ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the influence of Edaravone on the level of serum gastrin and efficacy in patients with craniocerebral injury.Methods 60 patients with craniocerebral injury were randomly divided into Edaravone group(30 cases) and Dexamethasone group(30 cases).Then each group received corresponding treatment.The level of serum gastrin was detected at 1st d,3rd d,5th d and 7th d after treatment.The curative effect was evaluated based on the neuroligical deficit score(NDS) and Barthel index(BI) one month after treatment.Results The level of serum gastrin in Edaravone group began to decrease at the 3rd d after treatment,at the 5th d and 7th d became to normal value.While,in Dexamethasone group 5th d after treatment,the level of serum gastrin began to decrease,but at the 7th d was still significantly higher than the normal value.The levels of serum gastim at 3 d,5 d and 7 d after treatment were significant difference between the two groups(P
