14mg have a lower annualized rate of relapses with sequelae-investigator (RR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.26-0.52). Teriflunomide 7mg has a higher incidence of diarrhea (RR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.32-2.26) and hair thinning (RR=1.99, 95% CI: 1.4-2.81), while teriflunomide 14mg has a higher incidence of diarrhea (RR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.34-2.18), hair thinning (RR=2.81, 95% CI: 2.02-3.91) and nausea (RR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.03-2.31) compared with placebo. The incidence of elevated alanine aminotransferase levels was also higher with teriflunomide than with placebo. However, the incidence of serious adverse events was similar across groups. In conclusion, teriflunomide significantly reduces annualized relapse rates and disability progression with a similar safety and tolerability profile to placebo.
