A Single-Center Clinical Study to Evaluate Shenxiong Glucose Injection Combined with Edaravone in the Treatment of Acute Large-Area Cerebral Infarction

Significance of Edaravone Combined with Emotion Management Model in Promoting the Recovery Process and Improving Negative Psychology in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Combined with Stroke

Methods

Eighty-one patients with T2DM combined with CS who attended our hospital and received rehabilitation treatment from March 2020 to May 2021 were enrolled to a prospective nonrandomized controlled analysis. Among them, 46 patients received EDA combined with emotional management model and were regarded as the observation group (OG), and 35 received EDA combined with conventional care and were seen as the control group (CG). The clinical efficacy and glycemic function of the two groups were compared, and the scores of the Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Self-Assessment Scale for Anxiety and Depression (SAS and SDS) were investigated before and after treatment. At the time of discharge, patient satisfaction with care was counted. Within six months after prognosis, T2DM self-management behavior and CS self-management behavior score surveys were conducted.

Results

There was no difference in clinical efficacy between both groups (P > 0.05); The posttreatment glucose, PSQI, SAS, and SDS scores were lower in the OG than in the CG, while ADL and emotional management scores were higher than in the CG (P < 0.05). In addition, both nursing satisfaction and prognosis disease self-management behavior scores were also higher in the OG than in the CG (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

The EDA combined with emotion management model can effectively promote the recovery process of patients with type II T2DM combined with CS, while improving their negative psychology and enhancing their self-management ability, which has high potential for clinical application.

Effect of Edaravone Combined with Anticoagulant Therapy on the Serum hs-CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α Levels and Activity of Daily Living in Patients with Acute Cerebral Infarction

Objective

To explore the effect of edaravone combined with anticoagulant therapy on the serum hs-CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α levels and the activity of daily living (ADL) in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).

Methods

The clinical data of 84 ACI patients treated in our hospital from August 2020 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into the routine group (n = 42) and the combined group (n = 42) according to the order of admission. Both groups were treated with routine clinical treatment, and the combined group was additionally treated with edaravone combined with anticoagulant therapy. Serum samples were collected from both groups after treatment. ELISA was used to detect the serum inflammatory factor levels, and the modified Barthel index score was used to evaluate the ADL of patients.

Results

Compared with the routine group, the combined group achieved obviously lower levels of PMA, CD62p, and serum inflammatory factors after treatment (P < 0.001), higher modified Barthel score after treatment (P < 0.001), lower plasma viscosity, platelet aggregation rate, and plasma fibrinogen level after treatment (P < 0.001), and higher clinical overall efficacy (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Edaravone combined with anticoagulant therapy is a reliable method to enhance ADL and reduce the inflammatory response of ACI patients. This strategy greatly reduces the platelet-activating factor levels of patients and improves the comprehensive clinical efficacy, and its further research will help to establish a better solution for these patients.
