The differences in the contents of nerve injury indexes in serum and platelet activation markers in peripheral blood were compared between the two groups before treatment, after 3 d of treatment and after 7 d of treatment.Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the contents of nerve injury indexes in serum and platelet activation markers in peripheral blood between the two groups before treatment. After 3 d of treatment and after 7 d of treatment, copeptin, H-FABP and NSE contents in serum of danhong injection group were lower than those of routine group whereas BDNF and bFGF contents were higher than those of routine group;CD62p, CD42b, PAC-1 and PMA contents in peripheral blood were lower than those of routine group.Conclusion: Conventional therapy combined with adjuvant danhong injection therapy can effectively reduce the degree of nerve injury and inhibit the platelet activation in patients with acute cerebral infarction.展开更多

Methods: Patients with cerebral infarction complicated by pneumonia who were treated in Huangshi Central Hospital between April 2014 and February 2017 were selected as the infection group of the research, and patients with cerebral infarction who were treated in Huangshi Central Hospital during the same period were selected as the control group of the research. Serum was collected to determine the contents of trace elements Zn, Fe, Cu, Se and Ca as well as infection index PCT, and peripheral blood was collected to determine the erythrocyte immune function indexes. Results: Serum PCT content of infection group was greatly higher than that of control group. Serum zinc and Fe contents as well as peripheral blood RBC-ICR, RBC-C3bR, FEER, CD58 and CD59 levels of infection group were greatly lower than those of control group, FEIR level in peripheral blood was obviously higher than that of control group, and Cu, Se and Ca contents were not greatly different from those of control group;serum zinc and Fe contents as well as peripheral blood RBC-ICR, RBC-C3bR, FEER, CD58 and CD59 levels of infection group of patients with high PCT content were remarkably lower than those of patients with low PCT content, FEIR level in peripheral blood was significantly higher than that of patients with low PCT content, and Cu, Se and Ca contents were not greatly different from those of patients with low PCT content. Conclusion:The deficiency of microelements Zn and Fe as well as the weakening of erythrocyte immune function is closely related to the degree of infection in the patients with cerebral infarction complicated by pneumonia.展开更多
