RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the effect of butylphthalide combined with fasudil in the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with cerebral vasospasm (CVS) on inflammatory factors, cognitive function and vascular endothelial function. Methods: It is a retrospective study in which a total of 104 patients with SAH with CVS admitted to Baoding First Central Hospital from July 2020 to February 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two groups by drawing lots. Patients in the control group were treated with basic symptomatic treatment, while those in the observation group were treated with butylphthalide soft capsule combined with fasudil hydrochloride injection on the basis of the control group. Before and after treatment, serum neuron specific enolase (NSE), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-8(IL-8), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (CRP), Birmingham Cognitive Screen test (BCoS) score, serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), serum endothelin-1(ET-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels, and endothelium-dependent vasodilation function (FMD) in the two groups were compared. Results: After treatment, the expression levels of NSE, TNF-α, IL-8 and CRP in the two groups were significantly decreased, and the expression levels of all indicators in the observation group were lower than that in the control group (p<0.05). After treatment, the scores of orientations, attention, memory, language, practice and action in the two groups were significantly increased, and the scores of all dimensions in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). After treatment, S-ICAM-1, ET-1, VEGF, FMD decreased in both groups, and all indicators of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Conclusion: Butylphthalide combined with fasudil therapy was found as effective in reducing inflammatory factors, ameliorating cognitive function and vascular endothelial function in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage complicated with cerebral vasospasm.
