Effects of nimodipine combined with mouse nerve growth factor on cerebral edema zone volume,nerve function and serum inflammatory factors levels in patients with cerebral hemorrhage
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of nimodipine combined with mouse nerve growth factor on cerebral edema zone volume, nerve function and serum inflammatory factors levels in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. MethodsA total of 120 patients with cerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional treatment for cerebral hemorrhage, based on which the experimental group was given nimodipine plus mouse nerve growth factor for treatment, with a fourteen-day treatment course. The brain edema zone volume, nerve function (NIHSS score) and serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β) levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. ResultsBefore treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in brain edema zone volume and NIHSS scores between the two groups (P>0.05). After 14 days of treatment, the brain edema zone volume and NIHSS scores of the two groups decreased significantly, and the edema zone volume of the experimental group was significantly smaller than that of the control group, whereas the NIHSS score was significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β between the two groups (P>0.05). After 14 days of treatment, the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the two groups significantly decreased. The levels mentioned above in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). ConclusionAdditionally employing nimodipine and mouse nerve growth factor based on the conventional treatment can more effectively reduce the volume of cerebral edema in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, improve nerve function, decrease serum inflammatory factors levels, and thus promote recovery in patients.
