Effect of Peiyuan Tongnao Capsule on Recovery of Neurological Impairment of Ischemic Stroke in Recovery Period and Its Mechanism of Action
To discuss the effect of Peiyuan Tongnao capsules on neurological impairment of patients with ischemic stroke at convalescence
and discuss the mechanism of action in microcirculation improvement
anti-inflammation and neuroprotection.
Method:
2
One hundred and thirty one patients were randomly divided into control group (66 cases) and observation group (65 cases) by random number table. Patients in control group were given aspirin enteric-coated tablets
0.1 g/day
simvastatin tablets
10 mg/days
and treated by percutaneous nerve electrical stimulator for 30 times
30 min/time
1 time/day
5 times/week. In addition of the therapy in control group
patients in observation group were also given Peiyuan Tongnao capsules
3 grains/time
3 times/days. A course of treatment was 12 weeks. Before treatment
and at the 4
th
8
th
and 12
th
weeks
neurological deficits in the national institutes of health (NIHSS)
activity of daily life scale (ADL)
berg balance scale (BBA)
fugl-meyer scale (FMA) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes were scored. And levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
neuron-specific enolase (NSE)
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-
α
)
homocysteine (Hcy) and serum cystatin C (Cys-C) and hemorheological indicators whole blood viscosity
high shear rate
low shear rate
reduced viscosity
plasma viscosity
platelet aggregation rate
fibrinogen (FIB) and blood sedimentation rate (ESR)were detected.
Result:
2
At the 8
th
and 12
th
week after treatment
score of NIHSS in observation group was lower than that in control group (
P
<
0.01)
and NIHSS in observation group declined more than that in control group (
P
<
0.01). Scores of ADL
BBA and FMA and levels of BDNF were higher than those in control group (
P
<
0.01)
while scores of TCM syndromes and levels of NSE
IL-6
TNF-
α
Hcy
Cys-C and hemorheological indices were all lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01). And by rank sum test
the clinical effect in observation group was superior to that in control group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion:
2
Peiyuan Tongnao capsules can promote the recovery of neurological impairment at recovery period of ischemic stroke
regulate inflammatory factors
improve blood rheology
protect neural function
and improve the effect of routine western medicine rehabilitation therapy.
