Abstract:

Objective To explore the curative effect of butylphthalide (D) combined with low-dose recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for intravenous thrombolysis on elderly patients with ultra-early cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 156 elderly patients with ultra-early cerebral infarction were retrospectively enrolled as the research objects. According to different treatment methods, patients were divided into the D+low rtPA group [30 cases, butylphthalide combined with low-dose (0.6 mg/kg) rt-PA], the D+standard rtPA group [62 cases, butylphthalide combined with standard-dose (0.9 mg/kg) rt-PA], the low rtPA group [30 cases, low-dose (0.6 mg/kg) rt-PA] and the standard rtPA group [34 cases, standard-dose (0.9 mg/kg) rt-PA]. After thrombolysis, scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NHISS), Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and activity of daily living (ADL), and inflammation indexes were compared between the four groups. The poor prognosis was statistically analyzed. Results After 7 days of thrombolysis, the addition of butylphthalide reduced NHISS and mRS scores, as well as neutrophil count (NET), platelet count (PLT) and neutrophil absolute value/lymphocyte absolute value (NLR) levels (P<0.05), while increased ADL scores and lymphocyte count (LYT, P<0.05). The levels of NHISS score, mRS score, ADL score, NET, LYT, PLT, NLR and platelet absolute value/neutrophil absolute value (PNR) were not affected by different doses of rt-PA (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the overall adverse prognosis rate between the four groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Butylphthalide combined with low-dose and standard-dose rt-PA is safe and effective in the treatment of elderly patients with ultra-early cerebral infarction.
