Effect of Butylphthalide combined with Urinary Kallidinogenase on the pathological course of nerve damage in patients with massive cerebral infarction

Objective: To study the effect of Butylphthalide combined with Urinary Kallidinogenase on the pathological course of nerve damage in patients with massive cerebral infarction. Methods:The patients with massive cerebral infarction who received treatment in our hospital between January 2016 and December 2017 were selected and randomly divided into the group A receiving Butylphthalide treatment, the group B receiving Urinary Kallidinogenase treatment and the group C receiving Butylphthalide combined with Urinary Kallidinogenase treatment on the basis of conventional treatment. 14 d after treatment, serum levels of nerve markers, coagulation indexes, growth factors and oxidative stress indexes were determined. Results:After treatment, visinin-like protein-1 (VILIP-1), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100B protein (S100B), thromboxane A2 (TXA2), lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), D-dimer (D-D), 8-isoprostanes F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of 3 groups significantly decreased whereas nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) levels significantly increased, and VILIP-1, NSE, S100B, TXA2, LPA, D-D, 8-iso-PGF2α and MDA levels of the group C after treatment were significantly lower than those of the group A and group B whereas NO, NOS, VEGF, BDNF, IGF-I, SOD and T-AOC levels were significantly higher than those of the group A and group B. Conclusion: Butylphthalide combined with Urinary Kallidinogenase is better than monotherapy in improving the pathological course of nerve damage in patients with massive cerebral infarction.
