Efficacy of ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole injection in adjuvant treatment of senile patients with cerebral infarction and its effects on cognitive function and hemorheology
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole injection in adjuvant treatment of senile patients with cerebral infarction and its effects on cognitive function and hemorheology. MethodsA total of 96 senile patients with cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into control group (46 cases) and study group (50 cases) by the random number method. The control group received conventional treatment of cerebral infarction, whereas the study group received ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole injection on the basis of the control group. The neurological function and cognitive function were detected and compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Plasma viscosity (PV), whole blood high shear viscosity (HBV), fibrinogen (Fb) level and whole blood low shear viscosity (LBV) were detected and compared between the two groups before and after treatment. ResultsThe national institute of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After 3 weeks of treatment, patients in the study group had significantly lower NIHSS score and higher MMSE score in comparison with the control group, with statistically significant significances (P<0.05). The total effective rate in the study group (94.00%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (80.43%), with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of PV, HBV, Fb, and LBV between the two groups (P>0.05). After 3 weeks of treatment, the indicators mentioned above in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). ConclusionGinkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole injection adjuvant treatment can effectively improve the neurological function and cognitive function of senile patients with cerebral infarction, significantly improve the clinical efficacy and hemorheological condition of patients, which is worthy of popularization and application.
