Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To study the influence of butyphthalide combined with urinary kallikrein in acute cerebral infarction (ACI) treatment on neuro-cytokines and indicators of vascular endothelial function, observe the curative effect and adverse effects, and discuss its safety and feasibility. Method: 110 ACI patients were chosen as the objects, and classified into observation group (55 cases) and control group (55 cases) according to the method of random number table. Butyphthalide injection combined with urinary kallikrein was adopted for the observation group based on conventional treatment, while cinepazide maleate injection combined with alprostadil injection was applied for the control group based on conventional treatment. The following indicators of both groups were compared before and after treatment: neurotrophic factor (NTF), nerve growth factor (NGF), neuron specific enolase (NSE); content of CXC chemotactic factor ligand 16 (CXCL16), soluble CD ligand (CD40L), Fibulin-5 and high mobility group box B1 (HMGB1); the content of indicators of vascular endothelial function including plasma endothelin −1 (ET-1) and no therapeutic effects and adverse effects were recorded. Results: NSE of both groups after treatment decreased obviously, and the content of NTF and NGF increased obviously. NSE content of observation group was lower than that of control group. NTF content and NGF content of observation group were higher than those of control group. The differences had statistical significance ( p < 0.05). The levels of CXCL16, CD40L, Fibulin-5 and HMGB1 declined obviously, compared with pre-treatment, and the levels of observation groups were significantly lower than those of control grip. The differences had statistical significance ( p < 0.05). ET-1 level rose significantly after treatment, and NO level declined obviously after treatment. ET-1 level of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group, and NO level of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group. The difference had statistical significance ( p < 0.05). Clinical effect of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group. The difference had statistical significance ( p < 0.05). The comparison difference of both groups in the occurrence rate of adverse effects had no statistical significance ( p > 0.05). Conclusion: The application of butyphthalide combined with urinary kallikrein in ACI treatment can effectively inhibit secretion and release of neuro-cytokines, and improve patients' vascular endothelial function, with significant treatment effect and high safety. Therefore, it deserves to be promoted clinically.
