Objective: To explore the influence of ginkgolide combined with edaravone on the brain function of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction and its preventive effect on ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods: A total of 126 patients with acute cerebral infarction who were treated in Dazhou Central Hospital between February 2016 and May 2017 were divided into the control group (n=67) and ginkgolide group (n=59) according to different therapies. Control group received routine intravenous thrombolysis + edaravone therapy, and ginkgolide group received routine intravenous thrombolysis + edaravone + ginkgolide therapy. The differences in brain function and nerve ischemia reperfusion injury extent were compared between the two groups. Results: At T1 and T2, serum nerve function indexes NT-proBNP and NSE levels of ginkgolide group were lower than those of control group whereas BDNF levels were higher than those of control group;serum inflammatory mediators MCP-1, NF-κB, CRP and TNF-α levels were lower than those of control group;serum apoptosis molecules caspase-3 and Bax levels were lower than those of control group whereas Bcl-2 levels were higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Ginkgolide combined with edaravone therapy on the basis of intravenous thrombolysis can effectively optimize the brain function and alleviate the ischemia reperfusion injury caused by inflammatory response and apoptosisis in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction.
